2. How do i pay for gaming apps without a credit card?

So i just recently popped my smartphone cherry and got 2 good smartphones. (i was told) an HTC One S and a galaxy s 2.....as soon as we got these phones the battery was the main issue but everyone has issues with them....so i did some common battery saving tips that i knew off the top of my head...if anyone has any other tips...i would greatly appreciate it

i posted some of these questions in the forums but no one has responded........yet....mayb someone who only reads the blogs has some ideas




just thought i should throw it out there but.........

i just bought a refurb. PS3 from frys.....does sony have extended warranties on refurb. PS3's?? (fry's doesnt offer on refurb. PS3's) ]]> aleraiders http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=24167 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=22257 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:38:05 GMT Image: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7725/ps3blog.jpg Did Sony move too fast? too...



Did Sony move too fast? too late? on time?

On the news all you hear is “jobs, jobs, jobs”…Its depressing, its all makes us worry. I'm thinking Sony has had this card up there sleeve for some time now. Nintendo's shares are falling. Microsoft is in a tail spin. The U.S. has been “downgraded.” whatever the fuck that means


Does this make Sony a leader?

I say yes and no. Yes because the Vita is getting somewhat good reviews. A price cut for all consoles doesn’t hurt. It actually might jumpstart everyone who is holding on to there money instead of giving it to wall street. No because we still dont know if people will spend during these tough times.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft follows suit and maybe even lowers there price even more.

Thoughts??? ]]> aleraiders http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=22257 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=22141 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:19:26 GMT Image:...

Short story for anyone who cares.... So after hearing about all this debt crisis, economy disaster etc....i decided to let loose and head to a casino. Its incredible how much fun, time consuming it is. We spend over 10 hrs losing $300 and ended up winning $500 at the end of the day. So if my math is write i won $700 in the last 2 hrs since i only had $100 at one point.

My poison - Blackjack
Highs - Went 3/3 on $100+ bets (including a blackjack)
Lows - Only had $100 left and played one last hand (and won)



....if you spent over 10hrs and only feel like its been a few hours

....if the dealers know you by name

....if you make a blog about gambling

....if you're wife has to drag you away from the table

....if you dont feel hungry at the casino

....if you only feel like your going to piss on yourself if your losing

....if you cant sleep because you feel like heading right back

....if you and you're wife cant stop talking about how we won $500

Winners - Nintendo/Sony

Losers - Microsoft


Nintendo barely beats out sony for the fact that the Wii U controllers possibilities. It literally had me saying "oh shit I might get that." I’m not the biggest Nintendo fan by any means. I hate when my son plays the Wii at target. Anyways...It all sounded too perfect to be true until I heard and saw that the pictures were faked. Ubisoft now says that some features that were showed may not even make it in the game.

This brings me to my statement of why Nintendo and Sony almost tied. Sony has had a bad month and still put out a decent showing. Sony is trying to bring back the dying handheld market and may do it with the Vita (really bad name but a decent price). Yea yea I can play angry birds on my phone and all but I for sure cant play uncharted on it. The fact that I can play 2 way multiplayer on the same 3D screen is also bad ass. Even tho you can do it with some theater glasses I heard. dust really caught my attention for the fact it somehow has eve online cross platform abilities.

Microsoft brought MW3, halo remake, halo 4, and gow 3....nothing new.....nothing to say "ohhhh shit!" except for the mw3 gameplay, it was action packed

Kinect......I don’t blame Microsoft for catering the casual crowd.....just like Nintendo they made a killing business wise....but they did ignore the rest of the gamers....now a few questions

will Microsoft also ignore the rest of the gamers???...
how much halo, cod, gow, fable, mass effect, etc etc will we get???
will the ignored gamers jump ship to sony or Nintendo??

biggest question of all......do these bad E3 conferences mean that microsoft is focusing on there new console already???

Nintendo B+
Sony B
Microsoft C- ]]> aleraiders http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=21702 http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=21554 Tue, 24 May 2011 00:12:45 GMT Image: http://betacache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/05/xlarge_mw3_trailer.jpg ...
