Anyone have this? I'm mildly interested (I'm at least $10 in gas away from TRU).

Damn. Ain't shit on sale for PS3.

The throat communicator is $9.99 on Amazon as well, but the reviews all point to a big no-no in mic standards: All ambient room noise, most importantly including the game sounds, are picked up in the mic.

I played YDKJ with someone with a headset that did this and it was utterly annoying. I could hear the questions being read through his headset 1/2 a second after hearing them on my TV. I wouldn't never want to be the cause of that torture on anyone, and this headset seems to do that across the board, as mentioned in almost every Amazon/Gamestop review.

I have the headset and I have had zero problems with it. I can hear people crystal clear and I asked them if I sounded okay and they said yeah. The only complaint they had was that I sounded like I was kind of far away from the mic, but I was talking quietly.

Sucks that X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition for PS3 isn't on sale. Might jump on Monster Hunter but that's about it.

That always happens with Power Saver. Most games that don't move during the sale go lower until those bins are mostly empty.

It's the usual gamble of buy and make sure you get it or wait and hope it doesn't sell out.

At first I thought the person posting about Gummy Bear Mini-Golf was joking. Damn there's a lot of crap on Wii.

Fricken Activision and it's Xbox loving bias.

DJ Hero 2 turntable bundle:
PS3/Wii = $25.99
Xbox360 = $24.99


This is why I own almost no Activision games. They always spit in my face for not believing in Microsoft.

For a second I thought you were serious. Sometimes it's tough to tell on this site.

I really like that Star Wars Wii Sensor Bar Holder, but $10 seems a bit too much.

You think Activision isn't biased towards Xbox?

All COD DLC are 1 month early.
Xbox prices are usually $10 - $30 less.

They give me no reason to purchase their games when I always see cheaper prices solely on the competing console I do not wish to own.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that the lower price here is because Activision has some prearrangement with GameStop that the Xbox version be cheaper.

I picked up the DJ Hero 2 bundle as well as a copy of the first game during the last sale and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Well you're in luck, the difference is only $1.

It's never been the amount of the difference that has angered me. It's the fact that there always seems to be a difference. $1 or $10, it is always only on sale or on a deeper sale (as in this case) on Xbox.

Now truthfully I considered buying it when I saw the $25 price, but once I saw the higher price for the system I actually own I decided not to give Activision my money at this time. I'll wait until I can get it for $10, just like I did with the original game.

You don't know what you're talking about man. Activision loves money, not xbox.
Microsoft pays out the ass to gain the early exclusivity on dlc. Its not just activision either, microsoft owners get fallout dlc early to.
Microsoft pays like crazy for the privelege, and companies love to grant it and why not? Sony owners will still buy the dlc, just later.

Nothing to do with anyone loving anyone, everything to do with money.

I do know what I'm talking about.

Whether or not they are being paid to give so many benefits to microsoft, I have no incentive to purchase their games on the only console I own. Why should I buy a game for $40, $50, $60, etc. when anyone with an Xbox can almost always get it for less?

DJ Hero 2 Bundle for $26 seems to be about the only good PS3 sale listed.

The cost to the consumer is higher because of a $7 per sku console fee xbox & sony charges. Now, that console fee can be lowered if the publisher provides an exclusive content only to that console. In addition, sony charges an additional licensing fee for blu-ray technology. Part of that extra $1 you pay also covers the 'free' multi-player servers on PS3.
