Discussion of that stuff is frowned upon here, don't do it or you'll get the thread closed. Don't be 'that guy'.

He obviously decided he needed a new one, bought one at Walmart, switched them, and returned it. Not only did someone accept the return but some other idiot put it on a shelf where it probably sat for months considering no other stores had any in stock. Many Walmart employees are not very smart and very few seem to give a shit about their job. I have no trouble believing him. That said, just because a store's policy doesn't require a receipt doesn't mean you should just return anything you feel like no matter where it came from. I hope people that do that never complain about a store not upholding their end of the agreement when it comes to policy or being fair to the consumer.

This. Heck, there were people on my floor freshman year of college (6 years ago) who would buy Nerf guns, play with them for 3 months, then bring em' back and say they didn't work. Got their money back every time. Granted, I would never advocate anything like that, just reiterating louie's point. I was in shock when they told me they did this over and over. I'd feel massive guilt if I did something like that on a regular basis.

This is the first time I've swapped a game like that before though, and I have no plans of making a habit of it. Truth be told the Jak Collection is the first game I'm keeping so far. Bought LBP 2, Infamous 2, Ratchet & Clank, and GT5 before we won them, and I couldn't play the Move games since I didn't have Move (Missed the MLB 11/Motorstorm month). I sold the non-Move games to friends for cheap and the Move stuff on Craigslist. I had planned to buy both the Jak Collection and MLB 12 though, so that's pretty awesome.

And for the record, I own 28 PS3 exclusives, all of which I bought new and 20 of them I bought launch week. I support my devs.

I'll shut up about it now.

Well, off the topic of Wal-Mart shenanigans, it's looking like GT5XL will arrive for me today. I'm gonna watch some videos to get myself hyped...I honestly don't know a whole lot about it...I've just wanted a racing game for a long time so I'm excited. How much room does it take up on the hard drive again? DC Universe is taking up a ton of space, I may have to delete it... >.>

Box says 2200 MB. DCUO took up most of my 80 GB HDD too. I just bought a 320 GB drive for $60 to replace it. B/U & restore went pretty smooth actually.

I may end up investing in a better HDD then. I only have a 40, and DCUO takes up close to 30 GB, if not more...I think I have 5000 MB or so available at present so it'll be close.

Do it, upgrading an PS3s HDD is extremely cheap and simple.

Got Jak & Daxter HD collection yesterday along with the USB car charger and flashlight/screwdriver with changeable bits.

Okay this is kinda odd......Okay basically i signed up for this around the time it started but forgot about it. Last month i logged in and decided that this site wasnt for me. Last night i got an email from fedex saying that HOUSE PARTY FULFILLMENT CTR was sending me something, and unfortunately i moved recently and they shipped it to my old address. I am assuming i cant get them to forward it, but is there anyway someone can tell me what i would be getting?

FedEx just dropped off my game (GT5). Gash is only in the plastic and the barcode is untouched. No big deal, I plan on keeping it anyhow.

The large install is 6.4GB, and after playing the various tracks and whatnot it expands to 10GB. With patches my GT5 game data is 12GB.

If I remember correctly, the small patch just saves you from having to wait 45 minutes right away. I think the game still unpacks all the data eventually, but I don't know for sure (since I didn't do the small install option). And since version 2.00 is on the disc, that'll probably save you some space as well.

nice - mine is on the FedEx truck out for delivery. And I get January's stuff delivered tomorrow.

Ah, 12 gb is a heft sum...I just decided to delete DCUO until I get a bigger HDD. I'd love to keep it but I've already sacrificed deleting Wipeout HD and inFAMOUS for it...

I've played a bit already, and the load times aren't terrible but on the bigger tracks I was waiting around 45 seconds so I'm installing it now. When I rejected the 8gb install, it was showing "Installing..." in the bottom right every time I'd select something so I guess if you don't install the additional data, it streams it into a cache while you're using it.

Since I don't have DCUO on my HDD, 12gb isn't too bad, so I'm not too bothered about installing it.

The game is really fun though. I've just gotta get the actual racing mechanics down. I was never too good at Forza so I'm not surprised that I'm not the best at this game. Turns are kind of a problem for me but I've won a Beginner's Race and got the B-Class license! hahaha

January's Prizes. Awesome, they are GT5 themed.

You should have gotten an award email detailing what prizes you qualified to receive.

If you live in the same area, you may try having them hold it at their distro center for pick-up. You will need the tracking number. Otherwise, they will just leave it on the door step of your old address.

I suggest changing your mailing info on house party so that you receive proper delivery for this month.

just got my january stuff in the mail, the "kit" is actually a gt5 screwdriver kit, and the usb charger works with any usb device and is gt5 themed...

well off to play jak and daxter

I have asked the plants... but they do not remember

i have asked the rocks but they do not recall

even the rocks do not recall

It truly is. I think I posted my story on this thread. I paid $69.99 for a 750GB External HDD. Took out my original HDD, and installed the new one. After backing up/restoring my data; it took roughly 4 hours to complete. My original HDD was almost full at the time. Great investment if you ask me. If only Xbox followed suit, and did the same thing.

I received GT5XL. I'll have to get to that one eventually. Not a huge fan of the series, but hey free is free.

sweet got gt5xl today.
quick question the dlc code, If i apply it to one account is that the only account that has the extras, or do all my accounts on my ps3 get to use the dlc?
I ask because i think there was some weird thing going on with gt5 dlc.

Got my games yesterday and today. The slash in GT5 isn't too bad, but the J&D case is pretty destroyed.

The whole bottom portion of the case is ripped off. :( Will post pictures if anyone wants to laugh at me.

Haven't even gotten my GT5XL yet. Said it was supposed to be here today and they usually get here before noon, but it's already past 3. Hopefully it didn't get swiped by my a-hole neighbors.

As far as the case goes, that really sucks. No laughs from me. That isn't cool :(
