    Gamestop giving away $50 Gift Card with PS4 purchase

    That's nothing. People on street corners are offering salvation for free. But if you look carefully at the drawing of Jesus on the pamphlet they hand you, there's a little gray button on his forehead that reads "Not Available."

    Black Friday Gaming Deals 2009

    If only WM ran a similar deal on the PS3 version (since I don't have a 360 at the moment). I doubt they will, though. BTW: I know people who paid $15 more than you did for their 360 copies, so don't beat yourself up.

    Silent Hill Shattered Memories GameStop preorder bonus soundtrack

    The problem isn't that Silent Hill games are played out. The problem is Konami's choice of developers after the departure of the original team. I don't know how hard they tried to get Team Silent to return to the franchise, but the idea of getting the original crew to do a technologically and...

    Amazon Father's Day Sale - Wii - Top Spin 3 $20, SWSnowboard $30, GH: Metallica $33

    I think you'll be happy with that decision, mastermind. I own two PSP Slims (one was a gift) and used the Joytron/Nuritech case for one and the Logitech for the other. The Joytron was fitted to the Slim like no other case I've seen, but it was also, at day's end, a set of flimsy pieces of...

    Resident Evil 5 Xbox Elite Bundle $399 - Back In Stock @ Amazon!

    Link, possibly? I'm not familiar with the EPP and DPA discounts or what either of those acronyms actually stand for.

    Resident Evil 5 Xbox Elite Bundle $399 - Back In Stock @ Amazon!

    Have the people who "hate" the color actually seen it in the shiny plastic flesh? Everyone should know by now that photos and artwork are rarely color-accurate --esp. given all the possible variables between the object, their screen and yours. Red Jasper 360 Elite + RE5 and extras -- this...

    PS2: God Hand $9.99 at bestbuy in holiday bins!

    To the people who are worried God Hand isn't any good: props to Clover Studio, anyone? These are the people who made Okami -- what are the odds that one of the few games they ever made is completely without merit? Even if it's a flawed game, it will be worth playing for the concept until your...

    Target Clearance Thread XII (Post DPCI numbers for the OP!)

    Whether it be at Gamestop or Target, hoarders aren't necessarily fighting other gamers so much as employees. If you think Customer Service has customers' interests at heart, you're living in another country. On the other hand, I can understand The Enemy's mindset: What are the perks of...

    Amazon: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playstation 3 BC 80gb - Now in stock

    Let's hope they learned from the minidisc and give (I hate this neologism) "prosumers" what they demand before it's too late, by which time specialized outrage has penetrated mass culture and led to total indifference. This is not the best economic climate for another standoff ploy. It's...

    Amazon: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playstation 3 BC 80gb - Now in stock

    http://www.ps3-hacks.com/category/3 http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=87996 However, I just learned something unfortunate: the Motorstorm/MGS 80GB requires at least 2.51 FW. This means I'd have to find a used PS3 6OGB (long gone on gamefunk) to pursue the project I thought would...

    Amazon: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playstation 3 BC 80gb - Now in stock

    I've got the 80GB and the noise doesn't bother me, either. I'm trained as a classical musician, so obvious noise is a definite distraction. However, it's worth noting that certain sensitive people are annoyed by the sound of the MG4- and Motorstorm-bundled 80GB. Those people should probably...

    Amazon: Metal Gear Solid 4 Playstation 3 BC 80gb - Now in stock

    He means SACDs -- Super Audio CDs -- which are 24-bit 192k and can sound amazing if your speakers and amp are up to the task of showing why. Here's a little-reported fact about the BC PS3: It's the only SACD player capable of sending HD multichannel audio to digital outs. Every other SACD...

    What color PSP do you own?

    I read about the blue kit last weekend, silent h3ro -- it was all over MaxConsole. However, the Datel battery's efficacy is limited, acc. to Dark Alex, and the very last Slims might have slightly different issues from the 3000 series. I'm not ruling out the idea that 3000s and very late 2000s...

    Logitech playgear PSP case skins.

    More to the point, do the the slim and Phat cases' skin-ready lids differ in length and width, or can the template and skins in this thread be used? Baron O Hell: Where are you getting your information? I bought the Slim case four days ago and can tell you the headphones jack is not blocked...

    PSP or DS Help?

    It's worth owning both, CRH7386. I've seen the Japanese mint green PSP2000 for $129.99; that's also the standard price for a DS Lite. As we veer closer to the DSi's release, you're going to see better and better Lite deals. Truthfully, I tend to play the PSP more than the DS -- the stylus...

    What color PSP do you own?

    Nice, Over easy. I thought about picking up the CC SE. For those who don't care about homebrew (because this model won't allow it), videogamesnewyork was offering the Japanese mint green edition for $129.95 when I stopped by their store at 202 E 6th Street last week. I'd pick one up if I...

    PS3 BC Metal Gear Solid Bundle Returns to Sears

    Thanks for the sleuthing, Neo Queen Serenity and dragilores. I had things to do today and so added a tentative warning to my initial post before leaving. I'm glad I now have reason to remove it (and will do so immediately after posting here). I absolutely hate it when threads about a rare...

    Not true. I tried that and missed out: the discount vanished in my cart at the same moment the deal became unavailable to everyone else.
