LOL, I see no downside to your ingenious plan of getting me to get GCU by being insulting.

I don't buy that many new releases to warrant GCU. I'm the walking definition of a CAG: I usually buy them on sale, months or sometimes years after they've been released. Literally God of War, Batman, and Uncharted are the only titles I buy Day One. Everything else is sales on the PS Store or Steam.

Costco.com has the new God of War for $49.99. As usual, you need to be a member of Costco to be able to buy from them. Shipping and taxes aren't included in that. My final price came out to $55 and change (standard shipping was $2). FWIW, I rented the game on Saturday from Redbox. It lives up...

Hey, all: If you'll indulge me, I've got a question about that primitive piece of throwback tech known as the PS3. I recently purchased a Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Blue HD to replace the stock 160GB one in my slim PS3. The stock hard drive is the same type of WD, just smaller. I'm running...

At least by 1993 standards, LOL. According to this page, it's the TMSS version. Hopefully, that will bump up its value a bit. Thanks again for all the help.

The console is it's original box and the cartridges have all of their cases, so I've got that going for me. I will post some pictures and link to them here later this weekend. While it's not winning the lottery, sounds like this lot may be worth a little more than I thought. Thanks again for...

Hey, all: Helped my brother move and we found his old Sega Genesis, replete with about 10 or so games. I thought about putting it on Craigslist or Ebay for him, but it is it worth the effort? Is there an actual market for this stuff? This assumes it's all working, of course. Pretty sure it...

Actually, I wasn't there physically. The better half was on her lunch hour and works nearby. I saw them on sale at Sony's website for $20 a pop, and asked if she would check out the store. We just got really lucky with the $10 price. I was expecting them to be full price in the store. I would...

Hey, just scored at a good deal at the Sony Store in Center City Philadelphia. Move Navigation controllers are marked down to $9.99, plus tax. This beats the $19.99 on Sony's own website. YMMV, as always. I don't know how many they have left. If you're in the market for one of these, and...

I think that probably tells me what I need to know, especially since you can make the case that there's probably more 360 ACB players than PS3. I might pick up the game anyway. It's $15 used on Gamefly, or I can download it along with all the DLC of off PSN for $25 right now. I enjoyed AC2, so...

I was thinking of picking this up from the current Gamefly sale, more for the multiplayer than the story mode. Does anyone know if people still play the mulit on the PS3, or is it a ghost town like Bioshock 2? TIA for any help.

This is a really thought provoking question. It's been literally decades since I was in school; the internet was as much a sci-fi fantasy as a smartphone. I'm in "old man" mode here, but all we really had for research was a library. To be honest, you need to be more specific about the subject...

Same thing happened here. Our launch 60GB got its second R/YLOD last week and nearly pulled the trigger on a new one this weekend. Not exactly thrilled at the prospect of replacing the first one after less than 4 years, but the price cut is a welcome surprise. On the cheap ass side of things...

Thanks for the replies, gang. The people have spoken! If I need to get my zombie murder on, I've got both L4Ds to do that. Kind of a shame though. I really like Dead Space. I'm only about 20 minutes into DS2, but it plays well and looks like a Hollywood film. I actually wander around and look...

Hey, all: Managed to pickup a used copy of Dead Space 2 for PS3 through the GoHastings 40% off deal. However, I completely blanked on the whole EA need-a code-for-multiplayer situation. Since it's used, I need to cough up $10 to access multiplayer. I'm a big fan of Dead Space, but some of the...
