Hey CAGers, I found this online that caught my attention about Sony's hiring condition. Check out the article http://www.gamestooge.com/2010/06/02/sony-we-dont-want-the-unemployed/ I really think this puts them in a very bad light. I'm thinking, so they only want people who are still...

If Sony were to bundle (other then MLB one), would it entice you to purchase from them? For me, it'd be sweet if they offered a GT5 bundle. Any other opinions?

Good to hear. And thanks all for all the feed back. So far, the poll seems to indicate a very tiny failure rate. I still have my PS2 (the bulky one) and it's still kicking. I'm hoping the same for the PS3. At least give me 3-4 years of gaming for that price.

I have the same concern. I'm hearing more and more PS3 failure stories. I'm just trying to get an idea of the reality of these machines and whether getting extra warranty is worth the hassle. As for marathon gaming, how many hours are we talking about here? And is it everyday usage? It...

Hi All, I read somewhere in Europe there was an outcry that most PS3 died a few months outside their 1-year warranty. This was a while back before the introduction of the slims. Just wondering how everyone's experience has been and whether extended warranty is worth it or not. Please post...

Thx, Ziv. If anyone else can confirm, that'd be great.

Anyone recently purchased a new Forza 3 or the Forza/ODST combo know if it comes with a one-time use code for downloading the vintage car pack, extra tracks, and exotic cars? Or was that only part of the pre-orders? Thanks.

One, I am definitely not bashing SE. I have the highest respect for them and expected more of them as a result. FF is their flagship that they want global awareness for. I just think their design decision was wrong cuz it makes it difficult for new fans to experience the game in its entirety...

Yes, we agree not every game is for everyone. However, this is a FF game marketed globally to families and teens with all the pretty art direction. As long time fans of the FF series, this had a WTF design that diverged so far from their core hallmark. We like challenges and when bosses are...

Sorry about the confusion. Just using FF13 as example as it was the last game played. Games should be fun, first and foremost. SE's game design and rails direction seems to be to branch out to more gamers. Which is fine.. but the difficult REQUIRED choke points is not fun. So I took over...

Wow.. Thanks for all the replies. My girl is a bit happier to see it's just not her seeing this. See, all of this came about cuz FF13 nearly brought her to tears. She nearly broke the controller as she was very upset not able to pass the 2nd or 3rd gestalt encounters for more than 10+ times...

Panzerfaust, Salamando3000, You both made good points. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt about culture and such. So you're right, maybe ME's localization (translations) may lose some of the original source intent. However, cultural differences doesn't explain why Capcom didn't...

Hi folks, I just wanted to ask a quick informal observation regarding Japanese games for this gen. So my girl made a very interesting observation about my game collection for the 360. She said I didn't have any Japanese games for my 360. For my PS2, I have all the DMC 1-3, FFX, FFXII, Ace...

Folks, Sorry I haven't checked in a while. Midterm week plus.. Amazon raised the price. Also, sorry about the misleading title. I was just trying to be creative. Guess that back fired. I also would second an AC themed UNO game. Maybe Uno should license it from Ubi. I guess I'll decide...

Hi all, I have AC2 and love it. Now I see Amazon has AC1 for $15. I'm tempted to buy it, but.... Is going back to AC1 after AC2 a bad idea? I mean, AC2 is great, right, so am I wasting $15 toward a backward tech-wise game? Or is $15 better served going AC:Brotherhood? Please comment if...
