    The Home Arcade Tremendous Deals and Discussion Thread

    I think that you'll be in good shape. Sounds like you have one of the newer ones, since the deck protector is included. Enjoy it for me!

    The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Wii U Limited Edition Bundle - Pre-Order

    Best Buy did, if you were Reward Zone Silver status. I see that it has since dropped to 45 days for the "elite plus" level.

    The Official PlayStation Vita Thread - 11/4: FW 3.00 Coming Just in Time for the PS4 Launch!

    Sure, but creating a high-quality PS2 emulator is no quick and easy task. That would also put them on the hook for adding more PS2 games to the PSN Store. It would be great, but I can't fault them for thinking that it's not worth the cost. Remote Play appears to be already on the Vita (there's...

    The Official PlayStation Vita Thread - 11/4: FW 3.00 Coming Just in Time for the PS4 Launch!

    I don't see how this is unreasonable. The Vita is already emulating the PSP, which means ongoing development costs to create, patch, and improve that functionality. Wouldn't adding PS2 compatibility require a new emulator to be created? This seems more like logical management of costs than...

    The Official PlayStation Vita Thread - 11/4: FW 3.00 Coming Just in Time for the PS4 Launch!

    ...unless they revert the game to factory defaults. Seems like a reasonable system to me.

    The Official PlayStation Vita Thread - 11/4: FW 3.00 Coming Just in Time for the PS4 Launch!

    That Wipeout info is unclear. Does this mean the Wipeout HD and Fury are coming to the Vita in their entirety? Will they be separate from the Wipeout 2048? Does this apply to retail purchases as well as digital? They could use some clarification. :-s

    The Steam Deal Thread V2 - Dig into those holiday games. V3 thread coming soon!

    Hey! Sprouts are tasty. Though I do agree with your opinion on Limbo.

    Sonic cd on IOS/android $1.99 sale!

    Cool - that actually sounds like something I might like to try myself. I can certainly see it working for a tablet, since it's already a fairly large device. What I don't understand is the logic of using a controller with your phone. That idea still seems a bit silly to me.

    Sonic cd on IOS/android $1.99 sale!

    I'm going to preface this with saying that it's awesome that this came to iOS and Andoid devices. That being said, could someone please explain why anyone would choose to carry around a USB controller instead of DS/PSP/3DS/Vita? Games on smartphones can be great, but the idea of lugging around...

    BB-Still on FIRE! 3-day sale: Kinect Games $24.99 (Kinect Sports 2, DC 2) & more

    Awesome. Both Dance Central games for the price of one sounds like a plan to me. Well done, Best Buy.

    Metroid Other M for $4.99 Shipped at Best Buy

    Exactly what I was thinking. This game got a lot more crap than it deserved. I actually enjoyed some aspects of it quite a bit, and it's a worthwhile play for fans of the franchise.

    Mass Effect 3 Hard cover strategy guide ($26.12)

    That guide may have been bad, but my experience with Prima guides is that finding anything competent from them is near impossible. It's great to hear that the company seems to have one good author, but after so many guides filled with lazy writing and misinformation, and even advertising extra...

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    Sure - it was pretty nice news for me. It's awfully nice that some great options are coming out to challenge the iPad. No one wants complacent tech.

    I posted a response to you earlier regarding Netflix on the Fire, including a link from IGN regarding Amazon's press announcement. Here's the link again, in case you're interested. http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/11/09/netflix-game-devs-to-support-kindle-fire

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    Why bother with Amazon's video services when you can just use Netflix? The video aspect is a very small reason for purchasing a Prime membership. I've had Prime for a while, and I use Netflix exclusively for my VOD content.

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    The fact that, provided with a wireless connection, you literally don't need any locally-stored content at all to use the device to its fullest capability is a pretty big deal. Assuming it all functions properly and speedily, this has the potential to be a prime example of successful merging of...

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    No doubt - 6GB is pretty dismal. However, I don't plan on using it much for music, and, when I do, I will typically be able to stream my songs from Amazon. I have a 3DS, PSP, and soon a Vita for portable gaming, so I don't plan on purchasing much in the way of games for the Fire. Truth be told...

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    I don't think the Fire will be lacking for apps. Netflix will be on it, as well. :D Honestly, I'm a whole lot more confident in Amazon's ability to fill out their app store than B&N. If you need on that extra memory, though, there's not the Fire can do for you. For those who haven't seen...

    Kindle Fire 7" Tablet Now Shipping $199 - New Kindles From $79 - Reviews are out

    Having used the iPad for a few months, I can say that it's definitely larger than I'd prefer. I love the thing to death, but the advantages of the Fire, both in size and services, are leading me to pick one up for myself, and hand the iPad off to mom. Personally, the iPad seemed too big to bring...
