    Kroger Game Deals (Really)

    There was a Kroger where i grew up (West by gosh Virginia!), but we all shopped at the Giant Eagle. The Giant Eagle was actually at the top of a mountain as well, like a nest....kinda ironic...but near everything was near the top of a mountain in West Virginia...I had to go uphill 5 miles to go...

    Real Triggers (concave) for PS3

    I wanted to mention that i got at EB games a new item. They are clip ons to the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons for the PS3, making them concave, rather than just slope downward. They are only 5 bucks, match the existing plastic exactly, and work great. Below is the URL for more info...

    Real Triggers for PS3 This should probably go into a new thread, but i am unsure how to start one. I wanted to mention that i got at EB games a new item.

    Connect PS3 to PSN without current firmware?

    Another happy 60gb user. Never had trouble with firmware. Enjoying the full hardware based backward compatibility. (SSX anyone?) Using a proxy to avoid updating firmware...wow! fyi, the used PS3 consoles that have backward compatibility are being sold for more than the new ps3 consoles at...

    PS3 Price Increase Revealed

    It is too bad it is a april fools joke. Many people really do want backward compatiblity. (got my BC ps3 4 months before buying a game for it, to get a BC model.) At gamestop, the used BC models cost more the new ps3 models. Sony just doesn't get it. (i.e. i still don't get many ps3 games now...

    Ratchet and Clank Size Matters PSP 14.99!

    I actually got hot shots golf open tee for 14.99 at best buy this weekend, as well. It went well with the silver daxter psp bundle that they had discounted to 169.99. Do not know why they discounted it, but it is a new one. (i posted the psp deal at unversal price drops, as i did not know where...

    Sony PS3 60GB system $649 @ GameExpress.com (New/Used???)

    I never had a problem with my 60gb either. It plays all ps2&ps1 games better than the original consoles. (60 fps). I haven't gotten gta4, which is the first game i have heard of that has such issues with the 60gb (and 20gb). Sony never should have discontinued hardware backward compatibility. I...

    Blazing Angel 2 secret weapon of WWII, buy.com 19.99, with GCO 9.99, free shiping

    Thanks for the clarification. I was psyched till i found out it was only xbox. You saved me looking on buy.com fyi, the original blazing angels for ps3 is only 19.99 at EBgames (at least at my local one), but it is the original, with no rumble support. (I'd wait till the 2nd version lowers to...

    Most Disappointing game you thought would be incredibly fun?

    Me as well. I just didn't get the game, as after reading about the issues, and having a 60gb ps3, i didn't want to risk buying it. so....I offer Road Rash 3d for the ps1 as my nomination for most disappointing game. (yea, i harbor grudges.) the genesis games, and the first game for the ps1...

    Most Disappointing game you thought would be incredibly fun?

    And i was also thinking the same thing, but since i didn't get the game (i have a 60gb ps3), i didn't think it would be okay to post. So.....I was disappointed with Road Rash 3d, for ps1. (Yea, i really harbor grudges.)

    Contest (CAGcast #117) Win Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)!

    I would rather have the ps3 than xbox version as i would like to play GTA4 on the PS4, eventually. Specifically, microsoft clearly does not believe in backward compatilibity, while the ps3 plays even the original gta games for the ps1 upscaled and at 60FPS, without a hint of slowdown. the...

    Critics=mah, You=RAH! 'Mediocre' games discussed

    Flatout 2 for ps2 is pretty good, but is incompatible with currently shipping ps3. it works great on older ps3 (with hardware chip for bc), and is mistaken for a next gen title sometimes.

    Free EGM mag for US residents

    Yep, i agree. I also have been getting their magazine through this offer since last year, and was wondering how they afford it. (I never expected it to actually work.) Maybe they justify it as a vehicle to get ads to gamers who have income to buy games, like newspapers are trying to do. Or...

    CAGcast #115 Shovelware: A Wii Problem

    Absolutely fantastic. I am not able to hear all the podcasts (not even close, actually), as i only listen to classical music at work (any linguistics distracts me), and i am reading on the bus. (Lots of FREE stuff at your local library, fellow CAGs) I really liked hearing your and wombats...

    EB Games is Killing the Video Game Industry

    This is also the main reason i do not like digital distribution. It is good for games smaller than 250mb, but bigger than that, and i don't like it. (i have well over 200 ps2 dvd game based games, and do not want to buy a hd for all that data. Also, as Wombat mentioned in a pod cast, one...

    User DrunkPollock Warning - Do not trade/Halt

    I haven't read this entire thread, so i apologize if this point has already been brought up and addressed. However, it seems like the Inspector General of the Post Office would also be an avenue to explore. I believe using the us mail system to perpetrate fraud is illegal, and the Inspector...

    God of War 2 (used) $24.99 at GS

    Wow. Great Thread. Another Greatest hits with added content was Midnight Club, which shipped with Tokyo as an added city on the greatest hits. However, GrandTheftAuto San Andrea's shipped a collector's edition with an extra disk (after the hot coffee scandal), but didn't include any extra's in...

    Is anyone importing a Dual Shock 3?

    I just got one from play-asia. It is awesome. fully compatible with ps1/2/3 games, charge lasts just as long as sixaxis, and the vibration is very powerful. (i tried other wireless controllers, and they vibration was too light.) It is so worth the extra 20 bucks, if only to have one now, avoid...

    Pelican PS2/PS3 Adapter Review and Support Group

    I don't own a guitar hero game, so i am not sure. (for some reason, those games appeal to me like Kariyoke, i.e., not at all.) I really am not sure. I did get a dualshock 3 from play-asia, and now i have full vibration with all ps1/2/3 games. it is awesome. Well worth the 65.00.

    PS2 games on PS3 any graphical changes?

    I have been playing all ps1 and ps2 games on my 60 gb ps3, as the ps3 games were too expensive. They worked great. (why did sony take away hardware backward compatibility.) I got my dualshock 3 over the weekend, from play-asia. Full vibration for all ps1/ps2/ps3 games (and ps3 demos). I am...
