    Opinions on Sony's jobless exclusion

    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...

    PS3 system mover bundle

    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?

    How long before YLOD?

    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.

    How long before YLOD?

    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...

    How long before YLOD?

    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...

    Do New Forza 3 games come with DL code?

    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.

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Have the Japanese game makers lost their touch?

    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...

    Is AC1 (Assassin's Creed Uno) worth $15?

    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...

    Is AC1 (Assassin's Creed Uno) worth $15?

    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...

    360 HDD failures?

    Hey 360 CAGers, I can't seem to find much info on the rate of hard drives failing on the 360. I'm weighing whether to buy a new overpriced M$ 250gb (for the warranty) or a used drive. Will installing often on the HDD make it die faster is my question. Please post any personal accounts if your...

    Xbox 360 250 GB Hard Drive $129.99 Amazon FSS UPDATED: Gamestop $97 with coupon 4/2

    This is an outrage. M$ should be rewarding their loyal customers and make it cheaper than $99. I understand this is aligned with their online distribution model w/o physical media (i.e. blu-ray).. but forcing their install base to pay extra $$ on top of those who previously bought 60gb/120gb...

    ME2 or FF13? vote if you've played both

    Thanks to all who replied quick. I forgot to mention in my original post that I've played both ME1 & FFX/FFXII and loved both. I just wanted to save some money. Can't afford to spend $120 on both. But you guys just made my day as ME2 is on sale this Sunday @ BB. So, kudos to saving me $...

    ME2 or FF13? vote if you've played both

    Hey CAGers, Please let me know your thoughts on both games. Which is better overall? I only want to buy one and rent the other. I want to know which game is a keeper and have better replayability/story/gaming experience, etc.. Thx.

    Mass Effect 2 Discussion - Fight for the Lost

    Anyone know if Bioware has confirmed that ME3 will be released soon w/o need for Natal support or XBOX 720ish? I would hate it if it's broken up like Halo 1-2 on Xbox then the 3rd (finish the fight) on 360, u know? I pray that Bioware won't require ME fans to buy extra accessories like Natal to...
