Popped in Ratchet and Clank FTOD last night and had a blast playing it again. Got me all pumped up for the sequel. Is Q4B worth it? I don't think I'd pay $15 but maybe if I could find someone to gameshare with it could be fun...[/QUOTE]


I wouldn't mind joining your Booty share group.

Interesting. I wonder if this can be the start of a trend.

The Director's Cut BD of Watchmen will have both of those downloadable Watchmen games on the disc playable on PS3.
So you get the games for free basically.


Watchmen: The End is Nigh The Complete Experience is an innovative, retail Blu-ray Hi-Def game and film hybrid which will include Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2 and the Watchmen: Director’s Cut on Blu-ray. This new cut of the action-packed blockbuster includes an additional 25 minutes of footage not seen in theaters only available on Blu-ray and DVD. The two-disc collectible set will also feature exclusive artwork in a premium package. The game will be playable on the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system which can also play the Blu-ray disc of Watchmen: Director’s Cut.

Looks like I'll be buying The Director's Cut Blu-Ray unless its priced more than's reasonable (which I almost expect).
 
I may also pick up the director's cut BD if it isn't priced real crazy. I played the demo for the Watchmen game, and while it wasn't anything I usually would spend more than $5 on, bundle it with the director's cut blu-ray and I'm more apt to go for it.

Hopefully if it sells well, other companies could go this route too. A bit more incentive to buy blu-ray instead of DVD. That is, of course, if the price isn't ludacris.

I played a bit more Bioshock today. Gonna try to put a little more time into Metal Gear Solid 2 before work tonight. I guess I'm about halfway thru it.
 
Yeah, I'd pick up the blu-ray def if it had the games. I'm always down for beat-em-ups anyway even if they are brain dead.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite demo today on PSN... just a small heads up for those unsure or never played the game (here's hoping it represents the game properly since it demands so many hours).
 
anyone remember Huxley?

I still have hopes for something to be good.

Ah, I do remember Huxley. Hasn't it been a while since it was announced, though? I honestly completely forgot about it until you just mentioned it.

QFB, sadly, was garbage. Glad I only GS with DP and his group... otherwise, I'd have been pissed.

InFAMOUS seems cool... not sure I'll pick it up at launch though. I will play it. I'm sure though. I'll just wait for used+30% off.
 
Just got back from gamestop with my full reserve ready and my weapon code in hand for Infamous. Probably wouldn't have bothered but I had some trade credit I've been sitting on for awhile. Wonder if I should try and sell it on ebay. People seem to go pretty crazy over these.
 
I think it will be unique because I need to scratch it off to even see it. The demo codes were also unique and Sony has been on top of that so far so I doubt they'd stop now.
 
ebay it. you'll probably net enough to make your infamous purchase worth even more while. just be sure to ebay it the day when it seems no one can get the pre-order bonus anymore.

also, Metal Gear Existence is a perfect name for the the game that Kojima is genna announce.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']heads up peeps:

good time to pick up CoD4 (360), Yakuza, Soul Calibur IV (360), Halo 3, and other good stuff for dirt cheap.

only downside is that there's no manual or case.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225086

I might pick up CoD4 finally since I never bought it, Yakuza since I need to play it, and Halo 3 so I can finally play a game with my cousin.[/QUOTE]
I love this thread, but not because of the deal. Man, some people are so strange.
 
something in Home I'd actually buy...

http://www.siliconera.com/2009/05/21/mizuguchi-wants-to-style-your-playstation-home-avatar/

was genna get the Dan outfits, but $5 for a full set? fuck that. I'd rather buy a shitty PSN game than that.


also, finally a Wii game I want to play (last one being MadWorld):

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/1224062_1407.html

it's called Order, and basically you can be a king, kinda like My Life as the King, except you can have full control on how you treat your power. You can be a normal king or a total dick and basically house enemies into your land and make treatys with enemies to fuck with all the heroes who come into town... oh and you can also capture heroes and fuck with them.


Good:

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']yeah, it's been in dev for prob too long. I do hope it lives up to what it always was shooting for, which is basically a viable FPS MMO.[/QUOTE]
That'd be amazing. I played PlanetSide for a while with my CS buddies until the server got really populated and the battles got too big for the servers to handle. I think there was something in the coding of the game that adjusted to accomodate players with the lowest ping which always meant everyone played at a 56k level because at least one moron didn't understand dial-up and MMOs go like oil and water.
 
Just got done with the inFamous demo. I'm not a huge fan of the way the main character's jumps are so floaty, but the demo is solid. Makes me hope that the full game is even better.
 
Heavy Rain is looking pretty good. QTEs aside, I'd be interested to play/watch how the story unfolds. The reporter's story with the
dance club scene
and...er...whatever happens...after? Looks...er....interesting...ahem.
 
Man, playing the Monster Hunter Freedom Unite demo makes me want to go back and play MHF2 right now... >_< the helping cats (aka felines) add alot to what the game was missing.
 
HELP ME OUT GUYS :) (A lowball preview+help needed)
Hey guys,

So I've been thinking of doing a lowball sale for a while now. I was recently scanning through some Canadian TIVS for DS Games and I found about 8 games worth trading in, and around 12 or 13 for the lowball.

The TIVs are (all from EB Games unless noted):
New Super Mario Bros. $25
Guitar Hero: On Tour $16
Super Mario 64 DS $25.20 (Futureshop)
Professor Layton $11
Magical Starsign $12!!!!
Mario Kart DS $25
Advance Wars Days of Ruin $9
Elite Beat Agents $9 (EBA, AW AND LAYTON would cover a full Infamous pre-order)

Question: Should I trade those in or could I get more via lowball?

As for PSP games, how do you think these would fare in a lowball? Do you think I should put them on eBay instead?
Here's the list for the lowball sale that would likely start today:
-WORK TIME FUN (Sealed)
-Darkstalkers: The Chaos Tower
-Death Jr.
-GOW: Chains of Olympus
-Jeanne D'Arc
-Syphon Filter Dark Mirror (GH Version-Sealed)
-Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow
-Lumines II
-Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus (Sealed)
-Patapon
-Street Fighter Alpha 3: Max

The DS Games would be:
-Big Brain Academy
-Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
-Eyeshield 21: Max Devil Power (IMPORT-not sure what to do with this one)
-Gunpey DS
-Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
-Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
-Cooking Mama
-Metroid Prime Pinball
-Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
-Spectrobes
-True Swing Golf

Mark my words, Heavy Rain is going to ROCK! Indigo Prophecy was a really unique game, and one my favorite little gems of last generation. By the time HR actually comes out, I might be in a position to get a PS3. :cool:
 
Azumangaman.
Remember there's a bonus $10 for every 3 DS/PSP games you trade in. (so long as their worth more than a dollar each)
Hmm, you're in Canada though...

I'll give you $10 for NSMB. :cool:

I wish.
Yeah that deal isn't up here.
Deal on NSMB! The shipping will be about $5, but don't worry I'll pay for it :)
AAhahahahahahaha.
 
I'd rather trade everything into Gamestop and not go through the hassle of a lowball and shipping and paypal costs. Plus there isn't tax on things you buy from Gamestop with store credit.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']I know right?
Thats why EB Canada isn't that horrendous.[/QUOTE]Man, I love GS/EB. I know the DM for my area and he just gives me the used price of credit on trade ins. I never feel ripped off. :]
 
The last boss in Scurge:Hive is really starting to piss me off. I've died on him like 3 times now. I'm going to put the game aside for a day or so and come back to it and hopefully then I'll be able to beat him (worked for me before in other games).

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this game. Which part of the boss are you having a hard time with, first or second? Took me a couple tries, but once you get the pattern down and switch up the weapons quickly enough, it gets to be a smooth ride.

I also was diggin' the end music \\:D/
