Targets are even farther from me than from myke.

Best time for MSP for me was the Dream Car Challenge. Free 5000 MSP points lasted me a long time.
 
I never even got an email about wanting to sign up for a chance to be in the beta. Clearly, Sony thinks I was in too many betas.

Strider HD and Strider 3?

It was great when they gave out an extra 50% of that total about six months later for no reason.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']You get invited to signup for it for those with us.playstation.com and/or GAP accounts.[/QUOTE]

I have a former GAP account and I didn't a beta invite.

I wanted to get in on the bro-ta

:whistle2:(
 
There haven't been any substantive changes to the SvR gameplay since 2007.

Just the new roster dudes and set designs. I'm not interested in it at all.

Was that when they limited it to 100 per gamertag tho?
 
[quote name='KingBroly']Strider HD and Strider 3?[/QUOTE]

Still a rumor: http://videogamerx.gamedonga.co.kr/zbxe/news_user_gamenews/1244017

Much of the below information is considered fake or inaccurate until confirmed:
It hasn't been confirmed yet (no scans so far), but that is what the vgx poster mentions in one of his replies. If this is true, then it seems that Strider is set to get the Bionic Commando treatment, an XBLA/PSN HD remake followed by a PS3/360 sequel. Here's the Famitsu stuff that the vgx poster mentions:

Scans: Tales of Vesperia (PS3) - Keroro Gunsou (Sgt. Frog) costume; Super Robot Wars NEO (Wii)
Review: Dream C Club (XB360) - 4,3,4,4 (15/40)

Strider HD (PSN/XBLA)
Strider 3 (PS3/360) - "Similar to Devil May Cry..." the user says.
Tekken 6 (PSP) - Tough to tell, but it seems that having the Tekken 6 save data will do something in the Soul Calibur PSP game.
LittleBigPlanet (PSP) - 11/1
Tenchu 5 (PSP/Wii) - 11/19
Sengoku Basara X (Wii) - 11/19
Sengoku Basara 3 (Wii) - 11/19

I never got a MAG email either. :shrug:

[quote name='sotc1988']What's the history behind this convention? I haven't paid any attention and it seems like a strange venue if Sony does indeed drop some big bombshells tomorrow.[/QUOTE]People have hyped it up way too much, I'll keep my expectations low and just hope for some interesting PSN features in the near future.

We'll see though.
It's not too strange a venue. That game convention is bigger than E3.

EDIT: Who am I kidding, there will be a price cut and new hardware announced tomorrow.

I don't get why Capcom would make a Devil May Cry like game unless they'd call it "Devil May Cry X" unless it was for a system without Devil May Cry.
 
It really is pretty crude. Hope they change the file system setup in PS4.

Hey, Persona 3 Portable announced. (PSP)
Female main character.

And cool, the new From Software game looks very interesting!

I like the new XBL indie game from the guy that made The Dishwasher, which is called "I Made A Game With Zombies!!!!" but is really spelled in leet speak. It's a dual-stick shooter where you shoot zombies and other enemies with a number of different weapons. It's only 80 points, so it's nicely-priced.
 
It's a weird announcement, but sounds like it has more content.
Should be a lot more details soon. I knew it'd pique your interest. :)

As dallow was implying, VGX updated their Famitsu post. There's no longer any Strider mentions, and there isn't anything about Strider in the scan of the Index, so it seems that, like GAF said, it (Along with much of the other info I posted above) was all just a big 2ch joke.

I see. I don't get why people want a new Strider anyway. People wanted a new Bionic Commando game, and look how that turned out.
 
I've been downloading the MAG beta for 4 hours now and I'm only at 64% done, with 1.33GBs downloaded.

There's a reason they don't charge $50 a year for PSN. :whistle2:|

Oh, by the way, I have a 6mb down connection.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I still wish XBL, since it's paid, would totally remove ads.[/QUOTE]
That's like wishing for cable TV to be ad free. fucking pipe dream.
 
Poor Sony. A new PS3 with a relatively soon release date is a pretty big bombshell of an announcement, and it's been spoiled for months. Same thing happened with PSPGo. They just can't win.

But seriously.. a slimmer PS3 with Blu Ray functionality and 120gb HD vs. Microsoft's Elite, also with a 120gb hd.. both for $299. It's going to be a good fight.

And what the hell is with MS not including HD cords in the new elites? It only has SD cords.. no component av cables, no hdmi cable.
 
P3P, nice. I'll wait before I wet my drawers, just in case there's bonus content. I might be wrong, and there might be a bigger mess this way, but somehow it's justified.
 
Yeah, the PS3 slim vs. Xbox 360 Elite is a pretty good fight, but I'd lean towards the PS3 for now simply because of the games that it has coming in the near future.
 
Wait a minute...

Saint's Row 2 in Games on Demand is fucking $30?

A game that RETAILS for $20 is $30 On Demand...

A game whose superior sequel retails for $30 is $30 On Demand...

:dunce:
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Obviously new to this conversation, but why are the Games on Demand priced in $ amounts and not MSP amounts?[/QUOTE]

Not sure, my guess would be they want people to be able to buy games whenever they want and they're worried a lack of space bucks might stop someone buying one of their outrageously over-priced offerings

So they've made it real money so people can pay with a CC.

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']100 what? I just remember getting 50 point codes out of nowhere for each email I used and having a nice new batch of points for games that interested me.[/QUOTE]

Maybe that wasn't it then, there was some promotion giving away free points that gave them away free, but after it was abused they made it so you could only redeem 100 MSP per gamertag, I remember because I have a few Rock Band 80 point songs tied to random gamertags.

PERSONA 3 PORTABLE GET
 
Mm, I don't think they could get me to buy P3 a 3rd time, and spend a 3rd 100 hours on it. Put Persona 2 or 5 on PSP, and then we'll talk.

Yea, man what the heck? Sony really friggen sucks about keeping secrets. I've talked with a few of the guys from Sony and they all really like saying things and it is super easy to get them to speak. Haha.
