The wholly appropriate use of "Children of the Grave" in the Brutal Legend demo sold me on the game. Outstanding from what little I've seen.

I also really enjoyed the short demos of Half Minute Hero for PSP. May pick that up when it's released as well.
 
I'd buy a PSPGo for $150-170. $250 is just pure rape, and Sony is well aware of that.

I'm looking forward to Brutual Legend too.
 
The PS3 slim is decidedly non-offensive in my room. Compared to the bulk of the ol 80gb monster.
 
I played the NFS demo and enjoyed it. I'm now tempted to buy the game, but I really don't need to buy many more games.

I played PQ, which I downloaded from the PS Store. The difference between playing the game on UMD and download is huge. It's SO nice not hearing the UMD drive load and the loading felt faster. Now I kind of regret buying MotorStorm: Artic Edge on UMD, but oh well. I think my UMD game buying will really wind down.
 
Wait, what the hell--?? The Undead Knights demo I downloaded last night was the full game???

I actually fell asleep while reading the story intro, so I honestly don't know what I got. >_<

I'll check it out when I get home.
 
I got a Fallout 3 Theme code for free for buying all of the F3 DLC packs. Weird!

$40 for any downloadable game, especially a portable one, is $20 too much.

WipeoutHD is $20.

Are you sure you didn't get the full product? Does PSN store points?

Naw, I specifically chose the "demo" version and I don't have any balance for my PSN account anyway. As reported by Gamespot (and mentioned here on the forums somewheres), it was an error by Sony when the game was put out on PSN yesterday.

They've since pulled it.

Sony error in your favor!
 
Oh wow, I do have the full version of Undead Knights. I was wondering why the demo was so large.

And why all the options were available.

And why there was no mention of "demo" when I installed the game.

Cool, thanks Sony! ^_^

Yeah, I saw the night before the demo on the Japanese PSN so I downloaded it... then I saw the US one and immediatly wondered why it was 4x larger, but deleted the JPN Demo and got the US...

I rode the metro today and turned the US one on to see if I'd like it... Was surprised it had game save. THen surprised it kept letting me going... then I still assumed it was a demo till I saw ur post in the other thread >_<

lol

awesome. I was going to buy it later since the game impressed me for a button mashfest.

I honestly am enjoying it more than any of the overlords.
 
Damnit. I wish I would have been able to get in on that Undead Knights for free. :cry:


One of you who got it should gameshare it with me if it's still the full version :D

Oh wow, MW2 Prestige 360 came back in stock @amazon. I went ahead and reordered with the new ECA code for 30% off. With all my other GCs/credit...WOW. :shock:

I love you, Amazon!

Bah, I missed out on that... guess I'll just get the Demo then.
 
So Dissidia is fun again, now that I picked Cloud. He's a lot more direct.

And me. The only PSP game I own so far is Dynasty Warriors. :lol:
 
I really can't see the appeal of the PSP Go at all, $250 to make all my UMD games and memory sticks obsolete.

Plus I can download games to my 2000 if I want to, which saves me having to carry 2 PSPs round. I just don't get it I guess.

It seems to be aimed at people who don't own one.
 
I really like this FFXIII advert, and just like the "boxart" from TGS, reminds me of some painting I can't put a name on.

Apparently the English TGS trailer will be out today, don't know where exacty.
 
Since I'm going to skip the PSP Go I think I'm going to finally pick up a larger memory stick for my PSP. Any suggestion as to where I should order one from?

Buy.com have had some good deals on 4gb and 8gb sticks in the past.

EDIT - http://www.buy.com/retail/usersearchresults.asp?querytype=home&qu=Pro-duo&qxt=home&display=col

I think $40 for an 8gb and $20 for a 4gb are about the prices you're looking at. Someone may know of cheaper.

I have 2 8gbs and a 4gb, and no I don't pirate PSP games. The 8gb sticks I use for movies and the 4gb I use for downloaded games and saves.

I don't pirate games, but I'd just like to have more memory for some d/l games and movies. Currently I have a 256mb(I think...) and a 2gig.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Enjoying Assassin's Creed. My only complaint is that its a stealth game with no stealth. :lol:[/QUOTE]

I enjoyed playing through Assassins Creed, the only problem I had with it was after I killed one of the targets it'd be like "Wow, now I have to do that whole process again, and it will be exactly the same thing just in a different place". It was a bit too linear i.e. listen to a conversation, pick a pocket, beat someone up, find some lost flags (???) etc etc.

I'd always have to take a break after finishing a mission, then come back after playing something else to do the next one.

And those fucking crazy beggars :bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb:
 
As weird as it may sound, after seeing the TGS FFXIII trailer, I want the game less now.

:lol:

it basically proved it had more of what I didnt want, but that's not a bad thing, just less my taste.

First FF game I'm looking forward to in a long time. I really hope it's good.

Been playing NG Sigma 2, and I like it better than the original. The only thing is playing as Momiji makes me wish they'd make a whole game with her...

Looking forward to just playing a bunch of games tonight. I'm not working over the weekend, and I think I'll hold off on grocery shopping until tomorrow. No dinner to cook tonight since I ate some KFC.

I'm probably going to buy a PSP Go as early as Sunday. The wait is killing me.

I'm also going to buy another $20 PSN Card tomorrow. I want to get PQ2 on sale, and maybe another PSP game or UNO.

I'm so tempted to get a Go. I just love gadgety things. My only UMD's that I really have any attachment to are Gitaroo Man and Phantasy Star. I could live without the rest.
 
I think I might have to buy a new 360 mic or send this controller back to Amazon. Because something didn't work right this afternoon. Argh.
 
[quote name='whoknows']I'm so tempted to get a Go. I just love gadgety things. My only UMD's that I really have any attachment to are Gitaroo Man and Phantasy Star. I could live without the rest.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I LOVE those two games also. I just plan to split up my games though. As for future purchases, some I may buy on UMD, but the majority will be downloads. Most older games (unless extremely cheap), I'll go download over UMD. I just plan to keep two PSP handhelds (well, three technically), but go different directions with them.

I played NG Sigma 2 today. I really like it (glad I bought it).

Enjoyed Brutal Legend demo, but will not buy it for a while (I'll do the same with NFS Shift).
 
I picked up a brand new and sealed copy of Star Wars: Rebel Assault 2 for Mac? $8 at HPB. I hope I can flip it for $40 or so on amazon.. I'm not sure though.

Also found the original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD - the 6 disc set - for $15! Woo!

I dream of someday going to a gaming convention and finding the people responsible for Assassin's Creed. I will constantly follow in front of them, repeating the same lines over and over and bumping into them.

You don't have to warn us about it sounding weird anymore, we expect it. It'll sound weird once you start agreeing with people.

amazon is fucking amazing!

i got my batman arkham aslyum today for 30% off with eca and when i open the package i find that wrap on the side of the game is slightly ripped and due to that the art on the side is ripped up as well

so i emailed amazon but because i was impatient and couldnt wait i called them too and told them the situation. so the csr was like ok we'll send u another copy right now free of charge with one day shipping. all i gotta do is return the game(therye payin for return shipping as well)

a few minutes ago i check my email and the online csr is like sorry about the trouble heres a $10 promo that u can use on ur next purchase :D
