I think it's a little classless to mislist something and then ask the buyer if they want to proceed. Just explain your error, apologize and tell them you'll issue the refund in the next couple days. If for some reason they do want to still buy it they'll let you know.

Eh. I don't think there's really a perfect solution. Sure, your approach is fine and it is the easiest approach, but there's also the downside that it takes the decision out of the buyer's hands. If I were the buyer I'd rather the seller inform me so I can decide how to proceed.

Then say you can issue a refund within a couple days if the buyer so chooses, rather than you will issue it?

dang, pancakes is within spitting distance of me and Tyler on tt now. kid don't play!

He is definitely doing some work, but my definition of spitting distance must be different than yours. It takes a lot to make up 12k in any reasonable amount of time unless you still have Sound Shapes to go crazy with. Even with as much as I play, I usually get that much in about a month.

 
Other than Sound Shapes and Motorstorm RC, are there any big cross-pop trophy games? I've only been paying attention to trophies for the past year and never really had that on my radar enough to remember that kind of thing being talked about.

StarDrone Extreme (Vita) and StarDrone (PS3) come to mind, but they're not exactly "big".

ok who here has finished resident evil rev 2? does it get better? it feels like one of the slowest most plodding games I've ever played. it took me almost two hours to get through the first half of the second chapter this morning and I feel like it could've all be condensed down in to 30 minutes without losing anything. maybe that's true of every resident evil game and this is the first time I've noticed. I dunno. I'd really like to finish the story but it's an endurance match.

and why did they have to add in conditions like 'bleeding' and 'blinded' that can be cured by different (crafted) objects in your (limited) inventory space? so much unnecessary crap in this game.

The later chapters are definitely better. Right now you're basically doing the tutorial. Most of the chapters had a fair amount of action, so you don't really notice the length. I don't remember any of the sections taking me longer than an hour. Replays were happening in 20-30 minutes.

I thought the status effects were cool, added another layer to the battles. That being said, I kept one stack of the antidotes on my partner, and never used a single one.
 
Going through my BB purchase history. I think I'll have ~$15 in rewards after I finish up reviewing all the crap I've bought in the last couple years. Odd that they still let you review stuff BB doesn't even sell anymore. Maybe for the market listings?

I just remembered two more: MGS2 and MGS3. However, you have to be connected to PSN when you save your game for the first time on either system or the Transfarring process won't work and you won't be able to cross-pop the other list (like I stupidly did for MGS2).

Just made my first eBay listing error. :wall: Listed Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus with my phone and I accidentally chose the description for the Limited Edition version, which says that it comes with an OST and booklet. I included pictures with the listing of the front, back, and in the case with the game in it and those clearly don't say Limited Edition or show the extras, but the winner would certainly have a valid complaint if he was expecting those with the purchase.

I'm assuming all I need to do is shoot the guy a message over eBay and let him know of the problem so he can decide whether to go forward with the purchase or ask for a refund. Anything else I need to do to handle this properly?

I did that once on Amazon with the Six Feet Under complete series and listed it under the wrong one. I communicated with the guy and he didn't seem to care but I still went and bought the correct version, on sale fortunately at Best Buy so it wasn't that much of a hit, and sent that version to him.

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is another. Should have it from Plus.

 
EU sure does like their megapacks. Vita is getting a Lego Bundle with Batmant 3, Hobbit, and Movie and a weird bundle with Golden Abyss, LBP Vita, Tearaway, and When Vikings Attack (wtf?).

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/08/19/two-new-mega-packs-are-coming-to-ps-vita-later-this-year

I wonder if the BL2 bundles we still see everywhere over here are old or if they're just refusing to make new bundles for us for some reason. If the former it makes sense for them to not bother putting out new bundles if the old don't sell, but if the latter I'm not sure why they don't try pulling in new customers with new bundles. Putting out some kid-related stuff like these bundles both have probably isn't a bad idea.

 
I finished up the Borderlands 2 main story last night, gonna start chipping away At the DLC stuff next. Only have about 70 Shotgun kills, 100 Rocket kills, and then 2 co-op challenges to get that trophy as well. Jimbo/Kilik, I'll probably look for you guys sometime soon too to get Terra, etc.

Oh, nice. That one didn't even occur to me. I still need to play MGS3 and am really hoping I like it more than the first game. So for the save issue...doesn't it work to just delete all your saves and then start from scratch on the system you're trying to auto-pop?

I'm behind but plan to at least play through Sly 2 next month. I'll be sure to auto-pop these when I get this far into the series.

I think so, but if you earned trophies in any of those previous saves that you delete, those might not pop when you do the Transfarring later.
You'll only get the trophies specifically unlocked in that save file.

I can autopop MGS2 trophies? Hmm maybe I should boot up MGS2 on my Vita. Not like I have a platinum on it or anything but free trophies are free trophies.

There's a $335 factory sealed ps4 arkham knight bundle on awd at the moment (only one labeled as factory sealed)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00VETEZ16/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=merchant&ie=UTF8&qid=1439994912&sr=1-1&condition=used
Click to expand...
The "Item may come repackaged" clause immediately preceding that likely means it was "factory sealed" by AWD themselves. It still might be in mint/new condition in that AWD just opened the box to verify everything was included, but don't expect a dinger.

So we found a gigantic mutant spider in the backyard tonight. (S)he was of course in the middle of a web that defied logic floating in the middle of nowhere. I don't know what's actually 'big', but I'd say it's about 1.5-2" long. What should I do? Tyler?

Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Hey...that's my bit!

 
Hellstorm missile is a piece of shit. Also, it feels like every time I finish a match I probably have to leave and find a new lobby because when people quit, it isnt finding a replacement.
 
In non gaming news that you will all care about, Chelsea signed Pedro!

Damnit. My wife and kids were out when IA/VT Colorful was delivered (I mean, was attempted to be delivered). Looks like they require a signature. Argh! I guess I'll stop by Fedex tonight and pick it up that way.

This fallout shelter game is actually pretty damn cool. It's amazing that they've made the millions they have from selling the lunchbox packs when they're so easy to get in the game by completing objectives. A lot of these free-to-play games try to rope you into spending money by putting a brick wall in your path at some point that makes progressing normally slow down to a crawl or next to impossible, but I've never once felt like I needed to go that route. I think that's pretty cool of them and almost makes me want to spend a little cash just to support the model... of course, loving Fallout also helps.

They dry up though after the initial flood of lunch box goals.

My power armor guy made it to 36 hours in the wasteland before I had to turn him around as I was leaving for work and at the rate he used stims overnight he wouldn't have made it 9 hours. RNG seems to play the biggest factor in the quality of the loot as some of the poorest weapons I found (crappy 1 damage pistols) came at about the 28-30 hour mark. Built another medbay to increase stim storage so this time I sent him out with 25 stims, we'll see how long he lasts.

They made new "limited edition" bundles of Borderlands 2. The old ones had the memory card in a non-descript piece of plastic and had separate codes for the game and DLC. The new ones had the memory card in retail packaging (probably buy backs from stores) and only one code for the game and DLC that expires in March 2017.

 
Amazon UK is ending their book and game trade ins. Apparently it's barely used. I know a lot of you here use the U.S. trade in option, but I wonder how much use it actually gets from normal people.

Mailing stuff to trade in and get credit later isn't terribly convenient and doesn't give instant gratification, so I imagine that it is little used here in the US too.

 
I hope it sticks around. Being able to lock in TIVs is nice. I don't use it all that often because BB usually has the best values, but I still use it occasionally.

It seems like whenever I check on a used price on Amazon it's not much better than the new price. I'm so used to Amazon used prices being garbage that I don't check often enough to even see if it's 3rd party or Amazon selling it.

Speaking of Amazon, I just noticed there's now a cover image for Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Legend-Heroes-Trails-Steel-PlayStation/dp/B00Z9LUI9I

Interesting that it's $40 for PSV and PS3. Usually the Vita version has a low price. I wonder if we'll see that more commonly now with the increasing shift to PS4.

You do know that Man U had basically all but signed pedro before we swooped in and got him?

Shades of our signing for Willian. Except I think in that case Willian got his medical done on Tottenhams dime and we just used that medical instead of doing another one when he signed with Chelsea instead of them.

Now if Everton will quit mucking about with John Stones and let us buy the lad for a reasonable fee, we will finish up the transfer window pretty strongly.

I agree. Occasionally they offer more then BB or GS. I think on most if not all my trades there was an option to get paid now. I chose that option on I think all my trades and it worked out fine.

I wouldn't be upset if Amazon stopped but like that it is an option.
