$420 was the lowest I saw at Golden today... They are really fucking gouging the price aren't they? And there's not even a shortage or anything.

Smash Bros. Brawl was like $580 when it came out! And even now it's $550 at least.

Hyde 02-04-2008 07:41 AM

i was reading the magazine the suggested price for the 360 version is $388~ $420 ain't that bad compared to what i'm used to paying here ~

mugen the controller comes in black & white ~ i bought both :)

Mugen EvOlutioN 02-04-2008 11:08 PM

so anyone know when will DCM hit the shelf?

shit i thought its coming out tmr, feb 5

now i just checked FS/BB website it says the 7th...


anyone can confirm this??

stupid rogers video says feb 4th but no dice

dub.g 02-04-2008 11:38 PM

new released games never come out the date its supposed to be sold


the dates actually means when the game will be shipped out of the warehouse and into the stores


most stores like FS/BB will get their games on thurs or fri on a tuesday release

EB most likely get their games a day earlier than everyone else..

Mugen EvOlutioN 02-04-2008 11:47 PM

so EB usually gets a bit earlier than everyone else? guess i will give them a call tmr or sth

man, thats so true...even that HAZE game, i was gonna buy it at eb in Jan and then it got backed up till May...that sucks!!

SkinnyPupp 02-05-2008 01:57 AM

Deal for RS Members:

Dual Shock 3 for PS3 (Black)

$70 shipped


Pay by Paypal or direct bank deposit (can be done at any HSBC branch)

If paid by bank deposit, $2.71 discount (that's the Paypal fee)

This is only $3 more than what you'll pay when they finally show up in stores in 3 months. IF you buy them in the US. In Canada, they will probably be even more than $70 after tax.

If you want a white controller, add $2 (they cost more for some reason)

PM me if interested!

wouwou 02-05-2008 05:34 AM

i got a blu ray question...
since ps3 games are regions free, what about the blu ray dvds?
can i watch blu ray movies from canada on my taiwan bought ps3?

terkan 02-05-2008 08:13 AM

2/3 of blu-ray movies are region free. but you should check before you buy. you should be ok with a canadian blu-ray on a taiwan ps3 since they are under the same region code A

blu-ray region goes in A, B, and C not quite the same as DVD region coding

SkinnyPupp 02-05-2008 09:29 AM

I haven't seen a region-free movie yet, but Taiwan is in the same region as Canada anyway, so you're good.

joystiq has an article about DMC4's installation on the ps3 hd which clocks in at a 21 mins waiting period.......

that is insanely long but mentions that loading time will be virtually gone once installation is done.....

so prep up and watch a movie or something while u install the game..

Mugen EvOlutioN 02-05-2008 09:45 AM

damn not out yet today....coming out tmr DMC

:flamemad:

dub.g 02-05-2008 09:53 AM

lol be patient


i remember when MGS3 was about to come out and tuesday hit and i was driving around van for a good 1 and half stopping by at every FS i could find and calling all EB stores to see if they have the game yet...... and that was when i learn how the released/shipping works on release date games.......

ur always guaranteed to get ur game thurs afternoon if not on wed..


i would probably go through the same process when MGS4 comes out and hunt for the game on the week's release, despite knowing stores probably wont get it til later in the week:rofl:

Mugen EvOlutioN 02-05-2008 10:16 AM

lol and u are telling me to be patient?


haha

I just sold my xbox360 and I'm going to jump on the ps3 bandwagon!! So I hear that the PS3's cell processor has changed and that the PS3 will be physically shrinking in size. I'm not sure I should wait until the newer PS3s come out or to just bite the bullet and buy one now. There's no games I really want at the moment so I'm not in any rush. What do you guys think??

getting the PS3 for the BD is worth it imo.

That's what I did anyway.

As to a slim PS3, don't hold your breath. Although do keep an eye out for the 120G PS3 with Rumble rumored to be coming out in April, replacing 80G

M.J 02-12-2008 09:24 AM

Any word of a price drop or increase? I borrowed my bro in law's PS3 and I noticed I had to install games, unlike the 360. I was thinking about going for the 40gig since I have no need to play ps2 games. How many games can I install on the 40gig before it fills up?
