like bioshock last week for example.. didnt arrive in stores til thurs........ not tues

but then again, it doesnt hurt to call or check the stores...

yea. I just went to best buy this morning. they didn't receive the shipment yet. I was told to check back tomorrow.

btw, anyone interested in buying this game, BB has $5 off coupons for video games with their flyers. $35 for Warhawk+bluetooth headset ftw!

yo G its gots the free shiz bro.

seriously though, the PS3 has no fees for online gaming/store like XBOX does. You will have to pay to download certain items but there is a fair bit of free content.

Guy_LikeWhoa 08-28-2007 04:21 PM

ya that's what i thought
it sounded too good to be true
but why the heck would you say that on an ad for??

Koflach 08-28-2007 05:56 PM

most likely that scam works like this. They say that you get free gaming system for free withthe purchase of a computer. the catch is that this offer is probably only good while supplies of gaming systems lasts. So, theoritically they could just tell you when you come in that they have run out of PS3's but they have a really nice $1200 computer for you to look at.

Future shop got in trouble a long time ago for using "bait and switch" tactics on advertised products at crazy prices but when you got to the store the items were sold out but more expensive alternatives were available.

Guy_LikeWhoa 08-28-2007 05:59 PM

^ that's simple. don't buy anything then lol. I thought that after you made your purchase they would try to scam you

Guy_LikeWhoa 08-29-2007 12:59 PM

is it just me or are the graphics in rainbow six vegas a little blurry? anyone else play this game yet?

jaguar604 08-29-2007 01:59 PM

If you get shot at the game blurs

dub.g 08-29-2007 05:19 PM

picked up warhawk at FS today for $36.99.. price matched best buy price plus subtract another 10% off


this game kicks ass..... its good online multiplayer, not great but good enough...... and for under $40, i cant really complain..

i know that, i'm talking about everything else. the game says it plays at 720p or 1080i, my monitor is set at 1080i, but the text and everything looks 480i. Not crisp and clear at all.

set it to 720p

dub.g 08-29-2007 10:12 PM

unless ur tv is like mine, u probably get downgraded to 480p if ur tv doesnt support 720p....... and only 1080i, ps3 doesnt have an upconverting system internally,

but u probably know that already..

neways can anyone help me with the blue tooth headset for warhawk? if anyone else has the game

i got the headset sinked with the ps3

but i cant seem to use it in the game, or i probably set it wrong or something

im not sure if ppl can hear me online and i can hear ppl through my home theatre speakers, and not through the headset which is probably an indication that im not using it right

also i cant seem to turn the thing off, holding it for 5 secs suppose to turn it off, but the light is still blinking......

yea but the game says it plays in 720p AND 1080i. My PS3 video output is set at 1080i with 720p as a the second choice. All the other games look flawless on my monitor.

anyways, I just picked up warhawk today, gonna try it out tonite, but you have to pair the headset with your PS3 first. If you have it set up properly, you just have to press L3 to talk to your teammates

dub.g 08-30-2007 08:18 PM

ya i finally got my headset working


i have to say, Warhawk is a great online game, except its a little week on on foot characters, also there is only like a number of guns........ all adds up to about 5 or 7 i think..


the actual plane dogfighting really makes up for it... its a really good game for what i paid for... $35,

just like the reviews at 1up.com, i would have hated this game if i paid the full price of $60 or $70....

also be prepared because controlling ur character, tanks and plane are slightly different with the button configurations, iv played the game a total of 4 hours and im still trying to get used to flying the damn warhawks...

Guy_LikeWhoa 09-01-2007 08:03 AM

can you customize the controls for the different vehicles? or do you have to learn ghey ass non-customizable controls?

dub.g 09-01-2007 07:51 PM

the only thing u can adjust in this game is the invert axis on wether u want ur analog stick to control like an actual plane or the regular push the analog button down to go down thingy


also the sensitivy in aiming.... which is a really big help.. and the sixaxis motion control for the vehicles

other than that u stuck with controls.....

u control the plane with boost being R2 and slowdown/brake L1, R1 is for ur gunners and L1 is for ur rockets....

the left analog stick controls ur path and ur aim and the right analog stick gives u the control to spin ur plane

im already a good total of 10 hours of playing this game and im still not used to flying around...

Mugen EvOlutioN 09-02-2007 07:12 AM

really i thought sony solved this down conversion problem with firmware 1.80

dub.g 09-02-2007 10:28 AM

i dont know whats the deal because the 1.80 firmware update upconverts all ps2 games to whatever ur tv resolution supports

so if they can do that with the ps2 games, its only a matter of time til sony gets a software running where all games can be displayed in 1080i............ gawd i need a new tv... 1080p would look sooo much better..
