the trade in value for infamous is still $40
buy a million copies at $30, sell at $40, make $10m

see getting rich is ez

lol.. well technically it's store credit and i believe there is a limit on how many you can trade in per day

and yes i know it was a joke haha

ya everywhere was sold out yesterday


i picked up on the first day



HMV had it for $69.99 no price match


the game is not bad


But is it just me?

it seems more like GTA + spiderman style. where u roam around the map, kinda doing same shit over and over again. NO?

im on mission 22 or 23 either one, did a lot of side quest.

How many missions are in total? anyone know? playing the good guy

Now i was thinking if i were to play the bad guy, isnt it the same shit just playing bad guy now? same moves etc etc.

not bad for $30 bux

Hey guys, I'll be getting BlazBlue soon, but I'm also considering getting an arcade stick to go with it. Any good suggestion for under $150~? I've heard good things about Hori's sticks (Fighting Stick 3 and Arcade Pro 3).

infamous feels like assassin's creed with a GTAIV backdrop..and that's not a good thing (hopefully things will get more exciting..and hoping evil doesnt equate same missions as hero)
graphics is kinda disappointing even though it is sandbox.

u can try looking into the madcatz sf4 tournament edition stick. i saw it for around $150 at NCIX.

Yup.

Pros: Better aiming precision

Cons: Not wireless, cheaply made, no sensitivity adjustment.

All in all....
Still alot better then the controller, but not as good as PC mice.

wow I just got the fragFX v2 and it's weird. I think I'm going to return it. It feels so awkward but it is more precise. There is a sensitivity adjuster but it does feel cheap and just doesn't feel right.

Oshin
07-10-2009, 01:37 AM
yea the madcatz tournament stick are one of the best stick in the market besides the custom made ones. You got the sanwa joysticks and buttons + the build quality is real good. Perfect weight / size / button layout. The stick feels just like the ones in arcade cabinets. I recently just picked it up from a fellow revscene member, luckily I didn't have to pay the rape price on ebay. They aren't that rare in the states as you can order from madcatz online..but they only ship within the US, so that makes people in Canada hard to get our hands on these besides some retail stores like eb games / ncix.

P.S: has anyone played battlefield 1943?? Been playing it for a few hours today, is just like the PC version BF1942 but with better graphic and less class =(.. I miss the medic. Overall I like it.. for 15bucks is worth it.

Specifically for Sanwa JLF, which uses an half-inch wide spring. (Neither Home Depot nor Rona carries springs of that size)

Just game shared BF1943 the other day. And since i've been playing on my 32 inch CRT I cant even see the friggen words/players since they designed the game for an HDTV and holy jesus at the bugs with the mics. Its on and off in terms of when it wants to work and when it doesn't. Reminiscent of BF BC days.

I highly suggest MLB The Show 09. The RTTS (Road to the Show) mode is awesome, and this coming from a non baseball fan. Being able to set batting music and homerun music is pretty sweet too. You can use custom playlists and pick any part of the song as music for your homerun or walk to the plate. You can even record in custom chants with the mic and the game will implement them into the crowd. You can make specific ones and tie to them players as well.

The mode I play (RTTS), you're not playing a full game of baseball (who has time for that). you're basically taking all your at bats in the game. When you're fielding, you only see the plays that you're involved in. Example, I'm a 1st baseman so I'm in plays quite the bit (throws from 2nd, SS etc). You can be any position you want. If you're an outfielder a game will take you a bit less time to complete. On average a game is about 15 to 20 minutes, sometimes less

My first year I started spring training for the Mariners, got sent to AAA (West Tennesee Diamond Jaxx) and finished a whole year there, starting this season in AA now (Tacoma Rainers). If you're looking for a different game to play that actually is pretty intense, pick this game up. The graphics and gameplay are top notch

You collect points during the game that go towards career advancement. For example, a double will gain you 10 points, a single 5 points. Homerun 30 points, RBI's 10 points and so on. You get points for hitting streaks, game changing scenario's and so on. You lose points for a strikeout, example 10 points. 2 strikeouts you lose more and so on. At the end of the game you get a summary of your stats and your final point totals. From there you're able to advance your stats such as Hitting vs RHP and LHP, fielding ability, power, and so on. The game is done really well.

There's advancement challenges as well. It gives you a challenge such as "In the next 2 weeks, get on base X amount of times, hit a certain percentage and improve your power and contact against RHP. The more challenges you complete, the quicker the call up to AA or the majors.

A buddy and I here at work were just talking about how sony could boost sales of the ps3. They should make a ps3 with no blu ray or wifi/internet hook up. Pretty much a bare bone system and make a wifi adaptor and shit for it and sell it for $99. I bet tons of people would buy it. Most of the consumer thats buy systems for their kids dont know shit so if they see a $99 price tag they would jump on it. Also a network for paid subscribers and non paying. I hate it when I play a game and the fool d/c because they're getting killed. I know I would pay $5 a month to get someone who actually would play and possible not d/c. I know that wouldnt solve the d/c problem but I think you would see "higher quality" type players because they are paying. Just my 2 cents.

underscore
08-14-2009, 08:33 AM
^ that whole thing would fail for several reasons

1) the games are on blu ray. so how do you run games with no blu ray drive? I know, lets just sit in front of the TV and imagine that we're playing games.

2) the wifi portion of the system's cheap as hell, wouldn't make a difference. It would probably cost them more to redesign the circuitboard and change the factory than to just leave it in.

3) paid online would be stupid, you can't stop people from disconnecting and you'll get the exact same jackasses online if you have to pay. One of the PS3's draws is the free online play and by adding a fee all you're doing is losing the draw, and not solving anything because it's beyond the control of Sony.

Opinion on this game is pretty split right now. Some hate it and some love it as there seems to be no middle ground. Personally I say download the demo and see for yourself. Personally, I'm not in love with it but if I can grab it for $38 at Walmart then I will considering I can probably trade it back in after finishing it for $35. If I had to pay full retail for it I would definitely not but thats just me.

No regrets about buying the 60 gig. I'm not even considering buying the slim because its "cool". I would only buy the slim if I never purchased a ps3. I have a ton of ps2 games so backwards compatability was a big reason why I got the 60 gig.

slim cuz of the higher resale value. Seriously, in 3-4 years, the PS3 wil become obsolete, so why get one that will dimish in value more.

Just like why would u get a pre-facelift model when u can get a facelift model at the same price.

true, the main thing the fat has going for it is its proven reliability. though I don't think Sony would botch it up and build a POS now

Ironically, I had to take my 40G back to MTC in Coquitlam for repair twice within one year, once for burnt out BD drive, 1 month after purchase, another time for loud fans, 6 months in.

Now my 40G is louder than my refurb 360 from 07 5 mins into BD movie watching.

Some games are still priced as 59.99 and 64.99. I dont get why prices differ for non special edition games. They should just make one damn price and stick to it

Thats why I never buy games retail. I just wait a week after they're released and someone on craigslist always has a new or used copy for $40. I never had to have a game right away when it came out. Patience will save you some money ;). I'm waiting for ninja gaiden sigma 2 to come out on sept 29th. I hope they have some opening day special or else I'll have to wait a week and grab it off someone on craigslist and NHL10 comes out in abotu 1 month. My buddy works at EA so I'll get hooked up with that :)

buying off CL is a great idea.

Thats the one thing I have noticed about the PS3, the few that do get problems, seem to get a lot of them. I know the fans on my buddies PS3 scream almost as loud as a 360, which is bordering on hurricane force. So he resold it and picked up a 60GB which works fine.

I USED to buy every single game the first day it released, sure many members recall that

had like 15-20 games for ps3, and i had like 50-60 blue rays...firsy day release

than slowly and slowly finally i realize...wait WTF why the hell am i paying this much for a video game that i know i will finish in 2-4 days lol

dont even wonna add how much i loss on paying retail

and i guess recently i finally realize how gay MSRP video game is until they jack up the price to $69.99. nearly 80 bux per game, u buy 4 of them and u own a console. doesnt make any sense...thats when i say the hell with it

Online stock and in-store stock is different. You already saw posts in this thread about people heading to wal-mart once the stores open just to buy a video game. News of these sorts of deals spread like wildfire online (redflagdeals) and all it takes is a couple of clicks and your order is placed. :p

Not only does Walmart have that sort of pricing power but they're likely using promos like this one to get consumers into their store and hoping they make additional purchases.

hey guys I got a chance to snag a PS3 off a friend of a friend that supposedly only needs a new motor to spin the disk (?) now is it possible to just get a new motor somewhere? or even a whole new drive and just swap 'em? or are they coded like the 360 drives?

if it were that easy, your friend wouldn't be giving it you :p

You'd probably have to disassemble the optical drive to replace the motor, and IMO, you're probably better off replacing the whole drive.

well they know nothing of the internals of a PS3 haha. I'm not afraid to crack it open I just don't want to drop the money on a new drive when a new motor would've sufficed, or get a whole new drive just to find out that I need $100 in programing gear to recode the drive.

edit: looking at that guide it might just need that service menu fix or a new laser, minty, thanks!

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/31/god-of-war-collection-coming-to-ps3-this-holiday/

Backwards compatibility is back ... sort of! SCEA has announced that the PlayStation 2 God of War games will be coming to PlayStation 3 on a single, HD-enhanced Blu-ray disc. Previously hinted at in a consumer survey, the God of War Collection will feature "reworked" versions of both games, running at 60 frames per second and 720p resolution. The port is being handled by Bluepoint Games, the team behind the PSN-exclusive shooter, Blast Factor. Hopefully, the games will be more than simply upscaled, giving original PS3 owners a reason to partake in the double dip. Update: And yes, it will have Trophies.

The Blu-ray collection will be available this "holiday season," and will cost $39.99 -- the same price as buying both of the games on PS2. This HD remix should give fans some time to practice Kratos' moves before God of War III completes the "triology" (oh, press release typos!) in March.


Good for anyone that hasnt played any of the god of war games yet

Not realy feeling this 3.0 update. The friends list has a big white tacky border over every single person on your friends lists. They should have kept that the way it was. Looks so ugly now. I turned the glitter shit off as well.

hrmmz... sorry i can't be of any help. i've never had any problems with the system so far. but i also don't play it too much either.. maybe thats why. i usually buy a new game ... test it out for about an hour or so ... and then it gets put away lol. its kind of a bad habit of mine. collect a bunch of stuff ... so if i ever do want something to play with ... i know it'll be there hehe.

About MKV files, Samsung is coming out with Firmware updates for all their players from BDP 1500 and up that will allow you to play MKV files

For people who want to stream media to the ps3 easily and efficiently, use the PS3 Media Server. It's basically a program that was started by a couple of guys and in my opinion kicks the crap out of tversity. The setup is literally like 2 mins. It's supported for Windows (It can be run as a service), Linux and OSX.

http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/

Basically run the setup file, and configure your share directory on your computer.

You can even have movie cover art show up on your PS3. In the share directory on your computer lets say you have a Braveheart.mkv file. If you put in a braveheart.jpg you will now from the PS3 XMB see the Movie Cover to the left of the name.

For transcoding bluray files its a good idea to have at least a dual core cpu. I run a dual core 5200 as one of my machines that serves out media to my ps3 and it does a perfect job with no problem.

The program also acts as a file server. From your PS3, you can hit triangle on any of your movie files and save them to your ps3 as well.

It can play any format you want.
