Got a link to the source to back that up? It took Sony two years to make the PS3 affordable, can't really expect anything from them.

It's being received with lukewarm reception in Japan. Japan where they eat up everything Sony dishes out. There is little to no hype about it here. Handheld consoles are not big sellers. Nintendo couldn't even shift 3DS-es, dropped price. It doesn't take a market analyst to tell you that the price will be decreased for the PSV by Christmas.

cloud493

Because the software isn't there Monster hunter is due out. The japanese like monster hunter. It will shift units.

Colm!

Monster Hunter will shift mad units if the PSP's history is anything to go by (the PSP version of Monster Hunter practically saved the console in Japan. well, it sold anyway, but MH pushed a million or more units by itself) but let's face it, that's not going to shift units here (I know like.. two people who liked that game). If the 3DS is anything to go by, a price drop will happen near Xmas.

Price drop, more games and a slight OS manipulation and I'll buy a Vita. Until then, no single game or multitude of games for that system could change my mnd. Untill then, i'll use my Experia Play.

cloud493

Thats fair enough, it is a steep price tag. Anyhwozzles. Rayman origins is a joy to play, highly reccomended. Love it

Aoifey!

Just found a box of old playstation 1 games. I cannot explain how excited I am right now

Spyro: Year of The Dragon, Rugrats: Search for Reptar, Crash Bash, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Pipe Mania 3D, Tekken 2, Street Skater 2, Theme Park World.

That Law exam is so not getting studied for.

Well I've never even seen the star wars films, so :pac:

...Hey, I don't even care about Star Wars in the slightest.
But Battlefront 3 is big news.

I honestly hope it's true and being developed.

If i bide my time and money correctly, i'll have a well built computer by then to run it.

EA... Y U TROLLING US?

I've my N7 Edition of ME3 pre-ordered so it doesn't affect me per sé, but Jesus... Slight

Having a fúcking PROTHEAN as paid DLC on day 1? What the hell!

This is critical to the lore of the series! It'd be grand if twas DLC only available by online pass like Xaeid in ME2, but having to pay 20quid more to get something so critical is disgusting.

Isn't it? I had to make a new xbox live profile due to my email being hacked so I'm starting again from the beginning, last night I did the story with 12 characters.

It's such a good game, I had almost all the weapons and stuff bought on my old profile. I could never get too far in the Tower of Souls though!

Started MGS3 on the HD collections... I'd forgotten there was no radar.... not sure if I'm gonna like this as much as I did when I had cheats for stealth camo and stuff.

Same as myself. Once I have the dosh, it will be gotten.

I'm really pissed off at EA. When I first got BF3, the campaign either when it opened, or during a mission, crashed. And it always crashed at the same point during the second mission, preventing me from progressing past that point. It usually worked on multiplayer.

There was an update to BF3. I no longer crash in that part of the mission. I crash about a minute later.

Doesn't surprise me :pac: I love this thing. Hardly put it down.

wnolan1992

Yeah... so started playing MGS: Peace Walker.... not blown away I have to say. It seems that with all the new additions they made to the gameplay aspects they managed to destroy what I loved about the games. Camera control is a bit annoying. I mean, in MGS2 I remember thinking, "OK, if they just let me look all around when I'm pressed against a wall I'd be happy". and then they go and do what they did.... not a happy bunny. Don't think I'll finish that or MGS3 this time around I think.


Time to start my Mass Effect playthroughs finally I think.

Battery life would be a deal breaker for me. 3 hours just isn't enough.

Syked for ME3. N7 Edition pre-ordered since before Christmas.

I could be wrong, but wasn't GTA: Vice City originally only on PS2? That's definitely one the greatest games ever created.

vice city was out on pc as well and it was better then the ps2 version

pc version of vice city had a player made mod called multi-theft auto that allowed more than one player (upto 16) run around the same city map killing each other.

Whoever said 3 hours is talking rubbish :rolleyes: maybe its with full brightness and sound and all that, but I've got mine on full volume, nearly full bright, I get six hours before it needs charging again.

Can't wait for mass effect 3 just gonna get the regular edition though.

Average battery life from what I've heard is about 5 hours. Pretty decent in fairness considering the power of the yoke.

EA are screwing everyone who gets the regular edition. If you get the regular edition you later will have to buy a pretty key to the story character

a mother****in' PROTHEAN!

which you get for free with the N7. It's a bit scummy of them, seeing since you'd imagine that character is pretty pivotal to the story.

Well in Final Fantasy 13-2 you have to pay to see some of the endings :rolleyes:

Yeah... the industry is determined to fúck itself. All this day one DLC bullshít will eventually be what cripples the market imho.

I'm getting N7 Edition of ME because I love the games. I've been playing the series since 08, and since this is the last in the Shepard trilogy I want to get a collector's edition. But to think that by buying it I'm in a way supporting this marketing angle, honestly made me think about cancelling the pre-order.

So, in a demonstration of my unbelieveable skill in L4D2, I managed to die (without being attacked by any Infected) before leaving the safe zone on the first map of The Parish... >_>

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, this would be the area I'm talking about

I would've thought the problem is with people paying money for this DLC. Until it comes to the point where it becomes unprofitable to try and sell it, developers and/or publishers have no reason not to do it since it would seem to be a viable source of revenue for them.

cloud493

How much is this N7 edition anyway?

I imagine this to be your reaction..


But seriously... how the fcuk did you manage that?

wnolan1992

cloud493 wrote: »

About 70 quid. Can't remember tbh. It's about 20-30 more than the std. ed. but you get some cool stuff with it.

I don't have a problem with DLC per sé, as long as it doesn't restrict huge chunks of the story. Weapon packs, a bit iffy, if they're stat-identical to other weapons then grand. But this character in ME3 is pretty story critical. And to force people who didn't buy the N7 to have to pay more is a pretty dicky move. If you're releasing story content on day one, then everyone should get it. Even if you make it so you need a code to get it like Xaeid in ME2.

Robby91

I jumped to avoid a Charger who probably would've thrown me over the railing if he hit me :P Although, while falling to my watery grave, I did take a moment to wonder why Nick didn't grab onto the handrail like just about every other time

And my reaction? This sums it up nicely.

marko93

That's just un-lucky. Seriously un-lucky!

Anyone with a ps3, get PS+ I command you!
15 every 3 months or 50 for the year and you get a silly amount of free games for it.
Free Sly Cooper & Trine 2 this months \o/ (Would be 10 each otherwise)
