^ So I just briefly considered getting one for $300... Until I realized there weren't really many exclusives other than Halo, Gears of War and Forza that are worth playing. Not counting XBLA games - what else did I miss?
Honestly worth it for Gears, Fable and the XBLA games alone.

There are soo many good XBLA games.

Zavvi have 2 games for 25 pounds.

With shipping it is about 52 dollars with shipping. Mass Effect 2, Darksiders, Metro 2033 and Dragon age seem to be the good deals.

But i was just making a joke. Why is everyone so serious
Dont worry, i wasnt getting angry or anything, just voicing an opinion.

Got to remember that even if it was an awesome game despite the short length, the quality of the game could have gone downhill if they extended it longer. So it was probably best to cut the games shorter and leave the gamer with a positive experience with the game even though it's length was there downfall.
Just like a movie that over stays its welcome can become tedious and boring.

Those blockbusters like Uncharted 2 kept things fresh and thats why it was so good, if they could only do that for 5 hours, who cares? Not me because the ride it takes you on is worth the price of admission.

Its longer than 6 hours. And really, who values a game on how long it is...
When you're paying $80+ on release? Most people.
So if the best game you ever played was 3 hours long and 100 bucks it isnt worth it but if yo suffered through 40 hours of crap for 50 bucks it was money well spent. Gamers nowadays are too concerned about length and not about quality. "oh ill just rent that"

If i don't get my mirrors edge squeal because of people like you I will be pissed icon_lol.gif

Question time.

With the $250 deal at JB on the 360 I'm thinking it's time I replaced mine. I've had it for 3 years, never had any problems, but I really need a bigger HDD and wouldn't mind some HDMI. Should I do this?

Also need a headset for the PS3 whats the cheapest option? Was hoping not to have to wait for postage if possible.
Well that is what I just did.. So i say yes. LOL

PS3 headset cheapest option. Go to eb and see if they have a PS2 headset from so-com. 5 bucks I paid from eb, usb good quality headset.

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)
Joseph,

Sorry I was meaning stores like Coles, Big w, Woolworths/Safeway etc as I have experience with them. A lot of companies are going to online feedback only, mainly tech companies.

bluedez_man

let me tell you that most emails are ignored. If you take the time to write a letter and then post it. It will be taken much more seriously. Put your complaint in writing and record the dates etc for your own reference.

Then the Management have no choice but to take you and your complaint seriously.

Though looking to get someone fired because they havn't had adequate training due to the company is a little harsh.
Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)
Yea sorry, meant to say the standard bundle.
Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)
FYI,
Big W has it for 88 on PS3, PS2, 360 and Wii
Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)
Also I thought places like Big W and JB Hi Fi were loss leaders in video games. I know Big W is in CD's.
Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)
I may be wrong here, but the PSP Go's price premium over the PSP 3000 is so that retailers make more money than a traditional console so that retailers wont get too pissed off, even though EB did.

Out of all the companies in the world only 3 or 4 other (none as big as EB) stores boycotted the PSP Go, that I know about.

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)
How long does shipping usually take from 365?
Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)
Does anyone know where to buy Fifa 10 on the 360 cheap?
The normal seems about 90. Is it cheaper anywhere else?
Re: Brink (3 years ago)
I agree that this game looks like its going to be an interesting mix.
285 = overpriced.

Want something to kick its ass??

2 275's in SLI.

Id say wait for the i7's, that way you dont have an out of date socket.
or even see how the i5 peforms when it comes out.

Have a look at this page, its fairly good.

Look, if your just going to get one now.
Get a PS3, all these people talking about oh it has the better games and it has more.... That was 2006, 2007. PS3 has the better exclusive line up of games and free online multiplayer. While xbox live is better than the psn in terms of overall features. Seriously im struggling to find good 360 exclusives that i want to play these days. (and i have only had the system for 3 months)

Ps3 can have as many accounts (with different online settings) as you want, and has games like Buzz etx. We all know the wii is a family system but are you a family that plays a lot of games together or you want something that all the family can play?

Also a lot of PSn games have great local co-op options on them.

Skate 2 - the only problem with this game is the off board contols. Other than that is almost perfect!

I would have to say inFamous sitting at 84 on meta critic is wrong!

Motorstorm Pacific Rift - what can i say? this game is fantastic.
Smurf 80. Do know you need to start again with shards if you start another game on bad karma. They dont carry over.

No, then you're a halfwit for driving an hour to save 4 dollars. Does your car run on fairy dust and leprechaun piss?????
No you dont under stand. (unsurprisingly)
If i drive an hour to go to a town where i can BUY the game i want. If i were to get "served" by you, i would need to go back home and get my catalogue, i would tell you to get f**ked. Im not going to drive to another town for just one game, im there for other things you dud. So if i need to be in that town for another reason and i can get a game 4 dollars cheaper why the hell not!?

Oh btw my car runs on LPG getting 6.0 L/100 Km at 60c/l

Thats $7.20 for a round trip. - that 4 dollars and my trip just cost me 3.20

Now who is the halfwit?
If i go to EB Games its an hours drive. What if i forget the Cataloge???
Am i then an Unprepared Halfwit trying to save 4 Dollars?
I live alone, i make fuck all money. around 350 a week and your winging that I want to save 4 Dollars!!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ok, what can 4 dollars buy me? I can get Wheeties on sale and 2 L of milk. Thats breakfast for a week.. For What did you say, 1KM of walking. HAHAHAHA. If i got 4 dollars for every KM I walked i wouldnt stop walking.

Honestly your a sad person who needs to think about their own life and why they are complaining.

Ok the JB Buisness model is one that keeps customers more loyal than most. If we sell this at a loss they might buy or see something else they want in the store and they will come back. The amount of people who go in to get one game and come out with 2 and a CD or a pair of headphones. They made a Profit on those the other 2 items and made a net profit. That customer will remember the prices and think "wow JB is a good store, ill go there next time. Screw harvey norman, their customer service is crap"
WHAT!? Why do people think Prototype is censored!
No its not.
