Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic (1 year ago)

if you accidently make a bad decision, you can usually hit esc to end the conversation and restart it. for one quest I even abandoned it, making me restart the whole quest line

Re: Steam Holiday Sale! (1 year ago)

I think, last day for achievements, second last day for sales. the sale timer is over 24 hours still.

Re: Steam Holiday Sale! (1 year ago)

cogs
frozen synapse
half life
deus ex
bunch of heroes

(sorry if this is too OT, seemed about right to me)

Re: The PSP Vita Thread (1 year ago)

for most users, does the one account thing actually make a big difference? I almost never use my AU account, the US account is so much better... although I have never ventured into the JPN store, I'll admit.

Re: So apparently a "Sony Smash Bros" is actually in d (1 year ago)

replaying to an ancient comment but whatever... Rico kind of makes more sense than Sev, because he's been in all 4 games. it's still a little weird but I guess that explains it a bit?

I agree this'll probably suck. but I'll still probably buy it, so I guess sony wins...

Re: The PSP Vita Thread (1 year ago)

The problem is amazon states on the 3DS and PS Vita pages that they only ship to the US. did they just start this? or do they just not enforce it?

Re: The PSP Vita Thread (1 year ago)

I haven't imported a console before, any chance someone has an idea of there the place/places to import from are?

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (1 year ago)

From what I can tell the above deals include the movies on DVD, not blu-ray, especially important to point out as UK region DVDs won't play on a ps3, UK region blu-rays will.

Gears 3 Beta (2 years ago)

wasn't sure if here or the meetup forum would be the better place, but I thought here would get more views. if anyone wants to match up for the Beta, feel free to throw me an add.

Re: BulletStorm: UK edition (2 years ago)

maybe I missed something, but wouldn't the DLC code operate similarly to how the multiplayer betas in crackdown/ODST did? (insert disc to download/play the beta)

Re: BlazBlue (2 years ago)

seeing as the DLC for CS is on sale this week I thought I would check if anyone knows, is DLC for blazblue region locked, or can I me some squirrelly goodness on the cheap?

Re: Halo: Reach (2 years ago)

just thought I would let people know that the noble map pack is region free, just bought off the AU store and it's working fine with my asian copy.

Re: Australian Gaming Bargains - 07/10/10 (2 years ago)

actually, for a fairly good check of internet prices I use www.gamestracker.com - it won't include certain sites it really should in the search (play-asia and videogamesplus being two that come to mind), but it's not too bad...

yeah split second ps3 pre owned is 18. crazy brisbane were all out

Re: E3 2010: Sony Conference Liveblog (2 years ago)

the thing I want clarity on is the whole PSN+ 'you can own the games as long as you're subscribed'. does that mean they are adding some kind of god awful DRM to all DLC? or maybe that the files can only be downloaded as a subscriber, and if you don't renew you can't re-download the files?

either way it's hard to say that it is worth the cost of subscription...

Re: E3 2010: Sony Conference Liveblog (2 years ago)

GT5 was dated. pushed back again - november 2 for NA, I think it was...

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)

"selling this game cheaper than anyone else"
could have also pointed out that several places are selling it cheaper than $99 aswell.

Re: What really ticks you off? (2 years ago)

grumble...

Got my order from zavvi the other day. a nice cheap copy of the fable 2 GOTY.

open up the package, and I recieve a standard edition... their response when I queried? oh sorry, we couldn't find the GOTY so we sent you the standard (which they claim to be out of stock of...), for the inconvenience here's 2 pounds...

the difference in content costs about 12 pounds...

*grumble*

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)

hey does anyone know the discount code key for this EB sale? they seem to be using new ones, so I can't really tell what's discounted and what isn't...

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (2 years ago)

! reminds me !
don't remember seeing it mentioned here, but JB are selling blazblue for 59 along with the mini stick/360 controller covers.

price-matched at EB so I got the PS3 stick with artwork on it

also, JB have a new deal - $90 for PS3 remote + 3 blu-rays (either zombieland + resident evil extinction + district 9 OR terminator salvation + 2012 + something else I forgot)

Re: Wii price drop (3 years ago)

with any luck, this will make way for a wii + galaxy 2 bundle for somewhere in the 300-350 range...

Re: Pokemon Discussion Thread (3 years ago)

Re: Nintendo 3DS announced (3 years ago)

that's... annoying...

pokemon generation V, given the timelines, would be set to land on the DS... you would think nintendo would want to push sales by delaying genV six months and making is a 3DS launch title, which would allow for a whole new engine right away...

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)

my bad, I thought k-mart was 49...

ah well, it at least gives more options for where to buy it

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)

Big W 1-upping kmart at the last second

Re: Purchasing items from other regions on the PSN (3 years ago)

they do, but the only way to add credit is with a US PSN card.maximuscards used to be the reccomendation, but they seem to have gotten bad press recently...

Re: Gaming Bargains V2 (3 years ago)

unless Big W decides to 1-up them at the last minute

PALGN night at the mana bar would be great, would be even better if it was held during a uni-friendly time so I could actually go!

Re: Atkinson Rann Out Of Office (3 years ago)

don't get mad, get elected...
personally, I think there's no cause to blame the politicians. people have noone but themselves to blame unless they make an active effort to be educated about what various parties stand for and spread that knowledge to the people they know.
