I thought it was bad enough when Maddox was putting down Sony. Ouch.

Not to be offensive or anything, but tell that to the people waiting for the Wii on Sunday just to get the cards to download classic NES games...(uh oh! Throw this one in the Wii thread). I feel sorry for them in a way. Link? That post doesn't make a lot of sense, since, last I checked, Sunday is over 24 hours away.

Not to be rude, but what the hell are you talking about? o__O

Best thing I've ever heard about the PS3. Also, Child's Play is awesome.

I'll wait on this one, but I definitely want it. Wii takes first priority. In fact, I may just want to get the rest of my family DSes before I spend any more money on DS games for myself.

PS3: Non-essential, luxury item. Gas: Essential item, especially when concerning generators. Shooting at people for something like this goes above and beyond retarded. No one should get that worked up over a gaming system.

Go look in the other thread.

Lol making money in Animal Crossing! A friend of mine just finished selling all his turnips at my town's store for profit. I hate that guy.

Interesting read. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11740 EDIT: Also, Sony's reasoning behind their ads on crack. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11728

So I swung by Best Buy and got a copy of Zelda. Apologies for sucky camera.

Probably you're only getting four funny.

SMOKE. Where is Majora's Mask?? You can play it on the Promotional Disc.

Mini-spoiler: Life for Link begins in his small rural hometown of Ordon. Spending his days as a ram wrangler, things begin to get a little weird when strange monsters are spotted on the borders of the village. Link is tasked with taking a journey to the main city in Hyrule to consult with the folks there about the recent troubles. That premise is so close to the game I'm developing that it's not even funny. Stop stealing my ideas, Nintendo. In other news, good review scores for TP! Whoot!

NO. What he said. There is a continuity. It just isn't a "continuous" one, if you get what I'm saying. Most of the games don't flow directly into each other (ignoring the OoT->MM->TP->WW streak, and even they aren't completely continuous), but the overall story is connected. My guess is, they will continue releasing games to connect the previous games, so the gaps are a bit shorter. Just a guess though.

So the PS3 launched in Japan today. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=69868 Sorry, Evilhead. The article is a good read, though.

You'd think with all that space they have they could afford some decent anti-aliasing. That does not, however, apply to Resistance. That game looks truly kick arse. To be honest, I would expect nothing less from a $600 console.

Worst trolling post ever. Seriously, you can do better than that. Also, lol at 1080p! Trolling, no. Laughing at the people that say HD is everything, yes. I'm specifically talking about the people that have said that they can tell the difference and swear it's that much better. And what's so funny about 1080p? The name, or the concept? Or that people are willing to pay for it, and get nothing extra from it? It was mostly that your post seemed to be directed at the people in the thread, most of whom had not expressed this love for 1080p. It didn't really seem like a 2nd person POV kinda post. And in answer to your second question, the bolded part.

Jesus. Downloadable content for a Zelda game? Something to put it BEYOND the alleged 70 mark? And what the hell do they mean by "levels"? Is this dungeons with extra content, sidequests, heart pieces or actual storyline bits? Will this cost something? Dear God men, speculate, speculate dammit! Sweeeeeeeet. I would expect downloadable content to be on a pay-for basis.. but, I dunno. Maybe not!

Worst trolling post ever. Seriously, you can do better than that. Also, lol at 1080p!

That one's not too bad. Yeah, definitely a lot better than the crying baby. I still like the Rubik's Cube one the best. At least now they're actually showing the controller. Looks more like a game console and less like a generator.* *The PS3 is pretty, but in the commercials it wasn't clear what the hell it actually did.

He can't troll in the Wii thread without getting flamed to bits, so he does it here instead. Sorry Evilhead, couldn't resist. Youkai: PS3 compatible with PS1 software? That's kinda reaching. Do you have any reasoning or source to back this up?

But it just doesn't pan out in the long run. I've bought a LOT of electronics in my life, and I've never had a problem with any of them aside from my iPod which was under warranty. If I payed for service plans for all of these products, I'd literally be out thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing. And most plans are only for a year or so anyway. Most stuff breaks much further down the line. For instance, my lappy's HD died recently. Had I bought the $250 service plan from Best Buy, I'd STILL have to buy and replace the HD myself because the plan would be up by now. It's just a big scam. If you have shitty hardware, it will tend to fail pretty quickly. If it fails years down the line, you're probably in the market for a new version of whatever it is you bought. It's definitely not a good idea to buy a service plan for everything. A lot of things just don't break quickly enough, so there's not a lot of point in it. I wouldn't say it's a big scam, but it's certainly a much better bet for people who don't treat their stuff nicely. If you're good to your computers and you know basic hardware replacement, then you're not really gonna need anything like that - I wouldn't ever think of buying a service plan for my computer, but I'd buy one for a new camera that I know will be dropped a bunch. It's a lot like health insurance - if you're a smoker or a moron, you're going to benefit more than if you exercise and eat right.* You have one expensive laptop, by the way. *Also known as adverse selection.

Why are these so expensive. you would think that when spending 600 on a system that it is going to work, what is so special about these that make them worth the money. I never buy them, and never need them. The reason they are expensive is because the parts are expensive. They charge you that much because they might have to replace a part worth over twice that amount in the future. It's pretty much a gamble, on their part and yours. You're betting that your stuff will need to be serviced, they are betting that it won't. It depends on how reliable you think Sony's hardware is. Evilhead: Having worked at Best Buy, I can tell you that we don't work on commission, ever. Besides the fact that we are pressured to make the numbers, which I'm pretty sure most retail employees are, there isn't any reason for us to sell you that shit unless it's for your benefit. And I've had many a time where I've had to tell someone a repair costs half(or more) of what they initially paid for. Once a guy had to throw away a three month old TV because it was surged, and the repair would have been about 3/4s the cost of the TV(MFW almost never covers surges). We could have repaired it for him for free if he had spent $30 on a service plan.

How does this make sense exactly? Like sony being on top for 2 generations hasn't caused that? Yeah, Sony has stagnated the market a lot more than Nintendo has ever done. Developers have been decrying Sony for a while for difficulty worse than Nintendo currently has been doing. It's like Sony forgot why developers started supporting them in the first place. And that was, oddly enough, the exact same reason developers started leaving Nintendo for Sony.

I've watched them. They would be nice for me to watch other people play them. And I NEVER want to watch other people play games. I'd always rather be doing it myself. My hate for the PS2 "dual shock" controller shape is massive. Seriously, it hurts my hand after a while, and I always get the buttons confused and have to look down AT the controller to see what button to push. I shouldn't have to do that. Eh, it took me a long time to get used to the SNES game controller, too. I just don't like having similar sized buttons in rows like that, I guess.
