Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at 12:31 pmI held off all week, but this morning I decided to pick up Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Circuit City has the game on sale for $49.99 and you get a $10 Gift Card to boot! Pretty good deal. For $52.79 I get the last great PS3 exclusive (for […]
Its Saturday Morning Stuffs Time!
Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at 8:26 amComing at you fast, furious, and with half the verbosity.
First up, last night I download the Super Stardust HD Team Expansion. It was $4.99, but I have read that a couple of articles that hint that somehow it is included with release 4.0. Not sure WTF that means except that I may have […]
Console sales trends?
Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 7:29 pmLies. Damn lies. Statistics. Regular readers know that I have a PS3, but no 360, so it probably naturally comes across as a somewhat Sony biased site. I am sure it would be the same if I had a 360 and no PS3. I also have a Wii (really it […]
PS2 sales cannibalize the PS3?
Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 6:52 amThere was not much of anything exciting coming out of E3 this year, but one thing of note was that Sony is going to a single PS3 SKU - 80GB, no PS2 hardware backwards compatibility.
Interesting strategy on Sony’s part. The PS2 is still selling well, and the PS3 is picking up momentum. Seems […]
PS3 Hard Disk Upgrade
Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 6:48 amFor those of you that want to upgrade your PS3 HDD, BG Gaming posted a nice little guide
“In the XMB go to Settings > System Settings > Backup and backup your current drive to an external USB drive. I suggest making your backup as lean as possible. Delete any game cache files (seeing as they […]
NCAA Football 09 (first minor impressions)
Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at 6:57 amNothing really significant to post on the gameplay front because I have only played one game.
First of all, I think this year’s game is better in every way compared to last year: gameplay, pace of game, controls, menu system, everything. With that said, my next impression is that the game pisses me off […]
NCAA Football 09 (The no update, update)
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 at 7:22 pmThis year was the first year in forever that I did not preorder NCAA Football, and pay for next day shipping. So I did not get it day one, and somehow or another the sun still came up today. Amazing!
My wife was good enough to pick up the game for me today, so […]
Final Fantasy XIII news.
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 at 6:42 amI am not much of a big E3 fans these days. For the most part, I think the show has lost its prominence. As much of the videogame world knows by now, yesterday Microsoft announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be released on the Xbox 360. Gasps! Gnashing of teeth! […]
Sony selling virtual ad space (no price cuts in immediate future)
Monday, July 14th, 2008 at 6:30 amSony never ceases to amaze me. Their current marketing strategy is all over the map. How does Home fit in with Qore and the PlayStation Store? How about the OfficialPlay Station Magazine? I do not see how Sony is pushing any of the mediums; it is so damn ad hoc, that […]
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction gets cheap?
Monday, July 14th, 2008 at 2:30 amPS3 Fanboy is running a couple of different articles [link 1 and link 2] that show some “Greatest Hits” type titles are on the way for the PS3.
Game Positive+ also confirms that a “Greatest Hits” line is on the way.
“It should be interesting to see how prices compare to games in the Xbox 360’s Platinum […]
Remote Play (Semi-Success)
Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 3:10 pmStill doing the Remote Play thing; or at least trying to get it to work. I made some more updates to the PS3 and Router settings, and I was able to connect via internet and private network options, so things were working OK. By saying things “were working OK” I mean that the […]
Tiger Woods 09 Eye Candy - EA loves some graphics
Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 10:19 amI have been looking for an excuse to throw up another Eye Candy post. Thanks to EA Sports I now have one, but I bet everyone would rather see some more body paint models. Talking about real eye candy!
No doubt even prettier in Tiger Woods 09
While doing some Remote Play tests, I decided […]
Remote Play Woes
Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 6:26 amAt the risk of this becoming a Remote Play sucks theme weekend, I still have a few comments to post on the subject, and undoubtedly will have a few more before the day is done. Friday night and Saturday morning everything with my Remote Play setup was working great. As I posted Saturday […]
Remote Play is a no go.
Saturday, July 12th, 2008 at 4:18 pmI am not going to go into a lot of detail right now because I have spent several frustrating hours attempting to get Remote Play working correctly. After trying numerous settings on router, I still cannot get internet connectivity (turning on the PS3 from the PSP) to work correctly. I am just not in […]
PS3 PSP Remote Play Redux
Saturday, July 12th, 2008 at 6:37 amLast night I started tackling Remote Play again. My previous attempts were not very successful, and ended with some serious fits of frustrations. Yes, color me bitter. I wrote off Remote Play for 5-6 months, but I figured with the new PSP 4.01 and PS3 2.41 firmware updates, maybe things would end differently. Remote […]
