I have called my local gamestop 3 times last week. Last time I called was earlier today. I called to ask about the 32GB cards that I guess I was unable to pre order. Im worried I get there on the 15th at night and they ethier be all gone or never come in. Can you tell me if your gamestop have any in or is getting a shipment with any in it?

We haven't gotten any 32gb so far, the biggest we have is 16gb. We got pretty much every accessory except the 32gb cardI think.

Order on Amazon?
 
Talking about my ears and eyes bleeding (the lyrics)...
That 240p...
And that music...

That aside, it looks like a nice way to show off what's available on your console.
Seems very... E3 montage-y though.

Like I said, everyone has different tastes lol I personally like the song, makes it seem like the PS3 is saying "Listen everyone, this is what I'm offering, this is next gen", since the PS3 didn't have such a good first year per say, and the original US commercials were horrible, like the baby one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU&feature=fvwrel], the eye one, the egg one, etc. The quality of the video is bad because the one with the best quality on YT has a big announcement covering the image lol sorry.


I've never seen that air on TV. For shame Sony.

Are you from the US? if so that's strange, I've seen it a lot of times.

Yea that worrys me. I know they are expensive and Sony thinks we wont buy as much but we should of been able to pre order them at least. 16GB and 32GB should of been able to be pre ordered. : (

Yeah. The song isn't that bad. I was just trying to be light :p
Not my kind of music, but I heard that song a lot on the radio years ago, so it must have been popular. So I don't hold it against the commercial to use a popular song.
 
Some people really took the Amazon.ca mistake too personally.
It's not like it's widespread. You just see more of it here because... well... it's GAF.

All big releases, software or hardware, get sent out early and sit in the back room until street date. Don't know why people feel the Vita should be different. Just be patient like with every other release ever.

Of course I say this while holding my delicious early Vita.
Hey frequency... how many locals have you found with Amazon.ca Vitas in your Near application? I've seen 4 unique players in my immediate area. Only talked to one directly, though... I suppose the others could be import systems.
 
used the rest of my Amazon credit and bought Lumines for 20$ :)

i have a 25$ gift card for target, might use it for ridge racer, will only cost me 5 so i think that would be worth it lol
 
Id rather not my game system be left outside not just from Chicago cold weather, but because people tend to steal stuff. : ( I buy from Amazon just not expensive shit.

Well if you dont want to order the actual system from amazon, why not just get the 32gb memory card off amazon? Are you picking up the FEB or the 3g system? If anything, order the memory card on amazon, and make due with the 4gb until the 32gb card arrives.

I'm sure they will get out as many of them as they can, seeing how much profit they must make off them.

I'm not Freqency but I'm qualified to answer!

In Toronto (east-ish from downtown) as of right now there's 12 people. Everytime I've checked their played games it's been imports though.

I saw 4 the last time I checked (like around noon).
2 were listed to have played Welcome Park and the other 2 HSG.

Which are the two that I have played...
So I don't know if it's just finding myself or something.
I'm dumb and that sounds like the type of mistake I would make.
 
It almost seems that way with how scarce GS is making them out to be.

I'm guessing the buyer for Vita accessories for Gamestop misjudged demand and ordered a bunch of 16GB cards for stores instead of 32, so now they need to create a story as to why they don't have them!

Also why I order most my stuff from Amazon now. Don't need to worry about Gamestop garbo and I get items delivered right to my home. Already have my 32gb card at my residence from Amazon already!
 
On Monday I will get WipEout 2048, Vita Cradle, and Parks and Recreation Season 3 DVD. It will be a good day, but not as good as Wednesday, when the Vita will. be. mine.
 
This arrived yesterday in my mailbox from Amazon.

Have to wait a while before I get to play it though. I'm very excited though and hope the Vita does well. I got the 3DS a couple of weeks ago mostly for Revelations (which is awesome), upcoming Kingdom Hearts and Kid Icarus.
 
for those of you waiting for PSVita on the official date, i suggest you buy twisted metal for ps3 this tuesday and enjoy one of the greatest games of our generation. do it!

Sure


Oh wait the demo sucks and there's no characters like the old ones, just stupid vehicles and "gangs"



Nah

Very nice. Are you getting the first edition bundle or waiting for the launch?

Oh god I forgot all about the shorts, the month before the PS3 came out it seemed like Channel 4 were showing those things every break after 9PM.

lulz, there's still unique vehicles. why do you care who the driver is? the stars of twisted metal has always been the cars with their unique strategies and the fantastic environments. none of that is changing!

Grasshopper and Thumper > those stupid shitty cars


anyway, that's not relevant to this thread.

Not to stray too off topic, but the character endings were a large part of previous twisted metals, so losing the characters does bother me.

With that being said, hopefully there will be a vita version of twisted metal. That, and Destruction Derby... and Crash Bandicoot, lol.

But I think I am just grasping at straws.
 
Is Ghost of Sparta going to add right stick support?

Its the only God of War game I have yet to play, and figured might as well go ahead and d/l it for the Vita.

Doubt it. Rolling was shoulder button + nub (i think) so right stick wouldn't help much.

It doesn't need right stick at all though. Great game

None of the games *add* right stick support. It's part of the PSP emulation. You map it yourself.

I'm a sucker... I worked three 90 hour weeks in a row (and the two weeks before that were pretty bad too) so I am getting the first edition as a present to myself. I got Uncharted and UMvC and will get Escape Plan online when I pick it up. Also waiting to hear of a release date for Final Fantasy Type 0. Gravity Rush is also on my to buy list.

Is FFT0 getting a release in the West? All I've read is that Hajima Tabata said the team is working on an "international" version.

Is that international as in a version for the west, or is it international in Square Enix terms? For example, FFXII had an international version and it only came out in Japan. Part of me thinks the interpretation that a few news sites reported on a while a go were a misinterpretation.

I ask because this hasn't been confirmed by Square Enix, it's been quite some time, and nothing actually confirmed a release is imminent.

Also, Square Enix has been really good about announcing titles for the West shorlty after they are announced for Japan. Especially with FFXIII-2, the releases were very close between Japan and the West. I can't imagine why they'd handle it different for Type-0.
 
Got to finally use one tonight (Gamestop). Will only bore you with my dislikes - the left analog stick is too close to the dpad, and holding the device in such a way as to avoid the back-touch is really uncomfortable for me. Otherwise my pre-order isnt getting cancelled. I will however think twice about buying games at full-price that aren't native resolution. Hot Shots was ugly.

Me too played 3 holes twice...what resolution is that anyway...looked like a super dull try at ps3...
 
wat... why?
Because the slightest hint of being open leaves them vulnerable to pirates. Hell, the content manager's already going too far!

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they felt that way. Worse in that the PSP/PS3 hacking vindicates this, even though there's possibly other ways around it.
