Has anyone else been watching this?
I stumbled across it on iView last night. (I should really pay attention to what's on abc tv)
The Chaser's Craig Reucassel presents a retrospective on the ABC's offensive and infamous TV events.

Have they shown "Lubricated Goat" yet? Funniest shit i have ever seen. It was on one of dentons early shows and he had a band on at the end of every show. This one is infamous because lubricated goat were stark fucking naked, absolutely starkers. I was literally ROFLMFAO. There were no pixelations either. Blah blah Blah was the show

What a shit storm that was. The abc switch melted down. They showed it on a show called backchat where people wrote in about the abc and had things explained. This led to more complaints and more showings on backchat. 2 years later they were still showing it and getting complaints. Lololololol

I remember PS2 games often being $109 new, even around 2004. 99 (edit: dollars was also common.) Someone a while ago said that this was not correct. Does anybody else remember this?

I remember buying Gears of War from JB Hifi for $89 and thinking it was an insanely good deal lol

Ah, those were the days! These days we are stuck with $48 end of gen prices and $59-63 next gen launch games! Sucks so bad!

So after the UK upset about PS4 prices of EA and Ubi games being higher than XBone ones I'm wondering whether the same is true in Australia. Seems like I cant see XBone prices in Australia on the web (I keep getting takedn to the US store) so I'll ask here. Now here are some PS4 PSN prices.

COD: Ghosts - $104.95
FIFA - $104.95
AC4 - $97.95
BF4 - $104.95
NFS - $104.95

So..worse or same as XBL?

In any case bloody insane prices. I chafe at even 90$ for a 60USD game.

Again, I really don't understand the point of this besides ripping off casuals. Simply make a U.S PSN account and save yourself 50 bucks.

Oh, right, I made this insufferably dumb video of the game-thing I've been working on these past few weeks. For those of you who want to see what real bad games look like when they're in very early development.

I never realised how homophobic that song was until now.

True. I expect thats what I will do in a lot of cases. Though I wonder if that (mass usage of this loopwhole) will just cause the us psn store to just deny non us credit cards. Ditto amazon and the psn codes.

Well. Sony EU announced the PS4 launch apps. As expected its a wasteland for Australia. Admittedly All I want is iView. Given how terrible the abc is at supporting new platforms I wonder how long it will take.

I'll be happy so long as I don't have to look at that fucking Singstar full-screen advert every time I boot up the fucking console. Sony are such a pack of cunts for having that in European regions (not in the US though).

You have an advert that plays during bootup of your PS3? I have never, ever seen that.

Its more like a icon that offers free singstar as a download. Can't say it bothered me. A better solution would have been to just preinstall it like Playroom.

Which of course has me wondering when PS4 Singstar will be announced, and how screwed will folks be re-DLC.

Can I queue dem up on PS3 or something or are they "permanent" freebies a la LBP?

PS. I still highly, HIGHLY doubt that PS4 will be impossible to buy on Friday. I'd wager that no-one's thought to go to, say, Harvey Norman to get one. Or Good Guys maybe.

Oh shit, I wonder if I can hit up my local 24hr Kmart, get it at midnight?

I think it's called the What's New menu. It shows the last couple of games I played plus a couple of small ad images:

I was going to say this. Forget PS2 days... this is more like it!

Pretty sure SSF2 on SNES/MD was something obscene like $169 because of the insane 40 meg cartridge. Those were the days.

These days I see a PC game for $15 3 months after release and think "ehhhh it could be cheaper".

That clip used to get picked by Rage guest programmers all the time. I remember the song was called "In The Raw", and they used some dodgy green screen tech to overlay the band with a bunch of people's hands (with ABC logos drawn on them) appearing at the bottom of screen, moving all over the place as if to try to cover the various dongs.

Could not believe what I was seeing when that showed up on my tv.

Harvey Norman have had PS4 pre-orders open on their web store (for in store pickup and delivery) for quite some time, I called mine (a small one) and they said that even though I pre-ordered months ago, I would be 2014. So I wouldn't bank on them, though, wouldn't hurt to check throughout the day cause people can pre-order online for store pickup with no money down. Many may not pick up devices on the day. My local said to check with them on the day in the morning and the late afternoon, if any pre-orders aren't collected (ones that weren't paid for / deposit made already) then I possibly could grab one of those. My local Good Guys said they're getting nothing until 2014.

JB HiFi and EB Games are getting the lions share of the Aussie shipment on launch day so a lot of other retailers won't have stock until 2014. Plus most places that are getting stock this year have been sold out for months now.

A few GameTraders in Adelaide had to cancel pre-orders when they weren't able to secure any first or second shipment stock.

You can try, but don't be surprised if you don't get one and can't for a while.
