DmC is $58 at Big W. The feel of import prices.

Yeah, sounds sorta similar to the steam system.
Everyone excited for the biggest game of this year? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BVSUfZv3QnY
All the pre-game stuff was terrible as per usual. The in-game camera and sound work was a real step up. They did flounder a bit on the odd occasion, the spider-cam in particular was fantastic on some occasions and incredibly disorienting in others.
It's bad enough that we have to put up with Phil Gould who is by far the worst offender, but also Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler. Why did they have to add Karl Stefanovic to the mix? I felt he was incredibly condescending to Sterlo at half time and that's unforgivable. You cannot behave like that to one of the only two worthwhile commentators on the game who offers some of the best analysis you'll hear.
Whoever had the idea for the SBW voice-overs needs a solid boot up the arse. Maybe it was nice however they imagined it, but in reality that's not something anyone needs to hear. Ever.
It was pretty damn good. I had it and the TV on next to each other for a bit. The delay wasn't too long, it doesn't handle motion as well which I would assume is a framerate thing. I had it on in HD (not really HD, but still very good) and it held pretty damn well.

PS Vita is $200 at EB again. We seem to get a lot more sales on it here than the US.
Also Nexus 7 32GB is $249 at Dick Smith, which is really tempting if I had money.
That isn't so awesome then if you still lose the public holidays.
It fucking better lead to them allowing offline cities.

Ah, you don't get from the week before Xmas to the week after New Years off? Must have only been the Logistics staff.

For one of the biggest publishers on the planet? It shouldn't be. They have FUCKLOADS of servers. They should be able to handle it. Otherwise they shouldn't have done it in the first place.
See, that ain't good. I really hope this leads to them allowing offline cities.

Under $50 from BeatTheBomb & Play Asia. OzGameShop is $48
Just some I think, think they show if they have cloud saves on the store page... fairly sure you can turn it off / configure it per game that has it via the properties.
I've been thinking about poking around that Citadel DLC for ME3, so I hope my saves are in the cloud... number one reason I have a bunch of Steam games clogging up my PC, no idea if they're cloud'd or not. Mandatory cloud saves would be fine by me if it was well-implemented.

Yeah I know it's cheaper online but $58 is a pretty good physical retailer, get home and play the game that day price. Plus wanted to get in on dat "feel of" snark.
Problem is, a whole bunch of processing is done on servers and then piped down to your PC, much like Diablo III.
They would have to make pretty major changes to get it working offline.
I've seen a few games syncing on close and what not and sometimes Steam will take 15-20 seconds to close as it syncs.
Might have a snoop around on the weekend.

Why is it never 3DS XL sales ?

Yeah just right click on the game entry in your Library, go to pref, should have a Cloud Saves section in the middle of the window that pops up where you can select yes/no as well as how much space it takes up.
EDIT: Pretty sure Dick Smith has 3DS stock for $119! I wouldn't expect a lot of stores to still have them though.

They don't need sales to sell 3DS XLs =P

I didn't love the spidercam. I saw a couple of players looking around distracted at the scrums before realising what it was. I didn't think it added much really. Not like ref cam has in the Super Rugby. That's awesome.
Totally checking out the streams when I get a chance.
Also I'm watching the first Anita Sarkeesian video. It's excellent.
Not the XL, but a few stores in Sydney seem to have blue and black.
That's a ridiculous price for such a sweet bit of hardware.
Damn straight

Nintendo will never put it on sale, trust me.
Oh, it wasn't earth-shattering at all. Used in the right places, I think it definitely adds something but I wouldn't complain much if they never used it again. Their use of the crowd sound was the most impressive thing, they've needed to amplify that for some time now and I hope that wasn't a one-off.
They're keeping the archived videos too! So watch the replays in non-shitty quality. I still can't believe how shit the BigPond Player is. The stored video files are decent I'm sure, but the player pixelates the shit out of it.

Wow. Simcity went from 9.5 to 8 and now 4 on Polygon.
Fucking BLOPS man. Can't ever EVER open a fucking door. Just run straight into them. Can't be opened unless it just so happens to be one that the dude with a big FOLLOW text above his head wants to peruse.
Only when you are told to tap the fuck out of A are you allowed to open a door. Tap the fuck out of that like there is a hydraulic piston trying to push it back against your force. Tap the fuck out of that like you have the strength of a pineapple. Throw your pineapple self at that damn door time and time again. Otherwise you ain't getting that fucking door open!
Fucking doors.

It goes all the way to RBWH now but otherwise its still the same.
Unfortunately my connecting bus no longer stops in southbank, so I'm going to have to do some walking to get to the 109 :/
but but but. They need sales to sell it to me.

Hearing NRL is ready to intervene at Cronulla and make some big changes off field. Could be major developments later today.
In hindsight I should have changed my tips....
This SimCity debacle is ridiculous. That said I'm totally picking up 4 over the weekend
EDIT: What's the best price on WiiU's at the moment? Even though I'm poor and trying to save I kind of want one.

A new Wii would be under $100 easily, usually the Mario Kart bundles get under $99 (saw it once for $69 at a KMart). Pre-owned ones have been under $50 for ages, EB would have pre-owned ones for that. Otherwise hit up Dick Smith/KMart/Target.
No real deals on. Was cheapest at launch really.
Aside from ZombiU there hasn't been a game to kickstart a sales campaign so I wouldn't expect anything decent until Pikmin or Wonderful 101.
A small ($20 at most) sale when LEGO GTA comes out is possible too.

Meh fuck it then. I need to save anyway
More importantly there is apparently a gunman in Queen St Mall. It's been evacuated and locked down. Stay safe BrisCityGAF!

How did he get into Sim City?
I remember in the cricket a few players got annoyed when it came down too low in their field of vision, Wade especially.
Let's hope the server crashes...

Just heard about the gunman. Apparently, he's shirtless and people are FREAKING OUT. Work's just sent an email to all staff telling people to avoid the mall.
I thought that was a screenshot from a video game because of the isometric angle.
Yeah, specifically Sim City.

Looks like a strange event, police seem to have it under control.
Drugs? Maybe drugs. Gotta wear a shirt out in that sun man.

Who's the dude trying to hold his pants up? Did he poop himself?
Buy the 32GB from Amazon for $75 instead. $275 for a Vita + 32GB card is still cheaper than Vita RRP and if you have PS+ it's crazy good value.
No.

Sounds like its all over. The dude's been detained and possibly shot, non-fatally.

Come on man. It's out of Victoria or Sydney. Channel Nine doesn't cover events north of the Tweed.
There could be a really good Underbelly type show on the government and police corruption during the Joh regime, but Nine would prefer to reenact little known pushers instead.

No production company would be willing to pursue it, lest they get sued regardless of the validity of the claims.
Which sucks because I love me some good boardroom drama.

If it turns out that he wasn't under the influence of vast, inhuman amounts of meth I'll be disappointed.
Clive: The first thing I thought of when I saw that first picture was "is that Vanilla Ice?". Uncanny.

If this dude with a gun walked down a public mall in America at least one person would be dead. He does it here, no one else has a gun, the cops do their job awesomely, and only he is hurt and even then not really that badly considering.

I watch this on TV at lunch, I thought there should shot him and there did, because it be easy solution and he won't hurt anybody then. We probably here more on the news tonight.
