[ziran]

Those bonus features suck.

totally agree, the 2nd disc sounds thrown together. i could easily live with the $49.99 version, however, the le case is tempting...

 

[olimario]

Those features DO suck.
And I'd rather a press release that said, "HERE IS WHAT THE GAME LOOKS LIKE NOW! ENJOY SCREENS, VIDEOS, and 3D SCREENS!"

 

[Shogmaster]

GAMES ARE STILL TEH FIFTY BUCKS!!!!!!!

I'm laughing already.

 

[bill0527]

I'm laughing already.

Yeah, I don't think I've got an extra 5 years laying around so that I can watch Rare's creative process.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I could give a shit about limited editions. Gimme 50 dollar regular games.

Extra fluff doesn't warrant 10 dollars. That's just gravy for these bastards.

Why anyone would wanna see that is completely beyond me, PD Zero is the ugliest next-gen game there is. If it turns out to have good gameplay then i'll buy the game, but surely no one will want this pathetic excuse for a Collectors Edition.

 

[Prine]

+1 purchase, awesome looking boxart, plus i gotta support Rare

 

[Leguna]

Does Perfect Dark Zero have a 2-player Co-op mode??? That would suck if it didn't.

Here's a leaked still, straight from Rare HQ

Ya, gotta support the company whos only games the past generation have been Star Fox Adventures, Conker remake, and Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

I'm eagerly anticipating some god damn screenshots from this game.

I thought the LOWEST price point for Xbox 360 games was $59.99...

Thought wrong, obviously...

Hmmmm. It doesn't say which holiday.

 

[mrklaw]

multi million?

0.1 x million = multi-million.

 

[Juice]

???

I thought the LOWEST price point for Xbox 360 games was $59.99...

No. Microsoft's said it wasn't hiking the prices of ITS games.

Now, that awesome port of Tony Hawk... who knows.

I like was Sony Santa Monica did with God of War. Lots of cool behind the scenes shit without the $10 bump in price.

I'm sure every studio has tons of dev art, characters that were cut, etc. It seems stupid to me to not throw some of that stuff in.

I bought all 3. Starfox Adventures was great fun (7/10) and Conker has a great offline multiplayer and a fun single player (8/10)

Yah, they deserve my cash. I'll be buying Kameo too

- Tailor your Xbox 360 experience with a Custom Perfect Dark Zero Theme for the Xbox 360 Guide

Speaking of themes... has MS said whether or not users will be able to create their own themes?

 

[boutrosinit]

Absolutely agree. These guys clearly had passion for what they were doing and it showed. Best production extras EVAR!

 

[SuperPac]

So which PDZ press release is next? The one saying "OMFG, Rare finished it on time and we're as surprised as you!" or the "PDZ to lead tail end of launch window wave...in 2007."

 

[Thomper]

Speaking of themes... has MS said whether or not users will be able to create their own themes?

Nope, not as far as I know.

 

[Reilly]

I wonder what wallguy thinks about this...
