Two questions...
1. Do Xbox 360 Platinum Hits and/or PS3 Greatest Hits have reversible covers?
2. If you set your PS3 system language to Japanese and play the US version of Heavy Rain, does the game get presented in Japanese?

So I was offered one of the old 360 models with 2 controllers, a harddrive ( i stupidly didn't ask how big), battery charger, extra battery packs(?) for $150. Is it worth it?
I'm not worried about RROD because I don't plan on playing it much. I'm only interested in Alan Wake and perhaps L4D2 (assuming its campaign is worth it... is it?).

Why don't more games use larger FOV?
Has anyone ever had their Dragon Quest IX sort of glitch up to the point where they can't save? I was just wandering around, and suddenly most of the text became gibberish, including text on the top screen in battles, and any dialogues with NPCs. Now I'm stuck because I tried talking to a church NPC to save and I'm in an infinite loop because the yes/no dialogue option doesn't appear when I choose the save option in his menu.

My house mate has made a Live account on my Xbox,, only it won't let him get a free Gold trial. Why not?
EDIT: We did it on Xbox Live, and I've already had 3 accounts activate on my Xbox. Relevant?

How is Dragon Age: Origins on the PS3 (no, I don't have a gaming computer)? I've heard good things about the game, but mostly from the PC version. I've never played a game like this before, but it seems interesting.

I played through it on my PS3 and had no problems. Loved the game. PC would be preferable, but I was in the same boat as you were and settled for a console version.

Some people have shitty taste, some people have good taste. Some people avoid criticizing others in the name of civility, some people love to throw that civility out the window (thankfully!).
Happens with every forum I've ever seen on any topic ever. I see it a bunch in person, too.
"Dude-bro" works as a goofy descriptor for macho first person shooters, but I would so make fun of anyone using the term "low-brow gaming."
Of course, the whole point is pleasure, yeah. But there are degrees of pleasure. There are good games and there are VERY good games. There are bad games and there are awful games. This is based entirely on how entertaining they are. This is not based on things like "experiences" or "messages."
Why do I do stupid dances when I win in Street Fighter if the game isn't emotional? Why am I tense as hell after losing to the final boss in Assault Suits Valken? How is it that some people can consistently win in Street Fighter/Strikers and others cannot if the games don't provoke thought?
It's as if you don't know what "emotional" and "thought provoking" mean, but figure that they sound good.

My newest credit card can't be entered onto my Xbox account BY ANY MEANS. Who do I contact to do it for me?
Good thread.
Question regarding the retail RDR Undead Nightmare Collection:
Can the contents of the disc be installed to Xbox 360 HDD and accessed through the original RDR disc as DLC would? The reason I ask is I'm wondering if I'll have to switch discs to go from playing for 100% in the original campaign to playing online poker games that got tied into one of those multiplayer packs rather than being in a title update.
I'm seeing Black Friday sales for $21.99 so it would be nice if I could just get this stuff from the disc and not have to deal with re-downloading if I ever delete it for space.

Who is the biotech bitch now?
How do amputees play games? When I was in school, there was a guy that was in the army and got sent to Iraq. He was there less than a week and his group hit an IED. His right arm had to be amputated below the elbow and he lost the tip of his left thumb and a couple fingers. He's a big game though. Especially RPGs. I could understand playing most RPGs with one had, but he said he loved the Tales series. I never did ask him how he could play it because I thought that would be too rude.

In the Remake "MGS: The Twin Snakes" on the Gamecube...Why the hell do Mei Ling, Naomi Hunter, and Nastasha Romanenko from Metal Gear Solid on PS1 lose their respective accents (Chinese, British, Russian) even though the voice actors for said roles on both PS1 and GCN versions are the same?

My friend's Xbox showed a red quarter-circle (NOT the RROD) and a system error, but when I rebooted it was fine. Should I be concerned or does it happen every blue moon?

Need some help making my next console purchase:
I currently own a first-gen Xbox 360 (so no HDMI, and it's loud) with no PS3. Now, I can't decide whether I should get a PS3 or 360 slim.
My primary reason for wanting a new 360 is that mine is extremely loud, has a small hard drive, and doesn't have an HDMI port. But the thing is, I hardly play games anymore. I only ever borrow games from friends these days, but I often use my 360 for Netflix streaming.
I'm weary of getting a PS3 because I'd rather just have one console, but it's hard to resist all of the media options: Vudu, Netflix, Blu Ray, etc. Should I just bite the bullet and get a PS3, or stay with the console I've already invested in? I have NO interest in gaming on the PS3. I'd probably buy one without hesitation if I wasn't worried my 360 was running on borrowed time at this point.

But gaming isn't terribly important to me at this point, and I could always go back to my old 360 as long as it still works. I can't decide if I want Blu Ray or not. Netflix HD streaming has been serving me pretty well thus far.

Here's a stupid question:
I've relied on two sites to determine the likelihood of a game getting a release date or if there's a release pending: Gamespot (the old Ziff-Davis site, not GameSTOP) and Google. Google is a mess of often worthless results. Gamespot has lost it and is obviously in the pocket of big business now and I only ever go there to read the odd review.
Is there a definitive site for release speculation and confirmation? Giant Bomb? Somewhere else?

But then I'll have to pay more for Netflix, and I am on a college budget. Decisions, decisions.

Err, I meant if I wanted to get Blu Ray discs via Netflix. It isn't a huge added expense, but still.
I guess I'm leaning toward the PS3 at this point, but this means I'll probably leave my 360 at my parents' house once I switch apartments. I doubt I'll have time to play stuff anyway. Bummer.

I really want to get one of those cables that let you play your console games on the computer. I'd like it mostly for my Wii, but it would be nice to have it for my 360 as well. I know next to nothing about these (I think they're called VGA cables) but where do they get plugged in on the computer and what is the price range??

I don't know too much about them myself but I did get one for the 360 before I had an HDTV and let me tell you... buy an official one. I bought some third party one and it was always loose. I ended up taping it to my 360 until I just gave up and went back to SD before I went HD.

When you disguise you equip their primary weapon by default. If you hit the "B" key you can switch the weapon being held currently (in appearance), but as the game makes no indication of the switch (at least the last time I checked) there's no way to verify unless you ask a player on the opposing team. I've never personally verified this but it appeared as a tip on the loading screen once.

The MvDK game on the GBA was more or less a modern evolution of the Donkey Kong formula. The rest of the MvDK's are puzzle games in the vein of Lemmings.Quixzlizx said:
