And yes, I'm aware of emulators. They are all well and good for games I can't get a hold of.Tell a man there are 300 Billion stars in the universe and he’ll believe you.
Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to touch to be sure.

I just got my PS3 last December. Man, I am way out of the loop.
Maybe I'll get a PS4 for my birthday in May. I'm in no rush though. I have GTA V and Lollipop Chainsaw to entertain me still.

I used to play a lot of PC games in the past but right now the only PC game I play is The Sims. I do horrible, horrible things in that game.
If you'll excuse me, I need to go make popcorn in preparation for all the release day SC stories.
I probably should post those stories of mine I have saved up too >.>

Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostNope. I still play games on a desktop PC. I have an older PC running MS-DOS 6.22 just for older games..

Quoth Opalin View PostI wish all of us currently in the US the best over the next week and a half, as the new consoles release and everyone tries their very best to get them. So far in my store I've had:
At least six people insisting I must have them in the back room, and that I should sell them when I get them, since the games are right there, on the wall. <snip>

Quoth Gizmo View Postanother here.... can't stand console controllers! Never got used to them.
So let me ask for advice: assume I'm planning to get other games besides D3. What version of the X box 360 should I get (in terms of storage space).They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

Quoth Magic And Pancakes View PostI just got my PS3 last December. Man, I am way out of the loop.
He's more excited this year about the 500 GB PS3 than the PS4 . . . and yes, he's got one on layaway at Wally that I'll have to pick up next month.
Which will work out fine . . . I'm taking the 320GB one for my office and I'm going to learn to use it.
We've never understood the hoopla about buying something new right when it comes out . . . wait long enough and you can get it on sale - and as a plus, you know the store will have plenty on hand so you don't have to deal with rainchecks or out of stock issues.
We're also the ones who laugh at those who camp out overnight so they can be first in line. I enjoy my new iPhone 4s that I paid 99 cents for from my wireless company than I would have if I'd spent 99 dollars on the 5c or 199 for the 5s.
Plus I didn't have to camp out and look like a moron and risk pnuemonia of the butthole (as my late Grandma would say) just for bragging rights.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Hoo boy, do I have a launch story. Not a sucky customer one, though, but let me tell you, the retailers are going to be needing ALL of your prayers.
So! Mr. Bells works for a video game developer that makes a popular MMO. Last night, as an early Christmas bonus, they somehow got their hands on over three hundred PS4 consoles and handed them out to the entire staff.
Awesome right?
Well we ran out for some accessories/games, plugged it in and got the setup out of the way. Popped in our first disc and ... it crashed. Refused to turn back on. Unable to boot in safe mode. Unable to contact Sony's customer service. Booted out of the chat queue three times.
Today we discovered there's a Sony store in the city about 30 minutes (and two bridge tolls) away. They're willing to swap it out for us even though we don't have a receipt. So off we go into the parking lot nightmare from hell. The dudes in the store are awesome, swap us out, and they say all the defective units are coming from Amazon so we'll be fine now.
You can see where this is going right? Yeah, console #2 refused to even turn on. BACK in the car, BACK across the bridge, BACK into the somehow even more crowded parking lot. And this time there's 2 other people in the store trying to return defective consoles. The dude behind us got the last one - or at least I hope he did, god knows if they had any more that actually worked. THIS time we had them take it out of the box and test it before we left.
The guys at the store were awesome; one of them even offered his own pre-ordered console if he couldn't get us a working one out of stock. But if this is as big a problem as it appears, it's going to be a really bad week for the retailers.
