Oh, very much so. (Incidentally, I'm getting that and the LocoRoco game. Don't care about the stress one or LBP and I already own Patapon 2 on disc in English.)

Also, I believe that's actually Hustle Kings, not Hustler King.

Woo! Now to lug my old-gen PS3 "into town" for the sole purpose of getting inFAMOUS and maybe some random DLC.

**** Sony. When is this "80710D36" nonsense going to be over?

Mother****er. After leaving my PS3 Phat at my dad's business overnight to download inFAMOUS and another game, I come in this morning and find the system crashed at 64%. Now, when I turn it back on, no buttons on the system or controller work, and all I get is a blank XMB background. For those unaware, something pretty similar to this happened in the past, and I went through hell trying to fix it... but I'm not even sure I can remember what I did. So now what?

Anyone ever notice how XBLA has awesome new games week after week while PSN gets stuff that came out weeks, months, or literally years ago on other platforms?

Thinking about priceless games like Flower usually stays me from bringing this up but the last couple months have been ridiculous.

Microsoft cares more about their tertiary platform than Sony does about theirs, I guess.

On the subject of 360 stuff: is the Gears of War 3-branded Xbox 360 that comes out next month worth an extra hundred dollars over the standard 250GB model? It includes a 320GB hard drive, the standard edition of GoW3 (note that I haven't played the first two but would be buying that recent "Triple Pack" to remedy such), two GoW3-branded controllers, and "exclusive system sounds" that I'd probably turn off immediately if possible.

Sounds like no, then. The only real bonus is the bigger hard drive, which you likely won't need. 250 is a lot of gigs for a 360.

It's still literally impossible to change your credit card info on PSN. Since my registered card expired in April (on the verge of the hacking lol), to download a PSP game today I had to buy a PSN code off Amazon.

LOL

So I was looking through my "to-buy" list of 360 stuff just now.

I have forty games on that list.

With at least another thirty-six on the XBLA side of things.

Can someone, I don't know, lend me some time? I don't think I'm going to have enough of my own to play all those games. Especially not if I break down and start hunting the 'chieves.

(On a completely counterintuitive note, those of you who play 360 games online should all buy things like WarTech, Guilty Gear 2: Overture, and Battle Fantasia so I have people to play those with. They're all cheap now, but the only people I know who own any of them are n-fani, who lives a couple of landmasses and an ocean away, and Jim, who doesn't play shmups or like Guilty Gear.)

I just found out you can't gift games on XBLA.

Nintendo has let Wii owners gift WiiWare and Virtual Console games for years.

Nintendo offers something useful on their online service that Microsoft doesn't offer on theirs.

What.

Sony's upcoming mandatory PS3 update removes the right to join in a class-action lawsuit.

The sad part is, this is probably totally legal.

That, or Sony is putting waaaaay too much faith into the legal power of an EULA. Someone needs to tell their lawyers those things are null and void if they cause legal conflicts (as with the OtherOS debacle).
