    Really getting into Dead Rising 2 now, knowing where everything is and how to combine it really helps.

    It's definitely not as deep of as high quality as Zelda. Definitely feels like a slightly cheaper clone, but still fun. I'd recommend picking it up cheap if you can.

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/best-buy-charges-30-for-ps3-firmware-update-laughs-all-the-way/#disqus_thread

    " In case you hadn't noticed by now, Best Buy's Geek Squad isn't always the most scrupulous sort, but their latest attempt to upsell consumers is truly off the charts. We've confirmed for ourselves that the Staten Island, NY store is offering 120GB PS3 Slims for $329.98, explaining away the surcharge as their fee for a firmware upgrade. In case you've never booted up a PS3 yourself, let us explain the sheer ridiculousness at work here: a system update requires about three button presses, and some discs prompt you automatically. Hell, if you want to play online or access the PlayStation Store, you don't even have a choice -- ever since Other OS got Sony's goat, firmware updates have been mandatory across the board. Still, it's hard to say no when Best Buy employees are this polite -- when we explained to a rep that we already had a PS3, he graciously offered us an update anyhow... for just $29.98. "


    all i can say is bestbuy should be put in the corner.

    The moment you bring it home, the next update will have made your firmware version obsolete. :rolleyes:

    That is so wrong. Geek Squad is such a sham.. I usually go to Fry's but unfortunately the stores are always such a mess.

    Great. I just can't wait for those idiots to start setting up stores across the UK.

    I think he's talking about New Vegas, which I'm also very excited for.

    Just got the L.E of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow! Have yet to crack it open, also just upgraded my hard drive, and went from a 60gb, to a 650GB! Very excited! :) Was overloaded with games, and had no more space, so finally had to make the change :)

    More excited for RB3 and Vanquish myself, but more than likely getting New Vegas too :)

    So... the thing about the PS3 not supporting HDD's larger than 500GB was... wrong? Maybe it's changed since an update or something? Come to think of it, maybe they just said it "probably" wouldn't support over 500, but it depended on several factors.

    Maybe it's like the 360's USB Drive support, where the drive can be whatever size you want it to be, but the partition on the drive is fixed; you can attach a 500GB external USB drive to the 360, but it will only partition 16GB of that 500 for the 360's use.

    damn so many good games coming out this final quarter. Have you guys checked out NBA 2K11? Looks great from the video, high review scores too.

    Playing sports in real life vs playing sports video games.

    Hmm.

    idk man, when I was younger I played real basketball almost everyday, and other sports. I also played Double Dribble, Major League Baseball and a ton of other NES sports video games often on the same days. I'm not sure what you're saying by your comment, I'm sure plenty of real sports players play sports video games, including many pros.
