Sounds good. Thanks for your answer

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any answers for what most will consider a very noob question.

A friend of mine owns a game store and is hosting a Black Ops 2 tournament on launch day (I work there part-time, and am also wondering this, as I will be more or less conducting the tournament). We're not sure how to go about it, as both of us aren't really into shooters, but we're hoping to have a single-elimination tournament through one-vs-one, splitscreen deathmatches.

I can't seem to find any exact information as to whether this is possible or not for Black Ops 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sucks to hear that. :|

Oh well, at least you got your PS3 back. :D

Also, let this be a lesson to you : ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES. :P

P.S. I remember hearing the YLOD is just a corrupted HDD. You could have just gotten a new HDD or something like that. I think. O_O

Well, when I explained my situation to the rep, she told me that the system shutting down like that and the red light blinking is an indictation that an internal fan malfunctioned and part of the board overheated, because she said it's designed to shut down like that to prevent a fire (and further destruction of the PS3).

Oh man, tell me about it, IMO, it's a great online game for people who hate online games.

I personally do, but I love Warhawk, because there's always more fighting and playing then there is little kids talking a bunch of crap over the mic.

That's right, my 60GB PS3 died in the middle of a game of Warhawk. It was strange, it was booting me from online games left and right last night, and I get it to work today, and about 15 mins into a game, my PS3 shuts down with a blinking red light.

I turn it back on and it boots up again, I get about 5 mins into a warhawk game and it shuts down again. So I let it sit for about 10 mins. Fire it back up and within a minute it freezes on the XMB and I get the dreaded Yellow Light of Death. I purchased it back in Feb. '07, it was manufactured in jan. '07, so it's WAY past it's warranty, and now, after a half hour on Sony support line and $160 later, I am getting a box shipped to me and HOPEFULLY I'll have my PS3 back within a few weeks. But it gets worse.

I'm not so mad that it broke, because hey it happens, and they guaranteed me another 60GB backwards compatible model if mine can't be fixed, but the real bombshell is that they format the friggin hard drive!!!! And it sucks so bad because I had it filled with 55GB of PS1, PS2 and PS3 saves, Game Data, about 10GB of music that I was barely able to recover from a busted 200GB computer HDD (that I stupidly never put back on my new HDD, mind you), and now I have to re-install every game I play, lost all my Soul Calibur 4 Data, my MGS4 data, and my PSN games I have to re-download and re-install. GRRR!!!!

I guess on the bright side, Sony was VERY helpful, and I've heard they waste no time getting your PS3 back to you once it's sent out, can anyone share with me how long it took to get theirs back if they sent it in? Anything would be nice to hear.

Fatal Frame was scary.KratosKratos

Fatal frame was VERY scary, especially Fatal Frame 3. Taking that ghost girl's picture while she brushing her hair...gives me chills just thinking about it. Fatal Frame 1 and 2 delivered spooks, but the third one was downright scary. That's one of those types of horror that has a lasting effect in your head. Like when I'm done playing it and I go down my hallway to go to bed, the images of the ghosts up close is enough to make you look behind you a couple of times.

Fatal Frame set the standard for me in horror games, and it's gonna be hard to top that one in my book. I'm not thrilled to hear that FF4 is gonna be released on Wii, because you know they're gonna tone it down. But the FF games scared the crap outta me, and the only other game to even come close with that type of thrill was Eternal Darkness.

I just flat out wouldn't trade it in at all. Gamestop I will say is kinda highway robbery with their trade ins, and avoid buying that expensive rare gem there too. If you've got a Game Crazy nearby, go there to buy instead. I once almost bought Eternal Darkness from gamestop for almost $40, and I got it at Game crazy for $10.

gamestop tends to take into account how rare a game is when it comes to their pricing. Game crazy will usually just take the age of the game into account, and given that Eternal Darkness was form '02, they priced it $10, because it's almost 6 years old.

Well, to each their own I guess.

47 games....that's just...wow. You better hope there weren't some rare gems in that 47 game collection.

I just bought a GC from Gamestop for $30, and picked some old favorites, and a few gems, like Eternal Darkness, Skies of Arcadia, MGS: Twin Snakes, the RE re-make. and almost all of those games were more money than the system. I have a feeling that GC software is gonna go up in value. Given the few great titles it had, they were VERY great titles, VERY rare, and therefore worth a nice chunk of change.

I can guarantee you that if you took all of that into a Gamestop or Game crazy, you could've walked out with maybe $150-$200 cash, or maybe even about $250 in credit to pick up something else.
