i've always meant to get this when it was on the 360, especially when the had the 50% off sale for it, but i was too lazy to buy a points card at the time...i'm in no rush to play braid right now so i'll wait for a similar price drop for the ps3 version (unless the 360 one gets another sale first)...

I agree, I can't find myself wanting to buy it for that much, but I also know PSN games rarely get any significant price cuts (at least any ones I care about).

I'll have to make my own Japanese PSN account now, too. Hope that GAF thread works.

Question: I love God of War but was never in love with Devil May Cry. Considering its pedigree, I'm assuming Bayonetta is closer to DMC than GoW?

Machine gun and grenades.I took away her pistol when she refused to use her MG and all 300 bullets for it because she hadten 9mm bullets; why does she do that?

Too large for what? The forums, your blog? Which site is it from?

I had the same problem until my old TV cabinet broke. The secondhand one I use now doesn't have a back, but I'm afraidthat that will lead tomore dust. We all just need to be vigilante, I guess.

I just got a PS3 and I'm interested in Mega Man 9 and Penny Arcade Adventures. Anyone with any helpful thoughts?

Like most people on this thread I can't remember everythingI voted for. I know I didn't vote in every single group because I was clueless and had no right to vote in those in question, but I remember some:

Best DS Game (can't remember if I chose FFIV or Castlevania)
Best PS3 Game (MGS4, of course)
Most Surprisingly Good Game
Worst use of in game advertising (KFC in Guitar Hero? Really?)
Worst Game Everyone Played
Best Sports Game (NHL 09!)
Biggest News (I can't remember what I voted for there. Was FFXIII on 360 a choice?)
Game of the Year

Okay, here's my "dilemma":

I've held off on a "new" (note to self: welcome to 2006) console for a few years because I simply couldn't afford one, but I've been leaning towards a PS3: I wanna play MGS4, I bought Rock Band on PS2 so my controllers would be forward-compatible and when I asked for a wireless headset for Christmas I got the point across that it was to be Bluetooth so it could be PS3 compatible. However, Sony still hasn't grasped that "starting at $399" is NOT a good idea. Couple Resident Evil 5's imminent release (and its latest trailer) with a desire to finally "catch up" and to not to have to spend ridiculously beyond my means and I realize the 360 is the way to go, despite all the hardware issues I read about on a daily basis. I have questions:

1) How upgradeable is the Core/Arcade? Is there a fundamental hardware difference between it and the Pro, or is it, as I've read elsewhere, just a Pro with a missing hard drive and different connector wires? (I have only a standard-def TV at the moment.)

2) Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty 4/World at War, Halo 3, Fallout 3, NHL 09/'10, Rock Band 2 (if I can sell/trade my PS3 instruments), maybe Gears of War and Soul Calibur IV: alright wishlist?

3) Is a hard drive required for XBL? Or to be clearer, do I still get a gamer tag, gamerscore and all the other silly but fun B.S. if I only have an Arcade and XBL Silver? I know that DLC and online multiplayer need Gold.

4) Does one model of 360 (Arcade/Pro/Elite) tend to fail more often than any of the others?

5) Is the Arcade's flash memory removable like a memory unit or is it ingrained into the system?

6) What's the maximum length of time I should spend on one play session if I'm truly concerned about the RRoD?

"Wii" must mean "huge disappointment" in some ancient, extinct language. I hoped to love it when it was revealed two years ago, and now I'm tempted to beat the stupid out of anyone who suggests I buy one when I see one.
