wait, so you are trying to exploit their welcome back program in an effort to get MORE free games, than the $60 worth of free games they were already giving you for free anyways, yet you are mad at them? :?

StrongDeadlift

I read a lot of the same games over and over here, obviously there arent THAT many franchises that are big enough where they make enough games that we are sick of them - but that are big enough we think will be able to come back in five years.

Some like Tony Hawk, well in 5 years i dont think he will be big enough to return really will he? Has he done much as a celebraty lately? I think by then it will just be some new guy or a hover board game or something. Or people say pokemon, and i agree the handheld games need to change up more or wait a bit (even though they still sell a ton), but what about a Pokemon game on the Wii? Like a real one (not Pokepark haha). That could be neat. So i dont know, i cant think of many that I want to not see for 5 years and hope they come back. But i do think there are a lot that either just need to stop or totally reinvent themselves (Fable, Star Wars games, etc). I dont want them to just put a 4 or 5 on a game box and expect me to keep buying it you know? But if you somehow made a good Star Wars game, i would be on board still :) Battlefront 3 maybe?

I did not see this up anywhere else, so it might just be me and my gal (computer) but I went and downloaded the 3 part SONY E3 conference (since i couldn't stream it for more than 2 minutes without it freezing on me last week) I got part 2 and 3 fine, but part 1 says its supposed to be like 28 minutes long, I went back and re-downloaded it 3 times now and its always only 9 minutes long! It cuts off WAY early. Why would mine do that? Or is everyone's? Maybe it is posted and i couldn't find it. Anyway, I am downloading it the "old fashioned way"... and speak of the devil, it was taking like 2 hours and it just timed out on me 21% of the way through. I guess i will skip the downloads for now :(

yeah most stores around me still have the 60GB in stock, but none are giving the free game deal .i found on walmarts website a free game and free remote deal, so i will do that one tonight, but i wish i could get that at best buy since i want to buy a 2 year warrenty... walmart.com doesnt have a warrenty as far as i can tell. so i wish best buy or ebgames... (sorry gamestop) would do this deal too!

You guys are talking about Best Buy having a wicked bundle with Heavenly Sword or a Controller or Lair coming with the 60GB? Well i would snap that up in a second.But as far as I can tell thats not going on at any Best Buys near me. My PS2 just broke about a month ago, so i NEED backwords comp. I NEED the 60GB (20s are gone). If you add the 5 blue ray movies they give, and a free game... Well that would be awesome (especially since the 80GB and 60GB are BOTH 499.99 at every store around here: toysrus, best buy, eb games, walmart, etc) So i wish they did have a bonus making the 60GB a better deal than the 80GB. But Im not finding it online or at the sotres. is this a sale that was on last week? Was it a special box that they are selling off and might be out of? is this a sale that starts Nov 4th? If anyone knows let me know!

Hey I have had this happen a few times, and I think its just me since i do not see other posts about it:

I am trying to watch On the Spot, but the sound is all choppy. It goes a few seconds then I hear nothing, goes a few seconds, nothing, you cant hear names of games etc... so it makes it almost unwatchable, last time that happened i had to go half way through and then the words were out of sync with video, i "rewound" and then it was fine. Last ion the spot was fine, but this weeks is doing it to me again.

AND

Same problem with video, I hear it when it plays in its window but all i see is black screen, if i right click and go to "full screen", then i get the video!Why would it not play small but only full screen. I got some kind of active X error when i loaded the page, but i dont know what active X is and as i said it worked fine last week, but I HAVE had this problem before as well :( Any help would be appreciated. i am going to restart computer see if that helps. i am on a wireless connection that is not super fast, but it playsfine 80% of the time s oi don't get it...

K, I fixed mine, i went and updated my videocard drivers AND more importantly got windows media player 10, i thought i had 11 running, but it checks to see if you have a licensed copy of windows running or it wont install, so i had to go back and find 10, now it works fine.

yeah i am also having this problem. I just bought a new LCD monitor, its a Samsung SyncMaster 204BW, it works great and i have no problems on myspace or youtube, but then I try to watch "On The Spot" and its all dark and solarized looking, I went through all monitor settings while watching, nothing helped, whats up!? Is it player incompatability? Im sure most people out there have LCDs now and they arent having this prob.
