Is that $1200 you made (ie the guy bought it for $1800 and you earn $1200 after deducting the $600 you bought the system with) or is that $1200 that the guy bought it with?

Yeah the person bought it for $1,800 so i ended up making a $1,200 profit.

damn, the rich get richer lol.

Ha ha, I wish i was rich, I just lucked out. You know who's rich, the people that buy these systems when they're way overpriced.

Aha! Here`s the question, how long did you wait and would you have made the same money working for a week?
Ok, I actually saw a PS3 yesterday in Shibuya.
It`s fucking huge.
Seriously.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE
But I saw a video of what it can do with the eye thing and a card game.
Holy crap.
Besides Heavenly Sword or whatever it
s called, it
s the first nonThis is a famous series being continued
game on PS3 I`ve seen that made me smile.It`s basically Yu Gi Oh come to life.
-
Indeed, Heavenly Sword looks awesome. It's definitely been in my sights. Looks like it'll be quite a suitable replacement for GOW and a good game in it's own right.
And yes, I hear the PS3 is roughly the size of the first Xbox.
-
So do we get to make "huge like the PS3" jokes now?
Oh well, at least it has the performance to go with the size.
-

It's going to take alot more than that game to beat GOW, I'm not even sure if mgs4 will be better(obviously the story will be) than GOW graphics and gameplay.
The fact that it has been designed for 2 people having a full co-op single player online mode is what gives it even more of an edge
-
I believe the goal is 1 million.
Captain,
I could of swore they're original goal was 2 million…
Did they change it over nightor did i read it wrong somewhere...
-
U misunderstand, by GOW I meant God of War, NOT Gears of War. As for Gears of War, I've played it, it's quite overrated. And the multiplayer with the exception of Co-op is lacking. However it is a great game, just not worth the hype.
And MGS4 will most assuredly be better as witnessed by the trailer that showed actual gameplay.

Oh right misunderstood ya, GOW is the best game I've played in a while if your a shooter fan this is basically gold. I love the multiplayer it's awesome going round chainsawing people to pieces and it's really addictive.
About MGS4 I have also seen it it doesn't look groundbreaking at all, graphics are good but their still using old texturing in alot of places. MGS4 will kill GOW in the story department though and has different gameplay. GOW is about attacking and taking cover, MGS is hiding with a few action scenes so we have uncompareable gameplay.
I can't forget God of War I had a great time playing that game the amount of violence is on par with GOW and gameplay is like devil may cry a great combination
-
About MGS4 I have also seen it it doesn't look groundbreaking at all
I don't care if a MGS game splits a crack in the earth's crust right and straight down to the very core.
I play for the story for that series.
BTW, anyone know the card game I was talking about??
Nine something or other. It actually makes me want to play a damned card game.
-
Not to diss Gears of War, but it's nowhere near groundbreaking either. If memory serves me, there was a game called Kill.switch a while ago that played just like Gears of War, but everyone likes to pretend that it doesn't exist for some odd reason. GOW is an excellent game, but much of the hype comes from graphics. With that said, I will be buying it when I get a 360.
Anyways, I'm with Greg on this one, MGS4 will be mostly for the story, but the gameplay trailer I saw looks like the series will be improving on gameplay as well. Which is always fine with me.
-
I played killswitch it was ok, problem is it was nothing special epic took that idea and made it into something big.
MGS4 still seems to have its old movement system and it looks outdated and the graphics aren't as good as GOW. But don't get me wrong I like MGS games, I'm just saying GOW is that damn good. It's ranked the 16th best game ever on gamerankings and I don't think that's a coincidence.
Like said before these two games cannot be compared, the only things you can compare are graphics and story because the gameplay is completely different on both games. So like i said before MGS4 story will be really complex while GOW'S story is like an B-Movie. But in the graphics department GOW is better than MGS4 and to a shooter or arcade gameplay fan GOW will be better. For a person who likes to watch long cutscenes and spend time sneaking around then MGS4 is for them
-
and the graphics aren't as good as GOW.

Namco Must Sell 500,000 on PS3 to Break Even
Hardware shortages might make that a wee bit difficult.

We aren't exactly sure how many PlayStation 3s Sony's managed to push through North America and Japan yet, but we're positive it's not enough to help Namco Bandai break even on Ridge Racer 7 and Gundam development. Speaking to Bloomberg, the publisher said they need to sell more than 500,000 copies worldwide to come out ahead on the racing sequel.And that's not just the case with launch games, either. Namco Bandai President Takeo Takasu says that will be the case for every PlayStation 3 game they release.
Both games sold approximately 30,000 copies on day one in Japan. There aren't any figures available for North American sales of either game, but considering the most purchased games were Resistance: Fall of Man and Madden NFL 2007, chances are neither will be burning up the charts.
You have to wonder how much they lost on Ridge Racer 6, then. Ouch.
quick how many PS3's were even available at launch?

Yeah. Worldwide.
It's not a huge deal to be a million-seller anymore. And let's face it. That Gundam game isn't exactly worth the price tag.
Of note EA claims their sales are up since the release.

if we're talking about games no you're right it isn't a big deal to sell one million
if its in a short timespan then Yes it is
consoles is a whole different can of worms though, D:but yeah other then that
-
then if you think about it for the smaller 3rd party companies that were thinking about developing for the PS3

Gotta love those Sony manager people.
On a more serious note, everyone hear about the guy that was killed because he attempted to steal a PS3?
-
Actually….I think that's a VERY accurate assessment and a VERY true statement. I dunno why he's getting flack for that because it's the first thing out of either company that doesn't sound like manufactured horsecrap.
-

I concur. It's just a man's opinion. Fanboys need to stop getting so bent out of shape over trivial matters.
-
Well here's the thing.
I don't get why anyone has any reason to complain about that.
He says the Wii is more "fun".
….has that been proven untrue?
I mean Hellen Keller with a blindfold on could see how much fun Wii is. I mean you get to do shit.
Therefore shouldn't Wii people be happy?
And furthermore, I wanna play games like Resident Evil, Metal Gear, FF, Kingdom Hearts etc. for the story and whatnot, I don't care how 'fun' it is to play. And by fun I mean, I don't wanna be giggling like a schoolgirl waving a remote, I just wanna sit down, zone out and lose myself in a wicked story while doing awesome things. Wii IS more fun but with the kinds of software we see present, I just can't help but admit I like the software Sony offers for its storylines.
If Nintendo suddenly starts pumping out 'realistic' (in a video game way) hardcore experiences (like they did with RE4!!!) then I'll say the same thing about them.
But for the time being I don't give two shyts WHY Zelda or Samus are collecting abilities. I just wanna collect 'em. Because it's fun.
In the meantime, isn't it ironic that in a game called Red Steel with guns and katana…....there's no red substance oozing from dead bodies?
With the kind of shit people give Dub Piece you'd think they'd be all over that.

Just answered your own question my good man.

How the hell is resident evil realistic?
-
@Le:

I've heard a couple of stories about shots being fired during the launch (In fact, I live about 25 minutes away from a Best Buy where there was a pretty violent riot), but not any deaths….
-
How the hell is resident evil realistic?
….are you serious?
You must have missed where I wrote realistic like this: 'realistic' and where I wrote:
(in a video game way)
If further clarification is needed, I'll be happy to draw a picture.
-

What the hell is 'realistic' in a video game way? So is sonic also 'realistic' in a video game way, I mean he jumps on people heads you can do that in real life if you want.
Something realistic is a simulation like Gran turismo.
Oh one more thing Zelda is probably the best game ever made so dissing that shows you have no taste
-
He wasn't dissing Zelda…. but Zelda TP I can still feel can be improved and far from the best game EVAR, but I think it's pretty great.
Realistic, I think you're missing the picture OneINCHpunch. If you refer to Greg's post prior to that, he was speaking of games with fantastic storylines. You know. Not kiddy storyline stuff. The closest thing Nintendo's got to that kind of thing is probably Zelda or Metroid.
-
so dissing that shows you have no taste
Are you trying hard to lose arguments?
Furthermore where did I say anything negative about Zelda?
You said one thing correct.
GT is a realistic racer in its genre compared to say, Ridge Racer or Midnight Club.
Therefore in a FPS genre, games which involves shooting and chopping other people, one might expect it to be realistic by, say for instance, blood to make a cameo.
I simply cannot bring myself to insult you. It simply doesn't seem fair/right.

People who insult others online are just cowards, how could i possibly take insult from a coward?
I know what your saying but the way you said it was wrong.
-
I see nothing wrong with what Greg posted at all. He conveyed his thoughts clearly and politely so I don't see why this argument even exists. And for the record, I believe you insulted Greg first by saying he has no taste. Let's try to be civilized about this discussion of videogames, please. No need to resort to insults.
-
People who insult others online are just cowards, how could i possibly take insult from a coward?
Wait….where did I insult you?
I mean, you're the one who said:

Just quit while you're ahead please. Your comments are really not bringing this anywhere. You haven't even bothered to defend/argue/debate the points I brought up.
-
Well if that to you people is an insult it wasn't meant to be, i was just standing up for a game i believe is brilliant (The way commented about the game just seemed disrespectful in my eyes)
"If further clarification is needed, I'll be happy to draw a picture." I could have seen this as an insult but decided not to.
Look who is misinterpreting my post i was just agreeing with there being no point in insulting people and people who do are cowards.
Your right it is going nowhere it was just a misinterpretation of your opinion i think we should leave it at that.
-
i was just standing up for a game i believe is brilliant
Why did you need to stand up for something that wasn't attacked? I actually praised it.
"If further clarification is needed, I'll be happy to draw a picture." I could have seen this as an insult but decided not to.
I very literally meant that. I already started drawing the zombie with his brains on a wall.
Thank you. We now return to our regularly scheduled debate on why Sony is the Anti-Chrst. I mean, Sony's Hit and Misses. ^O^
-
Disrespect for a game? I didn't know they had feelings.
On topic though: when MGS4 comes out, I expect alot of people to get PS3s. Obviously most will wait for a price drop though.
-
@Kidany:

Yes, games have feelings. Just wait until the PS8 & Wii4 hit the market.
-

I'm all over that like white on rice.
If for some unholy reason the game sucks then I suppose I can hold off for a Final Fantasy or Resident Evil 5 (where the hell has that game gone anyway??) but it's Metal Gear with Kojima so somehow….I can't see that happening.
Speaking of which...Portable Ops is out this week.
-

When you disrespect a game you disrespect the developer, but enough about that who cares anymore
About MGS4 yeah people will probably get a ps3 for this game but i think the majority will wait for price drops.
What do you people think about sony's new HD movie download service?
I think it may be a mistake because if your going to sell a bluray player in the console and then offer cheaper downloads wouldn't that make bluray take a hit? -
@ Greg
Yeah I'm just hoping the story for MGS4 is just as epic as 1 or 3; 2 I didn't really have alot of problems with, just it seemed too "out-there" for my taste. Take it as you will.I haven't really heard alot on the FF coming out for PS3 though.
-
MGS2 felt like an experiment.
Which is essentially what it was. It was designed to make you sit back and go:
"Oh yeah…I'm playing a game to practice killing. Kinda like that movie Toys."
Not a bad thing though.
Hey, 9.0 for Portable Ops. Me likey. I'd make a thread but I don't think those of us who own a PSP (both of us) would generate that much discussion ^O^
-
Damn, I may have to buy a PSP. I wanna play Portable Ops badly. I wanna see exactly how Big Boss becomes the guy we know from the original Metal Gear. Not to mention, it's gonna be online. MGS3 was a start, but this will be the finish.
@Greg: It'd probably be better if you just make an official MGS thread since most people don't own a psp.
-
Precisely my point ^O^ I don't think it needs much discussion though.
ANYWAY YEAH PS3 GUY SHOT HOLY CRAP.
Yeah. I feel sorry for the dog…why's it always have to be the dog T^T

I always felt like Raiden was supposed to be the player themself. Since he was a soldier trained in VR Simulations, basically playing a game. And what is the player doing, the same thing. Besides because you already played as Snake, the well-known battle-hardened soldier, it wouldn't really add alot to the story if you played as him again.
But yeah I'm considering getting Portable Ops. I hope it gives more background on Big Boss. I mean we already know about why he turned his back on the government. I'd like to see how he went about doing it before he set Outer heaven in Metal Gear for NES.
Anyways I'm getting off-topic here sorry.
The day PS3s came out where I live, a bunch of dumbass people ended up arrested for trying to steal them from people walking out the stores. Crazy what people will do just for a system.
-
Damn, you guys are right. I forgot Portable Ops was a part of the main story.
I gotta get a PSP for that.
-
Isn't RE5 on 360 aswell?
i doubt the difference will be big enough to warrent a purchase of a ps3i mean MGS4 ALONE WARRENTS THAT PURCHASE
and whats all this i've been hearing about TP?
its like |-| THAT CLOSE TO BEING THE BEST ZELDA GAME EVER!!!111one
cocks shotgunnow back to talking about the ps3
-
I mean Hellen Keller with a blindfold on could see how much fun Wii is.
XD I'm sorry greg. You just made me laugh. did you realize what you just wrote here. lol. Would it not be better to say Hellen Keller with her hands tied behind her back?
I can't wait to see this realistic picture of zombie brains all over the wall lol. I'm gonna put it next to e1n's picture of how his exam went.
-
XD I'm sorry greg. You just made me laugh. did you realize what you just wrote here. lol. Would it not be better to say Hellen Keller with her hands tied behind her back?
Well, that's the point. She was blind. And even with a blind-fold on she can "see" how fun the Wii is. ^_~
Isn't RE5 on 360 aswell?
Sony exclusive last I heard but anything could change. I'm definitely not one of those people who cares about exclusive titles. If everything I wanted came out for Wii, then I'd prolly just buy a Wii. But….since there's such a gap in power this time between 360/PS3 & the Wii, I dunno how many multi-platform games we'll be seeing this round.
-
As long as Wesker ends up being in this new RE game I'll be happy. It was awesome playing as him in RE4. I just wonder when they'll give any info on the game. To see if they fixed some of the problems that the other games had.
