I'd have to hit AT LEAST the $100 mark for me.
Refurb or not, I'm not out to waste my money unless the problem is ABSOLUTELY fixed.
A disagree???
Why???
HOW(0_o)???
that besides the size, the features that Blu-ray offers (and HD DVD used to offer) goes beyond what is possible on DVD's.
It's nice and inspiring to say that it can be done, but as someone said b4, too little too late.
What game is that? I'm buyin' it!!
Something about a carwash???
I couldn't aggree with you more.
The game did manage to sell some crazy numbers, but if Sony hadn't dropped the ball (or in this case, deciding to not even picking the ball up) the game would have sold MUCH better.
Ok Sony, let's think about this for a sec. Metal Gear is probably the most cinematic and story driven action game ever. One could only speculate that this game MIGHT have some lasting appeal to people who would probably enjoy a good action movie.

Of course sales are not going to be as high the first week. An 800% increase for a system as pricey as the PS3 is nothing less than a phenomenal accomplishment for any game to achieve single handedly.
But those numbers was just the releasing of the floodgates of the fans who have been waiting for the release day to hit. There's no way those numbers would stay that high for long.
I think the important thing to note here is that the PS3 is still selling more than twi...
A little while ago, there was a post asking if MGS4 really was a system seller. I responded, saying that I think that's a stupid question to ask at this point. I go SO many disagrees (0_o;)
I guess now those b!tc#e$ know what I mean, huh?
Is this NOT a stupid question to ask at this point???
Who approved this?
Maybe you should just talk to Otacon...
EA must be looking at that strategy like
"Huh??? ... I don't get it..."
Only if it was being produced by Sony Europe...
Let's see...
No Afrika...check.
No Getaway...check.
No Eight Days...check.
No Heavenly Sword 2...check.
Um...Is Sony Europe even releasing games anymore?
Better question: Is Sony Europe actually being paid by Microsoft???
Whether they were needed or not, these were 4 HIGHLY anticipated games cancelled in about a week! All for their "new direction". I think those Europe guys are making some BAD decisi...
Ok, reguardless of the game, its understandable Halo would be on this list simply because Halo is like the Mario of Xbox. But I don't think that FANBOYS have been given too great an impression of Halo3. Hell, I have a 360 and even I've changed my mind about getting it.
It honestly could be a great game, but the majority of what I see on the net gave me the impression that Halo3 made a lot of its sales by simply riding the wave of its own hype tsunami.
NOTE: I w...
I've actually talked to quite a few of my gamer friends about this a while ago. A lot of people didn't buy MGS3 here in Japan because the story of MGS2 was so difficult to understand. Part 2's story actually chased a lot of Japanese gamers away from part 3. This is unfortunate because, although 2 is my personal favorite, I think MGS3 has a much easier to understand and, in that way, a better written story than 2 did.
Some of these friends I talked to have since played 3 and ...
FIRE YOSHIDA!!!
I agreed with you every time you told people to READ THE TITLE (^o^)b
I feel EXACTLY the same way about GTA4. But I think that there is a difference between a game that get's a high score because of being a good game and one that gets it because of game politics.
Bottom line is that I never listened to game critics before, and I REALLY don't trust them now. ESPECIALLY after those GTA4 scores.
Now that we can download free demos of every game under the sun, I REALLY don't see the point of listening to critics.
But honestly ...
someone who doesn't have one?
Honestly tho, if there was a free PSP and a free DS sittin' in front of me, and I could get my mitts on one of them, no doubt about it I'd snatch that PSP!
But I guess that's just me huh?
Somebody tell GameTrailers that MGS4 is ACTUALLY a 360 game in disguise!!!
Come on Frag, that's like saying what game is ever gonna be bigger than a DVD...
