I work at a Game Crazy in Maryland and can also confirm that we have just received the PSN Cards in $20 and $50 denominations.
If you bought Qore Episode 3, you won't be getting in until around a week from now. Only annual subscribers and people who tricked GameStop into thinking that they're actually gonna buy the pre-order from them and not just use them for a beta code get in today.
Guess which one I did.
Or so the e-mail claims! I'm in! And it's freakin' AWESOME! Sony really has a top-notch line-up this quater! Let's hope the trend continues!
I live in Maryland and I can confirm that certain retailers have already begun to sell them. A buddy I work with is a real bargain hunter and he stumbled across LBP at a place called... umm... it was like "Soundgarden" or something... they sell CDs... I can't remember... and yes, I'm aware that's a band.... Anyway, he bought one there today for only $54.99 USD! I know, that sounds crazy. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see him playing it on my Friends List tonight. So there ...
They do, good sir.
But since Nintendo hasn't been manufacturing these games for a while now, a lot of new gamers have never played the original Pikmin titles or Metroid Prime titles. So, think of this as an opportunity for you to play some old favorites or things you never got to play back on the GCN without the hassle of finding them used.
Just so you know. Actually, out of all the pre-order gifts I've seen come and go, this is probably the best one yet. It's the full-length feature film -- for free! That's awesome.
But... considering I already own the film... I'm suddenly very interested by these Pyramid Head keychains....
...is the game far more difficult than some of the previous Mega Man titles, some of the "Challenges" in the game are absolutely sadistic! I'm glad I got the WiiWare version so there's no pressure to earn achievement points or trophies!
I still miss the charge shot and slide... oh well. DLC, anyone?
Sure thing. There's four ways to get into the beta in total: two grant "premiere" access and the other two will let you in after the premiere period is over. The two premiere methods are pre-ordering at GameStop or signing up for a Qore annual subscription, then accessing Episode 3. The two other ways are simply purchasing Qore Episode 3 or applying at the Resistance 2 website (although the latter method does not guarantee access). Hope that helps!
I stopped by today when I got off work and they indeed have them, at least here in Maryland. The vouchers they give aren't actually the "beta code" per se, but they're a code that you enter to into register.myresistance.net to sign up to receive the actual beta code whenever Insomniac decides to send 'em out. Good times.
...who doesn't understand how a bubble machine could produce sud balls that maintain their Kirby-esque construction all the way until they splat on the ground? Hell, this was one heck of a bubble machine -- wish I coulda been there to see it!
Either that, or this is Photoshopped. But then, that begs the question: what WAS the "celestial event" then? Plain old ordinary bubble machines?
Nintendo really knows how to appeal to them casual gamers.
This just made my day!
The cake is a lie?
The game isn't even out yet, and anyone who followed the Project Abraham ARG should already be able to tell that the story is going to have a much heavier focus in this game than the last, which is a good thing -- a very good thing. By the way, what does everyone make of the classified document that showed up on the ProjectAbraham.com portal page? If my calculations are correct, those long. and latt. lines fall right smack dab in the middle of Washington State. It HAS to be something to do wi...
You wouldn't believe how many parents think Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the devil and won't let their twelve-year-olds near it because of the Teen rating. Some of you might say it has enough violence to support the "T," but here's my counterpoint: look at effin' Madden! An Everyone rating? Football has numerous times been called "one of the most violent sports in America," and that alone, along with brutally tackling people until they sustain in-game injuries, isn't enough ...
Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did it have to be the pouch!? As a Game Crazy employee, I was heart-broken to hear that "the enemy" was getting the Kratos costume, but now it looks like I won't be getting Nariko either! I'll be getting a damn potato sack! Poo! So while everyone else will be playing, creating, and sharing while brandishing their Blades of Chaos and their Heavenly Swords, I'll be making a level full of giant, flaming LittleBigPouches via my PlayStation Eye to squish them ...
Holy crap... that is so not Snake and this is so not news.
Didn't we already find out this was a zombie game?
This patch wouldn't also happen to fix the horrible lag I experience in matches over six players, would it? I didn't think so. I work fine on Call of Duty 4, Resistance, and Warhawk, but MGO and Lost Planet I lag like crazy. It has to be a P2P VS. dedicated servers thing, I guess. No one knows of any solutions to this, do they? Besides getting cable-speed (which is out of the question)?
If we wanted to name h-games, we'd be here all day. I think they were going for a list of naughty games outside the orient. I've played that Jenna "game," if you wanna call it that. I'll stick with Biko 3.
Good catch, man! I was just in the middle of deciphering that and you beat me to it! That's definitely what it is. Perhaps we'll finally get an announcement in February?
