If they tried this nonsense with me I'd make them refund my deposit and purchase the game elsewhere. Not like anyone needs another reason to avoid shopping at GameStop; I haven't bought a game from there in years. Amazon generally runs specials (with free shipping) on new releases and if you're not too impatient you can always score a used copy on eBay/Half within a few weeks for dirt cheap. Stop encouraging shady retailers, there are many superior alternatives.

I was gonna hold off on a lot of these recent titles until the holidays, but looks like I'm dropping some cash early...Now I just need to decide if I'd rather have Demon's Souls or Borderlands.

Wow, this game actually looks pretty cool. I never actually saw any gameplay footage until this video and it looks like it may be worth checking out. If the reviewer's assessment of it being like a hybrid Zelda/Diablo is accurate, this may turn out to be one of the better console dungeon-crawler RPGS to come out in a long time. Now if I only had an extra $60 to blow on games...

So wtf is this class? A revamped Paladin with hand-to-hand emphasis? Color me unimpressed. Where's my Amazon/Ranger class or Assassin? Let me guess...they'll be left for a later expansion so I can pay another $40 to be able to use them. Hooray for blizzard!

Wtf, the PS3:Slim has PS1 backwards compatibility? That's so random that it supports PS1 but not PS2. Doesn't affect me at all considering I have an original 60gig model, but if I ever opted for the Slim, it would be nice considering my PS1 library is much larger than my PS2 collection. Too bad it took three years for Sony to come to its senses with this model, I feel kinda burned having paid ~$600 for mine. For 300 though, it could be a justifiable second Blu-Ray player. I think this model a...

Very nice. Glad I didn't pick up MP:2/3 yet, it will be nice to play through MP:2 with the improved controls. Finally something good for Wii, I haven't bothered with much aside from PunchOut in the past few months.

Jesus, wtf. I'll probably have lost interest in even playing it by then (at least that's what I'll tell myself in protest of this news). Diablo is digital crack, I can't even kick my D2 habit...

Broken link? I can't seem to get that page to even begin to load.

Might pick up a PSP:Go if this game turns out to be good. I think it's a bit overpriced, but the design is slick and if the games are good, I might bite.

While I think BC is certainly a great feature, from personal experience it isn't a deal breaker. I bought my 60gb PS3 specifically because it had BC and I heard the newer 80gb models wouldn't have it. How much use have I actually gotten out of the BC? Well..not very much. I played about halfway into RE:2 and screwed around on Metal Gear VR Missions a bit, but aside from that, I haven't even thought about the fact that I have it. My experience may differ from those who were huge PS2 fans, as m...

If this doesn't hit PSN (which from the sound of it, it won't), I might have to finally break down and get a gold membership. Q3A is by far my favorite multiplayer FPS of all time.

Do want...never picked up MP2 or 3 for whatever reason and now I can get the entire series on one DVD with improved Wii controls; pretty legit package.

I don't see these price points being very alluring to consumers; you can pick up the actual discs on Ebay/Half.com/Amazon for much cheaper. I like the concept, but I'm not even remotely tempted by the current price structure.

Eh it's not really a huge deal when you can get a glitched rush via Baal quest and get into Hell as a level one. Then after chaosing for a few hours, you can easily get to 85+ in a day if you have the time. Still, it would be more convenient to be able to redistribute skill points (and hopefully stats) to make older characters who were made before some of the skill changes actually usable again (i.e. my pure dex zon who has like 500hp and maxed multi/guided arrow with low strafe).

I personally don't think it's right to pay 60$ for a game and not be able to get the full experience (i.e. playing online) without shelling out extra cash for Live. That's the main reason I don't have a gold subscription. If the game is mostly single player and superior on the 360 (i.e. Bioshock), I'll buy it on 360; if the game has compelling multiplayer, I'll get it on PS3. That said, I rarely buy games on 360 these days and I kinda wish I hadn't opted for the Elite model and wasted money o...

I thought Bionic Commando was much better than the conduit (IMO). I think the Conduit's control customization is definitely worth mentioning, as the game plays very smoothly, it just isn't particularly fun. I don't personally see what all the fuss is about its graphics either, everything looks very sterile and generic (kinda like F.E.A.R). Maybe the visuals are technically proficient, but they still aren't pretty to look at. I thought Bionic Commando was extremely underrated and the Conduit w...

I hit GameStop earlier, and while their website lists Bionic Commando as $49.99 for PS3, it was actually $19.99 in the store (found out while talking to the clerk about buying the 360 version to exchange at Walmart for the PS3 version). Pretty sweet deal, I really dig the game despite the average-ish reviews it got.

Edit: it lists BC for PS3 as $49.99 because all the new copies are sold out online and it costs $49 used. I thought it was a bit weird to drop the price of the 360 v...

Damn, Bionic Commando is only $20 on 360 but still $50 on PS3...sucks considering I rented it on PS3 and got like 75% through it and have BC:Rearmed on PS3 as well (classic costume unlock). Maybe I'll buy it on 360 and return to Walmart for the PS3 version lol.

I still play D2 off and on...it's free and I have characters that are like 10 years old that can still own basically anything. It's a great way to kill time when you get sick of console gaming.

Only 5.5-8 Hours long? Damn, that's disappointing. Still worth a rent or maybe even a purchase if the online has any legs. Looks like I'll dust off my Wii and give this one a shot; hope I'm not making a mistake.
