  1. Id say grab the 40gb Japanese version. Yeah most BD movies are region locked, but FYI its cheaper to import the BD movies from the US from Amazon, and they come out sooner in the US. I bought I Am Legend, The Departed, The Last Samurai and 300 from Amazon.com, delivered to my door for a little less than $100 inc. postage. thats less than $25 per BD movie. what do you pay here? $35+? and again, the movies are released earlier in the states on BD than here in in AUS. Ofcourse there will eventually be an update sent out to make BluRay region free (whether official or unofficial), but ive got no idea when that would be... Ive heard though that some BD movies are infact region free, you just need to check... thats if you want to pay $35+ for a BD movie... Id only consider getting a 60gb console if you plan on playing PS2 games (alternatively, you could just pick up a PS2 and mod it if needed?). And id only consider getting a 40gb AUS PS3 if you genuinely want to waste your money. Unless you can find a cheap new PS3 or if you wanted to get a cheap used PS3. $460 for a 40gb PS3 on PlayAsia, shipping is about $60, and shipping takes 3 days, even over the weekend. Ive had mine since March and have had no problems. My mate has had his since December and had no problems (both White Japanese 40gb ver.). In the end, its up to you and how much money you want to spend/waste.
  2. Sony have stated the PS3 will have a life span of 10 years since release. I dont think we'll be seeing a PS4 anytime soon. the next xbox on the other hand...
  3. FYI, if the NTSC/U and NTSC/J version are region protected from PlayAsia, id recommend finding a good UK Online game store. They have R ratings, and run on PAL. might be a bit more expencive though... Thats where i got my un-edited copy of GTAIV for 360 from.
  4. i cant remember, i havent played it for a couple of weeks... im up to the chapter where your in Russia (i think) and the greater fiend of fire blows up the tanks. last thing i remember doing is killing the big ass blind monster and then saving. Those rocket launching ninja's are total bullshit aswell. some enemies in this game shit me to tears. Someone shouldve told Itagaki that making enemies cheap, doesnt make it fun. P.S. someone needs to blow up the pound where those f**king ninja dogs came from. gaaarh... just thinking about this game annoys me.
  5. I dont mind Ninja Gaiden 2, i just get too frustrated with it to find myself having fun with it.
  6. Currently playing GRID. Its practically the street racing twin of DiRT (which i also enjoyed). Quite fun
  7. Theres still one console missing from your list
  8. HD E3 announcement here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36267.html Quote from Kotaku AU "Breaking news from the Microsoft E3 2008 press conference. Square Enix head honcho Yoichi Wada took the stage to announce Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 360. Yes, just take a moment to soak that up. Final Fantasy XIII coming to the Xbox 360. Holy f**king shit. Simultaneous release in Europe and North America with PS3. Wow." My response: This news knocked me off my chair... Not exactly happy with it though... whats the point of owning a console if the only decent exclusive is MGS4? (i dont really care for Resistance 2/Killzone 2) This wouldve been a major seller for the PS3, boosting sales of the console... Looks like Sony shouldve thrown more money at S-E... It seems everything is going multiplatform... due to the amount it costs for games to be made, they need to re-coup that... but it then leaves no competition between consoles... (although M$ seem to hold on to their exclusives better/longer than Sony holds theirs, if at all...) But i guess its good for FF fans who own a 360 to get it on the action... Lets see S-E try and release it on the Wii... I wonder if Versus will still be an exclusive? Ill still be grabbing FFXIII on PS3. A comment made on Kotaku that i agree with: "by Amazon_Chris at 10:11 AM 15/7/08 @GTA4er: The one thing I really feel kicked in the balls about right now isn't that it's multiplatform. I feel upset that they led us on for two years saying wasn't, and then they pulled the rug out from under us. Hell, I'll still play it on my Playstation. It's not like it magically ISN'T on the Playstation any more. It isn't like Square came in and said," 360 Exclusive. **** the rest of you." If there's one thing that it reinforces, it's the notion that, other than a few exceptions, third party exclusives are dead. Do I think money changed hands on this? Yeah, I do. Not because it's such a big title, but because the announcement came so late in development.Hell, I think they aid above (correct me if I am wrong, please) that they haven't actually started the Xbox version of it. So, I guess that means it's a port then? Either way, other than stuff like Metal Gear Solid and Gears of War (PS3 and 360 respectively), third party exclusives are dead, and it's a company's first party exclusives that will, ultimately, make or break the console."

  10. Also DL'd yesterday and have no problems Im glad they released a 2.41 promptly
  11. FYI for anyone whos interested: My Wii Friend Code: 8862-1450-6936-1997 My Brawl Code: 4210-3989-2826
  12. After completing the game, Otacon explains that you get to keep everything and take it over to a new game, but you dont receive them until meeting Mk.II for the first time.
  13. A few games in there i wouldnt classify as AAA... Like Ninja Gaiden 2 and Saints Row? Ive owned both (still own NG2) and i personally wouldnt rate them that highly... Ninja Gaiden 2 seems quite dated... it doesnt really look any different the Sigma, and in terms of story/graphics in comparison to DMC4, DMC4 shits all over it... Saints Row didnt do too bad, only because there was no GTA out at the time... its gonna be interesting to see how big SR2 is now that GTAIV is out... and some games youve mention: (by TC Las Vegas do you mean Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas?) Splinter Cell Double Agent RE5 Star Wars: Force Unleashed Soul Calibur 4 UFC 2009 Fallout 3 Far Cry 2 Mortal Kombat vs DC Dead Space Project Origin End War Splinter Cell Conviction Fight Night Round 4 Aliens Have all been/Are all being released on PS3 aswell... If your going to argue on his intelligence because of what he missed out on, it might be smarter to only list exclusives... as hes not really going to have a problem with the multi-platform games... On Topic: I dont see the point of getting rid of his 360 for MGS4...? Why get rid of the 360? why not keep it and own a 360 and PS3? its not as if theres no decent games on/coming to 360... Although, MGS4 is one of the best games ive ever played.
  14. ooooh! sounds good! i havent tried online for a while... Good to see we dont have to install the latest update to play online either...
  15. yeah ive been a fan since the 1st one on N64, jeez its come a long way... (although sometimes Brawl seems a bit like Melee 1.5...) The new characters are a great addition. Characters i use most are: Ike Sonic Snake Toon Link Peach I used to love Cpt. Falcon in the older games, but hes been toned down a bunch and just doesnt cut it with the newcomers... P.S. just a quick heads up if we wanna get some Wii/Brawl Friend codes up (wrote this up on another forum): For People who dont know their Wii Friend Code, or forgot to write down their Brawl code when connecting to WFC (like myself), and are unsure where to find it now, follow these steps: Wii Friend Code: - On the Wii Main Screen, Go into "Wii Message Board" (Bottom right hand corner) - Click on "Create Message" (Bottom left hand corner, rightmost icon) - Click on "Address Book" - On the main page it will say "This Consoles Wii Number:" And theres your Wii Friend Code, which will be 16 digits. (example: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) Brawl Code: - On the Main Selection Screen, click on "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" - It will ask to connect, click "Yes" - Once connected, click on "With Friends" - Click on "Friend Roster" In the top Right-Hand corner is your Brawl Code, which will be 12 digits. (example: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) FYI: Only the Brawl Code is required when wanting to play SSBB with friends.
  16. Have had it since US release. Great game, even better with friends. Only problem is the main story gets stretched about halfway, but the story itself is cool, something SSB hasnt had before... I might jump online tonight, will probably be able to get a few more battles now its released in AUS.
  17. Would recommend renting 1st, or even playing the demo... I bought it for $50 from PlayAsia, but theres no way i wouldve spent $100 on this... Seems to be a Ninja Gaiden 1.7 (Sigma being 1.5). still has camera issues blood effect issues, and have heard some enemies are not even challenging, just use cheap tactics...
  18. This is my first MGS ive ever played (thoroughly) and i love it. Story and Characters are awesome, love the cutscenes and the gameplay is great. I cant even notice the difference between cutscene and gameplay graphics, if there is any! I wasnt dissapointed at all. Absoloutly love this game. Good work Kojima!! Have setup online, but havent played it yet...
  19. Im already up to this part, but way to spoil it for people not up to it yet...
