5er posted:The great thing about some of these overpriced titles right now, particularly if you're on the fence and willing to wait, is that they're probably due for price cuts as soon as June. I would agree, but digital distribution and price cuts don't always go hand in hand. I think steam might be changing that however, but Microsoft and Sony still seem to think digital prices should never drop, they invented the best prices at launch. I hope the prices lower normally for both and don't screw digital adopters.

My launch PSP had about 10 dead pixels that always irritated me, but I think I lucked out with the Vita. Even with pitch black loading screens, I have no blotchiness to report. Are these screens made one by one or are they cut from a giant OLED screen?

I'm just basing my estimations off of patterns seen with other launches. The proprietary titles won't see much of any, if any price cut at all for a long while- I don't expect Uncharted to price drop. Garbage like Dungeon Hunters will plummet in price quickly. MvC3 will probably hold its price because of its quality. Less-garbage, non-flagship, niche stuff like Katamari, or Dynasty Warriors though, will probably see early price cuts too.

Rad Valtar posted:you rebought the bundle and it works fine now? This is awesome to know I'm going to buy it right now. Yeah. You can tell if the rebuying works by going to Super Stardust after buying it. There should be that purchased shopping bag next to the price which means it registered properly. I'm going to guess the first DLC bundle was like trying to download a dev copy or something.

I just bought a flash cart for my 3DS yesterday, but I think I'm going to head to Gamestop and just trade the console in along with the four games that I have so I can pick up a Vita. Are there any goons that can give me a ballpark estimate on what I'd get for a red 3DS, Ocarina of Time, Star Fox, Mario Kart, and Mario Land 3DS? I'm fairly certain my debit card limit is $200/day and I was planning on picking up the $249 model, Rayman, Katamari, and a 16gb card, which comes to $405.61 after tax. I'm also considering just dropping down to an 8gb card because my DSL is atrociously slow and I'm sure Sony is going to drop the ball on digital copy pricing anyway.

I got Wipeout for the PSP during launch era... and did loving terrible at it. I got Wipeout HD for the PS3 as one of the post-hack freebies. And did loving terrible at it. If I got it for Vita, I bet I'd do loving terrible with it, too, I'm sure. The sad thing is, I love the style and design of the game, wish I could do better with it. Racing games bring me closer than any other game to breaking controllers / consoles though, I'm just not chancing it this go around.

I added a bunch of goons with the games I have from the PS3/PSV database, don't be weirded out. Also, "Register for the PS3/PSV Goon database" should probably be in the thread title even though it's not clever or whatever.

Where do you live? I know up here in Canada we have a site designed to give us trade-in values of games and systems called TIVS.Captain Corduroy posted:So I got Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and uhhhh is there a Vita version of this franchise coming because To build on what people have said let me elaborate. Capcom has not officially announced a Vita followup for Monhan, but there have been many leaks and "substantiated rumors" claiming that "Monster Hunter Portable 3rd G" is coming for Vita. The September 2011 leak list for Tokyo Game Show had Portable 3rd HD Ver as a Vita launch title, which turned out to be one of only two things on the list that were not present at TGS (the other was Bayonetta 2 + HD movie sequel). Other random rumors cite MH3rd Vita as being a Winter 2012 title. More recently, Nikkei Trendy (a popular entertainment magazine) is claiming Monhan Vita is in development for "the second half of 2012". Last summer, a Capcom representative stated that the likelihood of both 3DS and Vita receiving a Monster Hunter game is incredibly high. It's now gotten to the point that Sony officials are now biting their tongue over Monhan Vita. Sony France's COO claimed that Monster Hunter Vita is due for "the coming months", but quickly issued a backpedal statement when he probably realized he wasn't supposed to say that. To sum it up: you're probably going to get a Monster Hunter game on Vita, but don't expect to hear about it anytime soon. At the earliest I'd peg Capcom announcing it in the summer like they did with Monster Hunter Tri G on 3DS, and giving it the full reveal at Tokyo Game Show 2012 in September. Cheer up, enjoy Freedom Unite, and wait it out.

I was absolutely loving awful at Wipeout HD, but I'm finding this new one to be much, much easier to get to grips with. I always thought HD felt too loose and floaty, but the controls in 2048 are much tighter.

I suck rear end at HD, and I didn't want my first Vita game to be me making GBS threads it up.

Hmm, I find HD much easier. It's brighter and the levels are easier to see and I think it runs smoother. 2048's levels are a lot busier looking.

Honestly, go to Best Buy, put down $5 to reserve whatever games (ME3, The Show, some others) and get the 50% credit boost. I did it last week, you'll get around $25 for Star Fox, $25 for Mario Kart, $27 for Mario 3DS, and $30 for Zelda (I traded them all in) and around $100 for the 3DS. That is a ton more credit than you will get at gamestop.

I just can't find any info on 3ds systems. I know Gamestop has the extra $25 towards a Vita going on, but I have no idea what their base value is. I also indirectly replied to Policenaut above.

I would have loved this too but we're never going to get Portable 3rd outside of Japan. They only want to localize MH games with built-in online play, which P3rd doesn't have. The PSP's been brain dead for like 2 years now and they don't want to bother localizing anything on it anymore. The PS3 version fails to pass SCEA/SCEE's minimum requirements for localization, thanks to a lack of Trophies and its requirement of Ad-Hoc Party to play online (which uses a more advanced version than what Sony's localized in the West) You'd think Capcom would spare the time to localize a game that outsold Pokemon in Japan but hey, that's what happened.

I believe GS right now is about the same as Best Buy on the console, $65 or so, plus the $25. So you should be in good shape even at GS with the addition of your games to.

I was doing a VS. Match in Hotshots and the comp hit a tree and it fell about 10 yards in front of a motel. The motel was in between the player and the hole. I am not good at this game and was relieved to finally get an easy win. That bitch chipped it in over the loving Motel. gently caress you. I think the difficulty scales with how well you play, if you are ahead and doing well, poo poo like this happens. If I am sucking rear end, then the other player starts whiffing. This is all to unlock certain gear so I can dominate online of course.
