I just bought a 20gb on ebay for $50. Did a little research and found out that they qualify for the trade in program also.

Nothing's as big of a deal as a game that allows you to kick a dude in the balls then shooting them into a cactus.
Also, I bought Little Big Planet 2 so what do I know about gaming?Comment

Question to all: NBA 2k11? I know it's supposed to be superb, my question is, for someone who isn't a huge basketball fan (never played it really in school, never watched anything but March Madness which was basically just an excuse to drink -- and still is), and doesn't really know much about the intricacies of the game, will I like it? The demo was fun enough and I was amazed at the level of detail, and lately I've slowly but surely been getting more into the NBA. What is the learning curve like? Would it help me to appreciate basketball more?Comment

The learning curve is quite perfect, actually. You won't be crushing teams when you first start, but you get the hang of it fairly quickly. It's really about learning your team and how each player moves. And yes, it will definitely help you appreciate how successful fundamental team basketball can be.Comment

You and I are a lot alike, Seth. Don't really care much about the NBA, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best sports games ever created.

Was playing the Bulls/Clips game today, down by one. Wanted Boozer to face up, up fake and then drive to the rim. Forget to hold L2 and instead he launched a shitty shot and that was the game. Soon enough, I'll have that all down patComment

Finally got my Platinum for Arkham Asylum. I had to take a break from this one because I kept scoring just below the 50,000 point threshold on the last freeflow challenge map.
Next up is Bad Company 2. I just need to get 4 Demo 2.0 kills for the last trophy.Comment

LBP2...
I've seen the Light and it requires me to grapple-shot to get that last fucking sticker.
Sony VP Kevin Butler was right when he said that there was infinite levels... sorta.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqh4-VP1LJ0"]Great... now I have to learn basic logic programming[/ame]
50 plus the tutorials and the 3 MILLION Community Levels?!
Should have bought this the day it came out because aside from DAII, I may not need anymore games.Comment

Like you've never been wrong about game recommendations in your life, MFer. :ko:
For real though, I dunno if it's my old ass controller or what but that Grapple Shot Gun is testy as fuck.
Sometimes, I'll be able to swing across huge chasms with no problem and other times, I'll stop in midswing 10x in a row...
Usually falling to my death. :fad:Comment
