LOL. It's funny looking back and seeing how far PCs have come. Someone posted a 15 year old flyer for Best Buy on reddit yesterday, and I LOL'd at some of the prices for a 2.1 GB hard drive and 16 MB of memory.

Holy shit dude! Madden 97 for PS1! MLB Pennant Race (one of the most overhyped games ever). Genesis games. A "theater package" with a 32" tv. LOL.

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I meet the minimum requirements, but I'm not spending the money to upgrade so no PC for me. no max resolution no care

[Swarley]

Dammit. I have this game reserved for 360, which is what a few of my friends play, but I know all of you fuckers are going to get it for PS3. Decisions decisions.

Fixed.

My video card doesn't meet the minimum ffs. Time to throw it to the curb.

Whats funny is how much computers and everything have gone down in price yet fuckin fridges and washing machines are still pretty much the same outside of the newer technologies.

I remember buying my 4X CD-Burner just before high school for close to $400 lol. I was a god dam baller with that thing though. Kids thought we were crazy with our burnt cds of music in our discmans.

Edit - FUCKIN MACS WERE STILL OVERPRICED BACK THEN.

Edit 2 - Fuck EDO Memory.

Link: PS3 Gets Battlefield 3 DLC First

In a world of decreased exclusives, it's cool to see that the console makers are still trying to grab what they can. Sony and EA have announced that all "full-blown" expansion packs for Battlefield 3 will first appear on the PS3 for a week before they hit Xbox Live.

Over at the Official PlayStation Blog, Tommy Rydling, junior product manager at Battlefield 3 developer DICE, says that starting with the first post-release DLC pack called Back to Karkand (out sometime this year) all "full-blown" expansion packs to the game will have a week of exclusivity on PSN.

Interestingly, this move is the mirror opposite of what the Call of Duty series has done recently with the Black Ops DLC, where it has been available first on XBLA and then PSN (albeit for a full month before).
