I don't understand why Sony puts the Greatest Hits games in solid red cases that hide the art on the inside of the jacket. They should just put a Greatest Hits banner on the cover and keep a regular clear case IMO.

Or a translucent red case.

I'm not even going to watch that. The Japanese like the dumbest fucking things.

The only thing it's for is to allow the extra space (1 whole GB I believe, yay!) on game discs.

For something so small and meaningless that update took forever. I actually switched back over to my PS3 and played L.A. Noire while it downloaded. It was longer than PS3 updates have been recently.

"Aside from offering support for the new Microsoft disc format — which will “be used in future game titles releasing later in 2011″ — the spring system update will enable PayPal support on the console, extending the payment option “to new international markets.” PayPal will be “the only user facing feature” of the update."

Being a grammar nazi pays off sometimes. I noticed a typo on Gamestaq's webpage and informed them and they gave me a 10% off coupon.

i tried it....its ok. I didn't finish it. Probably a $40 game.

Hunted looks good though

Can't wait till witcher 2 hits consoles :fap:

Hope they don't fuck it up too bad.

I wish TRU would ship my fucking copy.:hitler

I'm even more concerned than with Homefront though. I just checked Metacritic and there still isn't a single review and the game released yesterday. That tells me that not only was there an embargo but it appears the publisher didn't even send copies of the game out to review outlets.

Very weird that Bethesda Softworks wouldn't send copies of one of their games out.

Or the game is so terrible/not C.O.D. that they're sweeping it under the rug. :smug:

I agree. But what is the explanation?

If reviews aren't out day one, not a single review, it normally means the publisher didn't send out copies. The review outlets then usually buy their own copies which usually means a few days delay.

The funny thing is that when you visit metacritic.com you get bombarded with ads for Hunted.

i watched a guy play on justin and it looked good and he was enjoying it. Definite price drop soon though....probably be 39.99 somewhere soon.

Well since I got it for $35 that sounds perfect.
