Many new releases were released. And, no additional shipments in this week due to Obon holidays.

The 80 GB PS3s are phased out and Sony dont send them new ones cause they want to clear the stock...for the not so Official PS3 slim^^

BTW there are people they wait for the Price cut and the new Model too

Roper3165378d ago

just because they are clearing stock for a new SKU doesn't mean it is for a slim version. It could be the same PS3 but just with a bigger HDD. They will take the current 160 gig PS3 unbundle it and sell it as the core model and then make a new bundle with say a 250 gig or 320 gig HDD and a game.

It says they'll be discounting it in Aug 9. These sales are a few days before that :)

no sh1t the ps2 almost outsold the ps3, why would you not wait for the slim to come out cheaper

Edit:unless you can not wait to play marvel vs capcom on the ps3 which is completely understandable

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen1d 5h ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
