How about taking this fanboy crap to the open zone?
You got ripped off Tatical. www.monoprice.com sells a cable, more than likely better quality, for under $10. Monoprice is THE best site on the internet for cables. Heck, their Speaker cable which is normally $70 at BB/CC sells for $7.
Not only that but they were capped to fit onto a memory card as well. They were originally 50mb cap when there was only a 64mb card. Now that there is 256mb games are 150mb.
I am thrilled at this new section. I always refrained from posting anything here because of being ripped by fanboys. Now that I know I can have some decent conversation without being labelled as something (even though I own all three next gen consoles). Very excited to not have to hear about "M$" and "Xbots" and "delaystations" anymore. Thank you so much n4g!
So you're telling me that I should spend $150 more on a console which games don't interest me and forego a console which games DO interest me? You're telling me that I am not getting a good deal on a product that has the games I'd WANT TO PLAY and I should just forget that and buy a console that has not many games I'd want to play? Smart move. I guess I will never play what I want to play and buy a console clearly NOT good for what I want to use it for just because you say it is a better deal...
Part of a smart business is not to sell unprofitable items. If he's so upset at losing money selling them then stop selling them. I'm sure he's not upset at the extra money I'm sure he makes from all the added volume of people looking for Wiis.
No one is forcing this guy to sell Wiis. If he is going to lose money then don't sell the consoles. Simple as that. Stop complaining about "Oh I'm going to lose money if people pay with credit". Just don't sell the darn things and problem is solved.
I think you are getting disagrees because some of us like to use our consoles for more than gaming. I love the fact that my PS3 has blu-ray and my 360 has HD-DVD. Consolidating devices into one is awesome.
I don't care if Microsoft or Sony do it, digital downloads are AWESOME for renting. Yes, if I intend to purchase a movie I'd rather Blu-Ray/HD-DVD (of which I own both). But for renting Netflix isn't fast enough. If I decide "Man, I wish I could watch the new Pirates movie in HD" without adding it to my queue and waiting two days I say that is awesome. I could care less if it were Sony or Microsoft, hell even Apple. Being able to watch a movie on demand for a reasonable fee is a gre...
Gamefly already has an east coast distribution center in Pittsburgh PA. This will definitely help people in the southeast though.
As long as you pay it off before 12 months you don't pay any interest. What part of that do you not understand?
That being said let me give you the facts about credit (I work at a bank and was a finance major in college, and I have great credit...I know about this stuff)
Your FICO credit score is based off of multiple things -- Payment history (paying for bills on time), used credit to available credit ratio (how much you owe vs how much you have available), length of time you have an account open and number of recent inqueries (credit checks).
This card isn't a bad deal I...
If nothing else Fallout 3 will make 2008 worth it. I'd gladly give up Halo, GoW, Bioshock...ANYTHING just to get my hands on Fallout 3. That game will EASILY make 2008 worth it.
Slappy -- Hate on Microsoft the company all you want but the fact remains that Bill Gates is an extremely generous man. He gives MORE money to charities than any other wealthy business man out there. He actually cares about the problems of the world and that's why he's retiring from Microsoft to focus his efforts on that. Don't hate Bill Gates, he really is a good guy. He's just lost control of his company.
Then why not say the same for Sony? The market used to be Sega/Nintendo then Sony entered and made it 3. They then captured exclusive titles. Look, stop with the anti-MS hate for this reason. Hate them all you want for various other things but they did not push along exclusivity what so ever. They're doing what console makers have ALWAYS done even since the Atari.
EDIT: lol i see wut u did thar with the M$ the dollar sign is supposed to mean they are greedy haha omg hysterical...
If you're a "SonyFanOnly" where do I sign up to not be one? That was one horrible piece of writing.
Consoles have had exclusives before Microsoft was in this game. Look at SNES/Genesis. Did you see Final Fantasy on the Genesis? Don't you dare say it is Microsoft's fault that some games are exclusives.
NOT the game. The game is going to be phenomenal and I will enjoy it immensely on the PS3. I think people like you are overrating its selling power though. Metal Gear is only 25th on the all time franchises for best sellers. Games like Mario, Grand Theft Auto, or Zelda are system sellers. Metal Gear, while awesome, isn't a system seller. Gran Turismo and the three Grand Theft Auto games destroyed sales on the PS2. On the PS1 Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy VII, and Tomb Raider al...
The original metal gear solid was multiple disks on the PS1, what makes you think they couldn't use multiple disks now?
It is still a good deal and there are plenty of HD-DVD movies out there. So what if its a "dead" format? That doesn't mean the discs already out are going to magically stop working. Not to mention I'm sure HD-DVDs are going to be dirt cheap soon enough.
