Killzone 3 Beta Preview
Wow this game is looking good, better than Killzone 2. I can't wait till February!

NFS Hot Pursuit
I forgot about Shift... Well Carbon, Underground, etc were all meh to me. I was excited about Most Wanted being the return of cops, but it was mainly just Carbon in the day with cops in it. Shift was actually pretty good, but it was just a "hold-me-over" until Gran Turismo 5. It really wasn't even close to GT5 and Forza is better as well. Imo, at least. I still liked the game, but I'm so happy they're going back to Hot Pursuit.

Consoles sells for 2010
I've never heard anyone say the Wii is in last.... It's way ahead, but it doesn't have the massive sells it did back when it first came out.

Consoles sells for 2010
Very interesting to see the PS2 still doing so well after 10 YEARS!! This is all official data from each console's respective manufacturer(January-September).

Wii - 8.45m
PS3 - 8.1m
360 - 5.8m
PS2 - 4.8m

Now for an interesting comparison, lets compare these official numbers to what VGChartz is reporting... Now I know some will argue that the official numbers are shipped and VGChartz tracks actual sells(how, I don't know, they have nothing to go off of) but if that were the case then how did Nintendo sell more than they shipped? ROFL

VG Chartz numbers:
Wii - 9.2m
PS3 - 7.4
360 - 7.0

Is it time that Activison end their Guitar Hero/Rock Band games?
Well I think it's ridiculous now days... With modern consoles all they have to do is add new songs via DLC instead of whole new games. They are getting old and I really don't think they're as popular as when it first came out on PS2. They'll always stay popular enough to keep making them probably though.

NFS Hot Pursuit
So has anyone played the demo yet? I actually like it, but I've always been a huge fan of the Hot Pursuit games. Finally a GOOD NFS, the last good one imo was Hot Pursuit 2.

PSP Go price slash!

I guess the factor lies within the ownership consoles or preference.
I can afford both a console and PSP GO, I am just a stingy person when it comes to money,
but point well made Boom.
Yeah, there are many factors. Personally, I've owned every PSP they made. I've owned a 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen, and a Go. I always upgraded when a new one came(found ways of doing that for cheap) out but sold the Go to fund a PS3 purchase. I was tinkering with the idea of getting a Go again on Craigslist(although most have only been in the $180 range) but with this price drop I may just get it new...

I mainly just want a portable game system that can play MP3s. I've owned a few iPod Touches but they suck for gaming. A touch is better than a PSP as far as music organization goes but a PSP is 10xs better than a touch for gaming so it evens out. Yeah you don't get tons of apps, but most of those were useless junk anyway.

PSP Go price slash!
Well in his case he already had a PSP so it's not a good example. Also I know what you're saying, but if $200 is too much for you then how do you justify any handheld or even have the right to say you are a handheld person? They're all $170-$200 and the 3DS is going to be even more expensive(same price as a PS3)! There are no handhelds on the market where you couldn't get a console for slightly more if not the same price.

If I didn't have a PS3 I definitely would not consider a PSP, but I've got all of my console needs met so I don't think about what console I could get for that price. Also there are people who just want a portable game device and don't care about consoles(look at Japan where handhelds dominate).

Well that's how I value what I spend.
When I see something for a certain price, I think of what else I can buy and get the value out of my dollar.

If a HANDHELD is expensive as a CONSOLE then it is certainly not worth it.
Especially since it was the price as a revolutionary console like the Wii.
PSP Go is just the same as a PSP with interface and everything, just built in memory and design.

So I think to myself. Is it worth it, when I can buy a console like the Wii (which I myself want) for 250 and a game on top of that?
Competition with price and value my friend, and I just dont spend right out of the pocket either as I am cheap at times.
In fact, I am still rolling with the Game Cube this very day. But still, the point I am trying to make is that their price was ridiculous and seem to be a rip off for 250 dollars.
I agree $250 was expensive, but you are saying it's still not worth it because it's the same price as the Wii. I'm just saying, it's a completely different device and shouldn't be compared that way. I guess you just aren't into the handheld market then and it's understandable(although I don't see how the Wii is revolutionary. It certainly wasn't in my book as motion controls were already around well before it came out).


PSP Go price slash!
They are completely different products... That's like saying why get a DSi XL or DSi when a Wii is the same price or only $30 more... Or even better, why get a 3DS when a Wii is cheaper... I mean sure you could get a console but it's not portable.

Also I already have a console, so I have no need for a Wii.

PSP Go price slash!
It's all preference and I know some key games aren't on PSN for the Go but I would definitely take the Go over the Ghost of Sparta pack. 4 gigs just isn't enough(when I had my 3k I had an 8 gig) and I don't want to spend more for a 16 gig card. Plus the Go is just a better design with more features like BluTooth, 3G connectivity to internet(via BluTooth to a cell phone), and in-game pausing. So I really would not consider a 3k anymore but that's me.

Also I have games bought on PSN already(Chains of Olympus, Crush, Rockband, and a bunch of PS1 games) so if I get a PSP again, I'm already set with games. haha It does come with three free games though if you buy the one with it advertised on the box. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PSP-Hardware/PSPgo/pcmcat190200050029.c?id=pcmcat190200050029

PSP Go price slash!
I've always liked the Go's design much more than the original's(which is pretty bulky) and I have even owned one. I got mine used off of Craigslist because the price at $250 was just too much, imo. Now it's only $199 new and I'm tempted to get one. With 16 gigs built in, it's a much nicer package than a PSP 3000 with game combo for the same price.

If you've been waiting to purchase a PSP Go because the price is too steep, your day has come -- Sony has dropped the price of its handheld from $249 to $199. That's a $50 price drop for the system, and essentially puts it in the same price category as Nintendo's DS system. The PSP Go now costs just $30 more than Nintendo's DSi XL, $50 more than the DSi, and $70 more than the DSi Lite.

It makes sense that Sony is dropping the PSP Go price. It's right before the holiday season, and the company has no new handheld coming out in the next few months (although rumors abound about a "PSP 2" coming out next year), so they're trying to spur some sales on the system.

But I have to ask: Are you guys, the gamers, going to pick up a Go, now that the price is lower?

Sonic 4 is a ripoff/gimmick
I read a lot of posts but skipping over the recent mumbo jumbo, I'd like to point out that the old games did reuse ideas on badnicks. Angel Island had a monkey that was similar to coconuts on Sonic 2... Metropolis used a similar badnick to Crabmeat in Sonic 1...

[Podcast] Saturday Night Extravaganza
Well I'll just say that I think this is an epic thing and glad you guys are putting forth the effort to entertain people. :) PROMOTIONS FOR ALL!!! Ok, maybe not. :P

SB, Wherever You Go!
That would be a Zetaboards thing as I could not even tamper with something to do that. The best I could do is the Mobile skin which pretty much eliminates most styling and images to load faster. I really made it so my PSP would load the site much better.

Sonic Forums Dying?

But to be honest no matter how old or how busy you are, the whole forum eventually falls on the forum admin and his/her dedication for Sonic.


Nonsense. The forum falls on the members and how active and desirable* they are. Admins can try to cultivate that membership through hard work and an attractive layout, and they may be successful... But they are only one part of a much larger machine involving every member, and it's important to remember. A good leader should always recognize the importance of people under him.

Yes i know that.
But who is the one that have to solve most forum problems, attract members and handle forums to begin with?
The forum admin and I am saying this as experience.

Despite my member handle most activity, I still have A LOT of responsibilities being a admin.
So yes it is true the forum falls under the admin responsibly.
Management, effort and success is dependant on it.

Say if I do have bad members or members left and no desire to post?
Know what I do?
I either,
1)Contribute and post more in the forums.
2)Seek out to find more and new members.

I know someday not all members will be active forever, of course you going have to continue working for members until the forum has so many members that the admin has to do nothing.
Using SB for example. More than 2k members, Metallix has to do nothing.
But for me I will have to continue working for members and working hard on the forum for a couple of years.

See how much responsibility it takes raising a forum?
So again, that proves my point forum success is determined on the admin/owner.
Yes, as of now there really isn't anything I need to do. The forum will continue on and live for a long time without dying, if ever. The main reason for that is the amount of effort I put into it from the beginning.

In April we will be 5 years old. :)

Halloween Costumes?
Gary-Doll
Oct 20 2010, 10:58 AM
I don't do Halloween. Why? One, it's too childish for my liking, two, I can't have very many sweets due to allergies, so what's the point?
I'm 22 and it's not too childish for me... ;) Anyway I got the entire set for my rockstar costume now! Leather jacket, tight leather pants, cowboy boots, wig, bandana, bullet belt, barbed wire bracelet. Woot!

Also, Muck, those are very impressive carvings!! I would never have been able to do something that good.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles Doomsday 3D
That 3D doomsday zone looked awesome! I already saw the MHZ one and it was pretty neat too.

PS3 gets improved Netflix!
Really? I connected just fine and am streaming some movies right now. I think it is pretty good and there is a search feature, although not everything that comes up can be streamed... some of it has to be mailed to you.

Super Mario 64
This is the only Mario game I ever liked. It's awesome and up there with any classic game like Crash 3, Gex 3, Sonic Adventure, etc... I was just watching a speed run last night where a guy beat the game in 15 minutes, it was CRAZYYYYY!!! Although he cheated and glitched his way through a portion of it, but amazing nonetheless how he could go so fast and know where everything is.
