PSP is getting a new "budget" model without Wifi for $99 but seems to be only for Europe. Some other news: Ninja Gaiden 3 will have full Move support for the Playstation 3. http://mediakick.org/2011/08/16/ninja-gaiden-3-gets-full-playstation-move-compatibility/ inFAMOUS 2: Festival of Blood announced. A standalone spinoff PSN game with Vampires as the main theme. Awesome new Resistance 3 comic book art styled trailer. 7 minutes of new Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception footage Edited by Neo Metallix, Aug 16 2011, 12:31 PM.

I been trying to myself a PS3 again, seeing I lost my last one. Although the 3DS has been distracting me, this will hopefully help. inFamous 2: Festival of Blood, huh? Sounds different, but intriguing. I wonder if it will hint a inFamous 3, which Spoiler: click to toggle the endings of inFamous 2 leave me verrry curious if there will be a inFamous 3, seeing unlike the first, they're completely different. Uncharted 3 looks neat too as well.

We all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us Posts: 2,868 Group: E Rank Legend Member #10,732 Joined: February 3, 2010 Game Currently Playing: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap	249? Eh, I guess its reasonable. Hopefully Ill have one by the end of the year. And perhaps the PS4 in another 7 years.

Any new PSP models do not interest the informed consumer. But 250 dolla PS3? YEAH! m Edited by Fwiss, Aug 16 2011, 01:46 PM.

I've used homebrew on the PSP and all of the applications looked like low budget crap. This was a few years ago though. The only good part of homebrew is emulators but I don't think it's worth the trouble.

The Shenz Mastur Can Has Derp Posts: 999 Group: C Rank Hero Member #11,736 Joined: January 4, 2011 Playstation Network ID: TT320	The inFAMOUS 2 thing makes me smile and go "WTF" at the same time. inFAMOUS 2 endings spoiler: Spoiler: click to toggle IMO, because of the lightning bolt at the end of the good story, and the fact that Cole didn't even die at the end of the evil one, I have no doubt that inFAMOUS is a series just budding. HOW they go about it is another thing, though. This Festival of Vampires might just be DLC. I dunno WTF else it could be! EDIT: Apparently this DLC thing will be set in Zeke's head as a dream.

Aww. That's disappointing, as I thought it could give some hint about the possibility of a sequel. Although it's better if inFamous doesn't have a sequel, seeing Spoiler: click to toggle Cole and the other conduits die while the rest of the world is saved in the good ending, while in the evil ending, 99% of humanity dies while Cole and conduits live.

The Shenz Mastur Can Has Derp Posts: 999 Group: C Rank Hero Member #11,736 Joined: January 4, 2011 Playstation Network ID: TT320	IMO, I'd like a sequel following the good path. That could be cool. A sequel on the evil path, don't see the point. OR, a prequel. shrug Where's a damn inFAMOUS topic when you need it.

What is the difference between a duck? Posts: 4,799 Group: Former Monarchs Member #7,312 Joined: April 10, 2008 Playstation Network ID: Allbowdown Xbox Live Gamertag: allbowdown	And you can STILL get a working PS3 for less at a pawn shop.. the one I got for $175 2 years ago still works fine, both of the controllers it came with are still fine, and it's one of the original models that includes backwards compatabity not that I've used that feature but it's cool to know it's there. I've always been a bargain hunter and that was a bargain and then some, by definition.

My point was that it was $175 2 years ago and is surely a decent amount cheaper now, and you're really doing noting but saving when you go that route. I'd honestly recommend going the cheaper route for most anything from PS3s to iPod touches e.t.c. the way the economy is going anymore.. just never buy a TV at a pawn shop, they are never worth it. xD

Steal of a deal on that. I also bought my 55 inch Sony HDTV TV off of there. So I know about deals. I originally bought a 52 Mitsubishi HDTV(1080i) for $100 on CL then sold it for $340 and bought my 55 inch Sony(1080p) for $350, so in total I spent on my TV is $110. On the subject of the PS3, $50 might not seem like a lot but it does to consumers apparently. Both Gamestop and Target have reported huge increases on PS3 sells.
