klingon 10 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'm still - STILL - on Mario Galaxy 2. Incredible game it is. Worth getting a Wii for. Link to post Share on other sites

KlingKlang 1 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Played that last week for a few hours, seemed fun. You have it bobby? Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yep I am well into it, but it has no manual! With PSP-go you can only buy online, and no online manual is available. So, a lot of stuff in the game is a mystery to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 So I picked up a new tv and thought that a new game system, since I have had my Xbox for 8 years, would be nice. Which would you recommend? I have played the big three and think theyre all pretty fun. Wii seems like good fun, but I just dont know how good the other games are comparatively since Ive done like Wii sports and Mario. I love Halo type games, sports, action, whatever. Maybe its time to hit up Yodobashi camera and play upstairs for a little while Link to post Share on other sites

Any of the gamers out there think there will be a new machine launched next year??? Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 As he said. Well I find the Wii controls to be just fine. If I were buying one, I'd go for the ps3. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes future is 100% all online downloads. PSP-go has this, it is a cash cow for Sony. All games are bought direct from sony online store, so no middleman to take profit. Also, no paper manual or packaging, shipping etc to deal with. And, you cannot buy the games 2nd hand like with discs, so sales (from manufacturer) increase. On top of all these massive benefits, Sony have the cheek to charge more for download version too! It is only a matter of time before all consoles go this way. It is actually more logical for a PS3/XBOX to be all download then PSP as you can LAN the machine up. With PSP it can be a pain to connect the machine (must be hardwired not over wifi) and get games. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Sorry couldn't disagree with you more Bobby. With the future of ISPs looking more and more like they will start limiting users on broadband, it could be a balls up for any company to go download only when it comes to consoles. Bricks and mortar shops have too much vested interest in the physical copies that if there were torrent be a new console that was download only, they would refuse to stock it, like what happened with the PSPGO.

klingon 10 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes the ISP situation is an interesting one and will be important. Unless games are going to start not being GB in size, I can't see a situation in the near future when it will be downoload only. Link to post Share on other sites
