The Old Sony Megathread

[AJ]

So LBP is on Amazon for less than £24 brand new from one of their sellers.

Think I may give it a go. Was gonna rent it, but might as well go for it at that price.

I still intend to pick up Assassin's Creed and Uncharted on the cheap at some point. I enjoyed the Uncharted demo at least.

This years VGA on Spike TV may be worth watching (it airs December 14). Uncharted 2, God of War III, Mafia 2, Watchmen, Brutal Legend, and Fight Night Round 4 are just some of the games premiering during the show.

Assassin's Creed is a £10 on play.com.

Everybody's Golf, I knew I forgot something! Loved that on the PSP...which I must admit, am tempted to trade in my DS for again.

Oh and I got my Maestro details accepted by sticking a 0 in for issue number, odd. I tried all like 5 forms of my address (suburb, city, county/village/suburb/city/county etc. etc.), three different forms of my name (spacing of initials and whatnot), and all it wanted was part of the details that don't actually exist. Silly really. I do appreciate being able to use real cash rather than M$ points though.

It's brilliant on the PS3 and has some great online modes as well that are actually exciting and entertaining.

You haven't played on a PS3 until you've played Uncharted.

I was in EBGames about to buy LittleBigPlanet, but I ended up walking out of the store with Resistance because it was a Greatest Hits title. I have only played a little bit of it, but it is a fun game.

[Cactus Drags]

I have reserved judgement on Resistance because I didn't get to play it much (fucking install time ate a chunk out of my lunch break), and the time I did get to play was hampered by a busted left stick that made me walk in circles if I wasn't holding it all the way to the right. It looked ace though.

I doubt it'll be the Halo killer that the original was lauded as, but so far the reviews from hands-on with it that I've read have been glowing.

[stokeriño]

I was unaware how very expensive PS3 controllers were. Until now.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

20 quid over here *smug*

[stokeriño]

That doesn't count. It would have been about £35 like here just two months ago. :@

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Nah it would have been 20 quid back then but now it's probably about 30 quid due to the exchange rate. However for folk getting paid in yen, they're still just as cheap. How much are they in the UK right now?

[Baddar]

At my last check, £35. Dualshock and the normal Sixaxis controllers were both the same price. I'm not sure if that's changed by now.

[stokeriño]

Yeah, £35. Grr.

Exchange rate now: £1 = 135 yen.

Two months ago £1 = 195 yen.

You're right, it would be comparatively more expensive now. I was thinking backwards-ly.

EA and DICE have announced details on Mirror's Edge DLC. In late January, players will be able to download nine new races for the Time Trial mode. According to the press release, these levels will have "no guns, no cops, and no city: this is true aesthetics, agility and flow that will challenge any runner." We're not entirely sure what that means, but we certainly want to find out.

The nine new races will cost $10. However, PS3 owners get a special treat. All owners of the game can download an additional tenth race for free from the PlayStation Store. This is the PS3-exclusive DLC we've been waiting to hear about. (Who doesn't like free stuff?)

Stay tuned for more details on the DLC. To read our review of Mirror's Edge, click here.

Oh.. boy. Whoopieeee.

This looks sick:

Only thing this week in the Euro store, hopefully the North American store gets a little bonus somethin' somethin'.

According to the Times Online, a web version of the UK newspaper that's been in circulation since 1785, the long-awaited PlayStation Home will be released "in the next 10 days." The article is dated December 7th, so simple arithmetic would allow us to conclude that Home will make its debut by December 17th.

At the very least, the rumored date seems realistic; afterall, we've been promised again and again that Home will make its debut in 2008. Sony won't attest to the accuracy of that date. "We're not commenting on that story, I'm afraid," an SCEE representative told VG247. Let's all keep our fingers crossed -- bring Home home, Sony!

[Baddar]

Fuck yes. Hope it's true.
