Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
if you don't already own a PS3, prepare to open up wide your wallets and your tight virginal bungholes to your new dark overlord, Sony.
Fresh off the heels of crushing Toshiba and Microsoft's HD-DV-Dicks in the dirt under their Blu-ray boots, comes Sony's announcement of the 2nd phase of their plan to take over Teh Universe:
Includes the 80GB PS3 -
(no word yet on if it's the same 80GB with software BC or something else...)
(BC = breast covers I think...)
(apparently it means something else- adeleon replied on February 26, 2008 at 12:44 pm Yes, similar to the Motorstorm bundle, the new MGS4 bundle features an 80GB PS3 with some PS2 backwards compatibility.)
and METAL GEAR SOLID 4 "Guns of the Patriots"
(it's a video game about some grey-haired old assassin... why anyone would hire a decrepit old guy to be an assassin I dunno.. maybe nobody would expect a grey-haired old dude assassin?)
and 1 DualShock 3 wireless controller
(the one they should have released on day one)
! = $499!!!
Can't afford it??Get your ass to the Olive Garden now boy!
this thing will sell faster than Doritos at a Snoop Dogg concert

Allow me to blow 500+ dollars on one game. This seems like a wise investment.
Your fuckin' family's dug into the Southie projects like ticks. You, however, grew up on the North Shore, huh? Well, la-di-fuckin'-da. You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? Huh? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy on the weekends. I got that right?
Also announced was the God of War PSP (red with pic of Kratos) and
As has been announced previously, MGS4 will include a Metal Gear Online “Starter Pack.” If you can’t wait to try out MGS4, the good news is you don’t have to much longer. Those who pre-order the game will be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear Online scheduled for late April.

So basically MGS4 is like Halo except the rabid fanboys are frothing at the mouth over an old guy instead of bouncing holographic blue jubblies?

I've been trying to find a copy of MGS3 Substance for weeks and weeks.
I really didn't like it when I played it, but I've realised I was probably just on my period or something so I'll give it another shot.
Also, Everyday shooter is pretty awesome.
i tried to find it for months
i gave up after a huge search through sydney one day, glum and wanting to spend money. on the way home i go into the once decent non-restaurant shop in my suburb, just up the road, a cool indie music store
look at the meagre rack of old xbox and ps2 games they have
whaaaaatt?
a marked down copy of metal gear solid 3: subs(is?)tance, brand new
it was an import version from europe. i snapped it up faster than a dog snaps up fresh biscuits
it's pretty cool

I waited until the format war was over and was going to head out and buy a PS3 this week, but I may wait for this bundle instead. I was never a big fan of the XBOX 360, all the "exclusive" games get PC releases anyway.
EDIT: That said, the Gears of War port was a huge clusterfuck.
Honestly, I think MGS4 is going to be the Ocarina of Time for the PS3. It'll be really great, critics and fans will go nuts for it, but it won't make Sony's console number one. Still, bundling it with the system is nice, and makes the half a grand pricetag easier to swallow. If it also has BC, then even better.
"If anyone tried to steal your WAX LIPS, you would eat their eyeballs and deliver an angry lecture into their empty sockets." Hearts Boxcars, The Midnight Crew
it also helps that the PS3 is currently a significantly more reliable system. their library (which has good games, but very few exclusives) is the biggest factor currently holding it back. customer perception is important in the console business, and MS certainly has not made it easy on themselves with the RROD problem. do i think it's as widespread as it is perceived to be? no. is it significantly more widespread than it should be? definitely.
however as long as both consoles pull in fairly good numbers, it is gamers who win as competition ensures both companies can't rest on their laurels.
i bought into the Halo hype, and picked up Halo 3. i think i've played it three times, it is a well put-together game but definitely not my cup of tea.
Honestly I don't care how many units Sony sells or Nintendo or Microsoft for that matter... I don't own stock in any of them... my bank account doesn't get any bigger or smaller if they sell or don't sell X number of units. Neither does my dick.
If you're over the age of about 13 and/or don't frequent the GameFAQs forums there are certain things you just shouldn't get all worked up into a nerdrage over. Console "wars" are right at the fucking top of that list my friends...
Only thing about this I will say is that I have a beefy gaming PC that I like to keep up to date and it seems like all the good Xbox games come out for Windows eventually... so I stuck with the Playstation as a console. Plus I wanted a Blu-ray player... Honestly if I had more money and thought I would actually use it, I'd buy a 360 and a Wii too probably.
The one thing Halo is best in the business is their multiplayer set up. TAKE A HINT INFINITY WARD!

my bunghole is gonna be a-ok
man the ps3 is extremely worth it
whether it's worth it if you already have a 360 is another question
you suck balls

If the second part weren't true I'd go with the first. Guess I'll wait it out like I did for the ps2 until FFXII finally broke my will.
There most likely won't be a 360 port. Well, not if Kojima has his way still. I'd forget about the possibility for now.
EDIT: That said, the Gears of War port was a huge clusterfuck.
That was amazing.
That or Gran Turismo 5.
I know I didn't buy a PS2 until the GT3 bundle (well and my employer gave me $100 credit towards a current system..)
God-fucking-dammit.
More coffee.

Halo is shit and has done fuck all to really push games forward, except to get extra consoles in frat boy's rooms.
however as long as both consoles pull in fairly good numbers, it is gamers who win as competition ensures both companies can't rest on their laurels.
and also: i hope this bundle comes to the EU regions D: I already have one of those eu 60gigs but I know people who were waiting for this to happen.
if I had 500 dollars
more liek gaylo
m i rite?!
that being said, I really enjoyed playing the first one on co-op.
Yes, this is me being an elitist twat. I don't care.
Fuck off.

HL2 is seriously my favourite FPS game ever.
could you tell by the avatar? i don't think it's obvious enough.
having said that, STALKER (minus the bugs) is making a serious run at the top spot.
Splinter Cell is better than MGS.
errrrrrrrrrrrr.
Splinter Cell 1 was good, the rest are throwaway Ubisoft games.
