I can either get an arcade and a separate 60 gig hd for $300, or I can get an elite bundled with a 120 gig and two games for $300
e: thanks Keith, I'll check out Gamestop as I think I have some store credit leftover from my last DS game trade in
The hard drive prices are weird right now because they just came out with the 250GB hard drive for $130 but the other hard drives haven't dropped in price (even the used ones).
So you could get that bundle I talked about for $200, trade in the 20GB hard drive (it's probably like $10 in trade-in) and pick up a 250GB for like $320 total, with an extra controller
that's if you don't really care about Halo and Forza. If you want to play those I'd say just get the Elite
imo, the elite is the way to go. it's cheap now too.
it's not a bad deal. right now it's bundled with Forza 3 and Halo 3: ODST, and GameStop's giving out a free $50 gift card with the purchase of an elite
it does just come with composite cables, though
it comes with a composite and a/v adapter. can't remember if an hdmi is included. i think not though. but i still ended up with 4 hdmi cables that came from god-knows-where. maybe my monitor.

since the price dropped to $299 they haven't come with hi-def cables at all. just composite.
it's been even longer for it to have an HDMI cable, I think

Forza doesn't let you launch your car off the top of a building for some awesome crashes
or let you drive a delorean

(also I'm more into arcadey style racing than realistic, so that depends on you, Usagi!!)
Hey dru it was nice to talk to you. I just want you to know I didn't cover myself in crotch all weekend long. I had been drinking and I don't know why I told you that
I look forward to meeting you.
I hope you can either make Prime, or that beerpax comes together in Oct and that we can all make it.
I missed talking to dru and the other mystery person. Well, to be honest, I think I actually threatened the mystery person but it wasn't so much a conversation, per say.

Oh my god I had forgotten about this.

In a perfect world at both events, but we will see!

Pushed to October.
There's simply no way I can make this happen in April or May and to hell with carting around 15 people to go drinking in the middle of summer and then oh hey, whoops, PAX West (yea..ours was awesome and prime can no longer be used, punks) and then hooray for October.

You know...Oktoberfest and all that.
I just ask that you get the dates nailed down at least a couple of months out. The more advance notice I have of the date, the better my chances of getting the time off.
I'm not a great judge of it actually. I tend to avoid 3D movies because it makes my eyes hurt and leaves me with an incredible headache.
However, the time I did spend watching it was pretty incredible. The FPS was split across three screens and just really well done. The guy was running through the jungle and plants and all kinds of things were popping out. After about a minute though I had to stop watching.

I thought it looked very good. Thought I heard some people had a little trouble fitting the 3d glasses over their real glasses.
I was talking to the guy running that booth and he was explaining to me how it was different from 3d glasses you get at the movies. And in all honesty I thought it did look much better than the 3d movie gimmicks.

but Oktoberfest takes place mostly in September!
that's a long time to push it back. I don't know how the weather gets in Lancaster but in Philly it's not too bad until the middle of July
although the way the weather's been so far this year it'll probably be 100 degrees every other day, with the day in between being like 40
edit: also, the West Coast totally doesn't know how to rock the 4th of July

If that was the case then you were clearly cheating on me with Vermi.
Slut.
edit: Picking up an HDMI cable for 6 bucks is easy peasy.
I can either get an arcade and a separate 60 gig hd for $300, or I can get an elite bundled with a 120 gig and two games for $300

"Think of it as Evolution in Action"
I saw that too but didn't care for either of the bundled games.

I was just going to tweet you and ask - where does Forza rank in your pantheon of driving games?
At the very top. I, of course, have Forza 3 already, but I have a friend who is crazy about getting it.
Excellent.

if you go to best buy(for sure) or amazon(i think) you get a $50 gift card with the bundle
unless I didn't misunderstand you and that's actually what you said the first time
in which case what the fuck dude?
:P
Awesome, thanks!
Just have to discuss the potential impact on mutual finances tonight
i don't know what my life is going to be like by then, though!!

3D fucking gaming.
Ever see Bioshock in 3d? We have. Same with one of the FPSes, but I forget which.
Other than that I think the only games we actually bothered to try and play were the indie showcase stuff. A lot of that was neat.
