It is such a pain in the ass to get this thing repaired. I guess my Warranty expired in march of 09...

If you got the red ring thing, they will fix it/have it shipped for free.

Sent it in today 

I got mine back in about 8 days, it's not too long of a wait.

So, FO:NV is pretty bad ass. . .

So I am playing RDR. Should I say eff it and start shooting innocent people for fun? I get kinda bored doing the missions.

If you have the bandana, then yes.

I'll probably get the zombie pack tonight, looks awesome. 6 hours of single player content.

Anyone get KINECT?

[kitten_mittons]

Which do you guys think will be better?  PS Move, or Kinect?  I thought the KINECT would be cooler since you don't have to use a controller, but I saw a demo video of it, and it looked like it wasn't nearly as responsive.  PS Move looks like a more accurate version of the wiimote.

Any other old people on the fence about Civ 5?  Some things look good, others don't.  Want to know if I should drop $50 or wait a year or two for some Gold pack.

I still haven't picked it up. At this point, I'll probably wait and see if Steam puts it on their annual Christmas sale.

Normally, a Civ release warranted an entire day off of work so I could pick up my pre-sale copy and nerd out.

This time, I wasn't even aware it dropped until I saw it on the shelf at Target.

Civ 4 is the only game I have loaded on my laptop, so if I don't get Civ 5, I'm basically done gaming.

It's very good.

worse case just save your game in another slot first, and go crazy with that save file.


and the zombies are pretty fun so far.

Hmm.  Now I'm torn.

Just traded in a bunch of old cds and some cruddier games to Vintage Stock the other day for credit. Today they are having a buy 2 get 1 on used games. I went to one store and picked up for my ps3: The Saboteur, The Simpsons Game, and Fallout 3 for bout 33 bucks total. Now I've got bout 45 left of store credit and am heading to the other store. If they have them at a good price I'll go for Assassin's Creed 2, Infamous, Mirrors Edge. However, Red Dead is an option if I decide to F it and just get something tight.

[pissclams]

[PowercatPat]

[pissclams]

ya i decided to wait on black ops.  trey arch sucks and after watching some you tube previews of the mp, it reminds me too much of World at War.  which sucked.

[ew2x4]

I went ahead and preordered Black Ops. Traded in Reach and ODST. Got $45 for the both with whatever promotion they had.

My friend got Super Meat Boy and loves it.

[pissclams]

Yeah I went ahead and dl'd the meatboy demo, its great

[kstatefreak42]

Thoughts on Medal of Honor? Been told that game is for real.

[hemmy]

Boycott Black Ops, dedicated servers limited to 1 really shitty provider.
