Bump in anticipation of this weekend's Smash release. Every single one of you jerks better post your numbers.

If anyone cares, Target is having a sale. You know those prepaid cards, that have Xbox Live arcade download codes on them? Like, you can buy a Mortal Kombat card, or a Worms card? Well: Buy 1 @ $9.99, get 1 of equal or lesser value free. I have MK and Worms now. The selection isn't great at my store, sadly... I think you have Worms, MK, Geo Wars, and one other thing.

Nope. You need the HD DVD drive to upconvert, AND it will only upconvert if your 360 is hooked up with VGA or HDMI.

This doesn't seem popular on the 360 anymore, from what I can gather... Still uber popular on the PC. It's easier to patch the PC version, anyway. Has the 360 version or PS3 version even got the new Badlands map?

Which end goes into the TV? HDMI?

So this game jumped the shark, eh?

You can generally get Gears for PC for $40 or less, if you look for sales.

Still Alive (the song from Portal) confirmed for Rock Band.

Apollo Justice came out yesterday in the US.

I follow wrestling, but no sports. Generally, I talk about nerd things.

I guess it's time for a megabump to this thread. Picked up Apollo Justice, (put the keychain thingy on), and dove into the first case. Wow. I have to say that this is the most epic first case ever. And my favorite swerve:

The Italian press release was leaked. At GDC, this should be announced for a November release. Source: Kotaku

I'd keep checking cheapassgamer.com if I wanted one.

I'm late to the party on a lot of things, but god Mass Effect is fun. I have a hard time being a jerk, but I have a hard time being all loving and emo. So I'm a dumbass neutral who agrees with everyone. I solved the preaching issue in the Citadel by making both people happy. I also found out that being neutral (or good) doesn't get me laid with the consort. Apollo Justice arrives tomorrow, kids. Buybuybuy.

360 - Recent price drop. Just ran into some shortage issues. Don't expect another drop for around a year or so. PS3 - Two drops since launch. PS3 is picking up momentum. Don't expect a price drop anytime soon. Wii - They have absolutely no reason at the moment to drop the price. No price drop for at least 12 months.

Yea i'm sure none of them have any interest in playing games like Uncharted, GTA4, Gran Turismo 5, Devil May Cry 4, Resistance 1 and 2, Final Fantasy, Unreal Tournament, Metal Gear, Various Sports games, etc. I would buy a next gen system, for purposes of playing King of Fighters XII, if I didn't already have one.

Oh boy, Guitar Hero Aerosmith. At least 360 and PS3 get a free song. Dream On is the only song I could conceivably care about.

Anyone from TSM going to the house show at Staples tomorrow?

I'm pleasantly unsurprised that you were the one to answer me. Ditto on the KoF anime though. ... or a King/Vanessa doujin. Both Z and I would kill for a good one. -Annie You and I both know that KoF doujins, from here on in, are shota territory. No one does any KoF doujins anymore, other than Saigado.

Way the hell farther than 8 months, and not 9 terabytes. But the disc technology exists and is being tested. If Blu-Ray can hold full movies at the maximum resolution that a TV can show, the only improvements could be the bitrate, and to improve the sound quality. So not a whole lot of point to the discs.

Second season is almost here. Wish there was a KoF anime that was really good, too.

I have borne witness to the King of Fighters XII trailer, and it is glorious. I think those sprites are in HD.

I think the is incredible animation for a shounen TV series. Also, the new Death Note manga was translated. Thoughts? Do we care? I don't know why it needs to exist, personally.

No more Matt Young'in it.

They already fucked up Cloverfield with the prequel manga, as far as I'm concerned. Just localize that and release it stateside.
