Course.

You don't think Bill Gates's wealth is going to plummet when he steps down, do you?

I have maintained a passive interest in the new Banjo-Kazooie title for some time, mainly due to the possibility that the original might be put on XBLA. but these new developments sound interesting and I'd like to hear more about them.

In local game news, Bongo Bill's first comic replacement game just concluded! It was fun! Guild has suggested that we play again! I suggest that you participate!

Okay so I want this, and I have a check coming in riiiiight about May 19 that's riiiiiight about the $600 price tag, and...

Oh wait, you get half the HD space because it's gray?

Ha ha, oh you crazy funsters at Sony. How I love not buying your shit until the price drops.

Speaking of MGS4, it's going to have a lot of product placements.

I love how it has the ® behind it.

What is it you want, Brentai?

Brentai · « **Reply #146 on:** May 16, 2008, 07:36:35 AM »

what th...

fine it's the mgs4 gray ps3 with half the hd space of a normal ps3 but for $100 more ok?

Arc · « **Reply #147 on:** May 16, 2008, 07:56:15 AM »

... Which not only has to be ordered direct from Konami, but is also at odds with the 80GB MGS4 bundle which is going to retail at $100 less.

Arc's link says that the Dual Shock 3 is set to be released in North America in April 2008. Is it actually out right now?

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #149 on:** May 16, 2008, 01:03:31 PM »

May 21st or 22nd.

I've seen people buy DS3s. Was I just hallucinating?

Arc · « **Reply #151 on:** May 16, 2008, 01:30:31 PM »

They've been filtering out onto the market since early April, and one will be included with the 80GB MGS4 bundle.

I bought one at Best Buy about two weeks ago. I was surprised to see them, but then just assumed they had been fully released.

Niku · « **Reply #153 on:** May 16, 2008, 03:42:45 PM »

Yeah, I imported one and it arrived pretty much right around the US release date, at like a five dollar savings to me. Thanks, Play-Asia sale!

Brentai · « **Reply #154 on:** May 16, 2008, 11:02:20 PM »

Also only has a 40GB hard drive.

What's up with that, anyway? Is there some law that says that anything that looks cool has to have shitty stats? This isn't a Blizzard game, guys.

Niku · « **Reply #155 on:** May 16, 2008, 11:07:20 PM »

why do you need 80 gigs anyway

also the ps3 doesn't use proprietary drives so you could just put your own in if you DID need a big hard drive for some reason

I'm not saying it's not retarded, but it's not deal breakingly retarded.

Brentai · « **Reply #156 on:** May 16, 2008, 11:16:26 PM »

Going all-out on a vanity piece and getting a product that is functionally inferior to the standard model is a deal breaker. If the image is all you care about, then the image you're giving off to everybody in the know is that you're a massive tool.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #157 on:** May 17, 2008, 06:38:36 AM »

So pretty much whoever bought the debut PS3?

Arc · « **Reply #158 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:38:57 AM »

Considering the debut editions produce the best backwards compatibility, those purchases suddenly became 15% less toolish.

Either don't buy it, or just buy a god damned bigger hard drive for it, is I guess what my advice would be.

I spent 20 dollars extra just to get an MGS4 with box art that matched up with the previous games. Either it's important and/or affordable enough to you or it's not, who gives a shit about whether anyone thinks your choice of ps3 color over pre-installed harddrive size is so not cool.
