Damnit Kabbage I'm trying to resist dropping my rapidly decreasing holiday fund on that tab as is.

It is just rad as hell, Brentai

The minimal keyboard input takes some getting used to, though it comes with a wireless one if you want to set up the tablet like a monitor and completely defeat the purpose of having a tablet PC.

Also: Going to keep the amount of clutter to a minimum, but I think I might try Civ 5 and see how it works with a tablet pen. Older DOS games like X-Com are still kinda iffy with the touchscreen. Might try Master of Orion 2.

Question for the Canadians who buy console games.

I have not bought any of these in years and my brother wants some PS3 games for Christmas. Who generally has the best prices? EB? WalMart? Google is not really helpful here, nor is RedFlagDeals.

Also, what's the deal with buying used PS3 games these days (I have not followed all the right-of-first-sale activation code stuff, so I dunno if there's a problem with buying used?)? The main thing he wants is the Uncharted trilogy, I think.

Thanks.

Uncharted 3 has the online pass bullshit that you'll need to pay $10 for on the PSN if you buy it used. It comes free in new copies.

U1 and U2 should be fine buying used.

EB's good. Their prices are reasonable. If you have any old games lying around and want to trade them in, they'll be accomodating (within reason, I mean. Don't come in with a floppy-disk copy of King's Quest V and expect to get back money that can be measured in dollars).

Amazon's my go-to (for pretty much everything) here in the States, and I can't imagine them running business much differently in .ca. Looks like your base price is about five funbux more for #3, but that in USD is what I usually consider an acceptable extra cost to get it from Az direct.

This is good, because I was probably going to see if I could buy U1 and U2 used and get U3 new (since it's fairly recent).

Sadly, Amazon is useless in Canada.

I'm trying to sell a sealed copy of Assassin's Creed Revelations for the PS3 for 30 bucks. Would anyone be interested or know someone who would be?

Dear Internets:

Geneon Entertainment, which licensed many good anime, and many bad anime, went belly up, taking their anime with them.

This has made finding a box set of Fate/Stay Night rather butt-frustratingly hard.

A) Anyone selling theirs?
B) Anyone have a Hastings or any other store that has a remarkable propensity to have sealed old stuff on their shelves in their area they wouldn't mind sticking their head in and seeing if they have one?

So, the DVD release of Mysterious Cities of Gold. I assume one of you has it, or has had it pass by you. Does it have a subtitled version on those disks?

Brentai · « **Reply #371 on:** February 09, 2012, 08:43:13 PM »

From which language?

Classic · « **Reply #372 on:** February 09, 2012, 09:03:33 PM »

Japanese plz. Gotta weeaboo it up.

François · « **Reply #373 on:** February 09, 2012, 09:27:57 PM »

Man, no one ever wants to fromagaboo it up.

Classic · « **Reply #374 on:** February 09, 2012, 10:05:35 PM »

Only if it's Wakfu.

Mongrel · « **Reply #375 on:** February 09, 2012, 10:33:01 PM »

Which is basically French artists being huge weeaboos.

Well I actually asked because I prefer the European version. In English though.

Classic · « **Reply #377 on:** February 09, 2012, 11:10:39 PM »

Dunno which version I'm watching through netflix, but the sound has a lot of noise* in it and Esteban sounds like Fivel. Also water apparently has somnolent properties in this version.

EDIT:
*Signal noise, it's got a lot of background recording hiss. Not overuse of ambient sounds or something quite so trite.

Anyone know of some glorious, catch-all repository that lists all anime available to stream and on what site it's available? Something like canistream.it, but with anime episodes specifically.

I usually prefer to catch things legally before I resort to being the dirty, bloody pirate I truly am, but between hulu, netflix, anime news network, crackle, crunchyroll, funimation blah blah, and all their varying levels of subscriber exclusivity, hunting things down can be a pain.
