In China only for right now I guess. No word on when/if it's coming to America.

The maps you can tell are from COD4 and MW2.

A New, $99 Console Called Ouya Is Real and Radically Different From Xbox, PlayStation and Wii

I don't even know what to make of this. A $99 Android based, free-to-play game console?

Looks like a giant foot stool.

So, There Might Be a New PS3

First the fat, then the slim, now the super-slim? It'd be cool if it's cheaper than the current slim.

Activision's making a Walking Dead FPS

Developed by Terminal Reality, The Walking Dead FPS will focus on controversial white supremacist brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon as they try to survive in the zombie-infested wasteland of Atlanta. Gameplay will be a mix of stealth—where you'll need to avoid the undead enemis' sense of smell, sight and hearing—and shooting, along with the kind of medical supply hoarding and resource management that's been shown. You'll also meet other human characters who can join you on your quest to survive and choices to have others join your party will probably affect the narrative.

I still have a fat PS3. Need to get a slim one because mine has too little memory

Have you looked into buying a bigger HDD for it? On my old fat one I bought a 320 GB HDD for $50 and replaced my 40 GB HDD.

When I got my 120GB Slim though, I took my old 320 GB HDD and gave it to my buddy who still had a fat and it wouldn't work inside it for some reason.

I haven't. Would it be easy to install?

Any good games on the cheap?

:yep:

Resistance: Fall of Man is $5 at Gamestop- Set during the 1940's but and Alien race invaded Earth and nearly everyone is dead. It's a first person shooter
Batman Arkham Asylum is below $20
Mass Effect 2 is below $20
Heavy Rain is below $20
Rayman Origins is below $20
So is Fallout 3, Oblivion, Burnout Paradise, Grand Theft Auto IV, Dead Space, Call of Duty World at War and a bunch of other great games.

 

[HighJump31]

I haven't. Would it be easy to install?

Yep, was pretty easy for me. Your HDD is on the (assuming your console is laying flat) left side under a removable panel. Unscrew a blue screw and you can pull it out. It's laying in a tray held in by four screws. Just place the new HDD in the tray and screw in those four screws, slide it back in the PS3 and screw in the blue screw.

There's YouTube videos on how to do it.

I won't be held responsible if yours breaks during installation though :lol:

 

[USCChiFan]

I think I'd rather spend the extra money on a slim. I'd probably break my PS3 doing this :lol:

Or clean out old files and wait for the PS4

Xbox 720 will cost $99 with cable TV subscription predicts Pachter

Market analyst Michael Pachter is at it again:

“I think Microsoft’s got it right [with their console strategy], and I think Sony will keep plugging away because they have an integrated strategy across all of their consumer electronic products. Microsoft, they have a strategy to take over the world.

“Console will have to be multiple purpose devices, though. The Xbox 720, this is my prediction, is going to be your television as well [as your game console]. You’ll be able to tune into television through it.

“You wont need a ‘smart TV’ when you’ve got an Xbox 720, it will be your television and your internet. It’s going to be open architecture and I think it’s real trick will be that one Xbox will be able to display television to as many screens as you have in your possession.

“The next Xbox will be Windows for sure, and you’ll be able to open up multiple TV channels in different windows and you’ll use SmartGlass to shoot off different channels to how ever many screens you want. That is happening, that I’m certain of.

“I’m pretty confident that in the US Microsoft is going to partner with a cable TV provider, so I expect that the console will be priced like a smart phone. I expect you’ll be paying $99 for the console with a cable TV subscription.”

Metal Gear Solid 4 is finally getting Trophies

Finally after years of fans clamoring for them, MGS4 is finally getting trophies. MGS4 came out before trophies were mandatory, and before they even existed. Some games got trophy patches, like Uncharted and GTAIV, but MGS4 was not one of those game.

Good things comes to those to wait—or trophies, rather. MGS4 is finally getting PlayStation trophies via patch. The timeframe isn't clear, but it could be in August, when a budget re-release of the game hits in Japan.
