It's official: PlayStation 3 price drops to $299 (Joystiq)

Aug 18th 2009 1:59PM I think the PS3 is a pretty good deal for $299, but I answered "No" in the poll. Reasons? I already own a decent PC and a 360 which are "good enough" for my gaming needs. There's some great games on the PS3 I'd like to try, but I frankly don't have time to play all the PC/360 games I want to as it is. The other reason is that to get the most out of the PS3 you really need a HD tv, which I don't own, and so that $299 quickly increases by another $1k or so (for a decent size/model HD tv) to get good use out of it. In the current economy it's hard to justify that.

Only one more day to pre-order Windows 7 upgrades for half off (Download Squad)

The chart here (bottom of page) indicates you can upgrade from anything to anything else (well, XP or Vista to Win7) but if you aren't upgrading from same to same (ex, Ultimate to Ultimate or Home to Home) you'll need to do a clean install:

Doom Resurrection is an on-rails shooter (Joystiq)

Jun 12th 2009 1:43AM I was kinda interested in this, but nah. Why not release a port of the original DOOM, like they did for Wolf3D?

Now Playing: May 24-30, 2009 (Joystiq)

May 25th 2009 11:44AM Clay Fighter on Wii VC! ... probably one of those games that's much better in my memory than it would be to actually play it again.

US Trade Representative puts Canada on piracy watch list (Joystiq)

Finally: Snoop Dogg is rolling onto Rock Band (Joystiq)

Feb 10th 2009 4:17PM Given how worthless and generally annoying to play the Beastie Boys songs are to play in RB1&2, I can't imagine Snoop Dogg's being any better, but we'll see. Not saying anything bad about either artist, but there surely are songs that are much better suited to Rock Band (and would be more fun to play) ...

NYCC 09: Returning to Wolfenstein (why?) (Joystiq)

Feb 9th 2009 8:05PM Seems like a perfectly cromulent screenshot.

Jack Thompson, GamePolitics discuss God's wrath on Take-Two (Joystiq)

Dec 30th 2008 11:55PM As a Christian I must say that he certainly is not representative of how most Christians think. A moron is still a moron regardless of his religion (or lack thereof) and Thompson is still a moron regardless of his license to practice law or disbarment.

Liveblogging the 2008 Video Game Awards (Joystiq)

Dec 14th 2008 10:59PM VGAs suck but Weezer performing "The Greatest Man..." live is awesome, I assumed they'd do "Pork & Beans" which woulda been great too, but, yeah, that NEARLY made up for the rest of the crap.
