Fallout 3 Survival Edition = Huge Waste of Money

Now, I haven’t purchased Fallout 3 yet, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to buy the Survival Edition no matter what, but here’s a little snippet from a Ripten article:

Considering the assumed limited quantity, some people seem to have purchased it with the intent of reselling as there have already been listings of the Survival Edition at a jacked-up price, like $300. I, on the other hand, bought it because I was a fan and I wanted that Pip-Boy!

For an extra $50, I assumed the Pip-Boy was going to be awesome. It’s not. While it might be awesome for a cosplayer since it has a hinge and can be snapped onto your arm (not my arm, for I’m way too buff), its only option is to be battery powered — there is no way to plug it in.

So here you have a digital clock that looks like a Pip-Boy, and all it’s really good for is telling time. It sits on its poorly crafted ‘display stand’ (I broke a piece putting it together) and that’s it. It doesn’t even have an alarm. While you may be thinking “What did you expect?”, quite honestly I expected more than a cheap ‘replica’ of a Pip-Boy made out of toy-gun plastic if I was being charged $50 for it.  How about some metal or high-quality resin.

Microsoft you misleading son of a….

This is just plain bullshit microsoft. With Micsrosoft’s new ‘Live Your Moment’ marketing campaign that their kicking off, their putting out all of their new commercials on your television.

Hmmmm…….sure, the Xbox 360 can download and play HD movies but the Xbox 360 displayed is priced at GBP 129.99, the Arcade version, which lacks a hard drive. It says nothing about the fact that the 360 doesn’t actually come with one, just that you need one. I think that this is definitely a cheap-shot, and their just trying to sell more consoles and beat out the PS3.

4 reasons why Nintendo’s October conferences kicked the crap out of E3

A portion from a Nintendo Everything article:

1. Game montages/trailers

Video montages/trailers of Wii and DS titles were pretty much absent from Nintendo’s E3 media briefing this year. It is unfortunate that the company largely ignored video content, as visual representation of games could have definitely complimented some of Nintendo’s scarce announcements by adding some actual substance to their media presentation.

Well, I think that pretty much everybodies conferences sucked at E3, so any conferences after that couldn’t be much worse…

Congrats Sony! PS3 Outsells Xbox 360 in Q2 Worldwide

Well, the first thing that I’m going to say is congratulations Sony! It looks like the Playstation 3 outsold the Xbox 360 in Q2 worldwide! Worldwide, the PS3 sold 2.43 million consoles throughout the period, according to Q2 FY 2008 figures (nearly double what they did last year). This now puts Sony ahead of Microsoft, who recently told AFP the 360 sold 2.2 million units during the same period. It looks like a good time for all of the people at Sony, and we can only hope that the PS3 keeps it up!
