Picked up this Sony PVM monitor yesterday for $10! I am only using composite currently until I can get some supplies to make some RGB cords. Just on composite it still looks fantastic! The screen refreshes so fast, everything is so silky smooth like butter

Metal of Honor is a decent game there Nec :)

I stopped off at one of the few remaining Blockbusters in Canada and they were up to 70% off the entire store and they had some decent stock left....so i stocked up on a few ps3 games.... after the discount the cheapest was $3 and highest was $15  8)

I've been wanting to play alice, heard it was good
Crysis 2 though, that's got a sweet campaign.

BlueBMW

Crysis 2?  Yeesh, I only recently finished Crysis 1 lol.  Had to wait for my computer to catch up with the specs that game demanded.

Lol I beat Crysis 1 a couple years back when I built a Crossfire HD 3850 rig. Not a bad game at all. Beat Crysis 2 when it came out for pc also on my newer Crossfire system. It ran pretty smooth even on a single card, but even my sons Athlon II X3 435/Radeon HD 4830 system handled the game well on medium settings @1440x900. Crysis 2 kinda looks and runs like ass on PS3. So does Alice. The Pc release of Alice curb stomps the console ones with way better visuals,fps, and Physx support. Really to be expected though. Consoles are based off of 5+ year old tech, and the PS3 Nvidia gpu is already a bit weaker then the older Xbox 360 AMD Xenos gpu. I need to sit down and do a run through of Alice on my SLI rig. One day soon I hope....

I was running on a crossfire system with two 6850 cards which was fine for running on a single screen, but I have a 3 screen setup that I like to use whenever possible and Crysis is one of those games that actually supports ultra wide resolutions.  It only choked on the final boss battle :D  Guess I need to try some of these newer games...

ya guys those 2 games i was surprised to see with a 70% store wide sale... but i had to ask if there were any other ps3 games as they were behind the counter :) Once i finish with Resistance 3 and Singularity i will be onto Alice, suppose to be a good game.

and "Prof" i will  let you know how she runs, but like you said its really hard to beat a PC for gaming.

Sparky, are you using the move gun for Resistance 3?

nah...i would like to try it but with a price tag of $149 moose bills i say no... maybe later when it comes down in price.
Its still a solid game!!!

TheClash603

I tried the move gun with resistance 3 and it was absolutely terrible.  You are better off without it.

Great series though.  Between that and Ratchet and Clank, best 2 series on Playstation now.

Got a relative coming from Japan soon so I did some selective pickup at Y! auctions JP:
with all the shipping and credit card fees / high yen exchange rate - it comes out to about $100 USD. 
I will make peace with the JP version of Dynastic Hero  :wink: :wink:
Been wanting to playing Afterburner II and Atomic Robo Kid forever too!
Vigilente will bring back my childhood arcade memories.
Ranma is awesome and the best digital comic ever made, great to polish up my Japanese too with full menu and speech  8-[ 8-[
Lastly, Quiz Shashin is one mofo-rare game!!  Glad to finally found it  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:   <-- Henry - you wanted this too right?? maybe we can work something out...  8)

That movie is full of great lines.  :)

"Hey Fuckass, get me a beer!"

"Where you goin'? Nowhere."

"We'll start the ass-kissing with you."

"serial-crushed by some huge friggin' guy"

Willem Dafoe's character made the movie.  Without him the second movie wasn't nearly as good.  I wonder when the third one's coming out?

Depends on the quality. I would estimate at around $300-$500 depending on the seller/maker.

I have not played Aero Fighters 2 enough yet to say anything about it but I played Prehistoric Isle 2 alot and I think its one of the best shooters on the MVS.
