Upcoming Video Games Deal
Shift smoothly and hug those curves!

Could be Ridge Racer 7? GRID? Hoping the rumour that's persisting that it's the Driving Force GT wheel will turn out true. Oh god please make that sub 100 bucks and I'm all over that shit. OR
3) Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
4) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
5) Devil May Cry 4
6) Haze

Some good shit in there (and some really bad) if you don't have it already. Totally thinking of biting on Ratchet and (hopefully) the wheel.

Why can't they have Heavenly Sword on there for like 10 bucks or something. Racing wheel would be pretty bitchin though if it were cheap.

Ah, it IS the racing wheel, and it's only 90 bucks. Totally a fucking AWESOME price, and I'd buy it if it weren't YET ANOTHER ITEM offered that LOL CAN'T SHIP TO CANADA DURP DURP. The price of shipping the fucking thing twice and bouncing it off an America address defeats the purpose of any savings whatsoever. The second shipping and the incoming custom fees because of it's size and weight would be killer.

I'll have to look for one locally for a good price. Shit, that's too bad though. Wanted it BAD.

Heh, the deal came at a good time! My brother bought a PS3 yesterday and I decided that I should AT LEAST get one PS3 game so I ordered Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction right when it went on sale. XD

The sale didn't last for a minute though. Two of my brother's friends wanted to get on the deal too and only one of them manage to get it. @_@

Oh man, good work. My clock must have been off by a minute or something, since I totally missed the deal by the time I got here. Ratchet went in under two minutes, it's insane. I wonder how many copies they ended up having.

Uncharted's up next, and I'd recommend your brother grab that at a good price too, if he's interested. It's a good, solid game.

I told him about it and said he'll think about it. But when the time for the deal to start amazon gold box deal page didn't show up anything. So we kind of missed the boat (well he didn't have too much interest in the game anyway so...).

Guess too many people refreshing the page and their server cannot handle it. lol

same happen to me I tried to get uncharted but it never got through and then the page just didn't load anymore...

I was definitely gonna hop on Uncharted and DMC4 as well, but Uncharted was long gone by the time I got there (thanks a lot, school), and DMC4 disappeared just as I was checking out. Oh well, I'm sure they'll be on sale somewhere at another time.

Wow I haven't been on the forums in a while.

So I hop onto Warhawk for the first time in a long ass time, and update 1.50 pops up.

I download it, and BAM - it start's awarding me trophies from the stupid amount of time I played the game back in the day.

And that, kids, is the story of my first trophy ever.

I forgot the Warhawk patch came out today. I doubt I've actually played enough to have trophies already though. I like the game, I just don't play it that often, especially since a lot of the people who do are fucktards (and people wonder why everyone doesn't use headsets when playing online). I do want to try to get into it more, though.

I was thinking about picking up the newest expansions bundle, but when I logged in last night it hadn't appeared on the store yet. Might see if it's on there tonight when I get back from work.

Like Rock I doubt I've done anything to earn any trophies yet, unless there's ones for dying lots.

You'd be surprised, if the list is any indication, some of them are impossible NOT to get.

Warhawk Trophies

Power was out most of today, will have to put some time into this when I get the chance.

The newest expansion (which isn't supposed to come out until later today when the PSN store updates) is one of the reasons I want to get back into the game. Flying around in jet-packs adds a whole new element to the gameplay and pretty much breathes new life into the game again.

I read somewhere that you can get all 3 Warhawk expansion packs for $14.99, in case anyone's looking to get into the game and save some money.

I went to update my Warhawk and my PS3s video completely wigged out. Sony customer support told me to try different wires but, I have an odd feeling that won't solve anything.

Here's some video I took, because I have no idea how to explain this:

YouTube Video
Get the Flash Player to play this youtube video file.

This one is a little bit more typical:

YouTube Video
Get the Flash Player to play this youtube video file.

Sony told me to reset the video settings which is why its 480i in the videos, and it worked the first time I did it for a little while: by the time I got to the video settings and changing my output to component cables, it was done again.

I removed the disc, cleaned it, set my video to component. All ok. Then I booted up. Ok, seems to be working. Reinserted Warhawk, managed to update. Ok. It froze again while trying to book the game after the Playstation 3 screen.

After it froze, I tried to boot with the game disk in and it instantly froze again.

Boot with no game disc: Works fine again. Inserted Soul Calibur IV: No go. It froze on the "Update Found" screen, but no graphical mess. Trying to boot it now and I'm getting no signal from the console at all for two tries.

Got video to work with Soul Calibur IV disc inserted. It boots, after 3 seconds the video starts to fail again.

It's also been powered off for a few hours which may be why it started working again. This wouldn't make sense as disc-based boots seem to fail, but boots where the drive is empty booted ok... except...

Removed Soul Calibur IV to try another empty boot. I wanted to test downloaded games. Instant fail. I looked up from typing this and it was flickering already. Tried again, managed to get to The Last Guy but it instantly started flickering and failed. Powering it off for a while until I get more ideas. I'm baffled.

It's easy to assume perhaps the system overheated, however I keep it on standby so it shouldn't get that hot. Furthermore, my dorm has A/C on and the PS3 is next to an open window which almost always has a breeze. It shouldn't have overheated. Even during these tests, the amount of heat that the system emitted is fairly normal, if not cool. My Macbook Pro gets a LOT hotter.

edit2//
Tried my Wii, also hooked up on my other set of Component ports, absolutely no problems. Then I got the idea to switch the component ports the Wii and PS3 were using to see if maybe they were faulty. Not the case. Booted it up and the time I had it powered off gave me enough time to boot The Last Guy (The last game I bought and played, Thursday night). It got to The Last Guy main screen before it froze. No real graphical problems this time except you could see pixels that froze (turned white). I took video but I might not bother posting it since I'm sure people get the point.

Need to find a way to test the cables.

I'd start copying my saves to a memory stick if I were you.

If the US has any kind of system similar to ours, your machine is off to testing and replacement if it does the same thing there.

Hey guys, it's me! I need some support! I downloaded the Super Stardust HD Team Pack add-on the other day and well, it just doesn't work at all (?)
I would assume the problem is that I got the original game from the US PSN store and the add-on from the European PSN store.

You guys know anything about that? Thanks in advance!

Add-ons are region-specific.
