Anyone else hear that RE Revelations and the 3DS attachment costs €65 in total in Gamestop?

Thank feck I got them together from Zavvi. Was about half the price!

Well, they are selling the game alone for 40 in Smyths, which isn't too bad.
The add on should only be around 15 when launched and I'm in no rush for it (ah, who am I kidding, I should never have cancelled my pre-order, getting them both for less that €40!! )

Ah no! Shame you did that! I doubt it'll be anywhere near that cheap again

If they wrapped one of those VGA boxes around the glue homer head it'd be worth even more!

After all the lego posts, I somehow managed to stumble upon the strangest lego video I have ever seen...

Played the PS Vita earlier in Game, I needed clean undies after it.
What a console, controls are pretty good the thumb sticks feel quality the screen is beautiful and the boxes off the games are awesome.

One issue though is load times, I was playing little deviants, not overly pushing graphics power and it took ages (measuered with a calander) to load the game, other than that the device is totally amazeballs!!

It's really nice isnt it and the game cases are so cool. I bought one while over in Japanoland in December.

Do they have a release date over here yet?

22nd Feb so they told me.

They lied!!
Seriously the game took over 30 seconds to load and it wasn't sucking the power dry as it isn't a power vampire of a game

I fear for the Uncharted game on it then. Uncharted 3 has the longest load times since the ZX Spectrum.

Atavan-Halen

I thought the original psp was quite bad for load times as it is.

Something which has been driving me mad for years.

I know MAME buttons can be remapped, but why are the default ones ctrl+alt?

A combination of those two buttons and an arrow key roates the display!

pdbhp

Well if you buy uncharted now and start loading today it should be loaded in time for the Vita launch.

Other issues with the design, the PS home button is directly under the left analogue stick dying to be pressed by accident and the start/select buttons are likewise directly under the right analogue stick.
Rear touch pad is kinda difficult to use, though for games that solely use it are not too bad but if combined with using the analogue sticks and face buttons it's tricky to use.

Good points are the touch screen, very precise. looks extremly sexy aswell.

All in all it's fantastic but it's like a magnet for finger prints and will need to be wiped down every few seconds.

Oh I know that headache! I think you can disable the rotation thing in windows though.

The words of someone who has never played Ys 6 on the PSP.

There's nothing worse than a game that has to load for five to ten seconds when you walk into a very small building in the hub village

DinoRex

I played Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga. Everything else is a luxury after that.

The Duke Nukem Forever loading music would also drive the strongest of men insane. Especially when it leads to nothing but a brickwall of pitiful mediocrity.

My pot of Vita admiration has had the heat reduced from a boiling harem of love to a mere simmer at present.

Was going to be a day one for me, not so much now. I'm going to wait it out and see what happens in Japan first I think. It's popularity has waned incredibly quickly.

Hadn't a notion what you were talking about when I read that first. Had to reread it a couple of times

Cheers man I only figured out you could do 3D pictures after drawing that. If I'd known I would have had some of it popping out of the screen.

I eagerly await penis illustrations now!

You mean you didn't get my previous ones? Sorry about that. Must have sent them all to Atavan.

...

It's not grooming if they're only drawings, right?

Reminded me of a videogame for some reason. Kinda scary that it's real. A time lapse of the location of every nuclear device ever detonated around the globe.

Just wait until it kicks off at the start of the 50. Feckin Americans and Russians are insane.
