yes, but working in retail i know that no one buys wiiplay for the game, they buy it for the controller and figure what the hell ill get 9 more games for $10. whereas the used ones...no one buys at all cause they dont come with the controller.

Not to mention some stores thing they can price a used copy of WiiPlay for way more than its worth. (aka more than $10)

[izembo]

seriously, no one wants the $50 wiiplay for the wiiplay game, so $30 for a used copy is hella overpriced, the $50 is for controller+$10 game, not for a $50 game with a free controller.

Wait, what?

A+ for BOOM BLOX?

Puzzle games usually get high marks, it looks interesting, which reminds me I played the echochrome demo and it was good and relaxing.

On another note, oh boy the game boxes have gone down the toilet in quality, you used to be able to tell what the game was about just by watching the back of a game box, but nowadays they pick the most meaningless pictures and little to no explanation. On the other hand there is always the intertet if you want to know what the game is about, videos included, but still

I saw that review earlier, I'm actually thinking about picking the game up now. I always thought it looked cool but wasn't sure how it'd ultimately play, but it looks like the game has been validated.

Anybody know if the American gunmetal PS3 bundle with MGS will be 80g? I just see people talking about the JP one being 40g. Probably answered my own question

[Merovingian]

I know i'm one day late but haze demo up in the EU PSN... dunno whats the hype about this game, didnt like it that much.

[Exoduso]

I bet it'll be up tomorrow on the NA store when they update it (thursday updates), so not gonna bother with a new account.

Either way I lost interest in the game when they kept pushing it back, it looks cool but meh... probably just another shootan.

thats why i didnt like it because it feels like another shooter.

btw dunno if its going to be on the NA PSN tomorrow maybe next week since this was a EU special for the playstation day. Also i heard they are going to release the bourne conspirancy(sp) demo on EU PSN tomorrow.

A definite step in the right direction. If Nintendo would drop the friend codes in favor of a universal ID and add mic support, they could actually start having a pretty solid online offering once WiiWare launches too.

What is this channel for?

Two fold purpose. It turns your Wii into a DS-demo station, similar to the kind of thing you'd find at Toys'R'Us, etc., where you can download game demos to your DS. It also has trailers/commercials for Wii games, and a few other smaller features.

Not bad.. now if only they'd WiiWare release soon. The console needs demos bad.

WiiWare is this Monday, I can't wait.

Definately picking up Blast Blox after that review and World of Goo. Gonna wait a little bit to read some reviews of Crystal Chronicles and LostWinds. Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People also looks kinda cool, and that advanced Space Invaders was kinda nice.
