have you played it? I loved the old PS1 deceptions.

Far Cry 4 for $7.99 via Origin. Not as good as Far Cry 3 but plenty worth 8 bones.

Jet is offering a $25 off $50 purchase with code JETCOMSAVE2 for new customers. They're really trying to compete with Amazon, so they've been offering these coupon codes pretty frequently, and people have been creating lots of new accounts to cash in on them (with varying levels of success). Just picked up a 1 TB external HD for my Wii U for $30, but they have controllers, games, etc. Think this is the best deal I've seen them have so far.

Have you ordered from them before? How far do you have to sign up to be able to order? Can you cancel easily before they charge you the $50 monthly fee? I am reading a lot of complaints about that website online. This would be a sweet deal though because then I could get a brand new ps3 controller for $28 both the ones I have now died on me.

There is no membership now, I believe they dropped that model.

That is hilarious because I was just reading an article on Forbes about how they wanted to make all of their money from memberships and push prices on actual items lower and lower.

[Serra]

Yeah, no membership fee:

How much does Jet membership cost?
Jet membership is free and begins when you make your first purchase.

This is the first time I've ordered from them, but the thread where I found the code had a lot of people who have said they haven't had any problems. Will report if anything comes up though.

[zoobernut]

Well we will see how good Jet is. I ordered a new ps3 controller and I had to order a cheap $4 movie that I didn't already own to bump my order just over the $50 mark for that discount code. If this works it seems like a good deal though paid $28 including shipping for a dvd and a brand new ps3 controller. I hope this works.

Only complains Ive heard so far; they take their sweet ass time on returns, and when people order a specific video card, they semi often get the same model by a different manufacture.

It said in the confirmation email that my controller was being sent from ToysRus. Oh well I will report back here positive or negative about the site when I get my stuff.

Steam is having a huge holiday sale right now. Nothing fantastic, though I did get remastered Dark Souls 1 for 5 bucks.

[Charismatic]

..?
Remastered?
..?

Huh? There's a remastered Dark Souls 1? What? I'm so confused right now.

[Guitarman]

er...I mean the Prepare to Die edition.

Android versions of Final Fantasy III, IV, V and VI on sale for half off this weekend in the Play Store. I'd like to pick up one or two myself if anyone has suggestions which ports are particularly good (or bad). Saw some Dragon Quest half off as well.

[Tyrath]

I need FF7-9 for my Vita. Can those go on sale >_<

I, too, would like to know which of these ports are good.

[Ratatapa]

III and IV is the exact same as the DS version, which is good but with touch control

V and VI = no touch if you don't want your childhood to die

>III
>DS
>good

Ehhhh. Its kinda bleh to be honest. Neither user nor critic reviews are above an 8... and this is a FF game.

Unless you just really want to play them all, I'd say skip this one. Battles are a snail's pace, the story isn't particularly interesting and its just... not that fun.

If anything, I'd say try your hardest to get console versions of all of them. The mobile versions of 5 and 6 will make your eyes bleed and 3 DS is easily the worst remake.
IV is fine but quite a few people prefer to original version. I'd say that one is entirely a preference thing 'cause both versions have pros and cons.

[Krandor]

If you want to play V or VI on your phone get the restored GBA versions. Easier on the battery and the touchscreen dpad/buttons are honestly better them the control scheme in the mobile versions.
