That's the 3DS. XL is priced at Gamestop right now for 200. Games are usually 30-40, so you're getting the XL at base price with a new game.
Black Friday deals at 149, and that's Canada
You're correct, I didn't realize this, but there's still a bit of a problem.

The base game is 40 so if you get both, which to be fair is certainly plausible but is a risk, you're saving 10 dollars rather than going in on Black Friday.

I'll take the pre-Black Friday deal any day.

I realize that I haven't been here in several... months, wow.
But anyways- the project that you guys collectively helped me out with with the survey around march-ish has come to completion, and I figured some of you guys might be interested in how it turned out. Also shameless publicizing, I guess. In any case, thanks, you guys!

I'll probably pick up a PS4 when Uncharted comes out. Loves me some Nathan Drake.

Titanfall is just another shooter, but with mechs. It doesn't even have a story, it's pure multiplayer.

I bought Killzone, CoD, BF4, AC4, Knack and Injustice.

Playing AC4 more than all the others combined.

is it good? I wasn't expecting much in the off year..... And I wasn't a fan of 3 anyway........please tell me they got rid of all those sort of cutscenes.

Also. Titanfall has some interesting parts that differentiate it from "just another shooter" the jetpacks, the extraction mechanic, the mech that you can both ride and have follow you around.

and my 360 is on it's last legs anyway

Who says story is necessary for a good game? I hate the story of AC but that doesn't stop it from being a favorite series of mine.

It's not supposed to have a story. They addressed this and what they said makes sense. Developers should pick, and then make a single player game or a multiplayer game, except in very rare cases.

I do want the kinect, so i love when people yell about "the customer doesn't want that." I do. I think it's kinda fun, but my family plays on my console a lot as well. and both my mother and sister both enjoy it immensely.

Also. I've been a halo fan since I was 6 so........ yeah I want to play 5. Killzone is the only thing that really draws me to the PS3.

Actually trying to figure out how long it might be until the PS4 actually reaches a point where there is actually stock at retailers, and I'm hearing it might not be until March of next year. Holy crap.

They said they'd have plenty in time for holidays, but they also said that they'd be restocking retailers Monday and that didn't happen.

The stores I called said they never received them, that Sony said they'd get there when they get there basically.

Once they send them, I'm not sure how much control they have over when they actually reach retailers. (Unless they're spending some serious coin on shipping which I doubt.)

I've assumed I won't be able to actually be able to get one until 2014.

Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies gets a 6.5/10 and only play it if you've played all the other games in the series.
