    So I could get Uncharted and MW2 and get GTA:Episodes from Liberty City for free. Awesome.

    Thanks. :up:


    Edit: Wait a minute it appears pre-orders may be excluded. Uncharted 2 and MW2 aren't part of the deal and neither is the GTA game. Still a good deal though and the GTA game is $10 off.

    Yes, but GTA: liberty stories is $40 there, so you really aren't maximizing your discount if you get that.

    True but I was getting it anyway so it'd still save me some money. However I could get BF:BC2 and pay for GTA...however still preorders are excluded so its a moot point.

    And I guess since Uncharted 2 is out this week it will be part of this deal.

    Odd, many pre-orders were working a few hours ago.

    That would be a sweet deal right now if it didn't exclude pre-orders.

    Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassins Creed 2 would have been awesome.

    The Best Buy Black Friday ad just got leaked. There's some pretty good deals to be had there.

    - Dragon Age, Brutal Legend, L4D2 are all $35 each (doorbuster though, so probably only good until noon)

    The Tekken 6 LE w/Wireless Arcade Stick is a lightning deal right now on Amazon for just under $60.

    22% claimed when I last looked.

    I'm actually going to see if I can trade it in at Best Buy for a PS3 version.

    Lots of games on sale at amazon right now. Almost too many to mention, but a lot of price matching of best buy and wal mart's friday deals going on.

    Wii- Boom Blox bash party for $15
    360- NBA 2k10 for $25
    Dragon Age: Origins for $35
    Magna Carta 2 for $32.98

    Bestbuy.com has Left for Dead 2 right now for $35.

    Amazon has it for $40. If you have prime, amazon is probably the better deal.

    Best Buy is offering the 120GB PS3 tomorrow bundled with Little Big Planet and the new Ratchet and Clank game for $299. Not a bad deal at all. You can also get the 360 elite with six games for that price but the game titles don't seem nearly as good.

    Infamous is $40 at amazon and best buy (I think). You get a $20 PSN store credit from Amazon, or a $20 PSN card from best buy with purchase.

    Even without the PSN bonuses, this is a great deal. Anyone who has a PS3 and doesn't have this game, you're doing yourself a disservice by passing up on it at this price.

    InFamous for $40 and then essentially a $20 rebate (PSN card) is an unbelievable deal.

    During this whole week Gamefly is selling select used games at value prices but tonight they are really hitting some out of the park. As part of their Daily Deal (which they'll do each day) they have these games on sale:

    Three that stick out to me are COD:WOW as well as Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. For the price of one $60 game you can get all three of those. Granted they are used but I have personally bought used games from Gamefly and I couldn't even tell they were used.

    Oh yeah and also "Free Shipping."

    I think I have to get Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 myself.

    Link to article:

    And some more (Resident Evil 5 for 360 for $13):

    so i got a 120gb 360 hdd off ebay, from a shady hong kong seller for $58 bucks. hey, it works! ut its only 107gb, not 120. is that normal? i know there usually is some bs on there...but 13gb of crap?

    but im not too concervned, i moved everything over, added all the forza 3 extras, the ballad of gay tony, and the lost and the damned, all my saves, and i still have over 100 gb left.

    but what pisses me off, i lost some cars on forza 3! i had to reload the content disc. had to then restore my game from my old hd(move not copy that file)...and a bunch of cars i had on my consol are gone! 59 vette, and some other cool ones. and i dont know where to find them! im pissed about that.

    but otherwise, a pretty solid transaction. lets just hope the thing dont melt on me on 2 weeks.

    Yeah I believe that is about right for a 120GB hard drive (107 GB)...I know most hard drives are like that and I am pretty sure my 360 had about that when I bought it.

    i saw Fable 2 for $19.99 at Walmart. Damn that was tempting. But I never finished some of the Orange Box, and I have my friends copy of CODMW1. So that will keep me bust until Bioshock 2 and Dantes Inferno.

    If you trade trade in four games worth over $8 at Ebgames you get $100 off a PS3 I'm pretty sure its only in Canada though. Here's a good trade in value site but its Canadian again http://www.tivs.ca/

    Yup, this is totallly normal. It's reserved for formatting and setting up the Master Boot record and other things it needs to function.

    Here's a formula to convert retail size to actual size. This assumes that the manufacturer is using 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes (instead of 1GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes as they should).

    Actual Drive Size = Retail Drive Size * 0.931

    This formula is an approximation. Many times they'll round the drive size somewhat, but this gives you a rough idea of the real world space.

    For Quick Reference:

    36gb = 33.5gb

    40gb = 37gb

    60gb = 55gb

    74gb = 69gb

    80gb = 74gb

    100gb = 93gb

    120gb = 112gb

    160gb = 149gb

    200gb = 186gb

    250gb = 233gb

    300gb = 279gb

    350gb = 326gb

    400gb = 372gb

    500gb = 465gb

    Just to follow up, the reason for discrepancies in hard drive capacities is because hard drive manufacturers market their drives using base 10 counting, but computer file systems use base 2 counting. Over time, both systems track the numbers differently, leading to the disparity between what the hard drive box says and what your computer says.

    Yea, I was worried the picture wouldn't be as good as my LED based 61" (because of the bulb), but it's damn nice. As soon as it finishes breaking in and I can get the colors more accurate it'll be amazing.

    those things are HUGE.
    too bad that dont make the samsung 61" LED DLP tv anymore. that thing had the best picture whenever i saw it sitting in a store next to one of these mitsubishis. the mitsubishi made the 61" look like a 32" though

    when i was finally ready to get one, they were all sold out and supposedly out of production.

    Gamestop.com is supposed to have a B2G1 free deal on pre-owned games today.

    Well right now it's glitching out and acting as a B1G1.

    I got Bayonetta and Metro2033 for like $44 after tax.

    Shipping is free with the code "SAVER"

    To get the B1G1 (or B2G1 if they fix it) use "BUYTWO"
