WoW...Apparently all 6 or so stores in my town are completley sold out of SFIV in regular and CE. Maybe someone will have some in next week :(

Ugh. I allready said it in my post He would get the "Brawler Pack". The code even says on it that it is for downloading the Brawler Pack. Sadly now I have to chose from buying the original edition and still spending an extra $4.00 on the Brawler Pack or getting the CE for a little more then that. Ugh. I hate decisions like this. If only they were releasing the "all in pack" like they did in Jappan. With that DLC you get all of the outfits for the price of all minus one. If that is the case it would be cheaper for me to not buy the CE...

The DLC is the "Brawler Pack". Apparently the Alternate outfits (Not alternate colors...that is allready in the game) will be by DLC. Every character has a new outfit you can download and it will be split up as so... 2/17 – Brawler Pack DLC Pack will include alternate costumes for: Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel. 2/24 – Femme Fatale Pack will include alternate costumes for: Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose, and C.Viper. 3/3/09 – Shoruken Pack will include alternate costumes for: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Dan. 3/10/09 – Shadowloo Pack will include alternate costumes for: Seth, M.Bison, Sagat, Balrog, and Vega. 3/17/09 – Classic Pack will include alternate costumes for: Guile, Dhalsim, Fei-Long, Blanka, and Gen. You can go HERE to view all the alternate costumes. http://kotaku.com/5147226/capcom-catalogs-...y-downloadables You would get the first one when it comes out on Thursday. The Brawler Pack Sometime soon they will also have a Championship Edition DLC which will add some more modes and online tournaments, etc. This will be a free DLC for everyone. Personaly I am looking forward to the Brawler Pack (Zangiefs Haggard Clothes and El Fuertes Raging Cook outfit) and the Classic Pack (Fei-Long's Forest Law Impression and Blankas Camping gear) I would kinda like the CD so I am hoping they have a Collectors Edition when I get off work. Thor...by the way...would you be interested in exchanging 10 consecutive wins online? That way we could both get that trophy. Everytime I try to get trophies like that I get cheaped by someone after 8 wins or so. (PS3)

Wow....I think my brain almost went into spasms... You win a tournament held at some wierd place for a crappy nes game. Your prize...THE crappy NES game. For some unknown reason you save it for many years (guessing it was put on a trophy case somewhere) and all of a sudden it is worth 10,000.00.

I am such a freaking nerd sometime that yes...I have the schematic I made in the process. It really isn't nearly as bad as one would think. I will try to find it when I go to my mothers house for my birthday this weekend.

Why do I have a feeling that if my house burned down Nintendo would care less when I called them and explained all of the cool Nintendo products that were destroyed.

I actually opened up my old Nintendo Advance and hooked it up to a set of AV cables (soddered them into the wiring of the GBA) so it actually worked as a console in that reguard. It looked kinda funky but worked awesome.

QED

Exactly. No one buys a handheld device for almost the price of a PS2 just so they can be tethered to a wall outlet.

EGM 5. I always like the buyers guides...in case something peeks my interest and I have to get it

I am not getting off on a rant here...no matter how hard you try to draw me into one. Sony screwed the PSP when they made it a lack luster video player. The stupid UMD ruined the PSP. People can never look at it the same after that. Not to mention the original PSP had a battery life of like 13 minutes (I exagerate but you still could not play some games for longer then an hour or two without plugging in). People want a handheld with serious battery life for those long road trips or really boring meetings. You could not get that with the original PSP. You could watch grainy videos (again some only if you were plugged in). Between those two things Sony screwed the PSP and even though it now has a lot of awesome games and the new version has better battery life....it just isn't enough to overcome the earlier bad press.

I believe that is a loan they took out a few years ago when they were starting to tank. They were hoping Mortal Kombat Deception would bring them out of their rutt (I think the Blitz games were even all but forgotten at that time). I would really REALLY hate to be the unsecured guy. That moves them back to the end of the line. * Pioneer.JB Marketing - $133,353 * Eclipse Advertising - $132,687 I think I found the epic fail. MILLIONS in debt and only 266,000 in advertising. Maybe they should have advertised a little more.

When someone files for Bankrupcy their debts, along with the paperwork, become open to the public. Now I did not hunt these records down, I just jacked them off of a message board....but I am guessing they are probably real. It must be hard to be a game company. My guess is that the Warner Brothers amount is what it costs to use 10 or 11 DC Comic characters in a game. WoW...simply WoW. P.S. Anyone wonder what they are doing oweing Gamestop and Sears money? * Wells Fargo Bank - $150,000,000 * Acquisition Holdings Subsidiary - $40,000,000 unsecured loan * National Amusements, Inc. - $20,147,864 * NBA Properties, Inc. - $17,294,849 (License/royalty settlement) * Tangible Media, Inc. - $8,675,954 * Warner Bros.

Wow. I never erally relized just how soft and crazy people have gotten. Do you know how much of an uprsiing there would be (mostly from stupid people) if you tried to print that "life's a bitch" add now? There would be a nation wide "scandal" and the mag would have to be recalled. Not to mention there would be like 9 "groups" after the company for coming up with the add in the first place.

Does anyone here have Mortal Kombat vs. DC for PS3? I was hoping to find someone I could exchange Flawless victories with in order to get the trophy. My game seems to be glitched out and it might take several tries to get the trophy. (apparently this is happening to a lot of people). I am on my 3rd time performing all of the fatalities/brutalities and still haven't gotten that trophy.

Sweet...instead of a kick-butt action adventure game I will get Micromanagment 101. Kinda like the job system in Final Fantasy games. Sounds like a blast at first and then you realize that you spent 80% of the game trying to distribute points correctly...which is of course..not fun.

I GOT IT! Kratos vs. Jesus Epic Battle...and it explains why 80% of all people believe Jesus is white. So it must follow that Kratos (who paints his skin white) IS the new Jesus. Seriously...it is no further out there then Kratos Killing Zeus...

I am probably going to have to get one of those. I am NOT spending > $100.00 on an arcade stick, no matter how cool it looks.

I loved God of War I. and God of War II was a lot of fun. I really liked how you got to interact with a lot more of the Mythology. Seriously though, what is left for Kratos to do? He broke away from being the slave to Ares. He killed Ares and became a god. Then he rebelled and from what I understand of the ending killed zeus. That doesn't really leave much for him to do.

I still have high hopes for legends of wrestlemania. Although it woudl be nicer with Randy Savage in it. Apparently they can not get his likeness for the game. I saw the total list of characters and I am not qutie sure how some of them became "Legends of Wresltemania". I think I saw the Big Boss Man and Slaughter. Not to mention Yokozuna. Didn't they each only have like ONE trip to Wreslemania. They might have been great characters in old WWF...but does that make them Legends of Wreslemania? Anyway. I guess I will have to pick up Street Fighter IV. I think I am leaning towards the regular version now. I really don't have any place to put the Figure. The Strategy guide is apparently only for the new characters. The Anime can be seen on Youtube and apparently only has one cool fight between Ryu and Seth...no Akuma...no Bison, etc. So the only thing in the CE I would use would be the Sound Track and the DLC (the DLC can be purchased for like $4).

Sadly I am in. I love the Tekken series. I don't know why, but I really enjoyed it from the very start. I guess teh characters are just "real" and just "crazy" enough for me to follow. I missed many days of college playing different tekken games for money. I was ranked in the top 5 of T5:DR online before my dog started going into seizures and I had to stop playing to watch him. I would definently take a more solid look at puzzle quest just for the charactters. I guess it is kind of like the TV show Smallville. I liked the first season so much I am apparently still watching it because of that.

I like the old school stuff...but my wife will probably make fun of me for it being so "basic".

I think they own a lot of the Extreme Sports brands. I.E. NBA Jam and Blitz as well as Mortal Kombat. I think they have a temporary IP on DC characters (as seen in MK v. DC. I am not aware if that was a "for a period of time" or "for this one game" type deal).

What is everyone's thoughts on Street Fighter IV? It seems to be getting really good reviews. Although with today's bias in the media any game with "fanboys" gets huge reviews because they don't want to piss anyone off. I think I might personally be blinded by my love for Street Fighter II. I still remember when I was little and one of the game stores had the demo playing in the window. It looked like so much fun I almost cried. Yes. I was and still am the King of all Dorks (Geeks as well sadly). Anyway. 1) PS3 or Xbox 360 2) Regular edition for 59.99 or the CE for 79.99 (CE has an anime, Music Cd, mini guide, and action figure) No...I am not preordering from Gamestop out of principle and the fact that I don't really need a "Ryu Style" headband. My wife would kill me for wearing it... It looks to me like it might be a lot of fun, but again, I believe my view is kind of slanted due to misty eyed memories. Plenty of videos on Youtube and I believe IGN and even Gamespot has reviews up.

For Chapter 11 they have to do an entire restructuring. Basicly it cleans out most of their debts but requires that everythign is restructured to way that "makes" money. My guess is that DLC for recently released games that were only mildly popular (what is with a MK game with no gruesome fatalities anyway?) Probably means a lot of people will end up getting laid off and where better to start that then the guys working on "additional" content that will sell for a few bucks.
