Title: Free stuff at Bestbuy with the purchase of a 60gb PS3
Post by: Smooth Groove on October 23, 2007, 06:33:25 PM
Some people were asking questions about buying a PS3 with full compatibility so I thought they might want to know about this.  Right now, BB is offering Lair, Heavenly Sword, or a free controller with the purchase of a 60gb PS3 ($500).  Some kid actually asked me about what he should get while I was checking to see if R&C was available.  He had already picked Lair.  I was sorely tempted to tell him that it was a good choice but that's just too cruel so I told him to get HS instead.

Heavenly Sword is definitely not terrible, although it is the very definition of mediocre.  If you think Heavenly Sword is the worst that games can get, then you probably don't play any.

I played the demo of Heavenly Sword today. It sure was pretty, but there was some pretty bad screen tearing and it controlled pretty much like God of War With A Chick.

HRM played through bullet witch, didnt play through heavenly sword. Oh viz. Your posts are like an endless waltz of being wrong and regretting it.

Besides, I think the best pack in for a PS3 would be a free Wii lololol. Sales would teh jump.

Time's running out on the 100% BC PS3s though.  And in BB's defense, Lair and Heavenly Sword was on Sfags' short list of game that will display the PS3's superiority.

They can call that the bundle for gamers that don't like games.  Amirite?

You should recommend Gundam Crossfire next time.

They're only offering Lair, HS, and the controller.  The kid did have enough budget for 1 more game.  His eyes lit up when I mentioned that Godfather was like GTA.  But then I added, it's like GTA except that it sucks.  Wouldn't that be funny if I got him to buy Lair and Godfather?

Your eyes were so bug-eyed when you played it at E3, I had to kinda look around to make sure no security was around

Are they still offering 5 Blu-Ray discs when you buy one?  I keep thinking that I'm going to pick one up but then I always end up talking myself out of it.

Yep, the offer has been extended through January 2008.

Not even the foulness of E3 could dismay me from experiencing the grandiose action and gripping drama of Gundam Crossfire.

And it smelled like winner.

I was actually pretty excited too at E3 to play Gundam Crossfire, mostly because it was a PS3 game.  New console syndrome affects many gamers.
