... wait... you bought the PS3 version of Rally?

Still waiting for Amazon to ship out my copy of Robocop on Blu-ray. It's in stock, I preordered back in August. They apologized and gave me a $10 credit for my inconvenience, but they won't give me a reason why they haven't shipped it out!!

I bought:

http://www.vizio.com/products/detail.aspx?pid=26

I was getting tired of sitting so close to the 27" Westinghouse I've been watching, and wanted something a little bigger. Someone bought this TV at Wal-Mart yesterday and returned it today (the sales guy said they complained about the cable TV picture, people buy these TVs thinking they're going to get an HD picture through regular cable). It still had all the plastic static sheets on the front. A $780 TV for $600, couldn't really pass it up. I know, I know, Vizio, but it looks fine to me, and it's big. A friend is buying my old Westinghouse (1.5 years old) and an extra progressive scan DVD player I had laying around unused for $350, so I spent $300 out of pocket for a 37" HDTV. Pretty good deal.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #22 on:** October 14, 2007, 01:29:34 AM »

I can't imagine getting anything bigger than 50". Our living isn't big enough to handle it, we'd go blind not sitting far enough away from one!

With that said, the 27" CRT HDTV is looking mighty small in our living room. February can't come soon enough....

A 37 inch TV is the perfect size for me. That gives a 30" 4:3 picture, and a decent size on those superwidescreen DVDs. I'll be sitting a little closer to it since it doubles as a PC monitor, too.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #28 on:** October 14, 2007, 02:02:44 AM »

32 widescreen is basically the same as my ol 27 inch samsung in terms of size. I just like NOT HUGE cause my apartment isnt big and I like to sit far enough away from the TV as not to produce mental agony

Chrono Trigger is like my favorite game ever. However, I wasn't excited about Blue Dragon until I read positive reviews here and elsewhere about the game, and how it was better than the demo. I'm looking forward to it.

TVC15 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:16:09 AM »

Even still, give it a few hours to win over your heart. My first impressions were definitely not as glowing as they were after about 5 hours. I mean, it starts out good and acceptable, but it only gets better and better up until the last dungeon. . .where it kinda drops the ball, but hey, it's the last dungeon.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #35 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:19:34 AM »

No worries, I'm a vet of long boring old-school rpgs. I got bored around FF 7 but before that I pretty much played them all. Including Phantasy Star III. If I can do PSIII, I can do any sort of boring stretch in Blue Dragon.

Ichirou · « **Reply #36 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:29:24 AM »

Holy shit, Phantasy Star III. That takes me back. That game was awful - but the concept was so awesome (playing through various generations of a family) that I kept playing it for a long while.

TVC15 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:35:40 AM »

The easy difficulty of Blue Dragon is probably actually a good thing in the end. It keeps the game moving along at a good pace, so you never really get bored. Always seeing new things and what not. The game does reward grinding and leveling up shadows, but you can always progress until your heart's content with little trouble.

At first the easy difficulty was something of a turn off, then I remembered how many RPGs I quit because I got to a tough fight and grinding was too annoying to do.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #38 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:46:24 AM »

Yeah I agree, there's nothing worse in an RPG than getting to the end and realizing your party isn't strong enough. That happened to me in Phantasy Star II and I ended up never finishing that game because of it.

Ichirou- PSIII's concept was such a tease. It's too bad even the generations played the same, I couldn't even keep it straight. I probably beat it three times though, there was a lot about that game I liked, even though it was pretty much terrible. There was a certain charm it had.

Ichirou · « **Reply #39 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:56:23 AM »

Phantasy Star

- my favorite video game series of all time. Hell, I didn't even think 3 was all THAT bad, its just that when compared to the rest of the series, it really lacks in comparison.

I just went on a bit of a wine tasting trip out east yesterday, and I bought Senko no Ronde 360. Which is OK but I am still getting used to it.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #45 on:** October 14, 2007, 01:32:53 PM »

Yeah, III isn't all bad. It's just not one of the best RPGs I've ever played. And it's SLOW.

I never played IV. I wasn't rich and couldn't justify spending $100 on a game. I hated the end of the 16 bit era, games were so freaking expensive and weren't much/at all better than games that had come much earlier in the generation. Of course, I've since learned that PS IV was worth the price. My loss $:-\$

And yeah, PSO is a terrible series and just another example of why Sega isn't relevant anymore. I hold out way more hope for a decent Shining Force sequel (or even a retranslation of SF III) than I do for another 'real' Phantasy Star.

Ichirou · « **Reply #46 on:** October 14, 2007, 01:36:57 PM »

I played through a friend's copy of IV, and then I bought it on clearance at Kay-Bee Toys for $25. I had to exchange the first copy I got 'cause saving didn't work. I guess the battery was dead. But I bet by now the battery of the exchanged copy must be dead too.

Did PSIV ever come out in any Sega compilation? You people are making me feel like playing it again.

tiesto · « **Reply #47 on:** October 14, 2007, 02:28:57 PM »

Tet - I recently read an interview with some of the Camelot people (posted on neogaf) where they said they weren't opposed to doing another Shining... hopefully Sega ponies up and lets them make an SRPG, none of this ARPG stuff.

Ichirou - you can get PSIV for the Sega Genesis collection for PS2/PSP. I'm actually gonna give PSIV another playthrough on mah PSP after finishing off Phantom Hourglass.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #48 on:** October 14, 2007, 02:36:23 PM »

Yeah I read that as well Tiesto. I hope so, Shining Force III was the last of the 'old school' rpgs that I've played and enjoyed. I was really disappointed the rest of that game didn't come out in the US, and would kill to get it or a true Shining Force IV. If Blue Dragon is half the game these games were, I'll be very happy. I've certainly enjoyed reading Swastiko's (the first one to start glowing and raving about the game while others still slammed it due to the demo) impressions and later TVC's and Demi's impressions. It was on my radar just due to who worked on the game, but the lackluster reviews and my not having a 360 until recently put it on the backburner. A buy 2 get 1 free sale is the perfect excuse to get games that fill needs but aren't necessarily must haves in your library.

I paid off my preorder for the Ace Combat 6 LE flightstick bundle. The guys at my local Gamestop where I preordered it are in awe at me. One of the guys there downloaded the demo and loved it. Namco has another sale there.

Also, I bought the Nyko dual charger/dual battery combo for the X360, in black, and a 1600 point card to download the new Forza 2 cars, and to prepare for the new Lumines Live DLC...
