Real Talk: The Old Republic would have been a really great game if they didn't try to make it multiplayer.

I need to start playing this. I've got a free month to use, should do that and take advantage of the premium stuff.

Is it even worth repairing your PS3 after it gets the YLOD?

Huff · « **Reply #9962 on:** September 08, 2012, 08:14:46 AM »

You could just wait til black Friday and buy a new one for cheap

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #9963 on:** September 08, 2012, 02:01:13 PM »

Guess I'll have to. I attempted to repair it(this is my 2nd time) and now the thing wont turn on. Well this is a real shitty day. I don't really want to have to buy another PS3.

There's that new model of PS3 that is supposed to come out. With any luck, that should be $149-199. Best to wait. It isn't like there is tons of compelling content on the PS3 coming out now anyway, except Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and that game isn't going away anytime soon. Hell, if you wait a month or two you could probably get it for $30 or less.

Oh I didn't know that. Guess I will wait. I mean I do have an Xbox so I still have something to play. The real shame though is that this is a backwards compatibility model and well yeah...

Do new slims use the same hard drive? I mean I'll want to move my saves and stuff over you know?

I hear bsnes is pretty awesome. The batteries in some of my old SNES cartridges have died and at this point I'd rather play an emulated version.

Raban · « **Reply #9973 on:** September 10, 2012, 03:22:26 PM »

Yeah I've messed with emulators, but I dunno. Call me a purist, but there's something special about playing a retro console on a good ol' CRT, gripping that cheap plastic controller in your hands.

And also stupid. What are you going to do when you don't want it anymore? Nobody wants a Super Famicom. Just emulate the J-games and play your superior american gaijin games with your plastic dildo.

EDIT: I guess I'm just interested in building a SNES collection but the games for the SNES are too expensive to get, especially complete. From what I've seen browsing around, Super Famicom games are a lot cheaper.

tiesto · « **Reply #9977 on:** September 10, 2012, 11:11:00 PM »

Just buy an SNES and file down the tabs to play SFC cartridges, that was the first system I ever "modded" to play Japanese games.

You can just buy an SNES controller, one of these things http://www.amazon.com/SNES-Controller-Adapter-USB-Super-NES/dp/B002IXZ5DE , and just play on an emulator

There is. I've never been able to get into Emulators. I don't know what it is, but I like playing them with the controller they were made for and on an old CRTV.

Didn't South Korea consider legislation earlier this year banning chance based microtransactions? re: TF2 could theoretically be banned in SK because of random crates that drop and keys required to open them.

I don't think it actually passed, but I remember it raising a ruckus.

I don't know about South Korea, but Japan actually passed some legislation this year against "complete gatcha", a gameplay element that many Japaneses social/mobile companies were abusing in their games. Complete gatcha requires players to collect an entire set of randomly distributed pay items, which gives them a random chance of winning another, more rare item from a more rare set. It's banned now. Japan might go farther at some point, I suppose.

Of course, they do all this while turning a complete blind eye to pachinko, but that's laws for ya.

Yeah, that's some happy horse-puckey, right there.

I wonder if collectible card games and booster packs are illegal, if they also support benefits for having a collection of randomly distributed cards in them. I'm guessing... no.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #9990 on:** September 13, 2012, 12:32:28 PM »

So basically.

Pachniko = Yakuza backed.
Complete Gacha = Not Yakuza backed.

Most of us are too rich to worry about repairing consoles. You might have to do some internet searching to find a reputable opinion on that kind of thing.

I don't know man. These Wii U threads big to differ.

It's a shame my PS3 did'nt go out a couple of weeks before when I actually had the money to buy another one.

Seriously, in the end I probably will end up buying a new PS3. But it's not something I want to do at all, I mean I still have a launch 360 kicking and see no point in updating as long as it works. And even if I got a new one, I would still have this old thing sitting around, might as well do something with it. I believe I can fix it and besides I just kind of want to see if I can anyway.

But I guess I may have to dig deeper. I bet Cheapassgamer's forums may be able to have some answers.

chronovore · « **Reply #9994 on:** September 14, 2012, 09:32:44 PM »

There seem to be a number of places in the USA which do ps3 repairs. I'd go with a physical store before web-ordering from Sinoland and hoping to not get skrood.

Bebpo · « **Reply #9995 on:** September 14, 2012, 11:55:13 PM »

My brothers PS3 died yesterday. It was a Spiderman 180gig. He's going to sodder fix it. He never ever plays videogames and then he started playing Red Dead Redemption when I got it for him in May and he's like 60-70% through the game now so he's pretty pissed about losing that save. He's gonna get it running, pull the RDR save and then toss the system and get a new one since he does use it as a BD player.

When my PS3 died, I just brought it to a local place and paid them $50 and did the system transfer to a new one.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #9996 on:** September 15, 2012, 12:15:29 AM »

Speaking of PS3s, I'm not sure where to put this but I'm putting it here.

95% of my PS3 time is either Netflix or Amazon Video. Mostly Netflix though. However every time I load up Netflix, I get a message saying my account has been deactivated. So every time I use the program, I have to sign in, which is obnoxious. Sometimes I want to just flop down, load up Netflix, select a TV show, and zone out. I even got a PS3 remote for this purpose of course.

It's pissing me off
