I got a PS3! [Thanks, Stoney!]

[Great Rumbler]

Because screw next gen and screw the Wii U. And screw bundles with games I don't want. I just wanna play some animu moe sims from glorious Nippon.

[Great Rumbler]

12GB, though. 

[thisismyusername]

12GB, though. 

More than enough for your glorious nippon installs, surely?

[Stoney Mason]

I'm selling my PS3 but I'm just going to take it down to Best Buy or Gamestop or something. I'm too lazy to go through a whole shipping process thing.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Wait 6 days for Persona 5 to be announced before you sell~

[cool breeze]

black friday is in two weeks, cuz.

the deal most places have is 250gig slidey slim + last of us + batman arkham origins for $200 (+probably a month of PS Plus).  if those aren't digital copies you can sell them and buy ar tonelico.

That's about what I was hoping for in terms of price [for a new system], I'll likely just wait for that unless somebody here is willing to negotiate.

[Rahxephon91]

Anyone got a PSP?

[Stoney Mason]

If you desperately want/need one on the relative cheap, Rumbler I'll go through the process. I'm just really lazy and kinda don't want to but I would to be nice to a bore member. And you'd have to do a check or something as I don't have a paypal account. Your call.  I'd send you some photos of it via PM.

[Eel O'Brian]

Sold mine to best buy for $100 gift card yesterday. Pretty good price for something I had for 6 years and sounded like an airplane taking off.

Unfortunately, I have no checks at all! I've never once used a check, always just use the ol' debit card. Thanks anyway, though.

I could buy you some games on Steam, though.

[Stoney Mason]

no prob.

edit:Unfortunately the only things coming up that I want are on Origin ala Battlefield 4 Premium and TitanFall. But then it would be hard to make the price/values match up.

[Eel O'Brian]

Get a bank check

Just do a MONEY ORDER - you can get these at any Grocery Store in Customer Service... or a bank, loan place (check into cash, etc.), anywhere, really.

[Stoney Mason]

If he wants to do a money order that's fine. I also would accept TitanFall and BF 4 premium codes for origin on PC. We could go with a cheaper price than that also if you want to do a money order situation. Not really looking to make money on the deal. Just trying to turn it into games in return.

It would be the PS 3. Two controllers. And the following games.

Valkryia Chronnicles, Uncharted 3, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4.

[Great Rumbler]

Great deal for Rumbler

Better jump on it

[Stoney Mason]

Pic of the system and games. That controller box is beat up because I've kept it in storage boxes but the controller inside it has never been used. Take some time to think about it and get back to me Rumbler.

[Smooth Groove]

Is your Heavy Rain jizz free? 

You're safe but that's a pre-owned copy.

Alright, I'll do that deal. PM me your Origin account name and I'll figure out how to gift those to you.

Edit: Uhhh...apparently, Origin doesn't allow gifting? The hell?

That's exactly the type of bed cover I assumed you'd have. Not too dark, not too light.

[fistfulofmetal]

I may sell my 60gb ps3 to best buy

[Stoney Mason]

sent the info. And yeah I know about origin gifting. I mentioned it in the PM. Let's double check first though to make sure that would work (below) so you don't go wasting money but it seems reasonable.

I know you can't gift directly from origin like you can steam so maybe getting the codes off another site like amazon or something would be the way to go. I can wait on the TitanFall code since that doesn't come out until March or something of next year and maybe you could find a cheap sale code or something to save some money.

[Stoney Mason]

Plus my jack-off towel is in convenient reach at all times to the left.

[Eel O'Brian]

That's the one I had. Takes about 10 minutes, they hook it up and test it to make sure it comes on and boots up a disc.

[Smooth Groove]

I'd just keep it for $100

It's still good enough as a Netflix/bluray player even if you don't care about PS3 games anymore

[Stoney Mason]

Looks like everything is set with Rumbler. Shipping the system on Wednesday. One final thing. I did purchase Last of US on the system. Is there anyway to leave that on without my details and credit card stuff on the system. I did a system reset (Restore default settings) a couple of days ago in prep for selling it to gamestop. But I think that was the wrong option because there is still stuff on the hard drive like Last of US. I think I was supposed to do the Restore PS3 System option which would wipe out everything on the hard drive. But now that I'm selling it to a bore member is there any way to keep what is on hard drive for him to have and still delete my personal information off the system.

thanks for advance for anybody who knows anything about that stuff.

[Great Rumbler]

I saved nearly $20 by buying it through GMG instead of Origin.  

But now I feel like I'm ripping Stoney off.  :'(

[Eel O'Brian]

Full restore will take hours. Just delete all the user profiles, and manually delete all the games/files/saves/etc. You'll have to make a temp user account and log into that to delete the last account, as you can't delete an account you're logged into.

Okay I can do that but I need to delete the games? I would like to leave them on there but if that is tied to my user account and info then I have to you are saying?

You need the account on the console in order to play LAST OF US (or any content, really).

You can change the PASSWORD / EMAIL details so he cannot log in to PSN (this is essentially what GAME SHARING is).

You can also DEACTIVATE the console through the sony website.

He should still be good if he wants to play LAST OF US. Great Rumbler can use his OWN account to play the game - online or offline.

Some will turn into demos, some just won't work at all, but if you delete your main/buyer user account none of them will be fully accessible any more

[Eel O'Brian]

or what demi said

[demi]

You can also delete your credit card as well. Remove all info if it makes you feel better. The account must be on the system to play the content.

You cant access any information unless you log into PSN, anyway. He wont be able to see it.

Okay. I'm almost there. But bear with me because I'm slow. One final question to make sure I understand. So I delete my account and leave the games on the hard drive. Now Rumbler can play them when he creates his account? Is that correct.

Or would the games that I bought and are on the hard drive would always need access to my account to be played. Or he could play the offline and not online.

Sorry for probably making this more complex than it is.


edit: Okay you guys made posts after I made this to clarify.

[demi]

No - keep the account on there. The USER PROFILE you use when you boot up PS3.

[Eel O'Brian]

No, you have to leave your account on there. I was thinking you wanted to wipe the whole thing.

[Stoney Mason]

Thx. I think I got it now. I will fiddle with that stuff tomorrow night and If I have any questions, I'll come back.

[demi]

If Great Rumbler is done with it - all he has to do is delete the account and content - no more worry.

[Great Rumbler]

Here are the games I've obtained through various means:

-Ar Tonelico Qoga
-Asura's Wrath
-Atelier Ayesha
-Demon's Souls

Plan on buying soon:

Anything obvious I'm missing here?

[Rahxephon91]

Vanquish, Resonance of fate, Shadow's of the Damned, No More Heroes Paradise, Yakuza 4, Anarchy Reigns, Metal Gear Rising, Infamous 2, and The Last of Us.

[Great Rumbler]

I already played Vanquish and Resonance of Fate on the 360, and I forgot that Stoney was gonna leave a downloaded copy of The Last of Us on the PS3 I bought from him.

Don't really care about the inFamous franchise, to be honest, but I would like to check out Shadows of the Damned and Anarchy Reigns sometime.

[Rahxephon91]

Oh I did'nt know you had a 360.

Now have you played Infamous 2 or just 1? Infamous 1 is a pos honestly, it was Infamous 2 that made me a believer. So if you haven't played 2, I just recommend at least trying it out. It's a huge improvement. If you already have then well just ignore this.

[demi]

Xillia, KH 1.5, 3D Dot Game Heroes

[Beezy]

GR, you already have a copy of Valkyria Chronicles? You mind giving or selling me the copy that Stoney sends you?

[Great Rumbler]

I included the games I'm getting from Stoney [and some I borrowed from my brother].

Oh damn, alright. Trying to avoid giving GS $25 for a used copy.

[Himu]

Rumbler, don't buy Ico/SOTC collection. Get PS Plus and get them for free.

Also, MGS4 is horrible. I'm so sorry.

[Great Rumbler]

That's okay, I didn't intend to play it anyway!

[Rahxephon91]

Not like you'd be doing much playing anyway.

[demi]

Amazon and GameStop will have PS+ for $30/yr - buy at least one

[Stoney Mason]

(Image removed from quote.)

 

Glad you got it.

[Human Snorenado]

Rumbler- Atelier Totori is supposed to be the best one I think?  Dunno.

[Great Rumbler]

That seems to be the case, but I decided to just go ahead and buy the latest in the series. I'll probably get the others eventually, though.

Yeah, I definitely will for that price.

[Smooth Groove]

MGS4 is still worth checking out if you are somewhat of a MGS or anime fan. 

The cutscenes are long and ridiculous but entertaining, especially the action scenes.  You sure won't see stuff like that in future games. 

It's a short game so you could beat it pretty fast even if you don't care about the cutscenes.  The gameplay is pretty good for the most part.  Most people had complains about the QTE ending but it's fast and probably meant to be more cinematic than challenging. 

There's not much content in MGS4  but what's there is pretty well done.  The production values are high and it's crazy how much attention Kojima pays to the little details. 

[Rahxephon91]

Might as well play MGS4 once. It's an interesting failure. It's got some cool things on screen.
