    Thoughts?
    I wouldn't bother personally. but then I rarely use my 3ds as it is. but the XL doesn't increase resolution does it? Just a larger screen. I bet the battery life is a lot worse...

    Battery life is improved. Larger size = more room for battery. Screen is nearly double, but no resolution upgrade. I use my 3DS near daily now but never "on the go" so larger size doesnt bother me.

    I'll get the 3DSXL at some point, the $130 deal is good, far better than I expected, so thanks for that heads up Kazza. $250 seems to be the standard price for non-trade ins.

    Thank Primus for the PC gaming community! Day 1 and we've already got a patch for Dark Souls that fixes the graphical issues with the vanilla release. Some screenies I just took while playing:

    Had some time for 360ing today and just wanted some lite action so i played the Vanquish demo again (and again, etc..) trying different stuff with the boss. Once i remembered the controls again DAMN i love that sega arcade action feel!! I must buy the full (it is short) game (and cheap now!)

    just thought some people might like to know Borderlands 2 comes out on the 21st September and the cheapest site i know is GreenManGaming (my referral link http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=kuhelinu) for $50US compared to steams $70US.

    but also, there's a 25% off code valid for another 20hrs GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G which brings it down to $37.5US.

    also, if you use my referral link, we both get credited $2 each when you spend at least $2 on their site.

    Any of you guys into video Pinball?
    The guys at Silverball Studios have launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new table and remastered old tables in their Pro Pinball series.

    For those who don't know, Pro Pinball was a series of computer games from quite a few years back now - but still unmatched by the Zen/FX & Pinball Arcade series of recent years.

    They're currently offering a free download of one of their original tables, so give it a go and you'll see how much better they are! I really hope these guys hit their target - i'm hoping they can get a Vita version out so I can play on glorious vertical OLED!

    Does Sonic Spinball count


    Been getting back into red dead redemption lately. Problem is its been a good six or seven months at least since I last looked at it and I've forgotten all the controls. Darnit.

    Anyway, got the hang of it again and I am in the story in Mexico and the cops are rampaging around any settlement. They shoot anybody, so I have been trying to defend myself and lose honour because I shot some guy I shouldn't have. Problem is I can't tell who's shooting at me.

    So I reloaded the game and made a dash for my horse to just get out of the town and some NPC shot my horse!! I've had that same horse for ages now and was very annoyed. So on goes the mask and an entire town massacre ensues. then a reload.\

    God I love RDR

    I had the most frustrating day on Dead Space 2 and WFC yesterday...

    In DS2 I was always facing off against a team of lvl 60s (the highest you can get) with only newbies on my side. In one game I actually got to the final objective (defend the objective from the opposing team) when my lvl10 team mate deliberately started destroying it!!! Doesn't he know the difference between defend and destroy?

    Same deal in WFC, except I guess I'm a newbie (my highest level is 12 ). And the few times I was doing well in team death match the host quit!
