Pre ordered Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel edition from Amazon. All up, including their fastest postage, will cost me US$114

Oh man - I only read about this edition last night, so they're already up for Pre-Order!?!

Wow, Just discoverd this little piec of info here, by reading the lateest gameinformere magazine. A fan made Sonic the Hedgehog. Still a WIP it seems, but that video footage looks AMAZING!

OMFG!!!
That is an awesome find Tetsuwan!, for a fan remake that is absolutely incredible and is exactly what Sega should consider IMO!
(This man needs to be hired by SEGA!!! )


In other news,
I have just learned that JB Hi-fi has secured exclusive Australian rights to the "Balls of Steel: Duke Nukem Forever Collectors Edition", of which will be only available via Pre-Order and is apparently labelled as 'Ultra Limited' - So get in quick because as far as I know/read, JB Hi-Fi is the only store other than Amazon and Gamestop on the planet to secure this version of Duke Nukem Forever!

Wonder How much JB will have BOS up for?

Anybody playing DC universe online? I was crusing through the PS store and saw that there was a subscription charge. IS that for real? Thats what I liked about the PS3 free online gaming. I would be very angry if I bought DC universe, got it home, to find out I had to pay a subscription to play the blasted thing...

Pretty sure it goes for all consoles, but you have to pay to play DC Universe. Sucks because that was the single thing that turned me off buying it. IMO, you shouldn't have to continually pay for a game.

Actually, that is something I forgot to add - It's $140.
Now, before anyone says "OMG That's Bull@#$%" it is actually directly comparable to both Gamestop and Amazon if one factors in the shipping cost, because apparently the box for this version is considerably large.
Personally, I think this is a reasonable price really, I mean come on - It's 14 Years in the Making!

So by my logic, if it came out 14 years ago, it should have been $10?

Well, if you reverse your logic and consider depreciation - That $10 price tag would be dead accurate!

Somthing needs to pay for the server upkeep and patches, they could do free to play with premium content ala LotR Online or Champions, but those are buggy laggy messes, so I'm not sure which is the better option imo.

I'm actually baffled by the number of MMOs out there, something like only 10% actually turn a profit. Shit load of risk in making them.

Just an update to what I posted here, there is now a video showing off the Scorpion / Sub-Zero statue set that will be exclusive to the Mortal Kombat Kollector's Edition released here in April.

That's right, it has been confirmed for an Australian release however quantity is not known at this stage. I enquired with EB the other day and they have it in their system for $129.
