Kind of like how I'm not buying Starcraft II yet until the 3rd expansion is released and they make a Battle Chest, even if it costs $150.

Good call. I wouldn't pay full price for what seems to be a third of a game. Yes, I'm a SC 'geewunner' as evidenced by my name.

I do want Diablo 3 on PS3 too but will just wait until they release the expansion in a complete pack then get it. But then I heard it'll be coming out on the PS4 too so I might just get it when it comes out on the PS4 (if I do get one).

man i wish i had your patience ...the expansion going to be release next year for PC and then for the console another year after that , cause they like to milk it all up .. and SC2 it has been two year between each expansion! but I think it better to wait for the battlechest because you get to play through the whole story , i totally forgot what happen in the first one when the second came out .
But then im a sucker for them collectors' editions !

Whoa imagine if we knew when the second battlchest would come out and you'd play the first SC again or just before the expansion for Diablo III came out just play all of the Diablo games again.

I bought a Journey special edition thing the other day. I already have Flower by the same company and wanted to try Journey, as I heard it was somethig special. And boy howdy was it good. Managed to knock it off in one (and my first) sitting though, thanks to the mechanic of it randomly adding another pleyr to your game. I ended up travelling though my journey with a guy from Japan, who seemed to know exactly where to go.

Turns out the guy had 100% trophies and stuff. Crazy.

Cool thing was, when I first came across the dude, I was like "hmm, NPC? Might follow them for a bit" and this 'NPC' led me to these power ups I would have otherwise missed. Using the 'ping' communications, I eventually came to the comclusion it was an actual person. Crazy. Made me feel bad about pausing to go make some tea.

It was great fun, and a fascinating experience. I thoroughly recommend it!

I bought that game from a JB Hi Fi special and still haven't touched it yet, will get around to it... ...probably next year when I go back to Uni and will be too broke to afford anything else...

I think Target have it for $79, Dick Smith might be the same or cheaper, Kmart is usually one of the cheapest. Just stay away from EB's $109 offer, although the do price match, i just don't like giving them money if i don't have to.

I can't wait. I've been watching all the leaked gameplay vids on Youtube. Shark attacks, dog attacks, muscley women. Online mode will be unreal when it launches next month.

Found my old SNES 9x emulator on a disc the other night along with all my roms. It's pretty hard to find a reliable copy on the interwebz these days so I'm glad I have one. Will have to fire up Super Mario Bros 2. I've had the theme music stuck in my head for days.


Oh and I'm also keen for GTAV.

I've still got a whole host of SNES, Megadrive, GB/C/A/DS Emulators & ROMs that I collected over time... Haven't touched them in ages either.
