General Gaming / Australia ps3 price

« on: July 14, 2006, 03:32:36 PM »

I was having a browse through the local paper this morning and i found a harvey norman games liftout. On the bottom of the front page it has in big letters
"ps3 premium console $999"
"pre-order now" etc.

I imagine that is what the standard price will be from all the retailers.
Thoughts?

General Gaming / PS3 hardware article (hail all techies)

« on: July 14, 2006, 04:42:45 AM »

I found this article trying to explain ps3 hardware.

Because of the fact im not technically minded and therefore cannot understand this i thought i would post a link here and see what those of a "higher education" can make of it.

Do you think its a fair analysis or a fanboys wishful thinking?

Nintendo Gaming / How do you catch nosepass and Feebass??

« on: August 09, 2004, 01:46:52 AM »

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but would someone please give me some pointers on how to catch a nosepass and a feebass.  I realise that it is probably just luck of the draw as to what appears, but is there any little technique or something that can be done to make them slightly more common to appear?  Cheers.

General Chat / Starwars 3 title announced.

« on: July 28, 2004, 11:28:18 PM »

Star wars episode III: Revenge of the Sith.  Nothing too flashy is it.  Still, sounds very intruiging.  What do you laides and gentleman think??  (Just my luck everyone knew this a week ago.)

Anyway, May 19 next year is the big day.  How many of you will be at the front door in a costume with bells on??

Nintendo Gaming / Linking GBA's for trading pokemon

« on: May 16, 2004, 04:11:37 PM »

I've got a problem.  I'm trying to link 2 GBA SP's with gold and silver to trade and battle.  But the things won't link.  The one with the player 1 end of the cable says something like searching for other player, while the other end saves the game, looks and still doesn't find anything.  I don't think it's the cable because i have tried 2 different ones.  Is their a special method you have to follow.  I don't have the instruction booklets because i got them second hand.  Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers.

Nintendo Gaming / If you were making a new Rogue Squadron...

« on: March 24, 2004, 01:39:11 PM »

What would you add or remove from the current  series?  I think it has been pretty evident that the ground missions would be the first to go.  If I were going to put suggestions forth, I would like to put  whole new set of abilities in.  If any of you have read any of the X-Wing series, you would notice that the pilots have the ability to use rudder pedals (cause the craft to rotate left or right).  Now I'm not suggesting that Nintendo make a set of rudder pedals for 1 game.  But somehow incorperate it into the next game.

The use of repulsor lifts would also be a good addition.  You could literally move straight up while still facing forwards. You can also bounce off cliffs if you are flying parrallel to them.

I know that there are supposedly shields in the previous 3 games but they aren't really there.  That gauge is more hull integrity than shield strength.  You should be able to shunt power from engines/lasers to shields and the like.  You should also be able to choose where to put your shield strength, ie, all power to rear shields while leaving your nose exposed.  If you've played freespace 1/2 you know what I mean.

Now I know that there is probably no chance that this could be done on the current controller.  But still I'm just dreaming here.  What would you do to change it??

General Gaming / Console or PC??

« on: December 10, 2003, 06:18:26 PM »

What do you feel is more value for money?? Console's or PC's.  My opinion is a console hands down. They last 3-5 years without superseeding.  The graphics are fine. They cost much less than a PC. $250-$300 compared to $2000-$3000.  The games are about the same price.  PC's are more versatile but are much more likely to stuff up.   Anyway, these are my thoughts, what do you think??

Nintendo Gaming / Why does Roy's sword flame?? (Fire Emblem)

« on: September 30, 2003, 09:45:47 PM »

I can't get fire emblem here so forgive my asking the obvious.  But why does Roys sword flame when you attack someone? (In Smash Bros. Melee anyway)  Does this happen in the fire emblem game/s?

Nintendo Gaming / Who's gonna get Starcraft Ghost???

« on: August 18, 2003, 10:35:57 PM »

I know that it's a few months/years/decades whatever before coming out.  But do you think it will be very good.  I've got my hopes up with this game cause I love the original starcraft.  I've also heard rumors of Starcraft 2 a couple years down the track.  Anyway, tell us what you think of any of the a-fore-mentioned games.

Nintendo Gaming / What did you think of the clone wars??

« on: August 11, 2003, 10:00:19 PM »

I just would like to see how many of you people out there played or purchesed the Star Wars Clone wars game.  I havn't seen any mention of it on the forums so far and I"m just wondering what you thought about the game.  Personally,  I think it was a good game, but it was just to short and to easy.  I have got every bonus point and bonus items.  I think the graphics were brilliant though.  Especially the movies. What did you think???

« on: July 22, 2003, 07:11:29 PM »

As you can guess i just got windwaker and the bonus disc.  Do i need the RGB cable to get it to work, or will i just need a newer tv.  The tv im using is about 10 years old.

Nintendo Gaming / Windwaker Bonus Disc

« on: July 22, 2003, 07:07:32 PM »

I recently bought windwaker and i only realised the second disc when i opened the box,(shows how much I read).  Then i saw the sticker on the box that says that it may not work with older TV's.  I tried it on my tv and sure enough it didn't work.  When it loads at the beginning  it says the TV needs to be able to do 60hz.  Im just wondering if i need the special RGB(optional component video) to be able to run this game, or do i need to plug it in to a newer TV?

Nintendo Gaming / How much does equipment cost where you live?

« on: June 25, 2003, 03:57:48 PM »

I live in Australia and I tell you that although nintendo stuff is half the price of the other two systems, it is still very expensive.  I've seen in other topics that you mentioned prices for various peices of gaming.  When i saw them i nearly had a heart attack.  I costs $100 for a GBP, $70-80 for a decent GBA game.  I was just wondering what countries you people are from and how much Nintedo's, games etc are in your area?

Nintendo Gaming / Sector 2 in Metroid Fusion

« on: June 21, 2003, 07:56:19 PM »

I need help with sector two in metroid fusion. (dir)  Right after you get the morph ball bomb.  The door blows up in the room before the data room you use to download the bomb.  You have to bomb your way down and follow the road until you get to a main hall as such with about 4-6 doors.  I was wondering if someone could tell me where to go to get to the next nav. room.   Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing.

Nintendo Gaming / The new GBA-GCN attachment platform.

« on: June 19, 2003, 01:38:59 PM »

Nintendo has just released today a peice of technology that works just like the old super game boy for SNES.  I was just wondering if it also emulates what the link cable does with games that are linkable.  EG.  metroid prime and fusion are linkable, for some things.  i was just wondering if this platform can do the same thing.
