Ya, the Grip It's are not eligible for Prime, but I just ordered those GelTabs as well. See which one I like best. The Geltabz look to be more soft and squishy, so we'll see.
ya let me know. Going to take alot for me to switch.

Column, they've been talking about it since the PS3 first came out. But it's only been in talks. Square doing the remasters of the 6 Kingdom Hearts games is a great incentive, though (KH 1.5 & 2.5 are both PS3 exclusives). They've been selling quite well. I imagine that they "may" dip into FF7 as well. Please note that it'll take a long time. They only had a couple of people working on the Kingdom Hearts remasters. Supposedly they had to reprogram the entire game to make it work for the PS3, as all of the PS2 code became trash for the Cell processor.

There's definitely an interest, and the PS4 is easier to program for than the PS3, so we might get lucky.

Any of you here play the PS4 on a 1080i TV? Do you experience any screen fuzzyness or whatsoever?

Xbone with Destiny for $499
PS4 TLOU bundle and Destiny for $449

Dual Shock 4 - $49.49

Now is a pretty good time to buy a console if you are holding out.

Why not just play it on PC then? There's thousands and thousands of high resolution texture packs and model update packs for Bethesda games (Fallout 3/NV and Skyrim) that look amazing.

WTF! They better add using a DS4 as an option with Vita remote play.
You already can, the method is a bit kludgy though - basically have the Vita tied to a different account than the one you're playing on then log on your primary with the controller... or something like that, only works with the DS4 locally though.

You might want to check how many units they move of these games in Japan. These grindy non-narrative games are also easy to make by medium size studios.
Has the US seen any decent games of this type for major consoles that I've missed in recent years? I've only really played monster hunter, but its by far my favorite game series. Just annoys me its locked to handhelds anymore. (fuck buying a Wii U, 4 ultimate isn't coming out on it anyway)

next week Best Buy is running apparently a great promo. When you buy a new PS4 or Xbox One, you get a free game and a free GCU membership. The latter is normally $120 (on sale sometimes for $60) and gives you 20% off every retail game. If you are on the fence on a new console I'd jump on it, especially for the sexy white Destiny bundle. I buy most of my new games from Best Buy, new $60 console games cost only $48 after the GCU discount and you can usually trade them in for $40 within 2 weeks. Many games also include a $10 giftcard for pre-ordering, and with a best buy credit card you also get back 5 or 10% essentially making new games a $0-5 rental.

It should be trivial. FF7 already has PC port and the architecture of the PS4 is basically a PC.

The right trigger on my DS4 went out which also seems like a very common issue with the metal bar in there. PS4 got maybe 3 months of action so this isn't from hardcore playing. I will take it apart tomorrow and see if I can fix it.
