I brought my 3DS with me to Kentucky and had it sitting in Standby in my hotel room while I was at work. I noticed one Street Pass, a person named " 'l " from Anguilla... Not sure how it determines where they are from, but that seems pretty far away.

It's based on the Region Settings in the Profile section of the 3DS Settings Menu, that location gets attached to your Mii when it's sent out.

When I was in SF in October for a conference I got several international streetpasses. A couple from Japan (there was a large Japanese contingent at this conference) and a few from elsewhere. Could also have been from the airport.

I think Bioshock Infinite is still up, as well. Have to say that PS+ seems to be on the ball a bit more as far as more recent, well-received titles go than Xbox's Games With Gold has been.

Aren't Xbox's games yours "forever" (life of Xbox service, I guess) though? You keep the license if you stop having Xbox Gold service.

Dunno, but for $30, I have BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, DMC3, and a whole bunch of other titles for a year. Pretty solid.

Brothers seems meh to me so far. It's just a puzzle game with an annoying control scheme... is that all? I mean, it's a beautiful game, but having to control both brothers independently is just hurting my brain.

[EDIT]

And that's only from December to mid Jan. We still have another 11 months of games (though of course the length I have later titles is reduced).

Still, ending up with Bioshock Infinite was a nice surprise.

The terrain gets pretty varied. Some stories and mini-stories unfold. I did not sit and play it all the way through, just took it in chunks

Some decent prices on some Playstation titles starting tomorrow.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/24/back-to-2013-sale-starts-tomorrow/#sf1945877

A Wolf Among Us for $8.99 (PS+) seems like a pretty awesome deal. The first two episodes have been great.

Diablo III for $35.99 (PS+) is pretty decent, too. The console version is really well done. They did an excellent job implementing the controller, and the itemization is much improved over the ******** that was D3 for PC at launch. Also, there's couch co-op.

The story's atrocious, right?

Probably wouldn't be worth a purchase, for me, until that was fixed. Though I think I know some people playing it on the PS3, so maybe.

The story is pretty bad.

Well, the story would be alright if the dialogue weren't so terrible. Probably the best story elements are the follower's dialogue options, and in the banter that goes on while running around playing. The actual main story is suuuuuuper hamfisted.

There are other things I greatly dislike. When coming up to a boss fight, there's a (skippable) cutscene before you fight. These encounters would be much better if there were no cutscene, if you just entered the room and the boss attacked you. You already know you're entering a boss's chambers; there's no need for the cutscene to break things up.

I doubt they're going to fix the story that is already there. I'm very interested to see what they do with Reaper of Souls, as far as story delivery goes.

I guess I'm not making much of an argument to actually buy the game, but I've had a heck of a lot of fun in it, especially with couch co-op as an option.

Necro: Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.

PSN Weekend 5 Dollar Flash sale:

GTA4
Red Dead Redemption
Max Payne 3
Bioshock
Bioshock 2
Guacamelee
LA Noire
Midnight Club
Darksiders
ArcaniA Complete
Fat Princess
Datura
Mortal Kombat (2013)
Duke Nukem Forever

And a few others.
Also the Golden Week Deals

I know some of these are on PC and may have been cheaper but if you don't have a gaming machine this is a good price I think and there are a few console only games in there too. Figured I would toss out the heads up.

With all these relatively good deals lately is Sony finally wising up to the digital market?

Edit: Also Sony sucks for pricing Zone of Enders HD at 10.49 and not 10, I picked up a 20 dollar card and Im 50 cents short and cant just add 50 cents.

The Mark of Kri was a blast on the PS2. It has some pretty gruesome stealth kills, too. Not in this video, but it gives you an idea of gameplay and has a Disney-esque look to it.

Just have to ask, because my brother was telling me yesterday how few games it has for it, and that the couple of new titles he's looking forward to will be on the 360 as well. Is it even worth that much right now?

Not really for me. I personally dont see that big of a differance in graphics or gameplay or even titles to get me off the 360/PS3. Its not like the jump from Xbox to the 360, that was a lot more of a major jump all around and made it worth it. I will probably wait till it drops another 100 or so to buy it.

I'm waiting for actual games to be released on the next gens before I purchase them. So far it seems pretty much everything on the PS4/XOne are coming out on PS3 and 360/PC as well.

I'm still buying new games for the PS3...
