On a slightly related note, if anyone doesn't own the movie yet, or wants a gift for a friend, rightstuf has the DVD/Bluray combo set on sale right now for $35..trust me, that's a deal on it!

Get a PSP 3000, it plays UMD's, has an awesome resolution screen, and when you get it, import Macross Ultimate Frontier!

Ok, after wrestling with those infamous screws, calling sony about getting a replacement cage, getting the run around being told they no longer offer replacement cages, and then writing customer service and literally being told to use a pair of needlenose pliars on the screws to loosen them, I used a pair of needlenose pliars on the screws to loosen them! Protip: Don't even bother using a screw driver if you have an older model PS3, those HDD screws are machined in so tight, that the flimsy metal they're made of can't handle the stress of lossening. Anyway... Popped the new HDD in last night, and damn, 500gig is awesome. The first thing I did was re-install the most useless thing ever, I mean Playstaiton Home. Why? Because I have the space to waste on it now!! Also ran a couple HDD tests, download speeds, running an older game that I heard could skip (Uncharted Drakes Fortune), and all seems well. Actually, I did get a minor scare turning it on this afternoon, with it not recognizing the HDD, but I promply shut it down, tapped the drive a bit to make sure it was secure (yes I already checked to make sure all the screws were in tight), and turned it back on, and all was fine. Also for those thinking of upgrading, system software 3.21 seems to fix the need to re-install updated software like the guide says, starting it up with the new HDD still prompted a format, but 3.21 booted straight up, instead of reverting to the production version. What perfect timing, Final Fights out, Afterburner is almost out, and I'm even tempted to check out the GTA bonus content.

You know, it's not like the games forum is so big that you'd miss that topic...

http://store.bandai-ent.com/category_s/117.htm The limited editions come with Parallel Works (the first one anyway) split onto 2 disc's.

If by nothing spectacular, you mean f^cking awesome, then I agree.

No, Blade Trinity is still worse than Steel.

Chubby, women are supposed to have meat on them damnit, if you can see ribs, toss them a bucket of chicken!

Back on topic somewhat...I hope Ultimate Frontier's sequal doesn't catch any of the uber obnoxious point requirements to unlock stuff that Assault Survive has. MUF had a perfect system, win points + win money, giving you the option of unlocking through special means, or purchasing Valkyries if you couldn't wait. GAS on the other hand makes you do both, meet criteria to unlock mobile suits, then spend ungodly amounts of point to purchase them...

Bandai just announced that they've also licensed Disappearance! ::BLU-RAY BLU-RAY BLU-RAY BLU-RAY:::

If you're ever in doubt, make sure the shop you order from has a "gift" option, which specifies special packaging & designation I believe.

Definately going for 5400 RPM, but did it matter whether it had a 3gb or 1.5gb somethingerother? I'm also assuming the WD is Western Digital?

So there I was, all psyched up to upgrade my PS3's hard drive (60 gig backwards compatible model), already aware of the screw stripping issues & what not. So I started reading up on various HDD's & installation techniques,, and get totally freaked out by horror stories of 3gb somethingerother rates being too fast, needing a 1.5 gig jumper, and something about disc based games skipping with some HDD's installed.... Any reccomendations?

You've taken so many shots in 7 topics, I save such divine retribution for only the most opportune of moments! Besides, everyone know's my member title is "Don't Listen to Me"

Nah dude, I'm pretty sure "Robotech" is for the kiddie crowd. I also doubt you've seen any serious Gundam.

How hard was he? LOL

I honestly think people wouldn't mind as much if they announced they did it to increase performance somehow. Like speeding up XMB load times while playing games or something of that nature.

Peacewalker looks to be the ulitmate in PSP games. You had me at Dorito's!! In other news, finally unlocked the Hi-Nu Gundam, and it's freakin' 12,000,000 points, come on, really? AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! 68% MS, 72% Parts, 81% pilots, 100% Missions, over 70 hours.

Funny thing, I've not read up on Unicorn, but since watching the first episode, I've totally been anticipating something like that happening.

Now that's funny!

You're confusing Bandai Visual with Bandai Entertainment. Bandai Visual is the Japanese arm that for a short period had a U.S. office that released freakin' awesome quality stuff, at R2 prices. Bandai Entertainment is the U.S. sister company who releases decent to randomly glitchy as all hell quailty stuff, at usual R1 prices. This release is being done by Bandai Ent.

Important news update: BANDAI ENTERTAINMENT ACTUALLY LICENSED THE FREAKIN' ZETA MOVIES, OMFG!!! JUNE 22ND!!!

Ah, but did you know Since in ZZ . Or for that matter, that Big things indeed that you miss by not seeing ZZ.

I don't know, a couple big plot points are already tied in with ZZ.
