bundled PS3 80Gig with Killzone 2 and Metal gear solid 4

Post by Morrolan » 6th Jul, '09, 08:50

rumoured to be for the price of a standard bare PS3, making the PS3 price technically only AUD 299.

for you PS3 users out there, are those games any good (apart from the impressive demos)?

I trust the reviews at www.gamespot.com so might be worth checking there.

Do you have to buy it before you go home?

Killzone 2 is awesome... easily best FPS on PS3. Can't comment about MGS - played the demo and got bored quickly. Others rave about it.

They give MGS4 a 10 out of 10 and Killzone 2 a 9/10.

I also notice that Tiger Woods Golf 10 makes the Wii a genuine purchase.

am actually looking at buying it. it now comes in a bundle with the new increased sensitivity sensor for the Wiimote, which means you get the sensor for free.

Played Guitar hero for the first time over the weekend. hate to say it but despite reservations going into it, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but I think it's best to play it hidden from view...
So…if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

So I had $182 dollars worth of vouchers to spend at the local appliance shop, so I bought a Wii. And I bought Tiger Woods Golf 10. It will be interesting to see whether it gets anywhere near the reality of golf. I shall let you know.

HAhahahahaaa!

Haha!

Brilliant. Far easier than real golf of course, but super fun all the same.

Must try the tennis for a laugh, but now it's time for the cricket.

for the über-geeks:

Wiimote hack improves real-life tennis game.
The Wiimote uses Bluetooth as its wireless connection; thus with a little work it can communicate with other Bluetooth devices, like laptops. Then, combining the wireless aspect with some open-source Wiimote libraries, some basic coding, and a bit of simple maths, Shapshak was able to start tracking his toss and serve. Then he started graphing his results.

By using the data as performance feedback he can practice more efficiently and, hopefully, get a more consistent serve. The same idea could be used for bowling, golf or any other sport.
