A few things.

Kills are scored based upon how sneaky they were. So if you have someone who is going to run like a maniac through the game (and somewhat go against the spirit of the game) then they will get 100 points a kill. Meanwhile if you are blending into a crowd, sneaking up on your target, and make a silent kill you will get 600 points.

If you trick someone into killing a civilian (by hiding well or otherwise fooling them) then you get 100 points. I have won matches by making 2 good kills and then the rest of the time simply sneaking around and causing other people to make mistakes. It is a genius little twist that rewards smart play and highly rewards patience.

Also you can get a group of buddies and go into a party chat. Start matchmaking and the game is 6-8 players. You can have 6 in your party and spend time laughing and bullshitting with one another while playing a free for all game of tag. It recalls to mind all those fun games I had with CoD2 and the original Gears where we weren't focusing on the competition but just having fun. Also, those FFA matches give you XP to level up your character and unlock new abilities.

Well, that does sound rather cool. I wondered what the fuss was about but haven't really read much more into it.

The one nice thing about the PS3 is that it plays all Blu-rays out of the box, whereas standalone players will sometimes have trouble with select discs.

I decided to start my own thread in the home theater forum rather than hijack this one and have my questions about adding a blu-ray player to our home theater once and for all, thanks.

God of War 3 lightning deal for $29.99

Just convinced my office mate to buy a second one rather than a BRD player.

I'm kind of tempted to buy a third!

Geez, I think the deal's dead already. It no longer has the offer listed next to the photo.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was looking at other bundles and not just the 160GB stand-alone PS3.

I much prefer my PS3 as a BD than any other type of player. Price not-withstanding, it's a great player, upgrades to 3D and well, plays games. IT DOES EVERYTHING!

Yeah, I bought it, thanks. With the $100 Amazon credit and the $100 I scored off selling my Tron DVD on eBay (sold to go toward our first blu-ray player), we're walkin' away with a $100 PS3. Nice.

it's dead now.

Holy crap! I have that DVD on my shelf right now. I may have to look into liquidating it since I imagine it will be re-released when Legacy hits DVD.

I put mine on Amazon for $80 and it was sold a day and a half later. This was the first time I sold anything on Amazon, so I was surprised at how quickly it sold...especially being a new seller and not having any sort of rating.

Nice profit for a dvd I bought off Craigslist for $3.

Oof!

Splatterhouse isn't even worth that much IMO. Majin on the other hand is one I still want to try out, for $17, I might bite.

I've got Demon's Souls in my cart, waiting to pull the trigger if it's not under the tree tomorrow.

20$ for Enslaved is a good deal. I think I had like 14 hours or so on my game (according to Raptr) and I really enjoyed the story. Underrated game that I think needed better advertising (and better cover art).

Hrmmm, Splatterhouse is tempting for me...but then again I'm an old Turbo Duo/Graphix guy. I still have my Duo in the closet with about 50 or so games (and Splatterhouse is one of them). Doesn't this one include the old games as well?

You can unlock all three of the original Splatterhouse games in this, yes. That's the only reason I kept my review copy.

I got Enslaved. LOVED the demo, the music was beautiful, and havent had that much excitement towards a game since Uncharted 1 demo. I have a huge backlog but its getting bumped up.

Enslaved was worth the $30 I paid for it, but short. $20 is a steal. I ended up getting The Force Unleashed II since I hadn't played it yet. The little bonuses seem cool.
