Did you guys use the $5 off $50 coupons? damn, can't find any of those and my codes expired, damn... when you want them, they're not available...

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Yeah, I used a $5 off coupon.

I didn't already have one. I just did a Yahoo search for - "Play Asia"+coupon and one came up for me.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I tried a half dozen coupons from a google search but none worked. :sad:

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

If anyone still needs one, try one of these two sites:

I was going to check CAG for coupons but was too lazy.

Review of Aquanaut

Sounds just like Endless Ocean except prettier & in 7.1. :up: :up: Just what the doctor ordered.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

damn, the $10 off $50 is great, but all used... i probably gonna end up with one of the titles, money is tight.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Yeah, I needed to pick just one. After reading some of the reviews about Afrika's poor environment textures I went with Aquanaut's trophy support and technical prowess. I wanted to like Endless Ocean so I'm hoping this lives up to that promise.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Yeah, i went with AH, $34 shipped... I never liked Wii's Endless Ocean (if it's a 8 bit game, it's understandable, but it's not...), i bought it for $30, traded in for $22 (after a year of sitting on the shelf). Come to think of it, Aquanaut's Holiday is way better (of course, at $34 that is).

Please refrain from comments like this.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

sigh, it's stupid... i have ZERO idea why, but whatever you say.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Because it was purely a bash on the Wii. Which as you should know is a no go here.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Yes, this is the PS3 thread, we're only allowed to bash Sony.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Came off like he was bashing a game and not the system.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Not sure if the English is exactly the same, but Play Asia has this for $29.90 in the Korean/English format. It likely is.

:lol: Scroll up gryffin, I posted that review because everyone is ordering it from play-asia. Thanks though.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

:lol: Somebody -- I won't mention who -- needs to scroll up just a bit farther when scanning over the forum. My apologies.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

Please refrain from posting comments like that here. It's clearly a bash on forums, scanning, and apologies.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I understand that orders are needed to keep forums nice and neat. However, it does get on one's nerves when things are blown out of proportion for no good reasons. I get a thread delete for posting a Costume Code for sale (okay, i can live with that). I get a warning for using the word EMULATOR (fine, i'm not gonna fight with that). And now i get a refrain notice for saying Endless Ocean's lacking graphic makes the game less enjoyable. What's next Liver&Onion? Refrain from posting altogether? I don't have problem with that either. I know this is your turf, i respect that, but let me just say, you're a mod with nothing else better to do.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

To be fair, you didn't say the graphics were lacking. You said they were only acceptable from an 8-bit system. It's either a thinly-veiled console bash or just plain ignorant. Take your pick.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

But still, it was a minor bash compared to the trash we talk all the time.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

There goes again... taking things out of context. If you read everything negatively, then yeah, you can interpret everything that way.

What i said about Endless Ocean is simply this:

If it's an 8-bit Endless Ocean, i can understand... because old school 8-bit games are still cool (Megaman). But Endless Ocean is not an 8-bit game, so the lack of "good looking fish" makes it less enjoyable. For people don't play Xbox 360 or PS3, maybe understandable (see the general customer reviews on Endless Ocean).

Take pick my ass (excuse me for the language, but i feel like a bad ass at the moment), you spun the whole thing to the level that i don't even know i started the topic that way...

DID I EVER SAID ENDLESS OCEAN IS AN 8-BIT GAME? All i've said was, if it's an 8-bit game, it's understandable, but it's not...

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

I guess I don't "understand" by what is "understandable".

Is the PS3 capable of better graphics than the Wii? Certainly, there is no doubt.

I just fail to see what bit-count has to do with that subjectivity.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
 

This is what was being commented on. Perhaps it's due to cultural differences, or the previously known fact that English isn't your primary language. But when you say "If it was an 8bit game that would be fine, but it's not" that implies sarcasm that is a slight on the game at hand.

Imagine it this way - if you said something and I replied "That would be acceptable if he was 5 years old...but he's not." how would that be taken?
