The original Bionic Commando was sweet back in the day, Does anyone know the price on this? If it's under $10 I'm getting it on 360 day 1.

I believe it's the MS points equivalent of $10.

I think that's like 800 points or something...why can't Microsoft just change their points to equal pennies? They could still force you to get extra points just like Nintendo does.

I haven't bought anything on PSN yet, do they do what Microsoft and Nintendo do and force you to pay more then you need to or do they just charge you the price?

@ Bleu

I'd rather not give out my CC number to MS or Sony, so the points system works great for me. I'm waiting for Sony to adopt something similar before I buy anything off PSN.

Marauder - you're a little paranoid if you think a company as big as Sony or Microsoft is going to do anything bad with your credit card number (not to mention the fact you can dispute any charges you want).

CTC - The way it works is you can either just put money into the account (in increments of $5) and pay for things that way, or wait until you purchase and put in exactly the amount you need. Basically, you're just loading the account with precisely the amount you need, and then spend it on the things you marked for purchase. The only stipulation is that it can't be less than $5, so if you don't have any money in your account and want to buy a $1.99 song for Rock Band, you have to put in $5, put $1.99 towards rock band, and have 3.01 left over. However, if you purchase 3 of them for 5.97, you can put in exactly 5.97 and have $0 left over.

Thanks Nate, I'll have to try buying something tonight.

Marauder, do you even have a credit card or do you just keep your money stashed under your bed?

I have to agree with marauder800 I like the pre-paid card system. About what Nate said is not that MS or Sony is going to something bad with it but c'mon how many times we have heard about stolen MS accounts and stuff, I don't think that will ever happen to me but if it happens I prefer my credit card number isn't in it.

Also that for some reason PSN isn't available for México.I wanted to buy some PS one games for my PSP for months.

If you've ever used your credit card for any reason in person, you have much more to worry about w.r.t. identity theft than anything online. It doesn't take much for the waitress or gas station attendant to scribble down your number, expiry date, and confirmation number.

"...but it appears we've run into a few problems in the closing stages. I regret to inform..."

Did you finish reading the article...or is my sarcasm detector broken?

Arguable the best delay release announcement ever (not that there can be many contenders for that award).

"The game is reportedly done but has a few bug fixes and submissions procedures to battle."

Then it wouldn't be "done" then would it?! WTF!
It's cool, just don't delay SFII HD too...

@marauder800: I don't think Sony will ever use a point system, and I hope they never do.

When PSN cards are more widely available you could use that, there's always those prepaid VISA/MASTERCARD cards you can get at Walmart/Walgreens or almost any convenient store and use that.

I missed this one when I was a kid, but I'll be there to get Rearmed on day one, this looks too good to pass up. Not to mention I'll finally get to see what I missed out on all those years back.
