Maybe not playing per se, but we are "now gazing" at the PSP Go ... and doing our darnedest to forget about that stack of old, worthless UMDs in the other room.

Forgotten the Fallout 3 DLC for PS3 again??
Two weeks in a row now.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 12:48PM
damn the DLC....I'm just getting the GoTY Edition....glad I waited....
king_is_back1199 @ Sep 28th 2009 1:22PM
i wrestled with the idea of buying the GOTY edition too but i already have FO3 and to own 2 versions is kinda absurd, GameStop will only offer me like 10 bucks for it
profeteer @ Sep 28th 2009 2:22PM
Really, $10? Not sure why I'm surprised with Gamestop...
I actually did the math and it came out to be less to sell my copy to Amazon ($28 a month ago) and get the GOTY as opposed to buying all the DLC. Plus it doesn't reside on my HDD (I hope).
Alex @ Sep 28th 2009 2:59PM
Profeteer, It will have to be installed to the HD. I thought the same as you when I got SI and KotN for Oblivion in the GOTY edition. It' all good now, tough 'cos I gots me an elite.
Markez @ Sep 28th 2009 8:34PM
Hilarious, I think I actually said 'what a douche' out loud when someone whined about it last week. Whiny fanboys acting like everyone shits on them because they're a fandouche of some specific console.
Solace @ Sep 21st 2009 3:33PM
FAIL you missed the Fallout 3 DLC on PS3

I like how Joy doesn't give a shit and ignores us. Thanx for the notice BTW =]
Markez @ Sep 28th 2009 8:38PM
Even more hilarious. I should've taken the time to scroll down, so I could've more appropriately reposted that bit as an exchange between douche 1 and douche 2. Next time I guess.
Jerk Face @ Sep 29th 2009 4:31PM
For the record, I just got like 25 bucks for Fallout 3 last week at Gamestop.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 12:47PM
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2!!!!
also
...Did I miss you guys PSP Go Review or are you waiting til later??
korwyn @ Sep 28th 2009 3:28PM
you just wanna move your controller up and down, don't you?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 3:33PM
lol...thats a bonus...I liked the First Ninja Gaiden....

I'm also trying to forget about my stack of UMD's.... DAMN YOU SCEA!!!!
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 12:49PM
no no no...Damn SCE...Dont exclude the rest of them....lol
dgknight500 @ Sep 28th 2009 1:35PM
Hey, at least SCEE lessens the burden with 4 free games...
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 2:11PM
lol...true...but Sony Computer Entertainment as a WHOLE fucked up this shit....
Bronco-fan @ Sep 28th 2009 12:50PM
Nothing really interesting this week, but I am really excited to see just how much the Go bombs.
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio [Planeteer | Power of the Anti-Fanboy Bitch Slap] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:50PM
I'll be picking up Kingdom Hearts 358/2, I just finished the Chains of Memories remake on PS2 and loved it. I wonder if we'll ever see a Kingdom Hearts game on a nonhandheld Nintendo system.
I won't be picking up Black College Football Xperience: The Doug Williams Edition though...My friend and I picked up 2 copies of the PC version for $1 when Circuit City was going out of business and I still feel like I paid too much.
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio [Planeteer | Power of the Anti-Fanboy Bitch Slap] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:52PM
Oh, I didn't realize that the L4D DLC comes out too, I'll download that for PC. Does anyone know of any really good custom maps to download for L4D?
jadentheman @ Sep 28th 2009 8:13PM
CTC XBL you don't know of Kingdom hearts:birth by sleep for the PSP?
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio [Planeteer | Power of the Anti-Fanboy Bitch Slap] @ Sep 29th 2009 1:24AM
I've heard about Birth By Sleep and I'm excited for it.
bongoes the Black Lantern @ Sep 28th 2009 12:51PM
Wii Fit Plus is out this week? Does Nintendo even announce release dates anymore?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 12:58PM
They don't have to...Crack dealers don't announce when they release a repackaged product either...
Mr Khan @ Sep 28th 2009 1:17PM
Sunday release for them, only reserved for their biggest stuff (though Super Mario Galaxy was excluded, but Brawl, Kart, and NSMBWii are all getting it)
Kyle @ Sep 28th 2009 12:52PM
where's fifa 10?
Nate Addison @ Sep 28th 2009 1:27PM
Where it belongs.
Kyle @ Sep 28th 2009 1:44PM
what do you mean, it comes out on october 2nd..
i.c. weiner @ Sep 28th 2009 4:18PM
... in europe. here in america it comes out october 20
Solace @ Sep 28th 2009 12:52PM
Hey James Ransom Wiley what the fuck is the point of this if you cant even add the FALLOUT 3 DLC to the PlayStaion section? This is two weeks in a row.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:55PM
when they first started Now Playing they said the point was to have it updated continuously as the week goes on
Bronco-fan @ Sep 28th 2009 12:55PM
The point is to highlight games/dlc that haven't already come out?
Solace @ Sep 28th 2009 12:56PM
but the release date is already announced and they missed it last week even after people posted and said so
gobo @ Sep 28th 2009 12:58PM
You and this other poor schmuck obviously know it is being released, don't assume other readers are less informed than you are. It doesn't affect you one way or the other anyways.
And for the sake of using it again: Other.
Solace @ Sep 28th 2009 1:00PM
Last time I check Altered Beast is on the Sega Genesis not to mention PS3 and 360 so why was that posted in the Virtual Console section for the Wii?
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 1:00PM
Gobo I didn't know about it....
Bronco-fan @ Sep 28th 2009 1:04PM
Because every monday Joystiq posts what's coming to VC and Wiiware, and they just pull from that.
Methinks you're one of those Sony fanboys I talked about below, just looking for an excuse to call Joystiq biased. Like it has been said, you already know it's coming so why the hell does it matter?
gobo @ Sep 28th 2009 1:08PM
Well then Chris, thank the heavens you have Solace to look out for you. As you stated above, you are buying the GOTY version anyways... so... um... er... Enjoy not buying the DLC this week, or last week, or next week.
Solace @ Sep 28th 2009 1:10PM
well why can't they post the FALLOUT 3 DLC it's already been announced and dated on the PS3? Its ignorance on the part of Joystiq and the guy writing this up. I posted this last week and he's still too stubborn to add the DLC to the now playing so I'm going to be stubborn about it just like he is.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 28th 2009 2:12PM
lol...yea...but if I already HAD Fallout 3 and I didnt know t would have been useful...lol
Gonzo @ Sep 29th 2009 10:39AM
It's good to see that the discourse here is still mostly filled with fanboy morons calling other people fanboy morons: It means I don't miss anything by skipping the comments section.
I for one am happy that they amended the list and let us know which (I knew one or two were coming out this week but I didn't know which ones; they're all out of the order in which they came to the pc) dlc packs are coming this week: OA & Pitt apparently.
I've tried them all and now that I have Broken Steel I'm probably only going to buy Point Lookout. I guess it's a good idea for them to break up the interesting releases with the less interesting ones.
gobo @ Sep 28th 2009 12:54PM
Family Fun Football brings back fuzzy memories.

"Family Fun!" - I hope he's the announcer.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:58PM
Let's hope it leaves the "bore" out of "laboratory".
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:57PM
Two things:
First: For everyone complaining about them missing the Fallout DLC - You obviously already know that it's coming out, so why are you getting your panties in a bunch because it's not on the Now Playing list? You know when it's available and you know you want it, so go buy it and enjoy it and quit the QQ.
Second: Just wanted to add that I'm anxiously looking forward to the new L4D stuff as well as the new Rock Band DLC.
Bronco-fan @ Sep 28th 2009 12:59PM
"so go buy it and enjoy it and quit the QQ"
But then how would the seemingly countless Sony fanboys here complain that Joystiq is teh bias?
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 28th 2009 1:02PM
I'm sure they'd find a way...
Oh look! The PSP Go Review is up!
Solace @ Sep 28th 2009 1:16PM
Not everyone knows, and that's the point of this to announce what will be releasing this week. I didnt know Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was coming out this week or Dead Space Extraction but now I'll know.
johnnynumber5 @ Sep 28th 2009 5:04PM
STFU Bronco.
No one said anything about bias you fucktard.
Bronco-fan @ Sep 28th 2009 5:39PM
You shouldn't sit down with that Sony stick up your ass Johnny, the fanboyism from some people here (including you) is easier to see than lady gaga's penis.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Sep 28th 2009 12:57PM
I'm really quite excited for Crash Course. I've been trying real hard to get the zombie genocidist achievement with a 2 hr a day schedule, and i could really use a change of scenery. I'm also kinda excited about the Cabela's game. The demo was surprisingly fun. and since i get it through gamefly the price/quality issue means little. Also; achievements : /
AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Sep 28th 2009 1:30PM
You play L4D on PC Wayne?
