Game vending machines 'pop' up in UK

Dec 16th 2009 7:29AM (Joystiq)
We just got two of these in Cardiff inside the new St. Davids 2 shopping centre. The prices are far more competetive than I expected, think Gladiator on BD was £9.99, but they don't sell games yet.

Did Dell quietly kill the XPS 730 gaming rig?

Analyst: Potter movie delay could push back release of EA's game

Aug 18th 2008 7:34AM (Joystiq)
It took an Analyst to come up with that?

"Ah, yeah so the movie's been delayed. Holy shi-, what are the odds the game BASED on that movie is delayed with it??!!?!?"

Those guys should get paid more. I hate analysts.

Joystiq interviews Rock Band 2's Dan Teasdale

Jul 16th 2008 8:52AM (Joystiq)
No way of just recording the interview? I can't makes heads nor tails of a few questions there.

Will any eventual Wii release be closer to the Xbox 360 and PS3 version in terms of features?

"We'd like to get Rock Band 2 on all relevant platforms by the end of the year."

Bah.

Harmonix blames taxes, other 'little differences' for Rock Band Europe price

God, i'm so pissed at the price they've set. I found that petition about ten minutes ago. If you disagree with the pricing, even if you HAVE the game and feel we got the crappy end of the stick, please sign away. When the American price for the bundle was announced, i was actually glad because it seemed cheap for what you got. Gutted it took 5 months to find out how screwed the EU was.

Fanpoll: will you use 360 instant messaging?

Oh, this is also great because you essentialy saving power if you keep the PC on whilst you game, just to chat.

Fanpoll: will you use 360 instant messaging?

I'll be using it for pure accessibility. Right now i have to switch between my 360 and my PC monitor leads whenever someone wants to talk to me. With this, its just a quick pause,text, un-pause. Simple.

BUT this will only work if the text input device isn't priced through the roof. I love the idea and the design (Raised a little too high, but meh) and as long as it weighs next to nothing i'm sold.

Microsoft's Japan-only Blue Dragon bundle [update 1]

Oct 8th 2006 7:31AM (Joystiq)
Wow. As soon as i saw that i just knew it would get shit in the somments. It's not just that it's racist, it's that i can't see it having any place in a video game post. Even though the post was about japan, It was an unnecessary comment that could have been worded better, or just not said at all. This isn't neccesarilly GameSpot, and so Vladimir can post what he likes, but to a certain line, which he overstepped.
And it doesn't even matter if it was a "tiny bit racist" or that some found it funny, that fact is, a hell of a lot of people didn't.

This site does have an audience, and so you can't just say whatever you feel like and throw in a racist comment. It was a great post, that informed me about the Japan only bundle, but was there really any need for the much commented "round eyes" part?
It just brought the post and the blogger, and in turn the site down.
Any posts about the racist comment could have been posts conversing about the actual bundle, but now it steered off.

As far as im concerned, its a great bundle, and lucky them for getting it so cheap. I wish we had one over here in the U.K (The new PGR3 bundle we get isn't close to being as good value for money) but i guess we got screwed out of one like that for gasp! actually supporting the 360 from the beginning!

Engadget & Joystiq's live coverage of Microsoft's Xbox 360 E3 event

May 9th 2006 4:09PM (Joystiq)
Brilliant coverage, brilliant conferance. Totally didn't expect the whole Grand Theft Auto thing, and i have to admit this conferance has made me want to rush out and get a 360.
