Joyswag: Dreamcast Collection, soundtrack vinyl and 'Still Thinking' hoodie

Mar 21st 2011 10:33PM (Joystiq)
While as other people have said, there were many MANY great games on this system, my favorite Dreamcast game is Shenmue, hands down. MAN what a game! I was inspired to pick it up again as I swore I heard in passing someone asking if I wanted to play 'Lucky Hit'. I looked and they were on the phone and I SERIOUSLY doubt that's what they said. I am hoping they come out with a third to continue the story. I got the import of Shenmue 2 and was disappointed when the Xbox version was not as good as the imnport. Still played it through though!

I great up on Sega and did not have a Nintendo until I was an adult and bought a N64 from the Mall of America a bit after launch. Sega has always been my console of choice.

P.S. I should win based on my avatar alone! :-D I celebrate its birthday every year!

Blockbuster integrates games into Total Access subscription [update]

Feb 11th 2009 12:31PM (Joystiq)
I got a combo pass at BlockBuster where you can get unlimited "swap-outs" of 1 game or movie which was pretty decent at $22/month. It was working well as I was watching season 1 - 4 of LOST before the new season started and would get 2 to 3 discs a day with games for myself or the kids in between. Going good... until Blockbuster started to never have any new games.

I was hoping to pick up Mirror's Edge...nope. The last new game was Fable II (ONE copy for the whole store) and now Skate II (I have no interest in playing).

Not only that, here are their new store hours pasted from their site:

Mon : 12:00PM - 09:00PM
Tue : 10:00AM - 09:00PM
Wed - Thu: 12:00PM - 09:00PM
Fri - Sat: 12:00PM - 10:00PM
Sun : 12:00PM - 09:00PM

That EXTRA sucks because they used to close at 11 daily and midnight on Fri & Sat. I always had enough time to get two movies/movie and game but not anymore.

I moved to Redbox and Netflix and encourage others to do so.

SingStar PS3 backwards compatibility patch available now

I take the phrase "rest of the session" to mean it will work until you turn off your PS3 or end the game. Kind of like if you start out playing the PS2 80's disc (for example) and swap it for other PS2 SingStars. They all have the 80's fonts, graphics, etc. until you turn the game off and start with another disc.
