    PC and Videogame Wrapup for 8/17 to 8/23

    Any word on the new Greatest Hits games? I'm champing at the bit to pick up Kingdom Hearts and Hitman 2, but I'm not seeing the new price reflected at the stores. I thought this was supposed to happen on the 17th.

    Sorry, I'm not aboard the "all is well" bandwagon. The heavy-handed way this was handled, not to mention the inconsistent application of long-ignored rules by often-absent moderators, has soured my appreciation for this forum.

    Does the word "FAST" mean anything to you? F-Zero GX Import Impressions

    By "threadcrap" I believe he meant that your post had nothing to do with the topic in the title of the thread (kinda like this one). Perhaps you should start a thread of your own about Daytona and your hopes and dreams for it.

    Any HTFer's getting Ghost Recon: Island Thunder?

    Nah, the darkness bothers me too. It's got nothing to do with being a game feature (what, I ducked into a cave to read the map?), and it does affect gameplay, particularly in a night map. Great game, bad bug.

    PC and Videogame Wrapup for 8/10 to 8/16

    I think he's referring to the Best Buy "Gamer Gift Card" which comes with a $5 off coupon on the back.

    PS2: which games don't support digital optical audio?

    Fantavision also does not support optical audio. I think you mostly have to worry about launch games.

    PC and Videogame Wrapup for 8/10 to 8/16

    There's usually a shelf of unsold games that no longer fit inside the glass case, often mixed in with Greatest Hits titles. As Glen said, there is also a Clearance shelf and I found Mad Maestro stashed with the discounted PC games. I often know the price (thanks to Glen) better than the...

    PC and Videogame Wrapup for 8/10 to 8/16

    Maybe this was just a lucky find, but I picked up Mad Maestro (PS2) at Target for $1.44. :D

    BUYER BEWARE: Gamestop changes return policy

    The opened "new" box doesn't really bother me as the return policy for defective games from EB Games and Gamestop both seem pretty good (I've yet to have to avail myself of them). What bothers me are the damn stickers they slap on the opened boxes. I bought a copy of Fur Fighters for DC which...

    News item: Nintendo...

    Nintendo sales flagging, price cuts soon, consumers reject $149

    In other words, the GameCube should be exactly like the Xbox. Only smaller. :) I don't expect Nintendo to abandon hardware (nor the US/EUR market), but they are certainly losing the third-party sales race and will likely continue to do so. Why don't they lower the prices of their games? The...

    Nintendo sales flagging, price cuts soon, consumers reject $149

    Everything I remember reading has said that Nintendo was making a profit on hardware sales, though it was probably not that big at the $149 price point. That profit will most likely disappear at $99, though if you're only selling 80,000 units a quarter, it's not that big of a loss. ;) One...

    My impressions of Pelican Wireless Xbox controller...

    Good review, Ian. I've also got the Pelican and really like it. Please update us on the AirStyle, as I'm interested in picking one up (the Logitech's analog sticks are just way too floaty, though the wireless is spot-on). Another HTFer posted a negative review of the AirStyle here.

    PC and Videogame Wrapup for 8/3 to 8/9

    Yes, I agree on featuring all the price-dropped games. A "good" game is a subjective thing.

    Glen, what store are those PS2 games at that price?

    I'm planning to purchase ONE NFL game for my Xbox. But which one??

    Am I the only person who dislikes all the complicated owner/franchise/coach additions to sports games? These games are getting too complicated to just pick-up-and-play for the casual sports gamer. I barely understand how to differentiate between passing and running plays, much less set the price...

    How to organize cables?

    Sorry, my cables are a worse mess than yours, I'm sure. Going "wireless" added four wires to the mix!

    How to organize cables?

    I use Linksys for wireless Xboxing and it works just fine.

    I took the plunge...

    Target will mark Halo down to $27.88 every couple of months for a weekend. Keep an eye on Glen Haag's videogame wrap-up thread.
