[QUOTE="HilbillyRokstar"] Really, wow, by my math, he has a $150 system, a couple of $30 games, a couple of $20 games and a few $10 games. $150 +60+40+50=$300. How is your math?HilbillyRokstar

My math's doing fine, considering I'm taking a few graduation courses in it. Fact is, I don't live in the U.S.A: not everyone does, you see, and here, in Brazil, the import taxes and shipping fees make a product that costs US$300,00 there cost here US$650,00, with games that were released a few years ago still bordering the US$100,00 price tag. So you can see selling his system + those games could easily net him US$800,00, if not more.

I sold my 360, with a wired controller and a broken wireless controller, a copy of Fable II, CoD: MW 2 and Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for US$500,00.

You don't have to be a wise guy, I just wanted to know how his stuff could be worth more than what a guy could buy it at Gamestop, it makes no sense to me.

Sorry if I came out unduely rude, but just as you interpreted what I said as offensive, I saw your "How is your math?" as an attempt of insulting me and my apparent lack of knowledge in math. Prices are here ridiculous, even though it's a two-way road: you sell expensive, you buy expensive. Not the cheapest country for a gamer.

Don't put Quake 3 in the same phrase, paragraph, post, thread, text, book, world, galaxy or dimension of Killzone 3. PLEASE. One actually requires skill and practice to be good at, the other is another generic shooter gimmick.

Haven't watched it. I feel bad for having watched only one of the best picture nominees :( : Inception (great movie, although certainly overrated).

[QUOTE="Rod90"]OK, I did it. I gave away Guitar Hero 4, deBlob and ExciteBots. The only one that I'm a bit sad it's for ExciteBots. But now I have my brand new copy of METROID: OTHER M. :DXboxGuy1537

Yeah, how is Other M? I've been looking at it recently, and it looks pretty good.

It's decent. Metroid Prime 3 is an overall better experience, but Metroid: Other M has a much better storytelling, the characters are more fleshed out and it's mostly 2D (whether this is a pro or con is up to you). You also get to see Samus in her Zero Suit -- that adds a few points, right? :lol:

If you sell it here you can probably get around US$800,00 :lol:

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Silent_Ninja87"]Alot of the multipats this year are better on ps3. Example, Dead Space 2, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, portal 2, Mortal Kombat 9 are all better on ps3. Silent_Ninja87
'Better' according to whom.

Dead Space 2 has DS extraction and the whole game on one disc. Marvel Vs Capcom 3 player community is more active on ps3 and the ps3 controller is better for fighters Portal 2 will have steam support, cross play with Mac and PC players. Mortal Kombat 9 will have kratos as a exclusive character and the controller is better for fighters. That good enough for ya??

Following your arguments, I can say that Dead Space 2 and Portal 2 are better on the 360 because the Xbox's pad is better for shooters :P

Cost. I honestly don't blame gamers who resort to pirating here -- if they don't, they won't game, and I'd rather have them buying hardware, online subscriptions and virtual games than not buying them at all. Your average joe can't afford popping US$120,00 for a five year old game (in this case, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess costs US$120,00 new, at retail stores), not here at least.
