I have a Killzone PS4 Launch Day on Amazon for $551.69. I preordered in June, but I realize now I won't have much time to play it now. It would be a waste of a purchase, but I only am still considering keeping it because of the risk that it might still be sold out during the holidays.

I don't know how the market is for these consoles, but if I cancel my preorder, do you think I'll be able to find one around the holidays for cheaper? Will there already be sales and deals for it a month after its release?

I'm looking to get a PS3 try out the exclusives I've been missing out on for years, just in time to get a PS4.

I'm wondering the differences between the later 2500 and 3000 models.

Yes I know that the 3001B loses the LED lighting, chrome finish on the panel with the power and eject buttons, and gets a smaller fan. But from doing my research, I haven't found any real world comparisons. Most of the comparisons I've seen were done right when the 3001B came out. Now that both versions have been out some time and have a track record, which one would you recommend me to buy? Noise and heat are my biggest concerns, in that order.

Thanks so much.

Hi guys! First off just wanted to say what an awesome game. So far I have noticed 3 minor issues:

1.) Texture quality. On ultra, it looks a little muddy still. I run on a 1440p monitor so maybe that's why textures look as sharp? It may also be because they went for a more Dishonored feel, but is it just me or do they honestly look low quality? If you run a 1440p or up resolution please let me know how they look to you.

2.) Shadows. I know this is a DX11 thing with the Unreal Engine, but I get that line that makes shadows blurrier/sharper depending which way you look at it. I guess what it does is it blurs shadows if they are a certain distance away from you, but that distance is really close, like 10-15 ft maybe. For now I have shadows on high which just makes them all sharp. Is there a config fix for this yet that increases the range of this effect?

3.) The biggest thing that's been annoying me this entire game. Positional audio, it's terrible. For instance, if I walk up to someone talking and turn so they're exactly behind me, I can't hear them anymore even if I'm right in front of them. When I get to the part where the band is playing, I turn so my left side is facing them, my whole right side goes deaf while my left side hears them clearly. I run SBX Pro Sutdio (virtual surround sound from my sound card) in most of my games, but even with it off or on, it's still the same. It's annoying that I have to be facing the person talking to hear them. Is there a fix to this?

Thanks :)

Game just unlocked for me.Singleplayer, multiplayer, and zombies installed.

When I launch singleplayer, I get a black screen and hear the logo animation (but don't see it) then nothing, have to ctrl alt delete.

When I launch multiplayer, I get the Black Ops 2 logo on the bottom right of the screen frozen in place, also have to ctrl alt delete.

Anyone else getting this too?

I'm just going to wait until there's a deal online. I can't play it now anyway.

Hoping that the LE console goes down to $300 somewhere!

Skyrim is a download only, So theres no way you could sell that. I'd just go ahead and get the Halo 4 bundle. You would get more money for selling the controller, rather than selling Forza.

So $200 - whatever I can sell those 2 games for + the price of Halo 4 around black friday

or

$350 (maybe $300 around black friday?!) - 1 of the controllers

I definitely want to go for the Halo 4 LE console, especially if it drops to $300. But I don't think that's likely, since Halo 4 just came out. Do you guys believe the rumors about the likelihood of the holiday bundle dropping to $200? Idk I could be wrong, what do you think is the better buy?

Hey guys,

Haven't had an xbox for several years. Mainly getting one again for Halo 4 and future console exclusives (I'm a pc gamer). I will buy it around black friday when the deals start to appear (if any).

My question to you guys is, should I get the this years Xbox 360 Holiday Bundle or the Halo 4 LE console? I would want to make some cash back, so if I got the Holiday Bundle I would sell the 2 games and buy Halo 4 LE (for the DLC) or Halo 4 standard edition and LE DLC. If I got the Halo 4 LE bundle I would sell one of the controllers (already have controllers left over from my previous xbox), I wouldn't have to pay for Halo 4.

What do you guys think?

Also is the early access to the specializations really worth it? It's not like I'll be playing right away anyway.

[QUOTE="muller39"]

Halo 4 is coming out on Tuesday and I really want to get it. I don't own an Xbox 360 so would the saving be worth it if I wait a few weeks?

shadow_Metroid

Yeah,, if I were you I'd wait. I've heard rumors of $200 for a bundle. Maybe you could find it even cheaper.

Yea, $200 for the bundle and discount on Halo 4 around Black Friday ($50 right?). Would I be able to sell Forza 4 Essentials and the Skyrim digital download code that comes with the bundle? (are people still buying them?)

I'd steer clear of a used Xbox simply because you don't know what's been done to it and you won't get any type of warranty.

Well what about if I order a refurbished one online? The holiday bundle does look good! I could sell Forza and Skyrim to get some money back, and I could even get the Digital Etertainment bundle from amazon and sell all but the 3 month gold membership.

Hopefully it will be reduced to $200 this year too.

I'm at college at the moment, coming home for thanksgiving. So I'll definitly grab store deals on games then (most likely will be gettin Halo 4 then) and will pick up a 360 from craigslist. :) anyone know a reasonable price for a used slim 360 in good condition (just the 360, power cord and video cables)?
