Playstation@home
I was bored this afternoon so I thought of trying out Playstation@home. Just for the fun of it I made a new account for a female character. I don’t think “Trixoptics” is appealing enough. Ok fine, for research purposes. Ok, you got me, I wanted to learn how to flirt with girls from being in a girl’s perspective.
Game of the Year
I got to admit, it is catchy.
Imma kill them all
Imma kill them all
Imma kill them all
On a side note, old news, but lmao at Game Trailer’s 360’s and PS3’s GOTY, and GOTY being Modern Warfare 2
Video Games Loot!
Guess what I have acquired at Best Buy today? Once I saw the price drop of the used games in the system, I quickly grabbed whichever games I had the slightest thought of playing.
I spent $77 after-tax on 7 used games.
Prices before tax:
Killzone 2 = 15.95
Heavenly Sword = 16.50
Resident Evil 5 = 14.30
Motorstorm = 1.10 (LOL)
Resistance = 3.85
Star Wars Force Unleashed = 7.70
I am not sure if there was a pricing error in the system, but these are good deals for used games! Too bad the used games selection is small.
Upgrading/Replacing my PS3 HDD
I figured that it was time to upgrade my 40GB HDD to one with a larger capacity. Bought myself a Western Digital 320GB 5400RPM as the replacement.
Before I took it out, I lastly synced my trophies to the server and backed up my system.
Pop off the cover.
platinum
I have been posting quite slowly now because I have been trying to obtain all the trophies for Uncharted 2. And guess what? I have acquired my PLATINUM!!! Oh baby! My first platinum. I feel like going back to all my games and start collecting trophies. This has to impress the chicks.
“Hey sexy, I an involved in a variety of extracurricular activities. Want to see my trophies?” *shows my awesome virtual PS3 trophies*
*starts flexing* “Yeah, see that platinum right there?”
Uncharted 2
EB Games is currently having a deal where you trade in 2 games and get a $59.99 game for $9.99, 64.99 for 14.99, and 69.99 for 19.99. However, you must trade in a game with a tiv of at least $8.
Yesterday I picked up a copy of Uncharted 2. I rarely trade in my games since I enjoy them and want to maintain a “collection”, but I traded in Uncharted and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. These games had a tiv of $8 and $9. In addition, I got rid of all my ugly red cases. Uncharted 1 was good, but not a game I would play again. As for GT5P, I had to get rid of that game quick because the full version game is coming out in Feb. The more I wait, the lower the tiv, and the harder to sell in classifieds.
Also, I actually saved money for once from trading in games!
Back in the day, I bought Uncharted for $22.5, and GT5P for $25 (actually I only paid $5 along a free game I had).
Total = 47.5
I had to pay $9.99 + tax = $11.29 for Uncharted 2. Retail value is 59.99 + tax = 67.79
So, I saved 67.79-11.29-47.5= $8.99!!!!
I finished Uncharted 2 today. AMAZING game with beautiful visuals. I just have a problem with the monsters because I hated them in the first and this time they are much harder to kill. Humm, maybe I should buy Uncharted 1 to complete the collection. Buying it back won’t be a problem because the value I gained from trading in is more than buying it again.

Another rainy day. It has been pouring every morning for the past few days.
I lied…
Actually, I lied in my previous post about not supporting any developers. I forgot that I just bought Ratchet and Clank 3 days ago. I was too immerse in the world of Rapture. Therefore, I supported PS3 developers by buying my first game from Wal-Mart. Surprising, eh?
That night I checked out RedFlagDeals for any good deals, and found Ratchet and Clank for $20. With 40 mins before Wal-Mart closes, I rushed out of my door and picked up the last copy closest to my location. Got the ugly red Greatest Hits case. But for a brand new game, it isn’t that bad. Better than getting a so-called “new” copy from EB where the case is damaged and dirty, in which I actually thought it was a pre-owned copy. Over time I will probably pick up a game that I would hate, so might as well change cases and trade that game into EB.
How to remove EB Games’ sticker
What I hate about buying games from EB Games is the stupid price sticker they stick on the cover of the game. I even hate how they always gut their games, even new copies. Meaning that they take the games out and store them into CD sleeves. Funny thing is that I haven’t supported any developers for the PS3 since I get all my games used or off eBay.
Nonetheless, I am a collector and I still want my games to look just as new. Over time from buying pre-owned games from EB, I have slowly found a better way to take off the sticker without damaging the case. Today’s demonstration will be on BioShock. I recently bought this game from a local classifieds ad for $20. Don’t let the sticker fool you. No way I paid $39.99 when the retail price of the game is now $29.99. I also just finished this game. I got to say that this is such an awesome game. I heard a rumour that it will be for $10 next week for EB daily door crasher sale. I will be so sad when I could have waited for a couple more days to get it for half the price I bought it for. Also, I need to upgrade my PS3 HDD soon.
For this demonstration, I used my nendoroids to guide you through. If they can do it, so can you! That sounded so cheesy. Credits to fellow comrade Kodomut for being creative with nendoroids. You should check them out.
Ugly EB stickers make Pastel Ink and Saber Lion cry! How dare they!!
