$80? Ouch. I knew that game consoles were expensive in Brazil, but I didn't fully realise that games could also be so expensive.

Well, not really in dollars, I actually meant in our coin the real. An game on america usually cost $60,00 right? In here the exchange rate is R$ 2,00 per dollar, so an console game costs around R$ 120,00 in my coin right? Then you add the taxes and that price jumps to R$ 200,00. Luckly the PC market is not affected by that, and the price just stays around R$ 120,00 for an launch game.

You'd better make it quick, there's only a week left until launch!

Which version are you going for? If your PC can handle it, then Steam will be the quickest way to get it and you'll be 100% guaranteed to get the bonuses.

In the latest Borderlands 2 news, Gearbox have unveiled the final look of Gaige the Mechromancer. She'll be released on the 16th of October, and will be free to people who pre-ordered Borderlands 2 ($10/800MSP to those who didn't).



Oh yeah, I also maxed out my Siren in Borderlands. Now there's only Crawmerax to take out. It's the ONLY part of Borderlands I've never seen, and I'm fully expecting to get my ass handed to me.

Always PS3 for me. XD. I don't play that much PC games except for League of Legends and a little Guild Wars 2 now and then.

Wii-U coming out november 18th

http://albotas.com/p...8th-for-299-349

Nintendo streamed their Wii U conference today where they announced the price and release date for the new console. The basic set comes in white and includes all the essential cables you’ll need to get started along with 8 GB of storage. The Deluxe set throws in a few goodies like a GamePad charging cradle, GamePad stand, controller stand, 32 GB of storage, and a copy of Nintendo Land.

Not sure If I want it at that price. Games in the launch window are ok.

I'll probably wait for 6-12 months then pick up a Premium Wii U, depending on what games are available and after any launch problems are ironed out. It might even have a 3DS-esque price drop a year later.

only 8 and 32 gb for a HD Console?

I know what is Nintendo thinking? My PS3 is the one with 120GB and it only cost me 230$ this costs 300 and 350$.

Yeah, same here. $350 is a little more than i want to spend on video games at the moment. I'll probably wait till Zelda HD and Smash 4 get release dates. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate looks pretty cool, but I think I'd rather get the 3DS version.

I am surprised Bayonetta 2's gonna be an exclusive, though. From the sounds of it, Nintendo bought the rights to the franchise (err...well what they plan to turn into a franchise anyway) after Sega dropped it.

only 8 and 32 gb for a HD Console?

I think good ol' Reggie commented on that earlier.

My link is ready

I'm not tech-savvy enough to know if what he's saying is unfounded or not, but I think it's more likely a move to keep the price down. 8 GB is probably superfluous for the market they're targeting with that model, and I don't think I'd mind storing old save data on an external HDD once I went over 32 GB.

But I dunno, we'll see how it works I guess...

[Dreamer]

Well that kinda makes sense i guess and yeah i'll wait untill the Wii U Zelda edition comes out.

My money still goes to Sony and Microsoft. Sorry Nintendo, I'm broke after my new computer purchase.. so I'll wait till you release a decent console next generation.

[Mik3]

I might get the 32 gig one if i can get a discount at work. Luckily for me i probably wont buy too many games on it besides exclusives. I have my ps3 320 half full of stuff and id hate to see how quick id have to go and pay for more space.

Just so freaking epic and AWESOME!

Kingdom Hearts is coming to the PS3! Nah, not Kingdom Hearts 3. That's just a myth, just like Versus XIII :-/

Anyway it's called Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix. It will include the final mix version of the original Kingdom Hearts and the PS2 remake of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Both will be remastered in HD and will have Trophies. The DS game, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, will have it's cutscenes remastered in HD and available in a theater mode. However, the actual game will not be included.

I'd rather have Kingdom Hearts II than Chain of Memories but I guess they're saving that for a second collection. Also, we never got the Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts I or II in the west so I hope SE releases this here. Or else

Wow, square is starting to look like Valve, they are terrified of the number 3.

And speaking of Valve, after 9 years of development, the remake of half life, black mesa, is avaliable for download at no charge. You gonna need steam to play it tough. But sadly, the final chapter of the original game is missing, and the developers said it will be released only next year, along with an multiplayer mode.

Take a look at the glorious intro:

Nice. XD

I learnt an important lesson this week - BACK UP YOUR GAME SAVES!

Last Monday, I paid a high price - I lost my Lv69 Siren. The game had suddenly slowed down and I decided to save and quit before it crashed. Unfortunately, it crashed RIGHT in the middle of the saving process so I ended up with a corrupt save. I assumed that Steam Cloud would still have my intact save, but unfortunately it managed to upload my corrupt save!

Luckily, I still had a Lv52 Siren save on my Xbox, so I transferred that over to my PC and converted it to the PC version. It works great, and I've now backed up my saves in a different folder. I'm going to do that every time I play a game like Borderlands.

Tomorrow is Borderlands 2 launch day in Europe!

Daaaaamn. Level 52/69 ( ) already? I'm just a lvl 15 Commando after 3 days of playing. You play a lot.

Um, it's Borderlands 1. XD I'm not that fast, plus Borderlands 2 has a level cap of 50 atm, lol.

I've got the game now, but I haven't even fired it up because I'm waiting for a few friends to grab it as well so we can experience the whole thing in co-op. I do have a Marcus bobblehead literally nodding away next to my monitor as I type, though!

How is the game for you so far? (no spoilers please)

[shadow_Uzumaki]

I love BD2. Handsome Jack is funny....until about midway, then you just want to rip his smug masked face off.
