^ You not playing your PS3/360 with HD cables?

L said:
Component cables are HD but the max they can go up to is 1080i. HDMI cables are full HD at 1080p. It doesn't matter for PS3/360 though because the majority of games are 720p.

Componant can certainly carry a 1080p signal.

　In time to buy Zelda at launch tomorrow!

　Also, I couldn't pass up Hey, You Pikachu and OgreBattle 64 brand new and sealed for a mere 50yen each.

Angus, wtf? 50 yen is around 40 pence according to google converter.

Surely the deals of the century right there.

It's always said that Zelda isn;t as popular in Japan but in the department store I went to it seemed to be selling out quickly. And I couldn't get the Special Edition as they were sold out on pre-orders alone.

Got to love these Amazon lightning deals. The Lion King sold out in a minute

If you didn't already hear the internet orgasm, Steam is having a huge autumn sale. Some deals will only last a day, others will last more ('till 28th it seems). Have fun.

Cureently looking at (maybe) getting:

Doom pack - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/426/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1 (handy seeing as Doom 3 source was released)

Sam & Max Complete - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7967/?snr=1_4_4__617

Here's a list of indie stuff sorted by price (lowest first) - http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Price&sort_order=ASC&category1=998&genre=Indie

Several shops said they wouldn't even stock the following game, where I live, because it's not localized in French :/. Way to screw things up Namco ! You're missing opportunities again.

So I hurried and picked the ONLY copy I could find in the ONLY shop I could find which had it in stock.

A couple more black friday deals:

13 quid in Black Friday sales. Always meant to get hold of it, at that price I couldn't say no.

Just brought the Grand Theft Auto Collection on Steam, every GTA game except the handheld and London versions for £4.99. http://store.steampowered.com/

Went to a sale at my local library, got some real bargains!

Show Spoiler

To be honest I didn't really want these for myself, but some fat git ahead of me got to the really good ones first, and I didn't want to leave empty handed. So I took this little lot up the road to CEX, traded them all in and got £50 for the lot!

Prof Layton 3 and KH 358/2 days for £1 each? Holy shit that is a right bargain there! Dementium for a quid is awesome too, but you made quite a bit of a profit, trading all these in.

Haha that is a bargain right there. I crossed Layton off my list for you, too! xD I'd probably have bought whatever I saw if they were like a quid each. £50 in the bag though, nice.

Hooray, just rebought:

Last copy in the shop, was 40 quid but knocked it down to a tenner with some tradeins. I have a feeling this one is gonna get really rare very quickly.

Boxart is different in the UK then ? Got mine for 43€ but just like you said, I sensed it was going to become rare very quickly, so I didn't hesitate.

Nah, exact same cover as the pic you posted, just couldn't find a decent image on google.

Finally bought it too now that it got re-listed on Amazon.de after it got taken off temporarily for a ridiculous reason. Third party sellers on Amazon sure were trying to take advantage of the situation by selling it for €50+ (plus shipping) Vs Amazon's €44 with free shipping.

I would have liked a small price drop but it seems like the opposite is happening, so it's better that I buy it now.

Does Tales of Abyss say anything about multiplayer on the back of the box because the PS2 version was 4 player co-op. If not then I'll have to find a way to get the PS2 version.=P

Picked up some steam stuff:

VVVVV
and
Project 8

No Multiplayer mode I'm afraid.
