Another new Nintendo DSI (Yes already.)

    Announced today in Japan we have the new version of the DSI (yes the one that just came out recently.) Dubbed the DSI LL it does everything the DSI does, except it is humongous. Just look at this picture that I'm stealing from IGN.  

 

    It will be released in Japan on November 21st, but will not make it's way here until the beginning of next year. Also it will be called the DSI XL in America, because you know, we are all fat. It is supposed to come in three colors, and it comes with the two stylus' as you can see in the picture. Price in Japan is ~$220 but no official price for us yet. So if you got really large hands, or are legally blind and have always wanted a DSI, your prayers will be answered next year.

Video game deals of the week 10/25-10/31

Monday Update

    I am not quite sure what happened, but it looks like the Amazon Wii deal did not actually happen. Also, if you are picking up Tekken 6 tomorrow I saw it in the Fry's ad for $47.99. Or you should still be able to order it from Amazon for $49.99 and use the code (5TEKKEN6) to get an additional $5 off.

Extra Monday Update

    Amazon is hooking it up even more. They are running a deal where if you buy $80 worth of games they will give you a $40 credit for future game purchases. Only certain games are eligible, but the list is like 600 games long so check it out.

    What up. Another week, another set of deals. There is one amazing deal this week, and then a bunch of other useless crap. 

Toy R Us

- Giving a $10 gift card with Tekken 6 (PS3/360)
- Also with World of Zoo (Wii/DS)

Amazon

- Is giving away a $20 credit with the preorder of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. (Only on the Regular/Hardened version. The Prestige edition comes with a $10 credit)
- An all Wii Gold box event is starting tonight at midnight (PST) (Can't find a link, should show up on the video games page. No idea what games are supposed to be included.)

Target

- Has Brutal Legend for $49.99 (PS3/360)
- Has NBA Live 2010 for $49.99 (PS3/360)
- Has Final Fantasy Dissidia for $29.99

Best Buy

- Now what you have all been waiting for... All PS3/360/Wii games ($59.99 and under) are buy 2 get 1 free this week. That's right. ALL. Any game, any new release tuesday. Everything. To sweeten the deal, if you do the deal online, they have a lot of games discounted more then the in store price. 360, PS3, and Wii discounted games.
- Also, all Blu-Rays (Excluding sale prices and new releases) are 30% off. 

    Best Buy is totally hooking it up this week. I have some plans on three games to pick up, but have to find some fundage to work this deal out. I have been pretty good not buying games lately which helps with everything else in life. (Including my out of control backlog.) Also I have not given any props to cheapassgamer in awhile. That is the site I am addicted to and where I pull most of these deals from. You know this week didn't actually turn out that bad. Here's hope for next week.

Microsoft can not make up their mind on HD Movies.

    Microsoft had their fun with the doomed format of HD-DVD. Not to blame them too much, it would be sort of stupid to use a product invented by one of your main competitors. So now they can not make up their minds on what to do about HD movies. Earlier today they announced that there would never be a 360 with Blu-Ray in it, but you will see Blu-Ray accessories. They then retracted that and said they meant that they will have HD movies on demand sometime this fall. Then they went even farther to say that they have no plans for Blu-Ray anything for the 360, and the comments were geared towards the PC Market. Whatever. I personally hate add-ons. When has there ever been a successful add-on? It's not like I'm renting movies off the 360 anyways... Original Article.

Halo 3 kills of the week.

    IGN has started a new feature (not sure how new it is honestly, just noticed it last week but thought it was a one time thing) of the top 10 kills for the week for Halo 3. When me and Robert play I usually scour through everyone's file share looking for funny pictures or videos. This saves me the trouble. I love Halo still so this video is awesome. Top video is week ending 10/21, bottom is week ending 10/14.

Awesome

    This has nothing to do with anything we stand for around here but I felt the need to post it.

Tmnt

    Nickalodeon has bought the right to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who really aren't teenagers anymore and are well into there forties. The price tag was 60 million that they paid to 4kids entertainment which seems like a pretty decent price. This is something small that came up on a slow news day but it is news.

DJ Hero Impressions

    I was at Best Buy this morning picking up my copy of Revenge of the Fallen (thanks Eric), and played a bit of the DJ Hero setup at the store.  I've been pretty excited for this game, primarily because of my affinity for other music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  But this time I was disappointed.  The songs themselves sounded great and I do believe the overall soundtrack is strong.  The turntable itself felt loose though.  The cross fader doesn't stick in the middle as well as I wanted, and the "record" used to scratch can be turned all the way around.  I assumed you would only be able to go up and down to a certain point, but I was wrong.  It makes the scratching aspect of the game feel too flimsy to be as accurate as needed.  I am pretty sure this is the final design of the peripheral, and as of now I'm disappointed.  Oh well.  When does Call of Duty come out?
