It's so simple both the system and the games. There's something appealing about that.

This is just the very first model of the AVCS that's worth that much. I got a six switcher once with ten games, all the controllers, and a nice wood grain case for $50 at a convention once. It was in mint condition too.

Yea, I get that the Origins one is the most direct and clear in it's message. It grabs your eye a little better than the others. I mean, Batman is staring at you like he wants to slap some explosive gel on you!

But I agree that Asylum is best if you get rid of all that nonsense at the bottom that takes up almost 1/3 of the image.

It was your posting of the comparison pic that pushed me to get one. 

I opening the box but didn't set it up yet. I have until February to use my PSPlus code but I'll probably set it up real soon. I got so much good gaming going on right now. I'm up to my eyeballs. 

      Hey, go retro. I wanna hear about old games too. New games can be a drag sometimes when they are obvious cash-ins or rip-offs of styles already explored. I'm not much into the new systems Xbone, PS4 right now either, but I can't wait to play Pikmin on Wii-U and Dragon's Crown on PSV. Something will come along eventually in the next gen to get excited about.

    Or go Indie. So many interesting, creative things are being done there right now. Also, how can you quit now just before GTAV comes out? It's going to be epic and I'm not even a fan of GTA games!

Yea, I looked up Disgaea for Vita the other day. It came out April of 2012 and it's still $40 new and $35 used. What gives?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! How about Monkey from Enslaved: Odyssey to the West with Andy Serkis' voice of course.

Here's your gift.

Actually, I'm kinda obsessed with Valkyria Chronicles II on PSP right now, so my new Vita is going to sit until I'm done with it.

Unfortunely, most of the Gamestops in my area have gotten rid of their PSP games. So my only option is online purchases and one retro game store. I think I have a lot of the games I want to play on the PSP right now though.

Yea, I'm so tapped out with getting a VIta and now having to pick up the Zelda Wii-U in a week. Tapped out until the end of the year, now that I calculate on it.

    I haven't noticed any departures in the comics from the Halo story as told in the games. They seem to be very careful about not changing anything.

     I did have an issue in the Karen Traviss novels when they arrested Halsey and treated her like a criminal. I didn't get the sense that she was so evil or solely to blame for the Spartan II program from the earlier novels, or even in Halo Reach where she makes a brief appearance. I think 343 Industries and Mrs. Traviss did a bit of revisionist history in order to take some moral high ground on how it's bad to abduct children for your army (maybe to clean up the story for mainstream appeal). I think something like that had to have been supported by more than one person in the UNSC. Halsey being a villan just rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, she's not like that in Eric Nylund's Fall of Reach book. She's actually quite likable and has a conscience about what she and the UNSC are doing to create Spartan warriors.
