PS3 owners have something to live for....finally.

Third time's a charm, right guys?

Well, the new Ratchet and Clank demo just got dated. This comes via IGN UK. So let's hope this applies to US, as well. The date is set at October 4th. I don't know about you, but it's already making me feel better about dropping the cash on a ps3.

So mark the day on your calendar, kids. This one looks gorgeous, and if history dictates quality, this will be one of the best games on the PS3 this year. (Let's not forget that Insomniac is the only company that offered anything worth playing at PS3 launch.)

P.S.
Snail is one of the only people to be nice to me so far. :P
As a result, and it may be a bit early for me to say this being such a newb, Jack of No Trades can go to hell.

Despite community temper tantrums, Guitar Hero DLC sells......a lot.

Remember when the first Guitar Hero II DLC packs hit Live? The backlash was ridiculous. The calculation of re-buying the entire Guitar Hero track list at the prices being asked for three songs at a time, would have resulted in several times over the cost of the original game. The prices just didn't add up.

Well, with so many protesting the costs, one would think that they'd put a dent in sales by not buying, right? Apparently not.

So either everyone eventually sucked it up and shelled out the cash, or those unsatisfied with the price were surprisingly in the minority despite being the vocal majority.

Personally, I only bought the pack that had the most songs I liked. I think that's fair enough considering the work that went in to creating packs for Guitar Hero II. If they release more DLC that doesn't suck (like something that isn't for emofag My Chemical Romance fans) I'll probably buy that, too. But only because I'm a slave to the goodness that is Guitar Hero.

I spend a lot of time wondering why I'm still a gamer. Then I play games like Bioshock and remember that all hope is not lost.

I'm colorblind, and it sucks. Especially on some Lumines stages, and in Puzzle Fighter games.
