REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

PS Vita 3G Model Slashed To $199 In Select Sony Stores

Posted on Tuesday, March 12 @ 08:18:06 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
If you're in the market for a Vita, but can't justifying spending over $200 for a handheld, I've got good news for you, as the 3G model has been discounted in Sony stores all across the United States.

Instead of paying the $299, you'll be able to pick up one of these bad boys for just $199. When Joystiq discovered the deal, they proceeded to call every Sony store location to confirm the price slash. The responses varied by store, though, a number of stores suggested that the price drop is permanent, as Sony likely plans to discontinue this model.

The image below was taken from a Century City store in Los Angeles.


Here's the full list of stores:

California
  • Costa Mesa, South Coast Plaza (YES)
  • Glendale, The Americana at Brand (YES)

    Must be wonderful to have a price drop, but I don't even live close to these locations. Why don't they slash the price everywhere.

    I smell a test, if they sell well in the Sony stores it may become a permanent. There is a Sony store 20 miles from me, but I only went in there once and realized I can buy their stuff much cheaper on Amazon.

    I bought a PSP and almost never used it. IDK if I wanna fork over more money on another hand held system. I like the price drop...it makes me wanna get one. But I don't see myself using it as much. I'll most likley wait for the PS4 to come out and see how I can use the VITA with it.
