Hi gals (and guys) I have a quick question that I hope someone here can help me with.

My old 60 gig PS3 crapped out on me so I got A new one a couple of days ago. I hadn't tried downloading anything because I was wait for a friend to install an extra 320gb harddrive for me. Anywho he installed it tonight and I went to download some Video from the Playstation store and it's saying that I have to deactivate my account on my old PS3 before I can activate/download stuff on the new one.

Except my Old PS3 is Dead and gone, no way to get onto it to deactivate it.

So my question is how would I go about Deactivating it. Do I just contact PlayStation or is there another way around this?

Thank you in Advance guys!

So I've been away at college for quite some time and whenever I come home my room is usually occupied by my brother (ever since my grandma moved in he had to give up his room) and so all my stuff is boxed. Well I came home this summer and started thinking about all the games I miss playing.. Well I went on an adventure and started digging around.

I found a few of my FAVORITE games and am hoping to find more in a box tomorrow that's on my closet. So far I have found..

Pokemon Pinball
Pokemon Red (My old one from when I was like.. 11.. whoa 1998. Has old data but can never evolve my Graveler.. no one to trade with D: )
Pokemon Yellow
Pokemon Gold & Silver
Mario Tennis
an old purple Gameboy Color
Pokemon Pikachu2
Pokemon Trading Card Game

I have been playing these games all day.. ESPECIALLY POKEMON PINBALL OMG.



So yeah. WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND DIGGING AROUND RANDOMLY? And if not.. GO DIG AROUND OLD STUFF.

So, Xbox live problems...

I have a wireless network in my apartment that is secured with a password. However, whenever I search for networks on the Xbox it picks up everything BUT my network. I've tried manually putting in the info I think it requires but that hasn't worked. And to boot I set up this network years ago and (stupidly) forgot the username and password to my router's online account (where it has all the little information).

I've tried talking to Xbox support and they've been thoroughly useless, telling me to do things I've already tried.

Any ideas how to make my wireless work? :\

So, my fellow girl-gamers, I think we all have certain games that we all cherish, no matter how much time passes by. For me, one of those games is Lucasart's Monkey Island series. Filled with great puzzles and funny jokes, it's one of those series I could play over and over again.

So, imagine my wonderful surprise when I discovered this:

EEEEEEEEEEEK! Awesome awesome awesome! I thought I would never see another MI game again, but I'm glad I was wrong! I also had heard NOTHING about this game--I only discovered it because my housemate ran across an internet ad for it. Loving this series as much as I do, I decided to pass it along to any MI-fans in here :-)

I love my Nintendo DS and am happy with it... however, there is that little voice inside me saying  "OMFG!!!  GET THE DSi ALREADY!!!"  I call that my inner gamer  :-)

What I want to know is for the money, is a DSi really worth it?   I know all the feature differences and yes, it does look pretty damn nice compared to the original DS.  I'm just wondering if the new features really make gameplay that much nicer?  I'd have to sell my old DS and then save up until I can afford the DSi.  

I do love the camera idea, but I've heard people say the camera quality sucked.  

Anyone who has a DSi or anyone who has used one, can you give me a quick review of it?   Also, whats your favorite DS/DSi game?

I'd say mine is Mario Party 3, in mini game mode.  It helps me kill time at work but since its just mini games you arent getting into a storyline or anything.  Just having fun  :-)

Yay the magical 360 has arrived! I have some questions.

My boyfriend and I are sharing the 360 so we'd want to play in the same place, same time but also online with some long distance friends.
Even though we use the same console, do we each have to pay for separate LIVE accounts associated with our gamertags? (ugh, I'm used to sharing things like internet price so this surprised me)

I vaguely remember reading that Ghostbusters allows you to play online but not with someone next to you on the 360 version? But you can on the Wii version, is that right? (happy to get it for Wii although I'm impatient and kinda want to get it NOW! suddenly I understand timed exclusives :P)

Since we're in the same room, the headsets seem like a bulky way to go about voice chat/teamspeak..... is there a way to hook up just a mic and speakers?

Since the mic in Rock Band has no buttons, would it be compatible from PS2 to 360? I thought I heard all USB mics would work, but not absolutely sure...

I heard there are some alternate drum sets (more heavy duty, option to be used as electronic drums outside the game) - anyone tried these? which are compatible? recommendations?

If I get a LIVE account for a few months then stop payment on it, then pick it up later will my data be saved in between or will I have to start over again? If it saves it, is there a time limit for how long it saves?

Thanks ladies!

I recently purchased A Xbox 360 pro.
( need some advice from fellow Xboxers )

Last year when they announced the Sims being made into a movie I was a little weirded out by the concept. I still think it sounds stupid, but I'm willing to forget about it completely now that Universal has bought the rights to make an Asteroids movie. And that really makes my head hurt, because where was the plot to the game? Even wiki can't attempt to give you a plot for the game. And come on, Pac Man and Joust are really pushing it too.

So my question is this: are there any games that you've played in the past that you would sit back and wonder how they'd attempt to make a storyline out of them? Or, for that matter, any game that you absolutely want them to stay away from?

Personally, I want them staying far away from Zelda and I'd really rather not know how they'd adapt something like Katamari or Q*Bert.

I just got a Wii as a gift for my birthday from a friend. This is practically my husband and mine's only nextgen console other than a PSP and I was wondering what recommendations for games you gals and guys may have for me. I have Wii Sports and enjoy that so far. I have played Wii Fit and wasn't impressed. Other than that my interest in game play varies a lot from action to rpg etc... Anyways, any suggestions you may have would be appreciated :D

I'm trying to remember if I ever beat Super Mario World: Six Golden Coins. It was a loooooooong time ago.

I fired it up and it looked like I'd gotten to the end of each zone, but I didn't see any coins in Wario's door. Does it save the coins in the door? Or, more likely, did my little kid self just never complete each world?

Thanks!

So, I saw an earlier post wherein someone was selling their PSP, but alas, only to those in the UK, if I recall. So, just a quick question: know any good places to get a somewhat cheap PSP? I ask, only because I really want to play Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines when it comes out. My previous PSP has either gone missing or has been taken by a sibling. Any tips or help would be appreciated.

Hey folks,

I recently got myself a playstation 3. It is not a ps3 that is backwards compatible, but a friend of mine offhandedly mentioned that you can go online to install a necessary emulator to play PS2 games.

Was he just making crap up, or is this possible? I checked online and couldn't really find any information.

I do have a PS2, but my boyfriend is constantly raging about how the PS3 would "upconvert" PS2 games, so I figure I'd see if anyone here had any info :) Thanks!

My boyfriend's friend just bought one of the fancy 360s and has been ridiculously nice enough to send us his old one =O I've spent the lifespan of the xbox and 360 ignoring what they had to offer since I couldn't afford it anyway so why tempt myself? Once in a while a game would stand out to me but other than that, I'm in need of some recommendations!

Also we have Rock Band for PS2 and ideally would like to play online on the 360... I read that the instruments aren't compatible from system to system though.... yes/no?? But aren't they both USB?

So recommendations:
-Any xbox games that are compatible with 360 are good too

-Nothing that requires HD. We have an old clunky TV ^_~

-NO shooters unless the story is absolutely phenomenal and the gameplay requires little ability to aim or has easy/immortal mode, NO to sandbox games and sims

-YES to adventure games... I love Dreamfall, the Zelda series, Okami, Eternal Darkness

-Yes to RPGs with good stories that aren't more complicated than they're worth in gameplay ;p I'm not a strategy fan and sometimes Final Fantasy games drive me up the wall sometimes ^_~

-Multiplayer games?

Hey girls (and guys, and other assorted genders)!

I'm leaving on a trip in a week, and I'm taking my DS with me. I've got The World Ends With You (which I need to finish), and I'm probably going to take Pokemon Platinum with me, too.

I need suggestions of games to grab for my DS. I like creature-raising games, and RPGs, though with the latter... I really, really suck at them. I also like the Ace Attorney series of games, but they make my head hurt.

Stylus-based games are all right (like TWEWY), but the problem is that I have pretty poor fine motor control, which made playing Trauma Center a living hell for me. I enjoyed the Megaman Battle Network series, but haven't really followed it to the DS so much.

Any suggestions?

With the AI being as stupid as it is, something tells me that Professional must be done on co-op, because it takes FOREVER for the AI to register that, yes, I'm dying because it didn't cover my back.

How do you pronunce that? Three hundred sixty? Three sixty? Thirty-six oh? Thirty-six zero? Three six oh? My native intuition tells me "three sixty." Assuming I'm correct, how would explain to a foreign gamer learning Engish why it's not pronounced "three hundred sixty?"

By the way, Japanese call the N64 roku-yon, "roku" means 6 and "yon" means 4. 

So. I was really really excited for this game to come out. I've been waiting for months for this game with this giddy childlike anticipation. So lets get right into the meat of things shall we?
( Cut in case there are spoilers... )
Who ya gonna call?

My boyfriend and I are going to purchase Dynasty Warriors 6 soon and he's suggested I find out about the stories behind it before playing. I've been googling and not quite finding what I'm after. He's Chinese so he knows the background for the characters and stuff and as I know next to nothing about Chinese history and whatnot I feel a little left out.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
