Anybody aware of a European-based store that sells white DualShock 3 Controllers ?

The way the post gets at Christmas I don't feel too comfortable buying from Asia.

Been trading some extremely expensive cars in Gran Turismo 5 recently with a few members on GT Planet. Seeing as the servers have been swallowing some cars into the ether recently it's serious internet business to do this!

It takes 40 minutes to grind 1,000,000 credits and some cars are 5,000,000+ so these things can't be replaced too quickly if you get scammed or lose your car!

My last trade was giving away my 4,500,000 Formula Gran Turismo for a 5,800,000 Bentley Speed 8. :O You can gauge the sort of risk involved when you may lose your car to a stranger!

The game should have a secure middleman service for these trades rather than having to place actual trust in an individual.

Anyways...

Still waiting for Red Dead to turn up even though it should have been here yesterday.

^Red Dead turned up. \0/

Even though GT5 is getting lukewarm reviews and the single player events are lacklustre, I would still implore all motor fans to buy it regardless! once you make a bit of money you can forget all about the crap lack of events and get down to the real business of Gran Turismo! you in your tuned machine against the track and the clock.

I spent hours trying to get a time under 01:42 in Grand Valley today in my McLaren F1 and the time just sails by when you get stuck in! in the end I got 01:43 but I know I can go better than that! then I found the beast in the random second hand dealership... the Audi Quattro '82.

Seriously, don't believe the (lack of) hype.

Let my jaw-dropping screens show you the path to driving perfection!

I'd like to play GT5, but I can't put down the money for a racing wheel right now and I refuse to play with a standard controller. Maybe next month?

Picked up dead Space 2 today so I'm looking forward to getting through that.

Well I actually didn't pick it up as I'm not well, somebody else did!

Hopefully I'll be fit for playing early next week.

Has the PS4 been announced? a mate of mine dropped me a text about it being proposed but I cannot for the life of me find any truth to this.

A new PSP came out? I guess that's it then. He probably heard a bit on that then thought it was a PS4.

Cheers.

I finally got myself my own SNES, basically to play Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3. Then I bought both games including the original box and everything in a good shape although I'm not even able to play SD3 on my PAL console.
Next month a new german retranslation of Seiken Densetsu 3 will be released in the final version and then I'll mod an Illusion of Time cartridge into a german PAL Secret of Mana 2.
Weird how I simply can't let go of these two games

SD3 is so much better than Secret of Mana. People complain about which JRPGs get localizations today, but it was so much worse in the 90s.
