Honestly, at $200 for the Zelda bundle (some offering at $20 gift card with it) I can't see how it's too expensive, or how they are charging more for 3D that you will never use. I just picked one up on black friday, and while the 3D is not the best thing ever, it looks okay when used on a lower setting, or you know,…

You know, that actually makes sense. You could argue that they should have waited until the DS was really slowing down before introducing the 3DS, but this way, you get the new hardware into the market, get its feet wet, and establish itself with a solid library of games.

How far have you progressed in a game that is not even released yet? I understand that you get a taste of it in the beta, but save that judgement until you make your way into the game a bit, and not just the short amount of time you get to play in a weekend. Of course it will be a bit linear in the beginning.

The same could be said about SWTOR. If you wanted to do all the side missions, go for it. Grind by killing monsters? Be my guest.

There was an article posted earlier in the week about a map from GameBanshee for Skyrim. I tried using Gimp to piece together the 9 pdf layers into one, complete image, and no matter what, it always came out looking a bit more pixelated (even before exporting it).

Beat me to it. I've got a few enchanted armor pieces, one being bracers with 22% increase to smithing as well as a +30% smithing potion.

Well that throws a wrench in my theory. I have three roommates, and of the three, I am the only one regularly online even though the four of us are often all playing Skyrim. Between moving TV's around and running ethernet cables, only one of the other guys is online, usually to play Halo, and occasionally chat with…

Ah, excuse me then. I stand corrected.

I imagine the number of people playing Skyrim with their XBox's not connected at all is much larger than those playing Call of Duty. Still probably wouldn't take it down, just something to take into account.

There is a random item that my brother found in the game while just, well, adventuring, scouring random dungeons, called "Finn's Loot." It is a quest item so he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to, but has no idea what to do with it.

There is a quest item in the game called "Finn's Loot."

Agreed. They are going for the younger market obviously, with Beiber and the 3DS (although I just picked one up myself), and the 41 year old Mariah Carey is trying to sell sex... a bit clashing, but the Nintendo part is just advertising and probably had nothing to do with any of the video, music, or singers…

He just walked off with your school clothes money.

They usually have you take you're laptop computer out of the bag and into it's own basket/bucket/whatever you want to call it, when going through security. Shouldn't be much different with a PS3.

I picked up the Zelda Bundle on Black Friday, and Mario Kart 7 is the next game I plan on getting, followed by Super Mario 3D Land.

I picked up the Limited Edition Zelda bundle on friday, and let me tell you, it is sooooo sexy.

Between myself and my two brothers (they didn't accept the invite but still wanted to play, go figure), I have a 13 Jedi Sentinel and a 6 Imperial Agent. They have a 7 Bounty Hunter and a 6 Sith Inquisitor.

Man, if they had Duke on console for that price I would have got it. Picked up Metroid: Other M for $5 at Best Buy.

Also, do you know if the Four Swords adventure is still free to download? If so, for how long, and is it the Link to the Past: Four Swords Adventure?

The problem is that I wouldn't be able to pick up many games until well into next year. I could get it and play the hell out of Zelda (or just stick with Skyward Sword for now!) or wait until I have enough money for a Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart as well.
