$25 for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I'm calling it.
I'd go lower, $19.99.

You're probably right. The price for Origins went on a plunging nosedive.

I'd wait. I bought it on Vita and while I don't regret my purchase, there doesn't seem to be as much meat in Legends as Origins. You really have to be into the Daily/Weekly Challenges for there to be a bunch of content.

Yeah. I ended up buying Origins (360) at launch, only to watch the price fall through the floor within a few months. I do like having the + freebie on my Vita. :) I'll probably grab Legends sub $20.

Tooooo many games, obviously. The logical thing to do would be to sell my whole collection and go straight pinball and arcade. Pssshhh! Like that's ever going to happen.

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon on the U?

It is the "year of Luigi," still, I'm not sure. Thoughts?

If that is the case, call me excited. I don't have a 3DS and I really really want to play Dark Moon, considering I recently beat the first Luigi's Mansion on the Gamecube and enjoyed it.

Now they just need to give me a new animal crossing...make it happen...and make it cross platform with the 3DS dag nabbit!

If any one remembers a page or two back, I was talking about using flash memory instead of a HDD on the U, some one showed me this page...



Makes perfect sense to me. I've already made up my mind, if/when I need more storage space I'm gonna use a top notch SD card with a USB adapter. People use SD cards in DSLR cameras that have to write large pictures and HD video on the fly, I'm sure they're more than good enough for the U.

That'd definitely be a bit more convenient than having another external around or something.

I completed New Super Mario Bros. U (beat every level with all three star coins) and started up New Super Luigi Bros. U. I knew what the deal was with Super Luigi. Slippery fucker, can jump higher/further, short time limit on levels, overall harder difficulty. I didn't think it would be much fun, but I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit.

Maybe I should get a 128GB USB stick. Unless I can find a fast enough SD card. My 64GB USB stick is as fast as a low end SATA SSD. Well, almost. It's a SanDisk Extreme. Haven't found SD cards that are that fast.
