Can anyone tell me how open world Dragon Age Inquisition is? Are we talking Skyrim open or is it open but with pre-defined paths? Thinking of getting it but I do not want it if it is not wide open this time.

The 360 is where it's at for cheap new games. If you are interested in some of the games offered, research a bit to see if DLC was available for the game and see if a "complete edition" exist. Games with all the DLC can be had for less than $30.
Ohh for 30.00 I can get a ton of games. I probably start getting gears of war 1 and 2. I also downloaded games because I was a gold member but most of those games are all under 5.00 now. Rather get physical copies and keep my hard drive space. I have 150 gig, I only have 3 gigs left lol

Individual areas can be pretty vast, with the general ability to just go where you want (though you may run into things too strong for you to tackle yet). They're large enough that the game has a mount system, and fast travel between points of interest you've discovered on the map. Exploring them and establishing camps, claiming landmarks, and so on is part of the game.

However, it's not open world in the sense of most Bethesda games. Areas are unlocked via story/progression, and traveled to via the world map, not just by continuing in a particular direction long enough.

I feel the current avatar size is fine, but 6kb is too low. This restriction sounds its from the GeoCities days

This is interesting, since more PS4's sold than PS3s . We can expect many people selling ps3/games to get ps4, so ps3 should be cheaper. But it can also mean that ps3 owners value their games more than 360 owners who don't care any more.

It can also mean that just by the general nature of their physical media (BR v. DVD), PS3 games tend to run higher values than 360 games.

I was getting the ps4 version for my son and there were people trading their copies on the ps3/360 towards the ps4/Xbox one versions

Maybe late to the party but I don't see anyone talking about Amiibos currently. Anyone get any? I m not the biggest Nintendo person but I figured I'd try to get Amarth since I like Fire Emblem so figured I'd try to get Amarth, but apparently that's a harder one to find.

Related note: I went to Target to look for it and no Marth. A kid walks up and goes "Oh man Marth was just here a minute ago!". Now for some reason I'm obsessed with finding one knowing I came that close. I only really want it for the collectibility I don't even have a Wii U haha

Dunwall City Trials on Dishonored is driving me nuts. I'm so close on some of those trophies and I'm just barely missing them. Daredevil, I'm looking at you.
