If you’ve been holding out for a price cut on the PS3, today is your chance to take advantage of Amazon’s PS3 deal. $350 nets you an 80GB system with a DualShock controller. Sorry, no motion control here, folks.
Games? You’ll need to get those on your own, but considering the deals Amazon has on its Marketplace, it shouldn’t be too hard to pick up a couple of classic titles on the cheap.

Big in Japan. That’s what the press should be calling the Playstation 3. Seems for the month of March, Nintendo’s fantasy box of magic couldn’t fend off the brute,building strength of Sony’s Playstation 3. According to Reuters, “domestic sales of the PS3 came to 146,948 units in the five weeks through March 29, compared with 99,335 units of the Wii and 43,172 units of Microsoft Corp’s Xbox 360.”
So this isn’t even a war of the hundreds or thousands at this point. The PS3 beat out the Wii by almost a third. With games like Killzone 2 and Prototype, perhaps gamers are starting to pick better games over gimmicky control schemes. Just sayin’!
Playstation 3 owners, your time has come.
After waiting over 4 years for this amazing technical feat of a game, you can finally walk into a store and purchase Killzone 2. Of course, if you didn’t pre-order at Gamestop, you might as well run to a Target or Toys R Us for a copy. We’ll be picking up our copy this weekend and I’m personally psyched to try out the multiplayer.
Anyway, this has been a public service announcement. As you were.
So last night, I stumbled home somewhat drunk and full of Mexican food. I plopped down on the couch and started smoking a cigarette. I decided to cure my temporary boredom, I’d spend the $5 on Noby Noby Boy for the PS3. I downloaded it and 20 minutes later, fired the game up.
30 minutes later all I could say was “What the fuck?” This is not a game. This is a program that was nearly impossible to describe and was clearly designed while under the influence of narcotics. You take this creature that looks like a multi-colored penis with legs and wrap it around shit. You can eat stuff and poop it out. That’s about all I could figure out after 30 minutes of gameplay. I managed to get to the second level (I think) and eventually shut the game off and went to bed.
Is Noby Noby Boy worth the $5? I hate to say it, but if you’re not drunk or fucked up on drugs, I doubt it. The game makes little to no sense but for some reason, it’s surprisingly playable. I suggest splitting the $5 with a friend and giving it a whirl.
Anyone with a Playstation 3 cannot deny the appeal of the LittleBigPlanet Sackboy. He jumps, he runs, he grabs and dresses in drag. Of course, some of us would like to bring our Sackboy outside of the game and into our lives. While some have accomplished just that, no one beats designer Maggie Wang’s creations. Her Sackboys not only look amazing, but the costumes she makes for them are incredibly detailed.
Take for instance, this Prince of Persia outfit she designed. From the hair down to the cape and right over to the sheathed sword, this is truly a work of art. Jealous? We are. Check out more of Maggie’s creations on her website.
Winners of our contest are probably gearing up right now to download the Killzone 2 demo. They got the codes, I have a code and it just finished installing on my PS3. I am beyond psyched to play it and will report back tomorrow with first impressions.
But until then. The links must go on.
Let’s cut right to the chase: time is running out on our contest for a Killzone 2 beta invite. We have two we’re giving away and suggest anyone with a Playstation 3 to get in on it. All you need to do is leave a comment letting us know why you love Killzone 2 and your PSN gamertag, along with a valid email address.
Our contest is heating up! Looks like you guys really want to get in on the Killzone 2 action before everyone else. I applaud you for that. Here are some choice comments left by our dear readers so far:
“I have a stupid name. You must see it at the frontline when the hell starts. Dont mind about halo. I wont.”
“man,, i’ll suck your dick for a killzone 2 code”
“Killzone will own every single shoother thats now out. Grafics Top . Mp is just awsome .the new way to play Multiplayer. Blood, gore evrithing is better than those Halo puppies.”
You all never cease to amaze me. Now get your ass over to the official page and enter already. I want to form a team when this fucking demo comes out and you better believe Team Gearfuse will be in full effect.
Like the shitty iPhone 3G picture I took above? Just a taste of what our winners will receive.
See these? These are official Killzone 2 beta invite codes for the Playstation 3. So if you love first-person shooters and own a PS3, the game you’ve been waiting years to play is finally available to you, our loyal Gearfuse reader.
We have two invite codes to give away. All you need to do to get one is just leave a comment on this post describing your love for Killzone 2 and why you think it’s going to kick Halo 3 and other shooters right in the ass. Got it? Cool.
So leave a comment with the above info in mind between now and January 30th. We’ll pick two winners at random but you must comment with a valid email address, first name and valid Playstation Network gamertag. Why do we need this info? We want to make sure we’re giving these invites to true PS3 gamers who want to play Killzone 2 and not just scalp these on eBay.
Also to keep in mind: The beta does not begin until February 5th according to our source, so no need to worry. However, if Sony changes this date to an earlier time, we will post an update and give you 24 hours notice to enter. After that 24 hours, we’ll close the contest and give the invite codes out to ensure you can logon to the beta as soon as possible.
So what are you waiting for? This is fucking KZ2, baby. Leave your gamertag and we’ll be sure to add you to our friends list. Mine is “fusioned” in case you’re wanting to play some Resistance 2 in the meantime.
Any questions or comments can be directed to vince AT gearfuse DOT com. Good luck!
