I've been playing GTA V quite a bit since the baby got here - really enjoyable game and the best one of the franchise so far, imo

It is only $12 on Steam!

You can also get the Ultimate Edition of New Vegas for the same price ($12).

I should have specified for the 360. I'm a console gamer.

I got 3 over New Vegas based on recommendation. I was thinking about getting FIFA since it's on sale but changed my mind.

Have to say I have been enjoying the Xbox ONe more the PS4. Voice commands work really well. Both machines are amazing though.

Both are very good. I like some elements of New Vegas better.

How does Microsoft get away with this ****ty customer service:

According to The News Reports, they received a report from a customer who purchased the Xbox One and had to return it – that's because it turned out to be a faulty unit and they were instructed to return the unit to Microsoft... for a price.

Technically, they were given options: pay more to get your Xbox One replaced quickly or pay nothing and wait up to 14 days. As noted in the article...
“They were told that they could pay Microsoft £381 (US$621) and receive a new Xbox One within 2 days, with the fee paid being refunded if Microsoft receives the defective unit back within 14 days. The other option was to wait for a free shipping box to arrive, send the console back and wait for it to be repaired and returned, which would take a minimum of 14 days. “

Yep, $621... that's a lot of money to pay in addition to the $500 you already spent to get the console.

Technically, the money you put down for the two-day turnaround is more like a deposit than an actual fee, but it's steep and unwelcoming nonetheless – unless, of course, you have extra income to burn like that?


So you spend $500 for a product that doesn't work and Microsoft takes two weeks to replace it for free?

Thats so wrong. My buddy had his replaced. They dont charge your card for the amount, They just put a hold on your card until they get the replacement back. They dont ever actually charge your card unless you dont ship it back. I think its great they are basically loaning you a box to play while yours get fixed. How cool is that? And they couldnt just let people borrow extra boxes with covering themselves. My buddy is playing on his replacement box right now, while his gets fixed. His card hasnt been charged.

Hooked on Tiger Woods PGA 2014 for PS3. Played it a total of 18 hours the last 2 days.

My video game life has been Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Skyrim.

I don't like Fallout as much as Skyrim. But both are fantastic games. Just that Skyrim is probably one of my 10 favorite games of all time.

RBI Baseball owns all.

Little league baseball on the NES, was my favorite baseball game.

Thinking about picking up a Wii U soon. Lots of interesting games coming up. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Hyrule Warriors, all supposed to come out this year.

3D World is a great game.

Amazon has a good trade in deal. If you trade in $20 worth of games you get an extra $20 in PS3 downloads. Their trade ins can be hit or miss but I found a couple of good trade in offers.

Any suggestions for a 360 game to tide me over until I decide which Next Gen I want to go with? I don't want to abandon XBox but Sony is pretty convincing. I just hate the controller. But anyway, I've basically beaten Skyrim about as badly as possible (sitting at level 60 right now, beat main arc, storm cloaks control skyrim, I'm head of every guild possible, I'm Thane of every hold except Falkreath which I didn't get to until I was liberating it so I can't help enough citizens) and basically now there are a few small side quests I can do (I need 2 more Daedric Artifacts to get the Oblivion Walker achievement) so my time with the game is running pretty thin. Only area I kinda glossed over is Blackreach which I guess I can do again. Anyway I'm close to done skyrim.

I'm trying to convince myself to buy FIFA 14 before it's too late, but I really just can't bring myself to spending 40 bucks on a game that's been out forever. Should have bought it back around Christmas but the reviews scared me off.

All suggestions will be considered. I'm thinking maybe BIoshock INfinite. But give me tips.

Also I no longer have XBL, so online play isn't big for me.
