I get streetpasses when I go to the mall, that's about it though.

It's based on the Region Settings in the Profile section of the 3DS Settings Menu, that location gets attached to your Mii when it's sent out.

I think Bioshock Infinite is still up, as well. Have to say that PS+ seems to be on the ball a bit more as far as more recent, well-received titles go than Xbox's Games With Gold has been.

Dunno, but for $30, I have BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, DMC3, and a whole bunch of other titles for a year. Pretty solid.

Brothers seems meh to me so far. It's just a puzzle game with an annoying control scheme... is that all? I mean, it's a beautiful game, but having to control both brothers independently is just hurting my brain.

[EDIT]

And that's only from December to mid Jan. We still have another 11 months of games (though of course the length I have later titles is reduced).

Still, ending up with Bioshock Infinite was a nice surprise.

That's actually awesome for me, because I've never played any of them...

PlayStation is having another flash sale this weekend. Does not require PlayStation Plus. North America only. Sale ends Monday, February 17. Lego Marvel Super Heroes PS4/Vita for me!

Some decent prices on some Playstation titles starting tomorrow.

A Wolf Among Us for $8.99 (PS+) seems like a pretty awesome deal. The first two episodes have been great.

Diablo III for $35.99 (PS+) is pretty decent, too. The console version is really well done. They did an excellent job implementing the controller, and the itemization is much improved over the ******** that was D3 for PC at launch. Also, there's couch co-op.

The story is pretty bad.

Well, the story would be alright if the dialogue weren't so terrible. Probably the best story elements are the follower's dialogue options, and in the banter that goes on while running around playing. The actual main story is suuuuuuper hamfisted.

There are other things I greatly dislike. When coming up to a boss fight, there's a (skippable) cutscene before you fight. These encounters would be much better if there were no cutscene, if you just entered the room and the boss attacked you. You already know you're entering a boss's chambers; there's no need for the cutscene to break things up.

I doubt they're going to fix the story that is already there. I'm very interested to see what they do with Reaper of Souls, as far as story delivery goes.

I guess I'm not making much of an argument to actually buy the game, but I've had a heck of a lot of fun in it, especially with couch co-op as an option.

It didnt take them to long but Xbox One is down 100 bucks to 399.

Not really for me. I personally dont see that big of a differance in graphics or gameplay or even titles to get me off the 360/PS3. Its not like the jump from Xbox to the 360, that was a lot more of a major jump all around and made it worth it. I will probably wait till it drops another 100 or so to buy it.

Yup I just got MLB14 The Show for PS3
