    UK Supermarket Chain Claims One-Third of GTA V Spending

    My company's main distributor buys several tens of thousands of copies of major releases, and according to our rep, they are charged upwards of $45/copy. I am sure economy of scale plays a role, but considering the kind of discounts I've seen superstores in the US give new releases, it isn't...

    Sega Nearly Rejected Gunstar Heroes

    It's not a remake, but the original is emulated on the Sega Ultimate Genesis/MegaDrive Collection for 360/PS3. I bought the collection exclusively for Shining Force, but it also has Shining in the Darkness and Shining Force 2.

That would seem to me to actually amplify...

    Grand Theft Auto V Torture Scene Causes Uproar

    I just got through that part last night. I probably spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get out of it without actually torturing the guy before settling on just beating him with the wrench since that seemed like it would cause the least amount of permanent damage. The scene...

    Sony Sending Free PS4 Bundles to GameStop Managers

    As a manager of a store that is part of a regional chain in competition with GameStop, all I can say is "of fucking course." They'll give GS managers free consoles, but they won't even *sell* them to me until after Christmas.

    $250 Blue PS3 Arriving in America This October

    Or you could get the GTA 5 bundle for $270 that has 500GB of storage space, and also comes with GTA 5, and you also don't have to buy it from GameStop.

    Retro City Rampage 3DS Won't Feature 3D Graphics

    I thought Retro City Rampage was made by VBlank, not Vlambeer.
