@Oz-Metalhead – I don't understand then why when I check my trophies on the sony website it tells me that I earned like 8 of them at the exact same time and day, when in reality its not what I did, and is pretty damn impossible.  I checked the website to confirm and list an example, but its currently malfunctioning and keeps telling me my session has timed out (its been doing this for over a week now).  I'm pretty sure Burnout Paradise is where I first noticed this, because I earned most of the trophies while playing offline.  Anyways, the point is, I was under the impression that this was an indication that the time for earning a trophy was actually whenever you sync them, not when you earn them.  I'm not trying to argue what you said, but rather just reach an understanding of which is correct, and how to know that is the case.

BigWoop – that link looks pretty risky.. don't know if i would try that.. But it does sound like it would work. 

I've read a few responses from people who have done this and made it work… however, before you ever do such a thing, make sure you know the entirety of what is involved in the process.  Having some knowledge in basic electronics is almost necessary.  Make sure you ground yourself before touching any components (or you'll short them!), and have an extremely clean work environment.  In no way do I actually recommend doing this over sending it in for repairs, but if you absolutely cannot afford a professional repair, it is an alternative solution that you take at your own risk.  That said, I'd do it, but I've taken a few electronics courses through college and played with enough computer hardware to know I'm not going to damage things any further.

yup, looks like it'll be between $0.49-$0.99 each.  I really don't understand why you would want to pay for one of these.  I mean, yea 50 cents is like nothing,,, but thats laundry money dammit.  Or a game of pool!

killzone is garbage compared to cod. id even say that halo is better than killzone. i have nothing more to say

halo? That game where you can press the jump button, and never return to the ground? The game that has lame guns, uninspired level design, boring graphics, and bland online? The game with a fan base that can not seem to justify why they enjoy Halo so much? Better than Killzone 2? Probably not.. but CoD is probably better.

I almost agree with him (xxTatooxx).  Halo is definitely very arcady, and I can't take it seriously, and I never played it online.  But, halo had a fun campaign,, some alien weapons that actually seemed alien, and wasn't terrible looking when it was originally released.  By current standards, yea its totally played out and doesn't look good anymore, but I still had way more fun playing those campaigns than KZ2.  Besides KZ2's horrid controls, I just couldn't understand why the humanoid aliens we're fighting speak english, have weapons nearly identical to Earth's, and why the hell we were fighting them in the first place.  The only good thing was the incredible graphics, but no matter how good they are, it just isn't fun.

Uncharted 2 needs DLC first before they made the GotY edition. Look at Fallout 3 and LBP. They had tons of DLC and were included in the GotY.

it does have DLC.  You just might not have noticed since its FREE!!!  what an epic concept.  Anyway – another great SP game you might want to try is Infamous.  Resident Evil 5 is basically single player, and you'll want a partner for the hard modes, but not having the internet isn't really a big deal if you have friends that can come over.  Borderlands is good for sp the first run through, but honestly that game really shines when you do co op.  It does have split screen co op, but the menu system is really goofy on split screen, its probably the main draw back for this game.  Batman AA has a great sp, and you might want to consider a fighting game, like soul cal 4, tekken 6, or the new street fighter.  I think they all have online competitive modes, but even without it, you can't go wrong with a good fighting game for local play.  I think if you are going for solely SP experience, you'll want to check out some of the great games that have been out for a while, because you wont have to pay full price.  This is why MGS4 is a great idea, as well as dead space, heavenly sword, and probably a few others that I can't think of at the moment.

which by the way – if you haven't bought it yet, I would continue to wait.  Currently there is very little in the way of media that supports the Eye, I think theres 3 PSN games, The Eye of Judgement, and now Eyepet, and thats it.  However when the PS3 wand is released, there will be lots more media that uses it, and the wand requires the Eye.  As a result, I would expect some sort of camera/controller bundle to be released, and it might save you money to wait for that.  At least, thats what I'm banking on, cause I'd be really surprised if they didn't bundle those, especially with a game.

yea sounds like its time for a new game dude.  I think Borderlands is a great fps, and refreshing because its a completely different style of fps.  I keep touting this everywhere, I know, but,,, just saying.  I know you've played it though miiiitch, just haven't seen you on it for a while. 

not sure if I actually need to comment on this…. but….

yes! from like day 1, after I beat the campaign in under 5 hours!  After that I was like, well, I've seen this before, and already sunk like 200 hours of my life into cod4.  I tried, I really tried to get into it. nope, its just not that exciting anymore.  glad someone finally agrees.
