Playstation 3 40GB

Playstation 3 40GB

From Sony Computer Entertainment

Performance is the key with the Sony Playstation 3 video game system. Apart from the built-in BluRay disc player, there are numerous Sony exclusive features that help make the PS3 stand ahead of all other game systems.
The Cell Broadband Engine is the very thing that game developers have always dreamt about. Its unique multi-processing unit design represents a tour de force in parallel processing. The ability to do more of everything at the same time means more enemies, more AI, more explosions, and more realistic game play. Game play that takes into account ragdoll physics and keyframe animation, enemy AI behaving unpredictably, glass cracking based on the size of the object that impacted it, and individual flecks of dust in a beam of sunlight to create a more believable experience. The Cell Broadband Engine has the muscle and horsepower to move beyond artificial intelligence. This is the power that is the digital soul of PLAYSTATION3.
Enter the new SIXAXIS wireless controller. Utilizing sensors designed to read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts, or pulls, the SIXAXIS controller allows game play to become a natural extension of the player’s body. Bluetooth for wireless gameplay (the PLAYSTATION-3 system can support up to seven wireless controllers at one time)
With plenty of games to choose from, Sony PS3 is the game that makes most sense, especially as you move toward using widescreen HDTV models. HDMI connectivity helps make use of 1080p screens as does the, included, BluRay player. There’s even a 40GB storage hard-drive and Internet connectivity. The PS3 is far more than a game. It’s a lifestyle! High-Definition Multimedia Interface ( HDMI ) out for up to 1080p resolution Internet ready with built-in wireless network connectivity (Wi-Fi) Two USB ports Free access to the PLAYSTATION Network, including online gaming, the PLAYSTATION Store

Features

  • High-Definition Spider-Man 3 movie on Blu-ray Disc
  • Internal 40GB HDD for storing your games, music, and photos
  • Built-in Blu-ray player
  • Cell Broadband Engine advanced microprocessor
  • SIXAXIS wireless controller

As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the PlayStation 3 an even more versatile home entertainment machine. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a powerful gaming console.

Devil May Cry 4

Devil May Cry 4

From Capcom USA

Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled against the dark emperor and waged a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the “Order of the Sword,” and is made up of an elite group of “Holy Knights.” One day, a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda’s legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does thie encounter mean for these two individuals? In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s “Devil Bringer, a new feature that has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system’s advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver. New active style change system for Dante allows him to switch styles and weapons on the fly, producing crazy combo possibilities ESRB Rated M for Mature

Features

  • New characters and environments while blending the familiar with the new - Newcomer Nero clashes with veteran Dante
  • Signature blend of guns and swordplay
  • Deep combo system rewards stylish dispatching of enemies. Unique “Devil Bringer” arm opens up a range of combo options.
  • Exceed System allows Nero to charge up his sword with a throttle effect, revving up to three levels with powerful attack options
  • New active style change system for Dante allows him to switch styles and weapons on the fly, producing crazy combo possibilities

 Fans of the `Hack and Slash’ wing of the Action genre are more than likely familiar with the single player, gothic-flavored action of Capcom’s Devil May Cry franchise. The first three games in the series are centered on the sword play and gun slinging of demon hunter and long-time hero, Dante, but in the most recent release, Devil May Cry 4, players are thrown a changeup, as doubt is cast on the once unquestionable motives and actions of Dante by a new, yet somehow familiar hero, Nero.

This is one of the best games to come out this year so far and i hope the next sequal turns out to be really good.The great thing about this game is that its easy to pick up and play.Its perfect for someone new in the series.Devil May Cry 4 does get harder as the difficulty goes up.But so far easy pick up and play.Good action sequences and very awesome voice acting.Must buy for anyone new to the series and wants a good action/adventure game.

Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card

Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card

From Microsoft

With this Xbox 360 Live Gold Card you’ll get a year’s access to Xbox Live - the place where gaming, entertainment, and competition converge. With features like intelligent matchmaking, leagues, ladders and tournaments, you’ll havean incredible online gaming experience. Best of all, you can renew at your pace, without charges to your credit card.

I recently purchased this product. It’s great deal since you get a year and a month for this price, but Amazon forgot to activate my card. After calling both amazon and xbox customer service, I finally got it working. The xbox rep said it was not a good idea to buy prepaid cards online. It’s quite annoying to read the 25 letter/number subscription code over the phone. For letters, you have to say the letter and a word that starts with that letter. For example, “R as in ready.” To say it was annoying would be an understatement. You do save about 6 or 7 bucks ordering online which is the only reason it was worth all this trouble.
