I was reading over on gamefaqs that it sounds like they are not fixed, but that site has a lot of nonsense going on. So I'm not sure what to make of it.

I understand that this post really does nothing to shed any light on the situation... >.>

Lol. Speaking of bugs, I ran into one on Deus Ex: Human Revolution that wouldn't let me finish one of the side quests.I completed all of the objectives listed investigating my ex girlfriends murder, then went to talk to her Mom, did all of the dialog choices, then it just sits there, the only way to get out of it is load my last save. After reading up on it, it's apparently a known bug where you have to get some cop to confess to something or you can't finish the mission, even though that's not listed as an objective. You can't go back and do it either, because the cop isn't there anymore. Lame, but i'm not going to start the whole game over because of it.

Yup. Only thing that sucked me in. I'm too cheap to pay a monthly subscription to play a game.

Likewise. I have an active WoW account, but it's funded by a bunch of game time cards that I received from a buddy that works at a local GameStop. I have to keep it active for 1 year in order to receive Diablo 3 for free lol.

DCUO has lots of in game content to purchase and I've purchased some of it, but a subscription just doesn't make sense to me. I can buy all the DLC they've put out and the one that's in the works for $30. Depending on what price tier you get in, that's 2-3 months of a subscription. I play longer than 2-3 months and I've passed the break even mark which I can do pretty easily.
 
Finishing up Bioshock 2 on the PC going to get the Minerva Den dlc when I'm done for a few more hours of gameplay. Going to miss rapture but at the same time looking forward the new setting in bioshock infinite. Besides that I'm playing Edge classic on my phone that I got from the new humble Indie bundle.

On PC I'm playing Oblivion and Tribes Ascend. On Xbox I've been playing Vanquish and just picked Half Life 2 back up and hope to finish it soon. I play a little on Android, mostly Drop 7 (over, and over, and over, again).
 
Still slowly making my way through Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I'm enjoying it, but it's still not as good as the original. That game was genius.
 
I got a lovely PS Vita for my anniversary, but it doesn't come out until next week lol. I guess I'll be playing that on my commute to work/home for a while. The misses got me the Uncharted game for it. I looked at the game selection and I'm extremely happy that I'll finally be able to play MLB The Show.
 
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Vita), Ninja Gaiden: Sigma + (Vita), and Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita).

I'm really liking this whole layout of the Vita's UI. It's very fluid and easy to navigate. The graphics are fairly stunning for a mobile gaming device. I only expect it to get better as time passes and more games are released.

Right on! Would you recommend the Vita? I have a 3DS but find it doesn't get much use outside of Mario 3D Land. The game lineup on the Vita appeals more to me, especially for quick gaming sessions when my wife and daughter have the TV occupied and I can't get to the PS3. ;)

Honestly, if you aren't frugal and are willing to spend the money on the investment - it could be worthwhile. The game library at launch is relatively poor, but that's typically the case for any console.
 
The Vita looks awesome, but I think I'll wait awhile and make sure it takes off before I take the plunge. I hope it's successful or it could be the end for handheld game consoles. I really don't enjoy playing anything but simple games on a phone. I needs buttons!

I think it will take off, but the whole proprietary memory nonsense is really going to put a damper in sales. It's already huge in Japan, but that's to be expected.

I was reading that they sold a bunch of them at launch in Japan, but then sales dropped off dramatically. Sony is really annoying with their proprietary everything.

Here's an article about the sales drop:

Those numbers do not include online sales, so we can assume that there are some prime numbers missing here, but in any event - it is going up against the 3DS which has already been out for a while and has great developer support. In any event, I think the Vita will be successful in time. At least, I hope it is for my sake lol.

I hope so too, I got a lot of use out of my PSP even though lots of people like to bash it. I'm impressed with the amount of technology they managed to cram into the Vita. Hopefully phone games don't completely overtake the handheld market. Even the 3DS isn't doing that great.

As of right now, I'm satisfied with what games are upcoming in the relatively near future for the Vita. I'm psyched for the Final Fantasy X HD remake that is due at the end of this year.
 
I've been trying to get into Fallout Tactics. It's fun, but the inventory is a bit much to swap between characters. And it gets intense, it stresses me out ;)
 
I'm gonna have to re-play ME2 before ME3... I remember loving it (me2) much more than the first (though I really liked that one too).... But I am a bit short on the scratch, so i'll be waiting this one out I think.... price drop to come eventually :D
 
Finally finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution last week. Now playing Resident Evil 5: gold edition. I love the RE series, but not being able to move while aiming is lame. Otherwise I'm liking it, the graphics are impressive.
 
I just reinstalled Jade Empire. May give it a run, wish I had saved my old save file.... Might give it a go through
 
I never completed Jade Empire. I got stuck at one part (can't even remember where exactly....) and then I stopped. :(
