According to numerous sources on the web, Toys "R" Us will be starting their Buy 2 Get One Free games sale this Sunday and ending Oct 20th. I’m kinda thinking of going for Saints Row 2, Dead Space, and something else. It’s too bad the sale isn’t happening three or four weeks from now when LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Gears, well, pretty much every game anyone is looking forward to will be out.

Anyways, if you’re looking to get a some new new games for less, head over to Toys "R" Us next week. I think the sale is also going on online. I’ll let you know when I know.

Amazon.com is selling the SOCOM: Confrontation Bundle that comes with new, official, PS3 bluetooth headset for a little bit less than $59.99, $56.99! That doesn’t seem like that much a savings, but look at it this way. The headset alone is $49.99. From any other place, at the moment, you pay $10.00 more, and you get a whole game (that, alone, costs $39.99), but at Amazon, you’ll only be paying $7.00  more for the same game!


Playing the beta, I think that SOCOM will probably be an interesting diversion from the tons of other games coming out this holiday. It’s a bit slower paced for a shooter, but the real difference is that the people who play it are quite serious which really ups the chances for getting in a truly team orientated experience. So rare in a lot of online shooters.

The real star for me is the headset though. I need a mute button. A lot of games use open chat, instead of push to talk, and I hate to be that guy who’s having a loud conversation with someone else during a game. There’s other stuff too, see below.


When was the last time you ever saw a trailer for a headset. Pretty cool though, huh? Wonder why the trailer is rated M (for Mature).
