EB Games Offers 80GB PS3 with Free Game - $399

PS3 News from N4G | NHL 09

PS3 - NHL 09 - EB Games Offers 80GB PS3 with Free Game - $399

NextGen Player writes:

"While on the subway today reading the Toronto Metro newspaper I came across an EB Games full page ad for a pretty good PS3 deal in Effect from November 23 - December 13. If you purchase an 80GB PS3 ($399 + tax) they will also give you a free game out of a selection of five titles.

Normally when I hear an offer like this my internal gamer radar tells me the free game will either be something crappy, like oh say Kung-Fu Panda or a game like Uncharted that is really good, but so last year.

Amazingly enough, this deal has decided to be in defiance of gamer radar and is not entirely full of suck."

PS3 - NHL 09 - World Gaming lets you turn frags into cash

It's every gamers' dream: win money by playing video games. Despite gaming's newfound mainstream acceptance, most people--especially those in the United States--do not recognize gaming as a legitimate competitive activity. In a country where card games like Texas Hold 'em have recently exploded, turning 21-year-olds into online superstars, it's no stretch to assume that more gaming mediums deserve a similar place in public attention.

NHL 09 disc error also known as the cache time-bomb

PS3 News from N4G | NHL 09

PS3 - NHL 09 - NHL 09 disc error also known as the cache time-bomb

Xbox Fanboy writes: "Sports fans, grab the tissues because the tears are about to start flowing. Users on the official EA Sports forum are reporting widespread disc read error issues with NHL 09 -- over time. Many users are reporting the popular hockey franchise works as advertised during the initial play through but eventually crashes after loading saved modes or regular games once the Xbox 360 reboots.

While EA has yet to release an official statement regarding the problem users have found success with two bandaid solutions -- which point to cache problems in the game. According to the EA Forum users clearing the cache of the Xbox 360 and disabling the auto-save feature in NHL 09 may help fix the problem but as gamers play more of the game the issue returns."

PS3 - NHL 09 - NHL 2009 Launch Event - NHL Stars Included

Consoleme.ca writes: Yesterday I was lucky enough to score an invitation to Electronic Arts' NHL 2009 launch event in Vancouver, Canada. For anyone that doesn't know, the latest installment in the successful NHL franchise from EA was released to the public on Tuesday and is already garnering rave reviews from the interwebs. Having had a chance to play it first hand and having lots of experience playing previous iterations of the game I can safely say that this is probably the best hockey game to ever be released. As an avid hockey fan it is impossible to understate how great the game looks, plays and feels. But you don't have to take my word for it, there were lots of real life hockey players in attendance who were blown away by how realistic the game is.
