Gamestop has it brand new for 20 bucks! That's how I got mine.

What's your PSN ID?

The only game I have as of right now is Super Street Fighter 4 though.

I'm probably going to go pick up some stuff at gamestop tomorrow if I can think of some things I want. Not going to buy heavy rain even though I want to play it badly.

At least I keep telling myself that, but know when I get to Gamestop tomorrow I will be highly tempted. Highly...

There are no places near me to rent the game. Nor do I know anyone who owns it. :s

I'm getting a router within a few weeks I'm hoping (as I can't do much else anyways), so I'll at least play you at some SF4 when I get hooked up.

I also have Valkyria Chronicles.
I'm about to beat it.
Maybe after I do we can work something out, who knows.
Although that wouldn't solve your "someone near me" problem.

Actually I could ship it to you or something if you want since I finished the game already.

Took me forever cause I suck at SRPGs but I finished it.

And I'd recommend a Gamefly kiosk on a college campus if you know of one. It's two bucks a day but it's like an eight hour game I've heard.

Over/under on how long it takes before Moogle finds something to complain about?

I got valkyria today. Thanks for the offers. I drove 2 hours to get it though. I fucking love the game so far.

I'll take you up on the SF4, but I only have super not the regular version. :D

Also I picked up Demon's Souls. That game is retarded hard. That is all. Back to Valkyria chrons I suppose.

any of you guys have Killzone 2? I just got it, playing the campaign right now, very beautiful game, the only thing I didn't like was looking around, it felt too slow. Like an automatic car accelerating

I'm going to complain now and appease earl. It seems like the loading times on PS3 take forever. This goes for all 3 games I have played so far.

I even installed Valkyria Chronicles hoping to help solve this problem. I don't really see that it made any difference honestly.

It's not unbearable, but I haven't played the stuff you have..

I know Uncharted 2 is kinda long when you first start a new campaign or load a save game but then that goes away.

At least it's not DMC4 with the bullshit install times.

Well Valkyria took about 25 minutes which wasn't bad. Demon's Souls wasn't unbearable, just long. However the game is beautiful and mega challenging so I'll forgive it, also the massive levels it loads up explain the loading time. Super Street fighter 4 just honestly takes way too long and I don't know why. SF4 wasn't that bad as I've played it on PS3 consoles many times as it's tournament standard.

You bought Demon's Souls too? Fuck, now that means I have to finish Eternal Sonata even faster!

God damn MW2

Yes, SF4 load times are far too long. Some halfway decent pre-loading of resources or just keeping of resources in RAM would make a huge difference.

For example, probably the majority of the time when you die, you are going to replay that level again. So why not just keep that level and character all in RAM while you switch to the character select screen? I mean, that's basic programming skills.

I don't find load times unbearable at all.
In fact after installing Valkyria (for example) the average load time is maybe 3-5 seconds for me.

The longest hinderance I've found in a PS3 game is saving in FarCry 2, which takes all of 10 seconds. That, and in Tekken 6 pre-installing the game load times were 20 seconds, but after install almost instantaneous.

Maybe something's wrong with your system? I've never had a single person complain (then again you are the master of it) about load times in a PS3 game (unless they haven't installed the game).
