looking for advice on how to handle a system sale gone wrong

plik — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:50:44 GMT

here is the situation.
i sold a complete system with a few games to someone. payment was promptly received and i shipped out the system. i tested it to my best ability since i only had the games i sold with the system.
few days later i get a PM that the package arrived but the buyer is unhappy. he can't get his other games to work on it correctly.
so he demanded a full refund. i told him that i understood his frustration but that's not really fair. what i sold him was working to my knowledge and everything in my "for sale" post was accurate.
i was willing to work with him if he can meet me half way. he refused and wanted a full refund.
i replied that i will refund his money minus the shipping cost. he took this in a way that he would get to keep the system and stuff and not have to send it back to me. i don't think that's fair.
what do you guys think? should i have to refund his whole amount? that's like me paying for the privilege of mailing him shit and have it return to me.

what's your opinion?

Was the Dracula X remake ever released?

Have been out of touch with gaming for ages, so I apologise for my ignorance. I remember there was talk of a remake for one of the new portable systems.

For Trade: Free: Card Fighters DS (two copies)

shidoshi — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 05:32:05 GMT

I have two copies of Card Fighters DS that anybody can have if they want (and will actually play) them. Both copies are the pre-fixed version; in other words, if you play through the game a second time (on the same save), you'll get to a point where the game crashes and you can no longer continue.

If you want them, PM me your address. If you have two DSes available and know you'll play the game with somebody else, I'll send you both. Otherwise, I'll send one to two different people (if two different people actually want the game).

BTW - this is for the game card only.

Rosetta Stone

Rich — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 04:48:32 GMT

So I recently started using Rosetta Stone for German.

The first lesson was pretty alright. I was able to get through it without many mistakes..but goddamn, lesson 2 makes me feel like they expect too much.

Has anyone used Rosetta Stone to successfully gain a rudimentary understanding of a language? I feel like they're just throwing shit out there and hoping I understand it without any help here on Lesson 2!

Best way to prep videos for YouTube

Dolemite — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:07:59 GMT

I'm looking to start uploading some movies I've shot to YouTube. Now, Ive seen video there that looks nice and clear and video that looks like it's made with legos it's so pixely. Is there a certain way to prep your video before uploading so that it looks as good as possible?

If it helps, all my videos are currently AVI files shot in standard def widescreen.

Thanks.

The Witness - Jonathan Blow's New Game

Kotaku sucks but they've got video and impressions from the PAX demo here.

Artwork and exploratory, puzzle-focused gameplay style are reminiscent of Rand brothers' iconic early '90s adventure game, MYST. I have little doubt it will take on its own identity before release, still at least a year away.

And after Braid, I will be there day one. With bells on.

Mod delete comment to deleted blog please?

ElCapichan — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:32:05 GMT

I deleted a blog that needed a bit more work, and I didn't realize I needed to delete the comment I had left before I deleted the blog post. So if a mod could please remove the lone comment that would rock.

Super Meat Boy

Cowdisease — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:18:36 GMT

Super Meat Boy is coming out for XBLA, PC, and Wiiware. It is the feature game in Microsoft's Game Feast event and will be released on October 20th for $15 on XBLA. After having extensively played it during PAX, I can say that it's definitely a day-one purchase and would recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of hardcore platforming.

One of the cool features the game has is its Dark World mechanic. If you beat a stage with a Grade A+ rating, you unlock the Dark World version of the stage. The Dark World version is the same stage with a bunch of additional hazards located throughout the level that increases its difficulty level. Going through the Dark World is optional, but it's there to challenge you if you're good in the regular game.

The Warp Zones take you to special stages that have special rules. Some make the game play like a SNES or Game Boy game, in which it looks differently (Game Boy colors in the Game Boy levels) and offer only a limited number of lives to beat its stages. Other Warp Zone allow you to play as characters from other indie games in stages specifically designed for those characters. The one in the demo I played was Commander Video from Bit.Trip.Runner. I know that the main character from Braid is another character in this game.

You will die a lot in this game. But when you finally beat a level, you can save a replay of that level which shows your last 40 attempts. The gameplay trailer I posted has examples of all the Meat Boy attempts running around.

Definitely add this title to your watch list. If you have any questions about the game, let me know.

Video of the Racketboy CTX members' meet

wip3outguy7 — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:44:00 GMT

I was talking with Bahn about this and he thought some of you might dig it.

Recently, the Central Texas members from Racket got together for a shoot em' ups and beat em' ups game and meet. Game Over Video Games of Austin, TX generously donated their store space so we could play. Enjoy the video:

If you are in or around the Austin area, drop by the forum and let us know. We are in the planning stages for another game and meet for the beginning of next year.

For Sale: Sealed Tekken 6 360, or trade for PS3 version

GohanX — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:37:01 GMT

The Tekken 6 thread has gotten me to finally want to play the game, but I think I want to play the PS3 version instead. So I'm selling my copy, it is still in shrinkwrap with the slip cover. Or, I'll trade it for a PS3 version of Tekken 6, opened is fine as long as it has the case and manual. I'm thinking $20 shipped by first class mail would be fair.
