Psychotic Informer - 8/1/11


 1. First up today is a way to earn money for playing games! Oh yeah, I got your attention now. Though it’s not about being a partner on a video streaming site or anything, this is a way to earn money just by playing Diablo III. Diablo III will include an auction house feature, where you can auction off rare in-game items for real money! So basically you win a dungeon or kill a rare beast and get a super rare item, which you then put up for auction for other people to buy with real money! There is a transaction fee, though, so you should make sure the item you will be putting up isn’t worth less than the transaction fee. But for people who don’t like getting money (I don’t know who that would be, but just in case) there’s also a separate auction house for selling items for game currency. What do you think about this feature? Would you do this to make money? (For more information, read the full article


2. Coming soon to the 3DS (yes, yes, I know, more 3DS news, sue me) and Wii U (when it comes out) is going to be paid downloadable content (DLC)! Though it was used for Mega Man 9, 10, and some Final Fantasy games, it will actually play a bigger role for 3DS and Wii U. Nintendo said that they won’t be having DLC for their games, but some third-party games for the 3DS and Wii U will include it. Basically it goes like this: Sony and Microsoft are obsessed with money so they release half-complete games for full price then make you pay even more money for the other portion of the game. Nintendo is so cool that they complete games 100% before sending them out. What do you think? Will 3DS and Wii U DLC be a cool feature or just another way to blow money?
