The 360's Game Room has built up quite a collection of games. Right now there is 88 games for the Atari 2600, 44 for the Intellivision, and 56 Arcade games. The arcade games consist mostly of Konami games with a few Atari ones. So far I have Detana!! Twinbee, Jackal, Missing In Action, Mr. Goemon, and Twinbee. Devastators came out today which is awesome as I have been wanting that game for a long time. I'm definitely grabbing that for a mere $3. They are starting to bring out games from the late '80's and I'm really waiting for the stuff from the early '90's to hit. Hopefully they'll get some more companies to bring some games out. I'm really hoping for some Capcom stuff.

Which sneaky story? And good point about Batman... holy shit, I forgot that Tim Burton directed that. It seems like another century and planet ago since that film came out.

Miyamoto on 3D movies on 3DS:

“When I was young", he says, “I had a stereoscopic movie viewer thing, and I became fascinated by the images. Maybe you could have short 3D clips you can watch over and over again. It's well suited to a device like the 3DS. It is also technically possible to put a full 2-hour movie on there and watch it too”.

I'm thinking movies would be streamed from the internet, maybe a netflix kinda dealio.

Woo! I haz Devastators! Played a round of it and man this game is still cool with the pseudo-3D scaling in as you move forward shooting enemies, tossing grenades, and firing bazookas ala Rambo. I love Game Room as you can visit friend's arcade rooms, issue and take on challenges, and mess with the game's dip switches. I don't know why Microsoft is so quiet about it.

Someone at MS with power must hate XBL and Zune, that's all I can figure. They are unwilling or unable to market themselves. Put the Kinect marketing tools in charge of all MS consumer, so says Aspro.

Sorry to hear about it, but glad you made it back all in one piece. Ft. Meyers actually has been known to age people 20 years in as little as a week.

As far as a network adapter I've seen them as cheap as $50. Those are the generic knock-off brand ones. THe recgonizable ones are still usually around $75 to $100.
