I really would, but I am about 2 hours drive from the closest place that rents games.

Also, Travo, have you friended me on PSN yet? aspro73 is my handle.

Also, Vader, I had a serious look at the trophy cards last night for the first time. I retract my prior criticism. Once you find out where they are and how they work they are actually better than the MS ones -- the problem is the visibility. They should have it on screen in some of the dead space in the crossbar.

Since yesterday was the last day of my internet cap and I had some left over I was DLing what I could from PSN. I got the demo of Pac-Man and NBA2K11 (still DLing). Pac-Man is great. More of a departure from the original than I was expecting, but still good. I thin kI only got CE though, not the new one

Keeping in mind the reverse of what Reggie says usually happens, that last line looks like a price drop or value-added bundling.

"As for the Wii, Fils-Aime downplayed rumors that the company may expedite its next generation machine due to flagging sales – and dropped a possible hint that price cuts could be in the near future for the system.

'The Wii has a long life in front of it," he says. "We're still sitting at $199. There are a variety of marketing tools at our disposal.'"

Took me 5-6 hours on veteran I think. Maybe an hour or two longer, but either way it's short. There's a reasonable amount of cutscene time to make it seem longer too.
