Question:

I've paid for one 360.  I have had 3 total, one through a store warranty, another one from MS warranty.  So does that count as a single unit moved or as 3 units moved by MS?

One.

I'm thinking two. My first purchase, plus the store warranty one -- the store would have shown that as a purchase and taken the loss (since it was their warranty, not MS).

They need to make another Wolverine game cause the last one was badass.

Aspro was joking but yeah ...the first Wonder Boy was a clone of Adventure Island.  Or maybe it was the other way around.  I'm sure Leo would know.

Shinji Mikami action figure.

Nothing turns the ladies on more than a Shinji Mikami action figure sitting on your desk.

BTW...Crysis 2 is really killer guys. Anybody who is crazy enough to not have already bought the sequel to the best shooter since Halo 1 should really do so.

I decided to get C2 on the Xbox instead of the PC, so graphically its a bit hard to compare to C1 especially since the settings are worlds apart. I'd say C2 on Xbox definitely doesn't look as good as C1 on my PC, but for a console game it looks amazing with very photo-realistic environments and sounds. Its odd because the setting and vibe of C2 is so different from C1. It feels more like a sequel to Half Life 2 than it does a sequel to Crysis in some ways, yet the combat, controls, and suit powers are just like what you'd find in C1. C1 really felt like a sequel to Far Cry (moreso than Far Cry 2 in fact), which it basically was. But somehow this game manages to have a Half Life feel which is both good and bad depending how you look at it. Story doesn't seem too great so far though and I can't really tell how much it ties into C1 yet.

I'm a few hours into the campaign and as for that, it blows away anything you'd find in nearly every shooter out there. I think its better than Halo Reach so far, and obviously Call of Duty. Multi-player wise I don't know as outside of a tiny bit of the demo I haven't checked it out.  Is it as good as C1? I don't think so, but its still a very high quality game in every sense. I do miss the tropical settings of Crytek's previous games, but at the same time its probably a good idea that they tried something totally different this time. I really wish I had one of those Razer Xbox controllers for this game though, as the way the controls are set up it would be ideal being able to map suit and weapon augmentations to the extra bumper buttons, instead of the back button on the normal Microsoft pad.

So, top notch graphics and sound. Great smooth controls. Satisfying combat. Vehicle use. Great weapons and suit powers. Lengthy campaign. Better than the competition.

Oh god. I just noticed the date. I'll be back when the ridiculousness is over. See you on April 2nd.

Though if the PS3 is only ahead by a million in Europe and down 10 million in the US, I bet Japan is only a few million lead, where are they getting numbers to beat 360? Middle East? South America? Australia?

In Japan the lead is much higher. Remember over there the 360  has only sold about 1.5 million units. Off the top of my head I'd guess that there's probably a descrepancy of around 5 million between the two systems.
