If there ever was anything worthy of being deemed "Epic" is the barrage of modded console bannings unleashed by Microsoft. 1 million systems? Fuck.

They just chopped their userbase down by 1 million people. PS3 takes the lead! LOL

It's all a part of MS's evil plan to artificially fuel their hardware sales by year's end.

That's a good idea

Just finished the Bog level in Call of Duty 4 on Wii and I'm midway through the next level with the SAS after the helicopter crashed. Now I'm impressed visually with what they are doing here. Genuinely those levels look great. I guess its like most Xbox era games in that some bits look better than others.

I didn't like that level before the Bog where you went into the TV studios to find assad. Boring.

They ACTUALLY DID IT!!!

They successfully made a PORTABLE, PLAYABLE Phantasy Star Online game!!!

I am SOOO psyched right about now!!!

Vader!!! You BETTER get this for Christmas!!! I'm going to want someone to go online with, with this game!!!

Best of all, it is more like the original PSO than Phantasy Star Universe!!! DEFINITELY a GOOD thing!!!

Its a 100% guarantee, don't worry.

I do like mouse controls, but I also like the ease of the console, the vibration of the controller, and what have you. I guess it doesn't matter much in the end. PC version is cheaper.

Actually, no it's not; at least not in terms of MSRP.  Usually PC is less, but Activision decided to up the price on Modern Warfare 2.

Well why the fuck are they charging $60 for the PC version with no royalty fees?! Now I'm NOT buying it.

 Because they can!

So Natal is coming in at $80 - $90. . .  depending on what game is bundled with it that actually might be worth it.  They're going for the Balance Board/Wii Fit price.  It certainly worked for Nintendo and the board has gotten a lot less support than Natal has lined up.  Got to say this is one time where I couldn't even begin to predict how the sales will be.

Really... Pachter was right?!

The problem is that Nintendo was trying to sell the game, Microsoft's trying to sell the hardware

Very true.  Microsoft is even looking a little hesitant. They're only producing 5 million of these for the first run.  Not a drop in the bucket but that doesn't seem like a lot either.  I guess until some software details come out there will still be a lot of questions.  Guess there's little doubt what MS' E3 presentation will be about.

From the Uncharted 2 Zero Punctuation review:

"Uncharted 2 is by no stretch of the word 'bad'.  It's all very balanced and compelling and cinematic and all the other words from the GameSpot review generator."

Oh snap!

Hobo gamer strikes again. A Blockbuster near me is closing so everything is on sale. Got De Blob for $10.

NIcely done. That's still a dollar more than I paid.

Wow, I never though about it before, but that's amazingly astute point.

Can someone tell me why my de Blob is all in spanish???

I looked at the disc, its the NA version. I don't see a language option in game. Uhhh, what the hell? At least I know spanish so I can get by but its weird.

El blobo? what did you expect for $10 - the english version?
