My wife allowed me the one wall to showcase my games.... Little did she know just how inventive I am!
That's about half my games actually... Sad, isn't it.

I guess it's easier to say I completely disagree with this list so far. Nearly every system listed would have to shuffle in some way in my list. I've owned and played every single one of these systems at some point, and still own most of them.

I was boggled for a bit also.......I scoured that puppy for the freebie that wasn't to be found.

FFVII remake?
Probably not, but it fits the "epicness" of the post.
I'm pretty laid back when it comes to announcements like this, but it's nice to know that all these games are in the works.

I was just in there on my lunch break and they had 4 or 5 slims on the shelves ready to sell.

Agreed, and I'll add that since you can play both the gamecube primes on the Wii anyways, what's really the issue?
Pent up angst! imo

Chaos, I'm not sure getting 360 converts is the market they are after.
There are upwards of 50-100 million (guess) PS2 owners out there sitting and waiting for this gen still. I think a drop in price caters to them far more than someone who already jumped into this gen.
Time will tell for sure though.

As a parent, a lot of things go through your head when you watch something like that....
I played Indigo Prophecy, and I rarely say I'm going to buy a game based on the merits of the predecessor, but Indigo Prophecy was so deep emotionally that I just have to play Heavy Rain.
I'm excited for this one.

Way to give me sadface today.

Shining Force games don't make sense to release since you can get the 49 master system//genesis games already in the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
It would make more sense to release a game that's not available already.

The whole reason people play MMO's is for the community and comfort of friends combined with the carrot on a stick gameplay.
I think they should just lower the monthly fee, or create a better balanced MMO (hard to do, but necessary in RVR oriented games).

I'm contemplating making the jump with this cut, maybe get one for the family for Christmas.

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a good breakdown of major exclusive games to compare the consoles for awhile now.
I'm glad that it's actually exclusives and not 'console exclusives' because to me the term exclusive is a very specific thing. I also like to know what games I can't play anywhere else prompting me to buy all the hardware.
Did you make that one yourself? If so, kudos to you. I appreciate it.

I run the new ASUS style mobo's with the passive heatsinks that do a good job of dissipating heat. It's also got the new phenom quad core from AMD that runs pretty cool if you keep the over-clocking down.
As you can see there are plenty of fans, I pull air from the side and front across the HDD and VC's and push it out the top (natural heat tendency) and back directly by the processor.
It runs cool enough to do rendering and solid modeling work non-stop. (my job) ...
The 360's tendency to port exclusives to PC hurt more than helped.
And not that I need proof of "having" a gaming PC, I'll post a pic anyways just because it's so sexy.

Thanks guys, I've been collecting for a long time. There are only a handful of games I've ever gotten rid of. As far as the wife is concerned, she knew what she was getting into, and she's put up with it for almost 12 years now.
It's also fun to see the kids try out the old ones along with the new ones. A someone who grew up at the same time video games did I don't have the option of "looking back" without nostalgia to really see what games are better now and what w...
