No Halo 3? Assassins Creed and Call of Duty 4 got nominated and these two games came out around the same time as Halo.
It's also battery operated.

MegaTen games finally hitting the PS3.
Great article!</s>
Infamous, The new MLB game, DC Universe (Most Likely), Demon's Souls, Yakuza 3... there's probably more.
- COD:MW 2 should be ranked higher.
- I Am Alive does not deserve to be in the list.
- Where is SF?
- I highly doubt GOW3 will come out in time this year.
- R&C should be listed just based on Insomniac's track record.
I think Heavy Rain looks better than KZ2. Also, Uncharted 2 has a very good chance to take the crown this year graphics-wise.
UT3 looked as good as gears. Saying Killzone 2 looks better is an understatement.
Now we know where Drebin's monkey got its inspiration from.
Games are cheaper today than they were several generations ago due to inflation. It's not so much as the price of the game but rather the availability of it. Fewer retailers equal higher prices. In most parts of the world outside of the US, the market isn't there to justify selling games at the suggested retail price. Video games are a luxury in most places and are priced as such.

Yes, EA does have a huge development team. However, it is not enough. On their own, EA releases about 2-4 games a year which are really must-haves and the rest of their games fall on the "mediocre" scale.
Other publishers may become wary of investing in another console in an already crowded market and do what EA did to Sega's Dreamcast. EA's hypothetical console will not last long without third party support.
A business venture of this...
I don't see this happening for the following reasons:
1. EA would have to give up the exclusivity deal with NFL (Madden) if this were to happen. Madden sells millions of units a year and EA will not allow this to happen.
2. They won't be able to beat Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft who has already established a sizable user-base.
3. EA will make a lot less revenue should they make games exclusively on their own console.
4. They will most likel...
Not bad for an IP that was originally intended for the Mac.
EDIT: I liked Halo CE and was glad that it came out on PC rather than the Mac. I never got into Halo all that much since CS took most of my time when it came to FPS though.
"I dont care about console wars, im just arguing on the side of logic. And it was logical in a business aspect, to leave out the hd format."
I agree with you on this one, the 360 is indeed non-HD.
Does it include secondary accounts?
