Reading rocks...when I'm not gaming (or working), I'm reading. Or painting.
Currently reading: The Dawn of Human Culture by Richard Klein and Blake Edgar; Evolution by Carl Zimmer; and Frozen Earth by Doug MacDougall.
In addition to books on anthropology, evolution, and astrophysics, I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, along with some general fiction and thrillers.
What do you like to read?
(Back to topic; again, sorry).
...but welcome news, nonetheless. Bionic Commando is one of my favorite classic games, and a reimagined new-gen version could be a very good game.
Or could something else be the "earth-shattering announcement?"
Price, I suppose...$79 versus $129...plus, the GBA SP has full backwards compatibility with older systems. That's an educated guess on my part.
Still, those are pretty impressive sales for a handheld whose days are sadly numbered.
I haven't heard of any rumors of another Wii bundle (has anyone?)
Wii Sports is a solid title that does a good job of introducing people to the Wii's unique control system; plus, it's a pretty user-friendly game for all ages.
Maybe a Mario Party 8 Bundle?
Just a thought.
BTW, thanks for the positive feedback.
Sorry people are disagreeing with you...the DS is awesome.
As I've said before (and below in this thread), never, ever underestimate Nintendo when it comes to handheld systems.
My store got a massive shipment of 360 Pro Holiday bundles last Wednesday, an amount that is normally a two week's supply.
They barely lasted four days. And that's not counting the large number of Elites and Halo models we sold.
Halo 3 effect + $90 worth of free games = big sales right now for the 360.
The only question is, will it last? We still haven't seen what impact, if any, the $399 PS3 will have.
Yes...the DS will play all GBA games, but not older system games (GB Color, etc.) One of its nicer features...in addition to hundreds of DS games, one can also play from thousands of GBA games.
Another reason the DS sells so well...never underestimate Nintendo when it comes to handheld systems.
The Halo effect in full swing...how long can it last? Is this just a temporary lift, or something that will be sustained for the foreseeable future?
We'll see.
Some factors to consider:
--Short supplies of the Wii may drive people to the other systems.
--How will the $399 PS3--sans backwards compatibility--fare?
--Will MS's Core Arcade, the alleged Wii-killer, have an impact?
--Or, what about the rumore...
I think that's one of the nice things about achievement points...it's an impetus to finish the game and also a reason to replay it. I've finished a couple of so-so games just for those last few points.
Yum.
I'd eat that.
Besides, a chocolate 360 would melt on its own. :)
j/k: I'm just a 360 fan poking a little fun at a certain issue with the system.
Agreed. Reported.
Or site hits.
Lousy crap like this story is what's preventing this site from truly achieving its potential.
Someone disagreed with my expression of thanks? Wow.
Thanks.
There's an Xbox on your carpet. 2nd photo.
Best way to decide:
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Will I need the hard drive space in the future? Out of 20GB, you can typically only use about 13GB. Plenty of room for gamesaves and the occasional download...
BUT, if you're planning on downloading lots of demos, HD content (there's more and more of that on Live every month), and other Live content, then that extra HD space can be worth it...I've been downloading everything possible that I want,...
Or, try having a console with no games to play...
How does it feel to have a little fanboy trolling thrown back at you?
I have no particular beef with the PS3, but I DO have one with fanboys of any ilk.
"I’ve heard stories of people who have had to return their 360’s 4 times, but in most cases it’s just a PS3 fanboy planting an evil seed on some unsuspecting forum."
Or me, loyal Xbox customer for nearly six years, who's on his fifth 360...in less than a year. And yes, I have the receipts to prove it.
But he is right on why people keep coming back...great games, incredible online experience...and speaking of crack, achievements are gaming's equivalent. ...
OK, Morgan Webb. :)
Ummm....what's the point? Has anyone ever heard of the Wii overheating with normal use?
Cash grab. Pure and simple.
