gift card to amazon. I need to use it to get another movie. I'm thinking I am Legend.

The GF actually played Ratchet through twice and now wants to play LBP. When I'm not playing with her, I'll be playing KZ2. I think LBP has the potential to keep me playing for a very long time though. Good stuff.

Not a doubt in my mind.

That would be sweet. There's plenty of other games coming this year. It could be anything. There looks to be consistent titles coming from June on.

I remember having a slammer that was made out of solid brass. It was at least 1/4 of an inch thick. It used to split people pogs in half. I didn't use it much though. Wasn't very fair. I loved that game.

Did it get banned from your schools too? I remember the huge stink parents made cause the game was teaching their children how to gamble. Loosing pogs was causing fights etc etc. Twas a sad day for me and the reason pogs had such a quick death in the town I lived in.

I hope it's a little less then a year then a little more though. Still ... I can't wait to see what another year of polish and content additions will do to what we've already seen.

it will be interesting to see how the PS3 does when GT5P gets released. Honestly though, I thought the 360 price cut was going to help sales more then it did.

the first plasma came out. I remember everyone going crazy over how cool they were. I remember 40 inch Plasmas costing around 6-10 grand. The price is no where near that now. I have a feeling that the next time I'm looking for a major TV upgrade, OLED tech will have become several times cheaper for us.

and I had just passed up on the opportunity to purchase a nice flame retardant suit.

Maybe the PS3 doesn't need to lower it's price in the European countries just yet. I would still like to see it happen though. right in time for GTA4 and MGS4.

Stil ... VG is only an estimation. Who knows how accurate any of this is.

I still buy the random CD though. So do a lot of people. Physical media is going to be a while before it's gone. The MP3 is much easier to download and store then a full length HD movie.

It's going to take a while for all those things you listed to happen.

Once it does though ... I'll be on the DD bandwagon as well. But to say that DD is going to stop BD's success is a little more then just out in left field don't you think.

I think that if MS put that much into HD-DVD, they would have included it with every 360. It would have taken the 360 that much longer to hit the market and at a much higher price point. Who's to even say the 360 would be doing as well as it is had MS gone this route. To top that off, if MS claimed giving people a choice for an HD-DVD addon knowing full well that it was just a stall tactic, what does that say about how MS thinks of it's customer base? It means they would have willingly sold H...

when was the last time you saw a major marketing push for the PS2 in retailers around the nation. They are doing more then just putting blu-ray movies on shelves. BD is being rammed down peoples' throats when you walk into these stores. The first thing I see when I walk in is a massive HDTV with a BD movie playing on it. It's usually accompanied by signs saying "TRUE 1080p only on BD". Even my GF's father, who has no clue about anything including resolutions, knows what BD is becaus...

I'm speaking semi-rhetorically. I know people had heard of it, but no one made a big deal out of it. That is until the format war was decided. I mean seriously ... if MS was so sure that DD would be the future, why then would they support HD-DVD? Toshiba has said the same about DD too. Why is it that most of these people weren't supporting DD until BD had won?

Major retailer are backing the format for a reason. It's not because it's sinking. One can't even walk into an electronics store without being bombarded by Blu-Ray/HDTV adds and marketing.

What the hell does a scientist know about marketing/business?!?!?

I mean really ... this whole DD thing is getting a little out of hand. We never even heard of it until HD-DVD lost. Now it's .... FEAR THE DD!

When I can store HD movies and transport them on flash drives then I will consider leaving the physical media. Until then, myself and the rest of the consumers will continue to purchase disks.

People act like the CD was whipped out by the MP3. I sti...

SOCOM fans tend to stick with the franchise like Halo fans do. MGS online seems to be a newer component. I know they did it previously but, not to this extent. Who knows though.

You do bring up a very valid question. Actually ... there are a lot of shooters coming out this year that could cannibalize of each others fan base. FROM2, KZ2, MGS4, SOCOM, R62, HAZE etc etc. I don't think it will be that bad though. The amount of PS3's in the market by the end of the year should be able...

MART and POG are nothing like Icewake. He's just blatantly stupid. My favorite 360 troll is still Zhuk. I sometimes think Sniper and him are the same person since they're posting styles are so similar.

6508d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

The least you could do is take some trolling lessons from Sniper or Zhuk. They make me laugh ... you make me think ... "is he really that stupid?"

Exactly. He doesn't mention that the average person is going to college now and graduating later in life. People don't grow up and get jobs until there mid 20's quite often. This wasn't the case of the baby boomers. Women are more liberated now, and rightfully so. More sceptic, agnositc and atheists exist now then in previous generations. More families need a dual income to survive now as well. There's a great disparity in the classes now as the middle class is shrinking consistently. There ...
