What else do the xbots have to play but another rendition of halo?
Up next, Master Chief and the Chipmunks, Halo 3 action figures, and your very own Master Chief Pajamas!

@DJ,
I agree with almost all your points. Except the one about USB killing off Firewire. I think that using Flash thumb drives as an example is a strawman argument. External Firewire drives are used extensively in the consumer and professional market. And since hardware and modern operating systems have become more universal in todays heterogeneous world. The inclusion of a firewire/USB port(s) is common even after hearing about all the "USB 2.0 will kill Firewire 400" ...
...a PC dev that refuses to learn anything new.
I suspect that Halo: ODST will get around a 9.1 in the end. But just because it has the Halo name on it. It's funny how they keep trying to milk it for all it's worth.
Up next is Halo: ME
Then Halo: Vista
How ironic that Halo was Mac game company for Macs only in the day. If those bastards hadn't been sellouts all M$ would have would be Gears and Viva Pinata! Ha ha!
Glad you mentioned that title. I'm looking forward to this difficult dungeon crawler.

I just watched the BBC show and it was ok... I mean, they didn't really claim that it was a critical mass issue affecting millions UK consumers. But rather a small number of owners.
But the Sony Letter to the BBC was a beat down! I mean, damn!
And for what its worth...the fix was pretty simple. Makes me wonder if this was a lemon problem with some of the 60GB version that were affected by ventilation conditions over the years.
WOW! I was expecting the PS3 or the 360 to be a little bit better than each other! But not THAT BAD! I mean, damn, the 360 version looks like PS2 graphics!

The 500GB Segate is a good deal too at $114.00. If you need that space.
Makes you wonder how many of those 1 million 360s are gamers that ended up buying new consoles because they gave up trying to get their brick RROD 360 fixed.

Just wanted to point out that the PS3 has been on the market for 2 years and 10 months. This is critical to point out since the holiday season has not started yet. Late November is when the sales rise for all consoles. The price point for the PS3 has always been high until now. The sweet spot is $299 or less. It took the PS2 four years to release a slimmed down version. But the PS3 took only 2 years and 9 months. I'd say they are on the right track for the long term...
Yep. and make sure you check out the comments on that blog!!!
They are ripping that guy a new one!!!!
A few funny comments...."You should be fired!" and "What a fu**ing moaner!" and "shutdown this useless gay blog."
Yes, looks like a bump in sales for Star Wars because it went on sale - which is back to it's normal price now. PS3 back on top at #1.
But did anyone else notice that Madden 09 is at 28th for the PS3 and the 360 version for Madden is at 36? That's a nice change. :)
Sniper, thanks for the link. I didn't know about the animated themes. I need to go download the LBP theme.

Bubble for you, darkride66!
Typical nitpicking and then exaggerating the conclusion with a misleading title.
Just wanted to ask you a few questions. Do you have a good HDTV? Running at least 720p? Have you played GTAIV recently? I think you should go back and stick the game in and then compare the textures of the city to that in inFamous. I'd think you'd be surprised. I haven't played GTAIV in over a year and just put the game back in and it looks well, bland. Not the game play. The game play is great. But the only thing that GTAIV has over inFamous in terms of graphics is car detail, damage and day...
Just a few highlights: He's PC gamer. Former Sega fan (vendetta vs Sony?). Love racing games mostly. And thinks Gabe Newell is a swell guy.
