It's too bad Wynands come across as a complete dick in his first statement, but every sentence after that is incredibly well written.

@sander_dutch: More like 2015, right at the end of the life cycle.

I've been relatively excited about how this would work. But (based on the video) there doesn't seem to be any correlation to doing really well in the song and what is, and isn't, destroyed. And if this is how it is on every song, as loud as it is, I will pass on this game.

@ShadowOdin isn't american: You can get some of these games on wiiware already. happier?

That would be great news if the tester could get that into the Wii in place of the video Nintendo FORCES YOU TO WATCH!

@Mayor Wilkins: Yoko Kanno!

Anyone who has ever worked in development knows that there is always SOMEONE from the publisher, or license, side who has some huge demands which may not quite fit within the scope of being technically viable (and easily achievable) and often the result doesn't end up looking or behaving the way they envisioned,…

@Omnimon: Not to mention he changed [things like] "requests" to "demands." I wonder how his fingers are able to type today, what with his hands being so heavy.

@deanbmmv: What was its exception? Most other consoles go 5 years between the next rev since the early 90's.

@Bkore: SPOILER!!!

Dear M$,

@i_9: And Austin.

It's been said by many on here already, and I will repeat it. Comparing images of car renders to in game models is stupid. There is only one photo where it is compared to a real life photo. That should be the basis for comparison.

@Showmeyomoves!: wtf are you talking about? This is all being done by a 3rd party, this has nothing to do with console affiliation

"one of those giant flying airships that everyone thought was a brilliant idea until the Hindenburg went belly up, caught on fire, and exploded."

This will do more real damage to families already struggling to get by in today's economy, than releasing the game would have to society.

The thing no one is asking is if the whole purpose of this service is so people can use their Paypal account funds to buy Microsoft points.

As a collector, once you start getting a few colors, it becomes an addiction. I have multiple N64s, Game Boy Micros, SPs, and DS's. It's like getting a tattoo, one isn't enough.
