A few years ago, I put $5 down at my local Game Crazy to reserve Final Fantasy III on the DS, then I forgot to pick up my game.

@Holly: I bet you're a hit at parties. ;)

@Holly: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that booth babes may actually enjoy what they do. I have heard through the grapevine that some women enjoy showing off their bodies. Hell, I've seen women at bars, grocery stores, the mall, post office, etc. that dress slutty. I can only assume women dress that way in…

@Mundus: You guys are making it seem like I'm anti-Xbox or something. I love my 360 (and my PS3 and Wii). I merely pointed out that Microsoft had a really bad PR week and that's really unusual for them.

@Space Bot: Why would it be a joke?

@Synthos: I'm just thinking $300 for an Arcade unit bundled with Natal, $100 for a family gold, $60 for a game, and $40 for a plastic toy stand, a necessity for me since my plasma is mounted over the fireplace. That would bring my cost to $500, assuming I didn't already own a 360, which I do.

Am I the only one who feels like Microsoft is imploding? Kinect is overpriced (in my opinion), has some potentially fatal flaws, ridiculously priced accessories ($40 for a stand?), glitchy public demos, generic marketing corporate-speak answers for simple questions, now a $100 Live Gold family package which brings the…

When I hear the name, "Kudo Tsunoda," and then I actually see Kudo Tsunoda, I'm reminded of the Donna Chang episode of Seinfeld. This guy's about as Japanese as I am. And I'm half British and half Irish.

@hatmantc: Around 11:45pm on November 1st, you suddenly "remember" that you forgot to pick up milk at the 7-11. Then, make your way to your local Gamestop for a midnight release where you pre-ordered said Collector's Edition. Hopefully your wife went to sleep long before you left and then there's no sneaking…

Whew. For a minute there I thought this was actually going to be $150. Thank god Microsoft has contacted Gamestop and asked them to correct the price.

Okay, so the TV I play my 360 on is mounted over a fireplace (with no mantle). Where the hell am I going to put this?

@ryoshi: Apparently, it's serious enough for you to point out someone else's mistakes.

@ryoshi: There must be a comma after "though," and before "bro." You should be embarrassed to point out someone's incorrect spelling of a word and then follow it up with incorrect punctuation of your own.

You know, I was a dorky looking teenager with a bad haircut, too. How come no marketing genius approached me to make records?

From the waist up it looks like Thor, but from the waist down it looks like random guy wearing leather pants and boots.

Could someone explain why you would need a publisher for a downloadable title? I understand the need for a publisher for a retail release, but what's the benefit for a PSN or XBOX Live release?

After my beautiful white PSP was murdered by a cat and a rogue plate, I am anxiously awaiting my Gamestop exclusive Big Boss PSP bundle. I haven't played any PSP games since Phantasy Star Portable. Sadly, I probably haven't missed much, but I loved my PSP nonetheless.

What the fuck was this, then? And didn't Jaffe confirm a PS3 Twisted Metal via some hidden thing in a PSP game?

@Michael Dukakis: Oooh! Another Mets fan! It's nice to see one. Having just moved from Mets territory into Orioles territory, I miss my daily discussions with my old neighbor about how they did last night. Also miss WFAN. At least my DirecTV package includes NY sports channels.

Why does no one give a shit about testicular cancer the same way they do about breast cancer? I've never seen any bumper stickers, ribbons, fundraisers, etc. to raise awareness of testicular cancer. Or even prostate cancer.
