I know it will never happen, but it would be awesome if all games used stuff like this for their financing. Meaning the game is completely free and nothing you can buy gives you an advantage, but there's just a ton of paid customization options. It would be heaven for a Cheap Ass like me.

There are several skins that are unlocked by playing.

You just summed up all the comments on Cheap Ass Gamer. And that was the thread for XBox deals of the week.

I don't understand why someone would pay to have their gun look a little different, but Gears has that option too. It's one of those things that someone will want and will make them more money that they can implement without affecting the people who aren't interested.

I'm not really into the whole "fairness" thing :P

Are those brussel sprouts or some sort of wrap?

I was just thinking that. First Bondi, now this.

I would trust beer around my stuff more than college kids.

I like the idea of Rock Band karaoke. It could make for a pretty successful theme bar in an American college town. Other than the huge pain in the ass and expense of replacing the instruments on a regular basis.

I want Melt Banana. The entirety of Cell-Scape would be so awesome.

It's cool. I figured that's what was going on.

Damn, they must have been nearly sold out when I checked.

Amazon sells console games. Lots of other online retailers as well.

Do you have something against buying online?

Maybe, but it does say "lifetime unit shipment numbers" not 2K sales.

Civilization did come out 20 years ago, as opposed to only 4 for Bioshock. Given the 16 years of extra sales time, two million more isn't very much.

Dat ass!

Bulletstorm isn't actually an "online" pass. Multiplayer is still available without it, it unlocks additional Echoes.

Gamestop's price for Tiger Woods is ridiculous. It's $16.77 new at Amazon for the 360.

NBA 2K11 was a lightning deal yesterday.
