Poke them hard Mike. We need some answers for the lack of a PSN demo. Is MS spending money just so that they can repeat the word "exclusive" in as many occasions as they can? Looks so to me.

I am in the beta and I think Home has a lot of potential, although it's still missing things that should be there. I had quite a crack with idiotic avatar dancing, that is awesome, LOL. But Sony should start adding more options for avatar characterization. Nothing there has even a minor resemblance to my real person.…

They were a lot of games missing from that list, but the games included weren't half bad.

I think it's pretty good they're offering the save given that they are on their own on the Wii (they can't offer an online patch thanks to Nintendo's non-existing online infrastructure). It sucks if it happens to you, but who would in all honesty expect an exchange or recall of the software discs anyway?

Nice bundle. Too bad Prince of Persia plays better with a Dual Shock controller IMO.

So $130 regular MSRP for a DSLite + $20 regular MSRP for Brain Age = $150 regular price if the two were bought separately. Why is the blue version called "bundle" again?

@Orionsaint: I heard the same stories about Legend and I spent around 20 hours to finish it on my leisure. Either you're just playing for speed runs without appreciating anything at all, or I am a way too lousy player. Either way, all you're telling us is you ran your $60 out at a rate of $10/hour.

@Mact: I don't like Mario Kart Wii nearly as much as I like Metroid Prime 3. Wii Sports is a given. Wii Play, not so much.

@dae_giovanni: Good for you. But it doesn't make my list, sorry.

I haven't been in Home for too long, but one thing I can testify to is that the character creation tool isn't as good as the Mii creation tool. I'm having a hard time making my Home character look anything at all like me. Also, the camera needs some work. Other than these minor issues, I'm enjoying it so far.

There are many examples that Nintendo (read: NOA) is at fault when it comes to Wii hardcore titles, but I will concentrate on only 2:

I think Nintendo just realized what their market is and is pushing the shovelware to people who love it that way. I think it's pretty hypocritical to blame third parties when you're promoting shovelware and completely ignoring AAA pieces like Chrono Trigger, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, etc.

Replace Mario Kart with Metroid Prime 3, Puzzle Quest with LostWinds, and Link's Crossbow Training with Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and you got a great list.

I saw this last week and almost bought a second PS3 to myself.

I see that PETA has no issues with human killing games, but God forbid cooking dead animal parts....

Nothing for me here. But those previous console deals are nice for people who missed a whole console generation.

For the past 2 years EGM hasn't had anything of substance, and most of their reviews are useless. I stopped subscribing to it this year and got Game Informer instead. GI seemed to have better coverage of the games I liked. Gotta say, I miss the humor of EGM though. GI is for the most part dull. I also agree that Edge…

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: I agree with ya. Resident Evil 2-3, Silent Hill 1, Parasite Eve 1-2, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy VII-IX, Metal Gear Solid, and at least the full PS1 Greatest Hits list should've been here a long time ago...

-"Hi. You got Gears of War 2?"

@Woden501: I don't see other retailers doing that, and they have much more expensive merchandise to sell too (i.e. BestBuy, CircuitCity, etc). That explanation doesn't hold any water.
