@Ninja-Blowfish: Zune marketplace is coming to over a dozen countries if I'm not mistaken. I hope it'll be working in the preview, and of course that I get accepted, but that's just as much to find out how they've set the prices as what there'll be to watch. I'm not worried about the speed at all, as I have a

I hope they'll put these on Xbox Live and PSN to download in HD, especially as one "long" movie. #assassinscreedlineage

@2c-b: it's not exactly like they've done such a great job on the console versions of Bad Company and BF:1943 either. Just look at the breaking up of squads, inabilities to even join friends, and all the bugs including the busted voice chat in the PS3 version. #infinityward

I gave away my copy of Frontlines: Fuel of War quite recently because I was done with it, wouldn't get anything for it in stores, am too lazy to sell my crap online and knew a guy who hadn't played it yet. #tud

@HELLSRIDER is doing stuff: Zune = streaming 1080p movies. They want to know if you're using an SDTV, HD ready TV or Full HDTV (if the majority of folks use less than Full HD, they should offer lower res. streaming with matching prices IMO). How you connect your 360 to your TV (a.k.a. if you take advantage of an HD

@Adonai: I will get it, once it's priced far lower than the €65 they want for it right now.

@ddhboy: the tank did look a lot like the ones in Halo, so maybe they'll put an insanely strong guy in there (they could call him Mister Cheef) to win over the Halo fans. Add bunny hopping and they have a winner...

@panikt: if people use Twitter and/or Facebook, this gives them a chance to show their "friends" what they're doing or what they've "accomplished" (in words or pictures) without having to turn on the computer. We're lazy folk, we demand an eject button on DVD players' remotes. We want our gaming systems to tell us

@NervClaX: In the XMB go to the Home icon and press the triangle, then select delete. When that's done, press X on the Home icon and accept everything to re-download, install and reserve space on your HDD again. Once that's done you'll be able to get back into Home, of course you will have to re-download all spaces...

@Sollus: Most games seem to boil down to a handful of things, none of which require much (if any) knowledge of the "story": shoot or 'manually' kill everyone on screen, cross [this] gap, and solve [this] puzzle. If a story isn't needed to get people to buy and complete the game, then why waste time and money on

@JustOneFix: that's happened to me and the two friends I was in a party with last weekend. Really very annoying, but as it never happened to us before, and one of them only recently "returned" on Xbox Live, I can't help but wonder if one person's crap connection can cause such problems for everyone in a party.

@PhatsMahoney: At least there's no hype they'd have to re-start building when they do get around to releasing the game...

@Megamoppy: Jack is really an Agent from the Crackdown-era, so you can jump really far and high to get away after you've killed someone. To stalk the lasses you act like Batman and hide in plain sight on top of conveniently placed gargoyles.

@SPECIALciaNAPKIN: I couldn't get into Home after the update either (not that I really wanted to, but okay). I ended up deleting Home (not the saves though) and then re-installed it from scratch.

@Dead Giveaway: MtlAngelus gave a good answer to your first question. I just wanted to add that you could just download the trial of Defense Grid to see what "regular" tower defense type games are like.

@Slothboy: chastity belts is what I first thought of when I read "beaver defense". Man was I ever disappointed to see it's a tower defense game...

@Hoytzilla: 1) the 360's controller is held differently than the PS3's. Out of the folks I know who got a PS3 after having had their 360 for a while all but one complain about the controller being too small. The one who doesn't had a PS2 before getting his 360.

@yargh: when I got my PS3 I got MGS4, LBP, Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank. I've only regretted paying for LBP as it's nowhere near as fun as people made it out to be. As for God of War 3 and The Last Guardian: I don't care for hack & slash games, and if a trailer can get me to sleep, I don't want the game.

@Bakeroo: Seeing 10/10 ratings make me think back at GTA4 and it's "perfect" scores. How flawless should we expect this to be? Is it the new best game ever? Or are people caught up in the hype of multiplayer and an improved version of an already excellent game?

@fmax: No single game is worth the cost of a console to me, but there are a handful of exclusives that sure make the step/jump easier. Especially with most of those titles being quite cheap nowadays.
