@Selma Blair: It's not that you think it looks cool, it's that you think it'll sell like freakin' hotcakes and you think the Sony one is pure crap and will sell poorly, despite the fact they ultimately do almost the same thing, and Sony has shown more fun things to do with theirs.

@Selma Blair: Wow, do you work for MS? A few million units at launch? You must be crazy. Hold me to it in November. It'll sell a few hundred thousand at best. Sony won't be that much further off.

@oosiegewolfoo: Lol, one month...I haven't had a math class since '04.

@Sparx: Then watch ESPN or ESPN2. That's what those are there for. ESPN360 is for anything and everything. It's all encompassing, kinda why it's called 360.

@radar2670: They force you to use them? Is MS making/releasing less games because of this? No. So stfu about it.

@murph: I agree. If they offered NBA League Pass I'd be ecstatic. Even if it was for $100 per season.

@Huckleberry: Local games will 100% not be aired. I'd bet $500 on that. If they somehow were able to put local games on there, I'd seriously be willing to spend $20 a month on it.

@GiddyGiddy: That would be awesome, even if you had to pay for it.

@alaCarter: Why are you spending so much on it?

@Jagosix: ESPN does not air the Super Bowl nor the NBA Finals. I highly doubt they'll air these on XBL and I don't see why it matters since those events air for free on ABC and CBS/NBC.

@oosiegewolfoo: Your math is so wrong. It's between 2.5-3 hours a day. And those people who watch that much TV daily have their priorities out of wack too.

@DocSeuss: That's pretty much how the dialogue seems the entire game.

@Bialia: I immediately thought of FFX. The whole "Praise be to Yevon" and the blasphemous Al-Bhed who use machina was a brilliant plot device. A great example of using religion in a game that somewhat mirrors life without being preachy or anti-religious.

The absolute best use of religion I've seen in a game was in FFX. The fundamentalists who believed in Yevon and the blasphemous Al-Bhed who used machina (technology). The way that whole thing played out was awesome and realistic to life.

@DocSeuss: You must be insane to think MW2 had good writing or a good plot.

@Owosso: My exact thoughts. MW2 was terrible in terms of story and writing.

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?!?! MW2 for best writing? That game had terrible writing and a terrible plot. No way this should be on there.

@Tre_Green: I never heard of them until they were on Conan last night and you're right, they are awful.

If the average person is spending 18 hours a week playing video games then people really need to get their priorities together. That sounds like a lot to me.

@KamikazeSim: I hear people say the PS2 was poorly made from time to time but I don't get it. It worked great for the vast majority of people for years. I had 2 PS2s because my launch one finally got the disc read error, but it wasn't that bad. It was still a quality machine I'd say. Disc read error was not nearly
