@pekosROB: When I got Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (might have missed a few adjectives), it was about $80.

A term like "Rocktober" is something you should be more embarrassed if you created, than if you just copied it. #brutallegend

@nukee: Thanks, I wasn't sure. And considering all the horror stories I've heard about Xbox failures, I didn't want to take a chance.

When my PS3's bluray drive went on me, I could only download games while waiting for the box to return it arrived.

Geez, I thought I had waiting long enough when I got the Rock Band 1 bundle for $80, without the second game. #rockband

It's not bait and switch, that would imply Apple isn't already known for charging way too much for anything.

@BryanH: This, definately. Before playing Resident Evil, my games were all NES/SNES, and as scary as Friday the 13th for NES was, nothing in games compared to this.

I don't think multiplayer is unique enough from game to game. If new games are going to be bought primarily for online battles, why would somebody buy it when they could just play Halo online or COD? While this strategy might prevent people from trading in games, it will stop them from buying as many new ones, since…

From the photo I thought the phone was only halfway in and thought, its not too bad. Then I checked the links and realized that no, that phone is fully inserted, and its really that big.

@Manu_otaku: I agree with you, but I'd take Punch Out and Mario Kart off the list, they have been much better in previous versions. I get the same satifaction from playing Punch Out on an emulator than on the Wii.

I don't own a Wii, and probably won't unless I find a refurb pretty cheap. But the reviews for this seemed pretty exciting.

If winning means I don't have to pay $50 for Xbox Live Gold, then I'm okay with that. Also, if it means paying for DLC with actual money instead of Microsoft Points, okay as well.

Can't watch the video, my work computer doesn't do video so well. But if Sony wins means not paying for online access like XBL Gold, and charging real money for downloads instead of MS Points, I'm all for it.

@Hori: I was thinking the same. I remember paying between $40 and $50 for games when I was younger. While games are a little higher now, they haven't increased the same ways other things have. I got my first NES for $80 (no game), meaning new games were about half what the system was.

If you want to distinguish between what Polanski did, and some violent serial rapist, fine. The serial rapist is 100% evil, and what Polanksi did was 97% evil. They're different, but it doesn't matter that much.

@mellowspaz: Good to know. I was wondering if this actually provides anything the old PSP didn't. Otherwise, I imagine it would be best to just buy an old PSP at the cheaper price. I mean if the only difference was the aesthetics and no UMD support, go with the old one. Even if you never use discs, its still…

I was pretty young when "Bad Dudes" came out, and even then I thought, wow, this is cheesey. I appreciate the reference now and then, but I don't think I'd actually want to play it again.

@yourcitylovesyou: I agree, I was having a disc read error on PS3, and while I was waitng for Sony to send me my box, all I could do was download games. I wasn't going to buy any since I wasn't guaranteed they wouldn't be erased, so I just downloaded demos. Some of these games were games I would never even had…

Maybe if HBO or some other channel would continuously play "Ninth Gate" people will back off the genius director remarks.

@teke367: As for the graphics, the backgrounds look real nice (not sure if that is a compliment or an insult), but they characters can look like something out of an Atari game if they deliver on the "every decision matters" promise, and the whole "story continues even if you die" aspect. That is what interests me.
