@mva5580: Look, journalism is tough. It's a constant race to be the first one to report on something bit BUT you also have to maintain credibility. Sometimes this results in rumors getting run (usually tagged as rumors) before all the facts are in. Kotaku always makes a correction if they post a story before it's done

@MCWHAMMER: Didn't their phone bot go by Aeris previously?

Unfortunately, Amazon says I'll LBP on Tuesday. Bah.

With SFIV right around the corner, I doubt I'll be paying more than $10 for this. Maybe a few months back I would have. Maybe I'd pick it up if it were only $10. If they're looking to recoup their losses by raising the price way up, they're going to get a surprise when people pass in favor of waiting for SFIV.

I use Lunarpages and couldn't be happier - Godaddy actually sold a domain they were supposed to transfer to lunarpages for me a while back. They sold it for one helluva profit too. I'll never do business w/ them again. It's amazing those asshats still have any customers.

@EoinJ: by all means, adapt away. Personally, I'm just happy to see my philosophies on game reviewing are well received.

I actually run a gaming blog. If you care after reading this, the link is in my profile.

Even if it isn't "unlock dlc" it's still way overpriced. All the work is done - both of these characters already exist, and to charge five dollars for something like that is just silly. I mean, I'd pay maybe one or two but not five - it's too much for what they're offering.

Actually, I'd say the only question left is what's it gonna cost?

@insanejedi: The big problem I have with that is as follows:

I will bet any one of you any amount of money all three release on the same day. If they don't release the same day, development will conclude at the same time, and the releases will be staggered to give the appearance that the second two campaigns are "expansions" and not "rip offs". I'm really hoping they prove me

@clroen: no, the green box - you know, green - like the color of our money.

yea, I'm still not sold. This is lame. Lame, lame, lame. This was a fiscal move. Until they prove otherwise, I'll continue treating it as such. I stand by my original statement that unless each campaign contains unique maps, and isn't just a rehash of the content in the other two, this is a rip off. I'm still

there had better not be one single recycled asset on any of the three discs. If all the maps are different, and all three campaigns are as long as the three combined campaigns in the first starcraft, then sure, it's worth it. Otherwise, I'll be passing.

@Mister_Jack: Smart money is on a wiretapping minigame.

@Mister_Jack: I would defend him until my dying breath - I would never turn that game off.

@lighten up, morrissey: Nah, that's not Michal Bay's dream - not enough explosions. If it were Michael Bay's dream at least one of those helicopters would be on fire, and there'd be a large explosion (possibly with a mushroom cloud) going off in the background.

@TheTimeisback4Good: I'll play it, but I'll stand still the whole time, and let the extremists have at them

..... am I tasked w/ protecting McCain, or Obama? The answer will determine whether I'm interested in this game.

@What The Geek: and before anyone jumps on me for that comment, let me clarify - yea, they're MORE successful in Japan, however, to say they've reached a 10 percent level of globalization is silly - I don't know a gamer in any region where video games are sold that is unaware of Squenix. Obviously, I'm not privy to
