@BiggunSid: Absolutely - was I the only one HAPPY to hear Dark Souls is going to be harder than Demon's Souls?

Just picked these up last week - very cool to see this is news!

I'll happily pay $300, grudgingly pay $400, and balk at $500.

Ugh. I think sports games should have their own category and not be up for GOTY.

The real dick move is Koblovsky throwing a tantrum, and writing "Activision Threatens to Pull PSN Support" even though it was just some support dude who made a hypothetical statement, in an OBVIOUS attempt to get the guy in trouble with his employer, just because he didn't get his ass kissed when he wrote an email…

@Graham: Well put - I actually kind of agree. His comment wasn't even all that harsh - if he has started going all Mel Gibson or something, I'd say, sure, why not.

@nifsmash: I have used an iPhone and I heartily agree with the OP.

I'm fully satisfied with my DS lite. I may upgrade to XL, but the 3D fad can't die quickly enough IMO.

Give us HDMI out like the new smartphones and this would WIN. Include some form of connectivity to the internet so the games can be bound to an account and don't have to be on the device, and this could be an amazing thing. I think of how much better hotel stays and family visits could get...

@Trai_Dep: You know what's even worse than that? Not controlling my own contract. You know what is worse than that? Watching underskilled d-bags earning more than other, very skilled peers because they have more shipped titles. Unionize and we will see merit have nothing to do with pay - it will all be about years…

@TheGreenMan: To answer your question in a not too specific way - I am over 30 and have a family.

@TheGreenMan: I'm not going to get specific enough to ID myself to my employer, but I'll tell you enough to debunk the road I think you are about to go down: I'm over 30.

I'll add this: as a game developer, I have come to accept a certain about of crunch. If I work 60 hours a week for a month or two a couple times a year (yes, that sometimes means 4 of the 12 months are 60 hours a week) that is to be expected.

@Trai_Dep: As a game developer, I strongly disagree. Unionizing would ruin the financial meritocracy that is found in many of the better studios. I have family in the film industry and I would abhor to see that crap going on in the game industry.

Kind of random thing to "succeed" at, but OK.

As a gamer, I am pleased. As a rational human being with some business sense, I am confused...

@Nexus6: Nah, that would be downright silly - it's a cube.

@shimage: Agreed, it is tough being an atheist in the US. I pretty much just don't talk about my beliefs.

I will buy!!!

@MrGOH: No silly it is $22.22
