I liked his answer about release dates and the development cycle. However, I don't think the issue there lies completely with the publisher or marketing setting an unreasonable goal. I feel that game studios need a better structure for their development cycles. Look at 3D Realms, for example. They operated for over 10 years and their only deadline was "when it's done". After Bungie's snafu with making Halo 2, they significantly changed the way that they made games by setting deadlines, lots of playtesting, and giving themselves enough time.

Anyone want to send one of those copies of L4D2 my way?

What's up with the whole skull-on-your-faceplate thing every video game is doing? MW2, Reach, and now this?

You can't see in the dark...

This is the only statistic that I didn't like in the press conference. I feel like it is very misleading without more information. If the original drop per 100 was 4 (in reality, it is probably much higher), then you have a phone that drops 25% more calls, and that is a serious problem.

Hopefully they won't hold it incorrectly...

I've bought the most-expensive editions of past Halo games, but I am probably just going to get the standard edition for Reach. Bungie sorta forgot the most important part of a limited edition game, the 'Making of' DVD.

I don't know where something like this would fit in my life. If I wanted to watch something on the internet on a TV, I could connect my laptop to my TV with one cord and be fine. I already have a DVR; I don't see where this would make my content-viewing experience any better.
