Doesn't work if you live in Canada btw. Read the fine print - it's only available in the US.

Given the poor gameplay of the first game, I will be staying away from this one. Any game that respawns you in a wall or respawns you in a section that you can't fly through is simply poor game design. What's worse, is that you have to sit there waiting for all your ships to "die" as you can't do anything else. Bad Game. Bad Design. And certainly not worth a giving a second chance to a sequel.

Are you kidding! People think 250 gig of space is too much. Umm, you do know that there are portable external hard drives that are 1TB and 2TB's out there no

Looks like a PSP game - definately not PS3. If the game can be played on the PSP; then I might pick it up.

I have no problem with the store not being uploaded on time; however, I do have a problem with Sony's lack of informing the gaming community of what is going on. Granted, they posted a twitter message (criptic at best) - but that was well late into the evening PST time. It would have been nice to have a message that indicated when they anticipate the store update to occur.

Are you people actually that suprised? This is Microsoft afterall. You know, the same company that thinks that by removing all connection cords from the new Elite system, it becomes a selling point for consumers - something that is akin to buying a car only to find out that the engine has been removed in order to make it "flexible" for consumers. Hah!

But in all seriousness, I don't understand the need or desire for anyone to be able to access facebook and twitter on their Xbox. That's certainly now why I purchased a gaming console for. If I want to use facebook and twitter, I'll use a computer thank you very much.

Finally - someone with intelligence on here :) I completely agree with you. Sony's attempt to justify the price drop is simply absurd. The price drop came about because of (i) abysimal sales; (ii) economic recession; (iii) less disposable income from consumers; and (iv) the overall market. To suggest otherwise simply is absurd and, if anything, really shows just how out of touch this company is.

If your in Canada - don't get too excited as this service is not available for us at launch in December. And if you read through the US playstation blog, it doesn't sound like its going to be available for quite some time - if ever. And Sony wonders why people install CFW on their systems.

I'll be getting this game regardless of whether or not it was originally intended as a Castlevania game. Why? Because the story is intriquing; the gameplay looks promising; and the voice actors are top knotch. What's not to like?

And to head off all the whiners who will compare this game to God of War because of Gabriels moves with his whip. Who cares!
