I may have gotten my copy before they started removing it, but I got my OnLive voucher from GameStop. I am still never purchasing another product from them, regardless. I'll have to cancel some pre-orders, but oh well.

In all fairness, both of the Halo videos posted above were already after they started game development and were far beyond JUST a concept video.

Bah. I'm sick of all this console rivalry BS. There are many points you can make about all the consoles. Like the Wii is meant for casual gamers and little kids, and costs less, so it sells well. sure, great. The 360 used to have tons of RROD issues and now it seems pretty stable, but is primarily successful in the US, especially the japanese market isn't catching on that well, that and microsoft charges a lot for game and accessory licensing. The PS3 didn't have that many games at first, but eventually got some amazing first party titles and most of the features people complained about not having were finally added(in game XMB, rumble, I hardly care for either).

Everybody is going to buy the console they are going to buy, simple as that. I personally chose the PS3, for various reasons. I like how Sony kept it open to install any OS I wanted, I put Linux on anything I can(including my DS), the best part of that is I can run console emulators on it, great first and 3rd party games, tons of included feature(blu-ray, bluetooth, hard drive, wifi, gigabit ethernet, hdmi), looks great with my glossy black TV.

I didn't get a Wii because there is maybe one or two games I'd really sit down and play for more than a couple hours, graphics are sub-par, and the motion sensing doesn't seem quite perfect yet. Maybe the next version of it I'll pick up if they get better games.

I also didn't get a 360 because there just are games for it that I can't get on the PS3, or eventually the PC. The netflix doesn't mean anything to me, I can plug my laptop into HDTV and stream netflix to it. And I don't see how people say the 360 is so much cheaper when to get a model thats(almost) comparable to the features of the PS3 you need to spend the same amount($400 for the elite, then another $100 for wifi), but still no HD disc or gigabit ethernet.

Ok, so that was longer than expected and I'm sure I'll be called a Sony fanboy. But I do have a DS instead of a PSP, so :P.

In the words of Invader Zim... Gimme!

I love me some Metal Gear Solid :)
