Actually, even though most rap "artists" are black, the single largest group of listeners are white teenage boys. How about that.

May I remind you that this is the first Xbox and not the 360 being portrayed as a shoe?

I don't want to win so I guess that means I wouldn't be helped either way.

Apologize my spelling, I'm lazy.

It's not the lag, it's the horrendous implementation of co-op that saddens me. I mean at least the online co-op should be like Halo 3 or Crackdown where you can freely walk around in the same area as your frined now you're confined to a single crappy camera view.

No, Zune is actually a good product, despite Apple fanboys trashtalking it.

1v100 has been on the agenda for a long time so nothing about this is exactly news for anyone. Except the Canadian beta that is. Go Canada!

1v100 was actually supposed to be released with the NXE but it was delayed until spring 2009 for development reasons.

I'm really looking forward to it, don't see how they'll fund the prizes though...entrance fees would be a game-killer.

They said:

"decisions made by the player in the first game will continue to have influences on their character in the sequel."

Basically, it will simply recognize what you did in ME and adapt some parts of the story to fit those choices. It does in no way indicate that you will specifically play as Shepard in ME2.

I agree, this video shows just how much more fun "western" games are compared to J-RPGs like Final Fantasy. I really don't like turn-based combat.

It hasn't helped the PS3 achieve any better visuals than the 360 yet.
Current games take a lot less space than a Dual Layer DVD, the only advantage in the Blu Ray capacity so far is in the audio quality.
More room = Higher quality (i.e. less compressed) audio files.

A huge disadvantage with Blu-Ray is the slow reading and subsequent need to install games before being able to play at all, compared to the 360 with which it's a choice, not something forced upon you.
