Game of the Year 2009 for me. I just finished a 4 hour marathon of co-op with 2 of my best friends, and, this is the ultimate game to play coop in. This game is much, MUCH better than I ever expected, and, I am glad I bought this day one.
To be honest, i'm very upset I missed the chance to check out the Zune HD at Best Buy (I had to work). I'm not going to be replacing my iPod Touch anytime soon though (I just got it 6 months ago). I'm definately not band loyal, and, if Zune makes a better product by the time my iPod Touch dies, I'll get that, but, I've had an iPod since the 60GB Video iPod came out, and, it took over 3 years for it to finally stop working correctly.
I think my only concern is that all my friends with Zunes had powering off issues, but, I'd still give Zune a shot. :)
To be honest, I like the ability to use normal batteries in my gaming controllers. I have regular old AA rechargeable batteries, so, cost isn't an issue. I'd just be afraid of the internal battery going bad and having to spend another $40 - $60 on a whole new controller (I don't have a PS3, yet, so I'm not sure of the exact price on those controllers. Slim is really making me think about picking one up finally.)
the rechargeable battery packs are cool and all, but, I learned the hard way that the Microsof ones suck unless you have the charge station, and not the play and charge kit. Those wires not only stop working after a few weeks, but they also ruin the batteries. after my 2nd play and charge kit in 4 months, i went back to my old rechargeable AAs (not to mention, the controller that came with the Arcade I bought while my Elite was out for repair doesn't even work with the rechargeable 306 batteries. The contacts on the controller are bad :()
