Wow, 2 weeks in a row of Rock Band dlc I'll be skipping. That might be the first time since I bought the game in December.

Has there been any mention of a release date? I can't wait to get my hands on this.

I've played all 3 games in the series now. I think they were all solid shooters, but I never understood why the Halo series is placed on such a high pedestal. It's a solid shooter, don't get me wrong. I just don't see what's phenomenal about it. I'm glad I bought it, I'm still enjoying it. But there is no way I would even consider this a contender for game of the year. Like I said, I felt the same about Halo and Halo 2.

Samurai Showdown! Where is Samurai Showdown? That was the only Neo Geo game I ever cared for, but man was it fun! I want my fountains of blood!

Yeah...I stopped shopping at Blockbuster when they threatened to send me to collections for a $10 late fee. That was about 9 years ago. I don't miss it.

People actually care about pro-gaming? I know I don't. Given the choice between video games and sports, I'll choose video games every time. Given the choice between watching video games and watching sports, I'll choose sports every time.

The problem with pro-gaming are the kids pictured above. Another problem with pro-gaming is guys using nicknames like Fatal1ty. C'mon, that is seriously tooly.

Pro-gamers have a bad stereotype and for good reason. All the reasons mentioned above my post sum it up nicely.

When did Bob start running EA?

Here's my problem with this whole situation: I can not for the life of me see how it is worth spending extra cash on a dedicated piece of silicon to handle physics alone.

CPUs in a high end gaming system are not the bottle neck. It is still the video card. There are CPU cycles to spare. So...explain to me again why I need a dedicated physics card in order to boost performance?

I agree with Spence. Before the DS vs PSP war started, I thought Nintendo was in trouble. Sure, the DS looked interesting after E3 2004, but it also seemed gimicky. The PSP, on the other hand, was a sexy looking machine that was sure to get all the franchises that made the PS2 big, and show off better looking games than the DS could ever hope for.

Fast forward 1 year, and I am completely wrong. The underpowered DS has managed to practically blow the PSP away with innovative titles, the likes of which we have never seen before. Sure there were some re-hashes (I'm looking at you Mario 64...but I still love you), but original titles won the day. Meanwhile, with a few notable exceptions, most of the PSP's titles ended up being lack-luster.

Point is, I think people are more willing to accept a fresh concept than the media gives them credit for. Now of course no one really knows what will happen in this next generation. Maybe gamers will prove themselves as stubborn as the media believes them to be, opting for shear power over something new and different. But again, looking at what the DS has managed to accomplish when faced with an overpowering opponent, I think it would be silly for anybody to write off the Revolution at this point.
