Looks ok, the physics stuff looks cool but I'm not so impressed by the Euphoria "AI". It seems like there are only a couple of canned responses depending upon the scenario. How is grabbing a box that is flying away from you smart? Also bouncing a Storm Trooper off a Tie Fighter is fun, but why does it explode? That's a little silly. I think the more "realistic" games get, the more these things stand out(uncanny valley and all that)

Are you kidding me? This is journalism? At least put a question mark in the title.

"Keep an eye out for [Pandemic's] next release, Mercenaries 2, coming to Xbox 360 and PS3, as well as some cool announcements in the coming months." IGN may have made a mistake there, but we doubt it. So there you have it, it looks like Mercenaries 2 is definitely headed to our favorite curvy, white box"

So...."IGN may have made a mistake"...you "doubt it"...and now Mercs 2 is "definitely" coming to the XBOX 360. Yes, the chances are high and I for one would be thrilled. I'm looking more forward to that game than GTA IV BUT...you don't have the facts to back up your statements. Just seems like a cheap way to drive traffic to the site.

Thanks Player1. No, I'm going to the store to swap the console and if they give me crap I'm raising hell until I get a new box.
(Best Buy has a horrible service reputation. When I worked for Dyson, I heard stories that would make your hair curl)

cheers,

I have the same problem. Also happens from time to time on Rainbow Six: Vegas which makes me think it's the console. I have placed the console vertically and horizontally, made sure it's well ventilated, etc. I'm sending my 360 back to Best Buy for a replacement(thank god for the PRP plan). Anyone know if you can send discs back to the manufacturer for replacement if you tossed the receipt?

You guys rock my f'ing socks off

No CableCARD for me, but the TV box will make a nice house for my cats.

I don't know anybody who owns an Xbox 360
