umm....hello?

...actually, MS needs to do what Square did, only wayyyyyy better. Think Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children rather then The Spirits Within. The "Halo Wars" trailer would be an excellent starting point for a Halo movie...why does it have to be with real people?? They should definitely make Halo an animated feature film.

@6 ...and HOW many tube/sdtv's HAVE a VGA input, moron?

@9 ...regarding GoW, their color palette AND character/costume design was a poor choice for determining friend vs. foe, and I have a 60" sony sxrd screen. I can't tell you how many times I shot my cpu comrades (or coop buddies) thinking they were the enemy. of course, then there are the times when you DO want to shoot your incompetent AI comrades (like when an enemy walks right in front of them and they act like they don't see it and the enemy kills you, whereas 90% of the time when you're not around you can see/hear them kill an enemy with their chainsaw)....

@8 ...get a bigger HDTV...= )...(j/k)...

in Dead Rising, you could make out the text when it first loaded, but then it went fuzzy as the screen grew brighter (on 27" tube/sdtv at my brother's), so I wonder if it was brightness settings (either in game programming or for the tv--which I wasn't able to check at the time)...however, no problem on the 60" screen.

haven't d/l'ed the new Lost Planet demo yet (ms's servers were too busy with demand for HD movies/tv downloads), but if I get a chance I'll fill in how it looked on a larger screen.

awesome....live co-op...done deal. never played the arcade version though. hopefully the Wii will offer the NES version, then I can have both!!!!

@3 Draco-
You're confusing Konami with EA. = )

@9 yessss....Nintendo Thumbitis...back when you didn't have auto-rapid-fire.

@6 the NES version is probably superior, IMO, but to be honest since I never played the arcade version, it's hard to say...either way, without the code it's probably still a difficult game.

you people fail to realize that stocks are more of a long-term investment (barring all the wannabe day-trader investors)....having said that, I've had stock in NTDOY for about 5 years now, and they pay some REALLY nice dividends (earlier this year they had higher than estimated earnings, which translated into a $1 (USD) per share increase...the original per share dividend was something like $2.19 and increased to $3.37 (roughly))...which is great because I use it for Income distributions.

Zac-
and buying/selling stocks for ALL foreign (and domestic) is a hassle....what about your capital gains and losses? blah blah...

and actually, if you're REALLY smart, you'd be buying shares of Sony, because while they are taking a beating and their stock is declining, you can buy the shares at a discount (as opposed to Nintendo because you are paying a premium when it is at a higher markup), because eventually the shares SHOULD go up (assuming that Sony doesn't go bankrupt/out of business, of course).

best yet, just buy shares of the stock market cap indexes, because they tend to outperform individual stocks anyways over the years due to excellent diversification.

For those of you who don't think the game is worth $40/50/60 dollars and download a pirated version of it instead, YOU are the @$$HOLES that cause the game to COST $40/50/60 dollars....because they have to charge a higher cost to the people who legitamately buy the game. And I hope you all become waiters at a restaurant who never get tipped, then you'll understand why you should pay people for their hard work/effort. f***ers.
