I just finished this game last night. Voice acting was knida corny; character animations were not the best, but the story was so good and the environments were so unique and extremely well done that it ranks among my all time favorites. Definitely worth the $30.

I had specifically planned NOT to buy this game. To many games and not enough time. I haven't unlocked everything in Forza 2 yet. Then I played the demo. Is there a pre-order bonus? ;-)

Totally agree. I'm getting realy tired of this color pallett.

How about a gelatenous tennis game, kind of like the volleyball game that came out for Windows PDAs years ago?

Does access to Netflix require a gold account, or will silver do?

Best handheld game device? Not a chance! Best handheld game device I can carry in my pocket and not have people notice? Perhaps. Best game device a guy in a business suit can whip out at the airport without feeling a little conspicuous. Yeah, probably.

Anybody else notice how bored everybody else in the picture looks? Guess they'd me more excited if it was them gettin' the money!

On the one hand, I see "gold" as paying for the ability to do multiplayer on line, not download a demo "first". On the other hand, silver members, such as myself, are probably not so hardcore that they can't wait an extra week. It won't bother me any to wait. Might even save me a d/l or two if something gets bad reviews during that week.

Anybody else feel like they don't get nearly as long out of a charge of the slim as they did with the fat? I feel like I am recharging twice as often.

Looks like I'll be getting my share of the loss. RROD hit my 360 this weekend.
