I will check this out after my smoke break!

Yes, that is correct. One of the main reasons I wanted to slap the reviewers at 1up for giving Ninja Gaiden such a crappy review that translated to metacritic as a 67. A sixty freakin seven! Lame.

I buy most of my gaming gear at Best Buy or Gamer Zone with an occasional import via the internetz.

This puppy would look purdy next to my 360.

Thanks Joystiq for never hording your stash!

Yay! Sloppy leftovers and the most gimped version of all can be yours for the low low price of $60 bones.

But hey you get "5 maps" while the other versions get hundreds. But don't worry Microsoft/Epic will give you those maps as well.. for a fee.

"If I wanted to play a bunch of FPSs and sports games, I would have just stuck with 360."

Funny you say that after ranting about the 360 having all the JRPG's. Face it, that is no longer a valid statement. The 360 has the most diverse library of games this gen so far.

Agreed Johnathan. Is this site really run by 360 fanboys because it doesn't seem like it. You know PS3fanboy would take this opportunity to shoot one across the bow of the SS Xbox 360.

A video is the big Gears 2 surprise in UT3? Color me underwhelmed.

No thanks. Not even going to bother with UT3 this late in the game and with being the most gimped version of them all and still charging $60.00.

"The new interface is not only a significant improvement over the previous offering, it's by far the best digital store on the three consoles so far."

Uh, no. I'm sorry. Once the PSN get's as much content as XBL it will have the same problems. Now instead of scrolling thru lists of names like on XBL I can to scroll thru little icon pictures on the PSN (that take forever to load and sometimes don't load at all). Sorry but "by far" is such a load of crap, it's not even "as good" yet.

Why does that screenshot you provide remind me of "Inside Xbox" on the 360? Hrmmm..

Geoffrey where are you getting your information?

1. If the PS3 get's any DLC it will not be in the form of episodic content and nothing on the level of the 360. MS didn't give them 50mil for something that will just in turn be released on the PS3.

2. The PS3 does not have a larger marketshare now. It is about 4-6million behind the 360.

I am personally disappointed by this announcement. By all means Take2 and MS overpromise and underdeliver yet again. If this comes out anywhere near Nov-Dec there is no way I will drop the coin on it when there are so many other titles coming out.
