I'm not sure how you missed the racism in the originals. You write that "There are no Mexican stereotypes that I know of that say that Mexican people are super-fast." No, there aren't, but obviously you're completely missing the point. The stereotype is that Mexicans are lazy and slow-moving. The whole reason Speedy Gonzalez was supposed to be a funny concept was that everyone knew that Mexicans were NOT speedy. See what they did there? They created a character who was a contradiction--a "speedy" Mexican. Now that's comedy!

I get my console stuff from Best Buy, pre-orders from whomever has the best deal, and PC stuff from NewEgg.

You completely misunderstood the Capcom guy's comment. He wasn't talking about a single console, he was talking about enabling cross-platform multiplayer to prevent the mp market from being fragmented. For a game like CoD4, there are enough people playing on all platforms so everyone can find populated servers. With smaller games, though, like Frontlines or Team Fortress 2, having two small communities instead of combining them does a disservice to both the game and the gamers who play it. I can't see why either Sony or Microsoft would actually enable devs to create cross-platform mp, but it would certainly help the longevity of niche games.
