We can't be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we'll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix's Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week.

Joystiq Box Office has been away for a couple of weeks due to BlizzCon and other supernatural events, but we're back with a vengeance for the PAX edition. Double up, pop some corn, and enjoy the three-day weekend.


Recommendations of the Week:

Mad Men: Season 3 - My Old Kentucky Home (PSN: $2.99 HD or $1.99 SD to own)
If you haven't been watching AMC's Mad Men, then you've been missing out on the cultural phenomenon that's making everyone wish they were living back in the early 1960s. Men wore suits and fedoras and had three-martini lunches, and women wore dresses and enough underwear to construct an entire parachute. Don Draper has replaced James Bond as the cool man every guy wants to be ... and he's a freaking ad executive. Highly recommended.


World's Greatest Dad (840 HD, 560 SD to rent)
This movie ran the festival circuit and had a lot of good buzz, which is rare for a Robin Williams movie these days. I missed this when I was at Sundance, but enough of my movie-going critic friends loved it that I feel comfortable recommending it. It's a black comedy starring Williams, is directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, and had a small theatrical opening on August 21. Now you can already watch it on Xbox Live. Not too shabby. Maybe we're not too far away from theater and at-home release dates being the same day all the time.

Read for the full list on a system-by-system basis just after the break. As usual, we'll see you at the popcorn st ... well, actually we won't see you at all. But you catch our drift. Plus, be sure to tell us what you'll be watching, or what you've seen recently that bowled you over.

Please, please, we know it's just a trademark, but don't let Mad Men the video game ever come to pass as reality. Superannuation came across the trademark recently, registered by Lionsgate, and wrote that it didn't know how to feel about this revelation. We'll give you an idea how to feel: Terrified!

Well, let's take a second to consider the possibilities: a video game based on folks at Sterling Cooper will either be a cheap casual game or a full-blown advertising simulator. We hope for the latter, but our instinct leans toward a cheap cash-in. As fun as the idea of an advertising simulator featuring the cast sounds, please Lionsgate, leave the complex drama in its Emmy-winning format. Plus, let's face it, it'll take next-next-gen technology to capture Joan Holloway's curves without jaggies.
