From what I've seen it looks pretty nice. But people will always find something to complain about just for the sake of complaining lol.

I've been chugging along in Demon's Souls through the Stonefang Tunnels. Armor Spider, Flamelurker, and Dragon God were surprisingly easy. I'm going to go back through the area to pick up any items I missed before I move on.

I AM GOING TO INVADE YOUR ANUS


You guize getting it on 360 or PS3? A shame you get booted for being in chat while playing the game, would be nice to join someone's game and actually work together.

As much as I'd like to get it day one and get the Collector's Edition upgrade, I'm probably going to wait a bit for a sale. I might do the same with Arkham City too. Just too many damn games coming out around the same time for me to get all of them on release.

yaeh i think i'll go PS3 with it. I'll go out on a limb and guess it's smoother on that console.

Plus i dont feel like getting used to playing it with a different controller. F that noise, it's already hard enough, don't need a extra learning curve lol.

Bloomberg: Xbox As Cable Provider Could Be Unveiled Next Week


Rumors that U.S. cable providers Comcast and Verizon are on the verge of a deal with Xbox 360 to use the console as a cable box have been circulating for weeks. Today Bloomberg joins the crowd, citing their own sources.

The article, which cites people with knowledge of the situation, says that the service could hit as soon as next week. It goes on to describe the streaming service as something that would require people to "prove" they already are customers of Comcast's XFinity or Verizon's FiOS. That makes me think this might be something akin to XFinity TV's iPhone app which allows you to browse and stream free on-demand offerings but not live television.

We'll continue to follow this story as it evolves.

Definitely ready for a 4 day weekend of gaming (fall break M/T) after this hell week of school. I plan on getting some Gears 3, NFS: Hot Pursuit, replay some Uncharted 1, BF3 beta, and possibly some NCAA in, hell maybe even some Halo: Reach and Resistance 3 as well. What's everyone else's weekend gaming plans?
