cool story bro.

oh shit...please tell me you arent youk

no they won't, I play tf2 for steam and follow tf2 daily or so. there will be no update for ps3 or 360, the amount of data they would need to add new weapons and maps and hat would be insane. plus, there is no incentive to add them as they already have a cash cow in the pc market with steam.

I'm not concerned so much about a TF2 update (I have it on PC also) as I am about trophy support for The Orange Box and the ability to move use the Steam cloud to switch between the two versions of the games seamlessly. I think those features should be relatively simple to implement.

LOL at "close to the 360/PS3". The last I heard they said it had graphics close to the Wii, which is closer to PS2.

We actually talked about this briefly on the podcast and I think we all agreed it is $50 too much so you might be in the minority. You and all the Japanese that are lining up for blocks to pre-order.

I went off what wikipedia and some sites were going with but they don't even have the true specs for it yet. People thought they were going with an nvidia chipset but nintendo is flat out denying it.

The PSP for example was $250 ($299 at the time for us canadians) when it was first released.

Im pretty sure the PSP is overpriced as well. With its shitty game collection and horrible service it should be $100.

My whole thing is you would think with the whole xbox 360 red ring thing that paying a little bit more might be worth it.

The same people that bitch about it being over priced would be the same people that bitch about the thing breaking easily if it were made cheaper to bring the cost down.

That's a very good point, although MS obviously wasn't worrying about saving anyone any money when the 360 released. It was $400 and built like a turd.

The thing with handheld/portable devices, anything over $200 tends to make people apprehensive. I thought the PSP was too expensive when it released too. I didn't even buy it. A buddy bought it for me as a birthday gift.

Trust me I'd rather have it be $150 and break then $250 and not break. I'd take my chances of it breaking.

Starting Jan. 25 Xbox 360 gold members will be able to check out a Crysis 2 muttiplayer demo. The demo will include the Skyline map and two game modes: Team Instant Action and Crash Site. The first is essentially team death match, the second has you fighting for control of alien drop pods. No word on a demo for other platforms.

This statement bothers me.

Yeah, I don't really agree with it either.

Replace people with cheap asses.

Got NBA Jam from gamefly. I've played 3 games, and I'm sort of bored with it. Really wish there was another NBA Street, instead of this remake.

So I drunk drove on GT5 last night with my G27 steering wheel and put a lap on the Nurburgring in my M3 that was 20 seconds faster than my best sober lap. WTF.

 

[Aso]

Just pre-ordered Homefront and Twisted Metal!

 

[IamMedellin]

From what I'm hearing, the Single Player is great but the Multiplayer is so-so.

Think Bioshock 2 MP and less UC2 MP.

It's there and playable but it doesn't set the world on fire either; More than likely, the MP will die out as soon as everyone gets the trophies for it.

...barring hacks and whatnot. :headbang:
