I'd be more sad at how that Alan wake disc was seamlessly reduced to a fancy beer coaster.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! This shit never happens for me on the PS3 when I had to sit the console on the side in a hurry while SSFIV was running. Just amazing... Though unless you live in an earthquake prone territory how often would any one need to lift or even move the console. Would a slight jarring still cause the 360 to chew up discs faster than a cheap old VHS player would to tapes?

I know it was directed towards bleck but I have to say this isn't usually the case for some 360 haters; or in my case at least. Thing is I actually enjoy using M$ products except for the 360 on the basis that it shouldn't exist. All this gaming concentration should have been focused on PC gaming. Considering they (M$) bothered to create the system, could have very well created comp parts under the M$ brand and drive said parts to become cheaper priced but high quality. This could have help spurn more gamers into not only building their own systems but also expand PC gaming in general. I can understand if certain games from Ninty or Sony not overlapping but when a system such as the 360 exists where the PC could easily out do it as well as (usually had been the case) have titles that are better than the console version (TF2 oh so very much relevant) I'm finding my self asking why bother? tl;dr - I dislike inferior products. Strangely enough in regards to connection issues with the PSN, I can easily find people complaining about Live services being just as bad. I suspect it has more to due with the owner's ISP/modem/router hardware than the actual services of either PSN or LIVE.

If they break in a matter of a month or two I'd like to know what the fuck were those chip sets/what the fuck are the owners doing. A bigger shame out of it all is that the D-pad looks like it has not changed one bit.

I'm trying dood! Engadget article Shack News article Here's a laundry list of the newer version's detail. However one issue that I'd consider debatable on being worth while is the silly ESPN deal. I wish I could get rid of the espn channels if it means a cheaper bill... Fucking hate ESPN with a passion that burns brighter than the number of suns that could possibly exist.

Hmm... How big can a file be if I wanted to transfer it to the dropbox? One of the things that gets me annoyed about Mediafire or sendspace is that I'm limited to how much I can tranfer at once. In the case of both mentioned services it would be 100MB, unless I start paying upon which of course that limit cap is lifted. If it can't allow me to drop off more than 100MB under free terms I don't see it being that much different from the other services...

I love a good xbox bashing as the next guy but hey here's some new stuff on the latest system edition... Hmm... That's some heavy plastic surgery for the 360

Curiously how much do they often go for? also I agree with your assessment of it being nothing more than a soundbite. Also it seems that M$'s pet project will be released around November.

Hmm... Now this is rather interesting... Looks like M$ did something right; enough so that it was awesome enough for CdS to do something. Wonder what the hell they're going to do with it...

Not so much on Cirque du Soliel, but the reasoning behind using them arbitrarily. Why not get some Wushu performers while they're at it? In any rate... http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/06/natal-outed-as-kinect-while-360-slim-rumor-gains-speed.ars USA Today revealed this list of Kinect games: * Kinectimals: A virtual 'big cat' trainer that lets you train and play with 20 different feline members of the animal kingdom, including tigers, lions and cheetah. * Kinect Sports: Microsoft's answer to Wii Sports, Kinect Sports features table tennis, boxing, bowling, soccer, beach volleyball, and track and field; all controlled using your body. * Joyride: This one looks to be a kart-style racer—grip your hands on an imaginary steering wheel and use your foot for the gas and brakes. * Kinect Adventures: This game combines a river raft simulator (recently seen on Youtube) and obstacle course for up to four players. Rafting works in pairs, with players working together and moving in the same direction to steer. Jumping will also grant access to secret areas. * Dance Central: Developed by MTV games, this is a motion-controlled dance-off. * Disney and Lucasarts have also announced that classic Disney and Star Wars characters will be appearing in upcoming Kinect games. Edit* is much better than this imo...

Got to cater to the gray-beards as well as the halo-kiddies right?

It's just a rumor for now, heck this articles explains the $189 refers to the more expensive version. http://www.vg247.com/2010/06/14/rumor-kinect-to-have-two-versions-most-expensive-cost-189-00/

All the more reason Nintendo pisses me off in not releasing it on VC yet, if at all.

shmups plz kthx

First I've heard of it nonetheless.

Yeah I can't imagine any one else doing Batman's voice but ...Much like how you'd be hard pressed to ever replace Mark Hamill's Joker's voice

Here's the link to the track Zircon's referring to; heck Torzelan makes it perfectly available via download link provided in his notes. Another thing I find interesting is that the video uses certain scenes that are allegedly going to be in an animated series for SSFIV. In other SSFIV related news here's another rather interesting video for those having trouble with Rufus players utilizing tactics seemingly not punishable.

So hey the same group that did the Makoto, Ibuki and Cody videos recently released one for Juri

Played them all, collected the special arrangement music collections, got the artbook through a friend for $15; all awesome.

It may have been, however it was mixed along with the other ones of Vega and Zangief which makes me rather positive that it's official. If not oh well.
