Well that was G4TV's "HUGE" announcement in the beginning of '08 that they whined about 2 weeks in advance so that everyone would watch their announcement.

But yes, I approve of this most amazing E3 again.
They really should up the simple 48-hour trial to maybe a week's worth. Though I can see people buying and returning games just to extract the 7 day trial, it gives you much more of a feel for Live if you are a Silver member.
Damn, you spoiled it! I want to keep seeing his dong!
It was really good, except I felt it was played on just a bit too long, the vid shouldn't have lasted anywhere past 1 minute.

The funniest part to me for some reason was in the beginning when he says "they don't see us...fuckin' noobs." I just remember how many people have said that playing COD4 back in the dark days.
The DS Lite used Wireless B (not mixed, not N), and the PSP has always used a mix of b/g. This is why SO many of my friends complained that their DS online didn't work because they strictly had Wireless N routers since they are rich as all balls.
Agreed, but again the option is always there for that kid who is only $3 short of a full $60.

If I see a game that is $20 cheaper used, it's an instinct. $10, I need to decide if the game is that high of quality that I want a brand new (read: Killzone, Halo, GTA, etc.). $5, splurge and buy the new.

My biggest gripe about used games though has got to be the casing of the used games. All of the games that I have ever traded or sold to any friends, relatives, gamestops, ebay, etc. have been in mint condition, mostly because the only time I touch the case is when I grab the game, otherwise it stays tucked in a draw or cabinet with the others.

WHY ARE ALL THE GAMESTOP USED GAMES MARKED WITH SHARPIES EXPLAINING "This game is owned by billy bob fucker"? And the worst is when you ask for a game used and they have the fucking audacity to give me the game in a compact disc sleeve, no case, nothing.

Gamestop needs a universal policy that protects the buying and the selling of the used games.
And this just in: the sky is blue.
Shotty rampage!

BTW, if I'm picked, please send to Al3xP227 -AT- GMAIL.com
This game is awesome and innovative and such, but there is no reason why it has the upper hand in prices and is $5 more on XBL, and $10 on PC. This game is 1.) short and 2.) aggravating.

Braid's a fun and great game, but the pricing of it is bullshit.
Then again, the Wii's install base is 1000x bigger than both the PS3s and the 360s install...
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
