Make SMB support suck less.
Nice steering wheel, and brake lights!
You hit the nail on the head. I want to see the review for his colorful metaphors and over the top reactions to the car.
I need a Jeremy Clarkson review.
Selling mine back today. I love FNR3 and I played with the sticks for about 6-8 careers. The layout isn't my problem. I hate the fact that the game has been focused almost entirely on counter punching.

Ok, so a dodge and then a strike is huge. I'll give you that one. But now I need to strategically time my blocking as to create another counter. I can beat on a guy for 9 rounds but I'm fucked if I don't counter and get hit with one in the tenth. It make normal blocking and punching almost irrelevant. That's why I hate this game.
Sorry I meant I played all those career on FN3.
HATE IT. The new counter system is awful. Basically you can beat the crap out of a guy for 9 rounds, and unless you counter him you're screwed. Unless it's a counter, your punching doesn't do crap. Then, all the CPU needs to do is counter you 2-3 times and you're dog meat. The entire game is now basically waiting for your opponent to throw a punch that you can avoid and then try to counter.

I played probably 6-8 careers of 60 plus fights each and loved it all. I appreciate a lot of the improvements but the counter system is too heavily weighted. I'll be trading this game soon.
This site has been floating around everywhere today for getting tethering going without jailbraking:

Did they get rid of that bloody horrible female announcer from last year? I won't buy another Tiger Woods game until she is gone. What happened to David Ferherty? I'd take anyone from the CBS or NBC golf crew over that annoying woman.
I too got a sweet deal on an '08 last June and love it. I bought it 4 months old with 3000 miles on it and paid $9,000 off original sticker. I drive a lot for my job and picked it over a 3-series or an C-series for the following reasons: more comfortable for longer distances, about the same fuel economy but with regular fuel, more standard options (love the cooled seats), lower insurance, lower cost and the kicker:

I called a BMW dealership and asked what the cost of oil changes, brake/rotor replacements, and alternator replacements would cost after the maintenance plan expired. .. I literally laughed at the guy over the phone and went straight to buy the MKZ.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
