| » Perfect fit for the Wii.
I imagine the remote used as the proton pack gun and wiping the nunchuck forward to release the ghost capture thingy. You could even use the buttons on the nunchuck for opening and closing up the trap. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Yeap, a good plan would be to get ahold of an 8800GT now and grab another when you want more performance.
Now I want to see a $500 card with 512bit bus, 1GB RAM, and 256 stream processors so I can play Crysis with all the eye candy turned on. Flag this | Edit this post |

| If I were Infinity Ward, I'd be incredibly pissed at Activision right now. Who only puts enough copies into the retail channel to satisfy just pre-orders of a highly anticipated game?
"We've checked with a wide range of retailers (Gamestop, Wal-Mart, Target), and only pre-orders are being satisfied—stores are otherwise sold out of the title," he said."
WTF?! Flag this | Edit this post |

| How about we just get an Intel E4500 C2D CPU ($130), some value priced 2GB kit ($50 at most), and a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L ($90), then overclock like there is no tomorrow with an 8800GT ($250)? I'm sure the extra $20 is worth lower CPU temps, case temps, and much higher performance.
I think this article needs an overclocked performance section? Get any C2D with a high multiplier and a low stock FSB and work some magic. Flag this | Edit this post |

| The EA logo is on the retail box and they make money as the distributor for the retail version of the game.
I absolutely loathe giving EA any money, but when the retail box is less than the online equivalent; self interest (aka saving money on games) comes into play. I don't mind supporting Valve, although I do still despise Steam in general. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I agree. The ESRB rates games to inform parents, but there is no law I know of that prohibits purchasing a game with a certain ESRB rating at the Federal level of government. Same situation with MPAA rated movies FWIW. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I feel like I sold my soul to the devil because the Orange Box is published by EA (hate them) and the games are delivered via Steam (hate DRM).
But darn it all, Portal is awesome, Ep2 continues the epic story, and TF2 is just plain quick and dirty fun! All for the low price of $37.99 at Circuit City last week. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Microsoft needs to lose the Core model like now. Also, don't charge $80-$90 for a wireless adapter. Just eat it and have wireless built in. Finally, hard drive space is cheap, so the premium unit should have at least 60GB and the Elite should be bumped to 160GB+ for such a price premium. At least the SKUs worth mentioning now have HDMI, so they got one thing right now.
As for Sony, reduce price, keep the emotion engine hardware, get some rumble back in the controllers...ah never mind, you messed up this go around completely.
Nintendo...great job as always! Flag this | Edit this post |

| » They just don't get it?!
The graphics already look dated on the Wii. People are buying this console because it has exclusive content, the content is fun, the price is cheaper, and the games are easily accessible to even previous non-gamers; not because of the super-uber graphics. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I think these retail "packages" are a completely sleazy way of making sure that retail boxed products don't undercut the prices charged directly on Steam.
In the past HL2, EP1, Sin Emergence etc. were always cheaper to get at retail at one point or another. If there is only one product that contains a package of games available at retail, then the masses who already have HL2 et. al. will be forced to buy EP2, TF2 directly through Steam. It makes business sense on paper I'm sure, but I hope there is a serious consumer backlash which makes them alter their business model. Flag this | Edit this post |

| How about:
3) Make it extremely annoying (not to mention expensive) to be a PC gamer by requiring new hardware and software (Vista), thus providing the incentive for the PC gamer to just buy an xBox 360. Let's not forget that Vista borks EAX support too. Flag this | Edit this post |
