Is anyone willing to trade me a XBL 1600 point card that is unused for 3 2000 Wii point cards? It might sound stupid, but I realised I want 360 points and I cannot find them ANYWHERE. So I have some unused cards just sitting here, i can send you a picture to show you the code has not been scratched off.

Which stores have their games in no bulky cases that you know of? I mean like just the CD case, not some hard plastic encasing or a glass chest. When I jack a game, it's always got those bulky hard plastic cases, that need a employee to open, or I can't even touch the ones in the case. And when I steal the hard plastic ones alarms go buzzin' and I get chased. I am glad I run a mile every day at school, they can never keep up at least. I just wish there was a store where i can lift them more low profile like DVD's, CD'S, food and snowboarding stuff. Any suggestions? Mail me the answer because this topic will be locked.
I used to think Jeff was a bad reviewer, but now I think Gamespot is terrible. What ever happened to freedom of speech in the US, something like this can get G$ sued because of a violation of the constitution. It's illegal in the US to fire someone because of their opinion.
We've heard an unsettling rumor today from an anonymous tipster that longtime game reviewer Jeff Gerstmann from Gamespot has been let go. That wouldn't necessarily be newsworthy, but the conditions under which he was allegedly dismissed were. According to the source, Gerstmann was fired "on the spot" due to advertiser pressure for his review of Eidos' Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. A visit to Gamespot shows that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game has taken over the site very prominently, with backgrounds and multiple banner ads all pitching Kane & Lynch. Allegedly, publisher Eidos "took issue with the review and threatened to pull its ad campaign."
Jeff's review was certainly less than glowing. He assigned the game a 6.0, otherwise known as "Fair" on the Gamespot scale. The game is currently enjoying a Metacritic score in the 65 to 69 range, which the site describes as "mixed or average reviews." According to our tipster, it wasn't necessarily the score that was reason for Gerstmann's rumored axing, but the "tone" of the review.
Gerstmann has been no stranger to controversial reviews, as his scores of 10 for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 8.8 for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess had sensitive internet users up in arms. It's now possible that many bitter fanboys may have had their wishes for his firing granted.
As our tipster points out, if the rumor is true, it could point to a distressing precedent at Gamespot and parent company CNet. "As writers of what is supposed to be objective content, this is our worst nightmare coming to life," wrote the tipster.
Our efforts to confirm the story with Gamespot haven't proved successful. Our current requests with PR, Gerstmann and other CNet contacts have either gone unanswered or yielded a "no comment." http://kotaku.com/gaming/rumor/gamespot-editor-fired-over-kane--lynch-review-328244.php
