Considering I don't sit a foot away from my TV this doesn't make a big difference for me. While nicer and cleaner lines are preferable, I like sitting back on my couch and playing.

I don't PC game much, so I haven't run into DRM as of late, but yeah, it sounds pretty terrible and annoying. I can take the Xbox 360 game I purchased and go anywhere with it and play it on any Xbox 360 machine, while I don't necessarily do that, its good to know that I can.

FFXIII could be cool, but nothing beats FFVI for me. Played that game through so many damn times. Definitely want to see something on Splinter Cell Conviction, I've been a fan of the multiplayer since Chaos Theory. Almost wish that Star Wars: The Old Republic is terrible so I won't be tempted to lose my life to it. But it will probably be pretty decent, oh well.

I just wonder how heavy the controller will be with that extra attachment. It doesn't seem very practical to me.

Sony definitely has a long way to go to catch up in certain respects to the 360 this generation. I really hope its a tight race because that way the gamers benefit much more.

You know what I love to hate? Or just hate in general? How basically all online achievements for Xbox 360 shooters want you to play RANKED games with TOTAL strangers constantly. What's the fun in that? Why haven't I gotten any online achievements for Gears? Because I have to deal with retards who may or may not know how to play. Really, I don't give a crap about leaderboards or people boosting. I just want to play ranked matches with my friends, period, just like I did for so long on Halo 2, amazingly back then I did it even when there weren't achievements to be, uh, achieved. And for all of those people knocking anyone who enjoys getting achievements, just stop. 90% of games involve some kind of collection - items, money, fame, noteriety, etc. Achievements are just another game where you collect points for doing things you would do anyway, or for things you wouldn't normally do but are now encouraged to try, and often in the process you have fun. What's the harm in that?

Yeah, Manning is pretty annoying since it seems like he'll advertise anything if they throw enough money at him. Seriously, he'd got about 15 different endorsements and 25 commercials out. I'm not a big NFL fan ( I like college ball- GO IRISH!) so I can think this way. Go Bears, seriously, so hopefully we see less of Manning in between my favorite TV shows.
