I was watching the new video of Fable II when I realized that I would need to get my own xbox 360 for myself if my friend and I were to play co-op. (right, now, I'm borrowing his 360...i'm making him share with me :s) This is sad to me, because even though I never played alot of mulitplayer with friends, save some old school Crash Bandicoot racing and more recent escapades with Nintendo 64 and Halo, I like mulitplayer. A lot. The kind of multiplayer/co-op where you and a friend can veg out for hours. Now everything's being done over the internet. That makes me sad. Not to say that I don't mind hopping over the web for some awesome co-op, but I like it when I can sit down with a friend, eat some popcorn, and cruise through Halo. It's another type of bonding. My stepdad and I used to play Soul Caliber II all the time. That's how we get to know each other when we first met, was killing each other in a fighting game.
/Sigh. Well, maybe it's just me. I'm hoping that physical multiplayer won't die out completely.
