if you replaced perfect Dark with FFXII or Tales of legendia you guys would be creaming your pants for those extras.

In no way does Xbox 360 warrant more expensive discs.

Actually, games are getting more and more expensive to make, and the greater polygon and texture capabilities of the 360 and PS3 do mean that art and design budgets will go even higher. $60 games for these new systems are an unavoidable reality. Throw in the leverage of major exclusives and I'll be surprised if Madden isn't $65-$70 by the end of the generation.

The problem is how far can this cycle continue before consumers get fed up and/or publishers no longer make enough money to justify the insanely high budgets required to make games more and more detailed. What happens then?

Publishers are doing just fine, you should be worrying about the developers who are getting bled-dry

:lol Anyway I'm looking for this game to sell me a 360 cause the rest of the lineup looks pretty bland IMO.

I laughed at that as well.

Im surprised MS didnt stick something like that into the core system description:
"Health and Safety Manual with exclusive tips"

 

[Idioteque]

This will probably be the only game I get with my system.

Aye, it's like those DVDs that have 'interactive menu' under their Special Features.

MS is going Halo-esque with PD0. Rare better come through. This game could be Halo 2 big.

60.

Regular version is 50.

Not all next gen games will be 60.

All 3rd party games are currently. Only first party are $50.

:Lol @ the bitching, I think its a good LE, you get stuff you can use outside the game, and a comic. Halo 2 was just hours of documentaries that got dull after ten minutes (I only bought the thing for the pretty tin case).

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I'm still not sold on PDZ. Right now Ghost Recon is getting my money. PDZ will have to be pretty amazing for me to dump cash on a second FPS at launch.

 

[sc0la]

I want an "Adventures of Xdude and Wallguy" spinoff please.

Xdude can be a "gray" alien with backwards compatability.

 

[+Aliken+]

One think to say... GIVE US MORE WALL GUY!!!


(they should add a wall guy special, they should not be too serious about the whole thing and have a laugh about it)
