  Numb Chuckin it.

  So price points have been flooding out of the Nintendo camp. Everything is looking good until we get to the Wii controller. 60 bucks for a controller?! Sure it's the new hot thing and it's only 10 bucks more then the wireless 360 controler but man it just seems expensive. It's time to take it old skool and make friends bring their own damn controllers when they come over my house. Other then the whole controller thing i'm pretty happy about the release details involved.  Except.....the push back of Zelda for the GC, go massage your collective colons with a brillo pad 'tendo because that wasn't cool at all. nice way to kill off your current dying system.

  Gimme Some Mo'

  Hey it's that time again for a video-game thought! Todays topic is how game publishing companies are pushing mediocre "Limited Editions" onto the gaming masses. Here is an excerpt from my post about Gears of War.
  Companies really need to make Limited Editions much more attractive to the consumer market. If your gonna entice me to spend more money at least give me something substantial. The art book should a decent size with two page spreads or even a tri-fold here and there. Am I the only one that remembers when companies put forth effort. Take Starsiege and Tribes for example. They both came with extra books just on the lore and history, so when you were not playing the game you were still spending hours reading about the back story."
  
  Why is it that companies like Working Designs that gave the consumer a crap load of tchotchke go under while other companies that give you a sticker are allowed to go unchecked when they call it a special edition. We all know this stuff is made for pennies in some factory in china. Is it too much to ask for to get something good for my extra 10-20 dollars. A "Behind the scenes" DVD isn't worth an extra 5 dollars let alone 10-20. How boring is it to watch Cliffy B. Talk about how the rendered the game? I'd liken those DVD's to porn, it's good for about 10 minutes and then it's pretty much boring. Give me Sequential numbered cases, art books of some girth, mini action figures, something good Jesus please. Back to Working Designs for a brief minute. Remember when you reserved Lunar for the PS1? What did you get? A freakin punch doll that looked like Ghaleon or Alex.
  
  It's stuff like this that makes you remembered in the gamer community. Not an extra DVD or a sticker sheet.

  PlayMasion 3

  Anyone else notice that the font they used for the PS3 is the same sony has been using for Spiderman movies?  Every time I look at spiderman I think of PS3 and vice versa when I look at a PS3
