The only problem is that they've seemingly done nothing to address their overheating problems. But I think I may pick it up next price break (hopefully in August) and just get a cooler. And thanks for the words about AdSense. It's certainly a work in progress, but I'll keep everyone updated. Keep an eye out for a post in the next day or so. @Car News Guy – It’s funny you mention that because I want a 360 too!

Halo 3 looks like it's going to be that excuse! :P The only thing I'm worried about, is that more time playing video games means less time working on my sites. I like you theme here by the way. Think what you're doing with the adsense blocks is cool. Interested to see how it goes. I guess I’m on the other side of the coin, I’m just looking for an excuse to buy an Xbox 360.

Wow. I'm surprised no one else has ever said that! (that I've noticed) But honestly, (and as weird as it may seem), I'll gladly take the 99% of the good things the game does over this minor oversight. (The guy wasn't shot with a tranq dart was he?) @Jesse – That’s a very interesting comment Jesse. *nod* And I gotta agree with you. Wow. I’m surprised no one else has ever said that!

My cousin is a MGS fanboy and it's all I hear about. I know the games are good. I know this game is going to be a best-seller. But I decided to check it out anyways, to see if it looked overly-promising. Here's my problem with what I saw. Implement a physics engine! Please! Yes, the game looks great. Yes, the game is going to be a success. But, wow, it's almost 2008. Everything is in this game is motion-captured and that's not necessarily a problem, but for killing-blows it is. I saw an enemy get shot from behind... and fall, dead, on his BACK. C'mon! I would expect to see something like this back in 2002. Earlier? I don't know. I brought it up to my cousin and (fanboy aside) he agreed. We both hope it was glitch. Or something they'll fix. I doubt they will, though. Here’s my gripe.

I didn't try to figure it out. "Sons of patriots this, and blah blah blah that" it was just too much. ***EDIT*** You're right and I'm wrong on the MGS2 front Rhys! And for the 360? Is it supposed to come out for the 360? As far as I know, MGS has only been on Sony platforms. You might be outta luck there. (#)<:( @Opal - Well, I'm not "sold" on it either, but being the video game loser I am, I just need ONE reason to get the system. Before high def dvd players dropped I had one. Now, I've found an even better reason. (#):) PLUS, there are rumors that the 360 is going to drop it's price by $50-$100 sometime in early August so....I don't even know... @Chuck – No problem!
