Hey, don't knock Bloodwake. I actually enjoyed that game when I picked it up for $4.99. It wasn't nearly as horrible as I thought it was going to be.

But you are right. Any XBOX game will require the HD for the 360 to play it.

The should not charge the card till it ships. Are you sure it was not just an auth on the card?

I don't really know what to think. There are some things that I really like. I like the third person roll and especially the around the corner aiming. I really think that is a great addition to FPSs. I am concerned if they will be able to capture the pure fun of the original and the great weapon design. So far all I have seen on this game just reminds me of a next gen FPS and not Perfect Dark. Which is not a good thing but will hopefully change.

Samsclub.com had an XBOX 360 for $449(I think), but it's gone....could be a head's up for what they will get in-store possibly.

It was the Super-System w/extra wireless controller and play & charge kit.

The site is already up and it's a bit on the wacky side. Click the UK's flag for English, watch the bunnies speak, click on the magic fruit and take the test if you are actually in the UK.

Wow Origen was a huuuuuuge let down. What a lame site. I guess the hype was built so high I was expecting a announcement.

Also those PDZ videos look like cat turds (ie. bad). The graphics look ok but the physics and AI look like they were taken from a Commodore 64 game. Hope that was an early build

They make note that on those videos they are running a debug build with the AI off and some of the physics disabled.

It is worth clarifying that in this debug build many physics were turned off as well as the enemy AI. We suggest you to pay attention to Joanna’s animation, the size of the city and viewing distance.

Not directly related to the 360, but I'm sure you understand the relevence:

"Reuters is reporting that after months of sitting on the fence in the battle over what will replace the venerable DVD that Microsoft and Intel have thrown their weight behind Toshiba's HD DVD over the Sony's Blu-ray. Better compatibility with existing DVD technology as well as lower cost were cited as reasons to back HD DVD. While this is undoubtedly a significant blow for Sony in their efforts to establish Blu-ray as the next standard it's not likely to be the end of Blu-ray."

I thought the origen site was rather interesting. Especially now that it has nothing to do with any of us in the USA.

Yeah, that's great damage control. Hey don't look at the (really) rag doll physics or the lame AI where you can just walk up to the guy and punch him in the face look at the pretty city ooooooo....... awwwwww........

I finally went in and paid off my 360 tonight as well as my play and charge kit.

For (near)launch titles I am going with:
Call Of Duty 2
Perfect Dark Zero - The Cheaper Version
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06

I also put money down on Burnout Revenge as well.

Now the wait gets even more painful.

I am going to stay optimistic on this one, do we know for a fact that it has nothing to do with us? The main thing I want to point out is that there is still fruit on the tree that has not ripened(turned oarnge). Hopefully the other fruits could be news. Another thought I have is that it is just contests for other areas including ourselves. I hope this is not the case but would it truly make sense to have a contest only for Europe to win a trip to a big gala here in the U.S. and not have the same contest for say 2 lucky winners here in the U.S. and also perhaps Japan.
