I should start posting these threads, the source gets at least 500 vg$ every month from these threads alone.

 You get VG$ when folks post in your thread?  I had no idea.

I'm always early. This is where the fun starts ^_^

3 hours to go!

It's no fun without you and starcraft going at it!

No reason to this month! 

We all know PS3 > 360, again, so there will be nothing to say.  It's all about numbers in this thread, not speculation.

This month will be interesting to see what kind of numbers Microsoft is basing their 'double the sales after the price cut' on.
If 360 sales are considerably under 200k.... LOL it will be epic :P

Who doesn't! On a related note, bring out the drinks and party hats! (Sorry Soriku you have to be a lot older to wear the cool party hats.)

 

I'll just buy a cooler hat then :)

This NPD will likely be the same as last time. Wii > PS3 + 360, and PS3 > 360 and we get to see PS3 and 360 fans duking it out again.

 

I can't wait for the gifs! I loved last months 360 gif (how many casuals have joined us?)

 

Do you have a link to the GIF, btw? I was on my Wii and the GIF didn't finish for some reason. I want to see the rest :O

Wow!

Metal Gear Solid 4 might be higher than Mario Kart Wii!

Sony platforms are likely to outshine Nintendo platforms in the SW.

As SW isn't posted on this page, I'll add them from The Source's preview.

Lets play some poker to pass the time...

 

I have a Royal Flush. What do you have?

 

I have Five of a Kind Aces! That trumps Royal Flash!

 

Five of a Kind -A five of a kind, only possible when using wild cards, is the highest possible hand. If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher cards wins, five Aces will beat five kings, which beats five queens, and continues on by the ranking of the cards.

 

Texas Hold 'Em or Five Card?

 

I believe only Five Card can have wild cards. I could be wrong but I never seen a Texas Hold'em have "wild rules"!

 

lol i know, I was /sarcasm

I was playing Texas Hold 'Em one time and a guy actually tried to say he had three pairs.  Which technically, if we had allowed 6 cards, he could have.  But for obvious reasons, we decided to throw stuff at him.
