I still would take CNN's word over any game sites including VGC's.  They are known and respected, whether you like them or not.


I wouldn't trust anything called the chicken noodle network for news except maybe about food.


yes cnn are known but not respected. jhon stowert and steven colbert know more about politics then them. also what would they know about games? yes ign arent that reliable but they are gamers.

Um who doesn't respect them?  Why are they not respected?  Who is more respected?  Colbert and Stewart are fun to watch (and I do watch them) but they are hardly good political pundits.  Could you give me a few examples please...

There is an old saying that I believe in whole heartedly, Trust but Verify.  Just because I watch CNN on occasion doesn't mean I take everything they say to heart.  Or that CNN is all that I watch when it comes to news services, believe it or not I do watch other stations on occasion (except fox).  And I do trust what they say for the most part but I always verify it.

CNN is not the end all be all of news reporting.  But I dare say they are right more than they are wrong and when they are wrong they will say so.  Jeez sometimes I think you guys believe in nothing other than your console of choice, and nothing else matters.

I have a wife and family and hopefully one day a few more children.  Gaming isn't my life and it never will be.  With this said I do love gaming it is my favorite past time and I do take it somewhat seriously or I wouldn't be posting on a gaming sites forum.  I have said what I needed to say and I am done trying to defend CNN or any other damnd news station.  How did I get into this fracking situation to begin with?  Give it a rest sigh...

Well I'll tell you one thing.  I know plenty of non-gamers with plenty of money, who watch the news such as CNN - and do not know what IGN means, or that it exists.  So, gamers don't like Kinect - I don't think Microsoft is out to impress them, or us anyways.

If a news media outlet is telling people that Kinect is "cool" then Microsoft is on the right track.  They have their targeted crowd in their crosshair.  I don't think they care that we aren't impressed.
