Heh people want original games yet when they are given an apportunity they are dismissed as crap before even trying them. So we have more games to play thanks to xnx yet somehow that is a bad thing LOL. Wii already has wiiware coming down and I am sure PSN will do something similar as they had mentioned gaming 3.0. Little big planet is just a small piece of that yet people think is the holy grail user created content though it has literally taken years to make. I am baised since I am excited bout what could come out of those "amatuer" games since only "real" programmers with big budgets have skills to do anything good.

In fanboy's eyes, why create an original game when you can create a level for an already-established game?

Now that's revolutionary and exciting, despite the fact that I've been playing user-created levels and mods in games since the mid-90s on PC. 

Rocketpig, for the last flippin time.  I am not not excited about this.  I just don't like to get excited about things without knowing the particulars.  The whole "ripoff" argument is null and void, that doesn't matter.  I just found that odd.  What I'm worried about is paying for these ametuer games.  if they're free, I'd be very happy, if they're five bucks... I don't know how happy I'd be.  And since they haven't gone into when this will start, pricing, etc.  How can I be excited?  I hardly know anything about it.  If you didn't take every question about something as a jab to your favorite system, you would fine many more intelligent conversations on this site.  But I know that you are just going to bold the last sentence and focus on that.
