Bit of a decieiving title...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Yes, but that makes it all worthy of discussion.

But I agree, I was let down to know it was just XBLA games. Good XBLA games, but not "real" games. I mean, WalMart could throw in Kameo and NFS:MW real easy, or any other sub-$20 game and not be hurting.

But that'd make too much sence. And in marketing, if you can convince people they're getting a value, they'll snatch it in a hurry (and when they see 5 full, playable games they'll snag it faster than a fat person eating a sammich after a Jenny Craig meeting).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

In addition, Wal-Mart is selling Barbie Fairytopia Mermaid or Princess Ballerina Dolls ($5)

 


 I'd be stupid not to buy them. =O

Unless you get your HD movies from the marketplace, in which case 120GB is tiny, 120GB doesn't have much of an advantage over the regular 20GB model.  You can always delete and redownload demos and XBLA games if you need to.

  Yeah, 120 gig isn't really THAT big, but the 20 is really small.  I tend to download and keep a lot of demos...  It's HDMI that I'm more interested in, though.  I see XHM is selling an HDMI "converter" that plugs into the standard xbox video port and converts the signal to HDMI.  It's about 80 bucks though.  I don't need the input for quality as over component I'm getting 1080P but I need more component ports or I need something off of them.  When I finally get a PS3, obviously it will be HDMI so I don't have an issue there...  An elite would get me the little bit of extra space I need and solve my HDMI problem.  That said, I'm not going to spend the coin to get one.  Too much.... I'll have to figure out how to handle it some other way.
