I also know that Wil Wheaton has a part in the game.

Yep. Good movie (I liked it, anyway). Filmed in sepia tones.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I suspect that now is not the time to by a 360 actually. There have been rumors of a price reduction soon, and also its expected that a hardware revision will happen in the summer.

Hey, amych, how are you doing with the game?
Hmm, I'm not sure if there's anyway to ask that without spoilers... hmmm... how many missions have you completed?
ETA: PS3 is going to get a hardware revision too. They've shrunk the blu-ray diode and the heatsinks are waaaaay smaller. When it'll be release is not yet known.

well we already have an Xbox... will all the games play on 360?
Yep. Good movie (I liked it, anyway)
my thoughts exactly. I've stopped trying to show it to people. They just shake their heads and look at me sideways. But I'm listening to the soundtrack right now... AIFG!

I loved Hardware!

Laga, if you're asking if original Xbox games will play on a 360 the answer is "some". they have a list of backward compatible titles tucked away somewhere on Xbox.com. The list occasionally gets expanded.

Utter, sheer, and did I mention utter crap!
In my defense, I didn't play the past ones -- only watched. So I'm still doing a lot of crashing into streetlight poles and, yes, sending myself flying through windscreens. Good times! Progress-wise, I'm doing a lot of wandering around rather than trying to get through anything fast, and having a great time of it.
