My cheapass copy of Every Extend Extra was unceremoniously tossed on my doorstep by the mailman moments ago, a soft thud I'm glad I heard, as one of the local stray pit bulls or dirty transients could easily have made off with it. Maybe that Gamestop "value" shipping also includes a half-assed drop off from the mail carrier, I don't know.

My weekend is going to consist of a quick attempt to learn the mechanics of EEE, plus a few hours of playing through the Sega Ages Treasure Box on my finally unpacked ceramic white Japanese PlayStation 2. Saturday night also marks my first L.A.-based gaming get together, with plenty of booze, fattening snacks, co-op Gears of War, and maybe even a little Samba de Amigo to cap the night off.

What about you, lords and ladies of the Kotaku kingdom? Will you play the Wii and PS3 waiting game? Did you pick up any of this week's new releases? Let us know what you're gonna get freaky with in the comments. Michael McWhertor
