Paraphrasing, he said that he expect the cost of XBox Live gold to increase dramatically in the near future.
Did you follow up on this with him perchance, or know anything else about this prediction of his? #bonusround

Of course, in some warped world where M$ dominates the market, they would probably pull that trick(yes, they want money, surprise), but in the real world, doing that would probably just convert a whole lot of people to PS3 or back to PC, I would say. So, IMO, I think it's highly unlikely that M$ would double the price of gold. #bonusround

I didn't think there would be any way they could *increase* the cost, especially with the PS3 finally starting to make a sales splash.
That's why I was hoping McWhertor knew a little more about what Pachter said. Pachter is, after all, the supposed market expert, so you'd think he'd know a little about stuff like this... #bonusround

Borderlands on the otherhand, looks a lot smoother in movement and combat, and considering its made in the Unreal Engine, you can probably expect something between the range of Rainbow Six Vegas games and UT3... though I'm staying somewhat optimistic and hoping it handles better than both (at least for the console [PS3] version -- PC has a more room for custom controls).
IGN has a Video Review of it for the 360 Version on their site. Check it out if you want to see it in action. Compare their review to Kotaku's for an average understanding on what to expect (each site had a slightly different take on some of the aspects of the game). #bonusround

It opens n starts buffering the clip, but the nub won't start playing, just says "loading" in the middle of the screen. Hasn't fixed itself since yesterday.

It looks like the video won't play at all if the pop-up commercial is unable to play, whether it's blocked by Adblock or something else. Pretty sleazy, but then again ad revenue is the only thing keeping most websites like GameTrailers afloat.

Also, guys, please, stop calling it a magic wand. :p That term has been utterly spoiled.

Its been done but people arn't really talking about it.
I actually have this game:
http://www.wilddivine.com/
It uses vitality sensors and you control in game objects by adjusting your pulse. Its kinda neat, but really hard to slow your pulse/increase it without jumping up and down or falling asleep.

Besides, the human body isn't really built to speed up and slow down in short, quick bursts without consequences, the most extreme consequence being cardiac arrest.

Or they'll just start bundling PS3 with an eyetoy a Dualshock 3 and a blu-ray instead of bundling them with a game, to get people halfway there, or a third rather.

As stated in the video, it will most likely go the way of the regular eyetoy, mic, buzz-controllers or one of the other peripherals that Sony has released, and just be a side-thing, which will ultimately lead to them being last in the motion-control race, seeing as Microsoft is a lot more likely to include Natal directly in the box.
Sony, in their endless lack of wisdom, will most likely release a wand or two in a standalone box, probably with a camera too, and then yet another box which will also include some sort of mini-game collection thinking that their casual-audience will be sure to pick it up, just like they did with the eyetoy, mic and buzz-controllers.
Which in turn will only show their lack on insight, since those people already have a Wii, and won't be interested in a second, more expensive one.
Unless they managed to get magical insight that would allow them to see that their previous business-model won't work with the wands.
But I somehow doubt that.
Can also guarantee that there won't be a console-bundle with the wands but no controller, since this is not an interface-device like Natal and the Wii-Mote.
