The box front has no EA branding, but the original game bundle does have the EA logo on both front and back. If the original un-bundled EX-3 box doesn't have any EA branding on the back, then it had to have been sold directly by Hasbro, which I suspect is also the case with the blue EX-3.

And after looking at all three products (game bundle with yellow gun, non-bundled yellow gun, and blue gun), all three have the EA logo on them, and all three say they are licensed by Hasbro. So, apparently EA is the front end party on all of these, and Hasbro is just getting paid to supply them.

@th3-h077n355: TOO OLD? For nerf guns?
The only nerf-thing adults are too old for is not owning one of these.

Give it a go with an on rails shooter, I'd love to hear what you think of it with HotD Overkill.
If you have it that is

Actually, I have done exactly that. (With House of the Dead and the Wii nerf blaster that came with the nerf game).
And it's AWESOME.
Seriously, it's loads of fun, and with our big HDTV it feels a lot like playing the rails shooters at an arcade. I'm also definitly more accurate with the wiimote-in-gun than I am with the wiimote by itself.

If mom dares poke her head into the playroom demanding that you come to dinner, then BAM!!! Nerf shot to her head, and she'll then learn to respect the fact that you're currently kicking ass at Wii Sports Resorts archery.

Ever wondered why 90+% of Hunters go Beast Mastery?
Because it's easy as anything, and it has far better dps than Marksmanship or Survival.
Blizzard finally have the balls to stand up to Beast Masters, and say "Hey, you're the easiest spec to play by far; so you shouldn't do the highest dps too - that's not fair. Specs that are more of a challenge to play should be rewarded with a little better dps."
Of course, the Beast Masters all complain; and now it will get to be the best again (and the ridiculously easiest) while the other specs are both more challenging and have the worst dps... *sigh*

I must say, you've proved your point quite well regarding most World of Warcraft players being very opinionated, unfortunately, most either have enough common sense, courtesy, or respect for other players that they don't openly flame a class, spec, or gaming website quite so openly.
Long live the reign of the hypocrite, flaming a class and spec, then asking with thinly veiled sarcasm to "Keep Kotaku icy cool and flame free".
Really, Mr. 7334 hunter, after your previous posts, please don't try to fool anyone by pretending that your comments weren't inflammatory. And one other thing, If you're going to be an ass, be an ass...don't hide behind that poor attempt at being above it after slinging mud at the BM populace.

Nerfed? As in made safe for children to play with without losing an eye?
I love kotaku but this post sucks sooo bad. The tag should not be Blizzard. It should be WoW.

Blizzard nerfs Hunters for the first time and not even two weeks after the patch they're already reversing their decision.
Hunters for most-played class of the game!

@Taurus_McGee: It always seems funny to me how computer games still use pen and paper RPG terminology like 2H@ or 2-8D

It has nothing to do with space cows.

Playing as a War on PVP is a joke-
they are completely underpowered and have crap DPS compared to other classes, even with decent gear.
If you get saped from far away- your done with.
And Death knights..
now THAT is what they need to nerf.

Nerf paper.
Scissors is fine.

"guys, we know the matchmaking sucks ass. also, we are aware that our game's netcode is total shit. everyone here is worthless! sorry!"

Probably would have been better if they just...you know...checked these things before hand. The boards were flooded with people crunching data saying exactly this immediately after they announced the changes, yet they still blindly move forward and do it anyways. Why was this only apparent to them after releasing this? All it would have taken was 5 minutes with a damage meter to figure this out. It's just baffling it happened to begin with.
01/29/09
Their data pull probably showed them otherwise, until it was released to the mass population where the population is large enough to show trend.
If Blizzard bent over back to every single person crunching numbers on the forums, nothing right would ever be accomplished.

Long story short, Blizzard always knows what they're doing more than the players, because the players aren't paid to see the big, unbiased picture.
