    Loved mst3k (not enough to go to the electric boogaloo mind you) but was a fan. I have seen many try to imitate them many times on youtube and all are terrible. No matter how good the product is, the end user is what will make this pretty bad. :)

    And if you disagree you can email me at crow@biteme.com

    No man, he really thinks if your watching a movie random people from Playstation Home will walk in.
    These movie invaders will then start patting their butts and throwing Tomato's.

    Excited.

    MST3k is by far the greatest show of all time....during the summer of '96 I had my appendix taken out. The next day I went home, and watched "The Incredible Melting Man." I was laughing so hard during the scene with the two old people in the lemon grove, that all of the sudden I felt a sharp pain where my stitches were. I could see the gauze/wrappings around the stitches every so slowly start to turn red...so I called 911 and was rushed to the hospital...where I needed additional stitches. Turns out I was laughing so hard that I actually damaged the wound/stitches.

    And I don't really want to start a flame war here...but I'm sorry, I can't help it....Mike is better.

    Crazy, just got done watching Space Mutiny. One of my favorite MST3ks. For anyone who misses them and wants more, they have a website called Rifftrax and is effin hilarious. Original crew, new movies, brilliant! #patents

    Kind of interesting, but I can't say I'm any more interested in this than, say, the Avatar Party watching we can do on the 360 already. Obviously this is more advanced and goes a beyond canned animations, but the overall experience doesn't seem like it'll be that different.

    That is, it sounds great and is kind of funny for a while, but eventually you just settle into watching the movie. #patents

    @ramz888: Actually, it's not true at all.

    Not saying that You're in the Movies is worth two shits, because it isn't, but the functions described in this article don't have anything at all to do with that game beyond the fact that they both use the term "movie" somewhere in the product.

    If you need to draw an Xbox 360 comparison because you're a lazy bastard, draw it to the party viewing system, which this is clearly an evolution of. #patents

    @Moonshadow101: My reference was to the "ONLY APPEALING" part of the phrase fanboy. Too bad your too interesting in name calling to get the reference.
    I actually own all 3 systems and find no need to over analyze and draw useless comparisons between them because they all bring unique things to the table. However in this case I think what Sony is offering is MORE APPEALING that what Ms currently offers.
    Too bad you couldn't figure that out. #patents

    In reply to Microsoft Patents Drop-In Co-Op In Shooters
    Brute Force was a huge dissapointment...I was managing an EB Games at the time and we had gotten around 30 preorders. I took my copy home before the street date and subsequently warned all of my presell customers about how crappy it was. Funny enough, the feature that I mentioned was the coolest, was the drop-in Co-op. I still think it's a great feature. ;)
