    I am getting tired of all these same looking sports games.

    EA should invest in new IP and revive their experimental IP like Mirror's Edge. It will pay off them in the long run.

    For example, EA has created exclusive IP for xbox 360 but what about PS3? they should either go all-multiplatform or balance it out. #ncaafootball10

    "Few experiences have been more gratifying than taking over a two-star doormat, storming the Top 10, and getting that "Where'd They Come From?!" headline in the next week's NCAA news."

    I was going to post a video of my "doormat" school's alma mater, but there's not a video of it on YouTube.

    best to watch it in a local bar. though if you have no other option, this may suffice...

    but i'm sure if you missed the game, the world will spoil the outcome. no spoiler warnings irl (or on yahoo!sports for that matter) #playstationnetwork

    It'd be nice if future consoles allowed you to pay for a subscription to wrestling, baseball, football/soccer, and other sports.

    Not that I'd pay for/watch any of it. #playstationnetwork

    @Vecha: One more Month: I don't think you'll need to wait for future consoles for that. Sky TV just got added to the 360 in Europe (or the PS3? One of them) so that's not so far removed from what you're suggesting. #playstationnetwork

    @Vecha: One more Month: You can't have fast infrastructure isolated to the cities unless you expect each city to contain its own copy of the entire Internet. The thing holding the US back is connecting those cities to anywhere else, as they're all thousands of miles apart on average. #playstationnetwork

    I don't know much about the internet....but I know that there are faster speeds over in California and New York then there is down here in Daphne, Alabama.

    Also, I hope that soon Cable will be available everyone at some point, which I guess ties in with what you are talking about? #playstationnetwork

    @Vecha: One more Month: Being on the coasts, and having bigger economies, they're much more critical connection points. Check out any of the pics here: [www.nthelp.com]

    The problem is ISPs would lose tons of money in adding connections to places like Alabama unless everyone there is willing to pay for faster connections, yet someone has to make the investment before progress can be made. The bottom line is that it sucks to live in the boonies, and won't get better anytime soon. #playstationnetwork

    In reply to Fight Night Gets Three New Fighters, Price Cut
    i still have to buy the game.
    but some DLC pricing has become ridiculous.

    to me $9.99 should be a map pack with at least 4 maps and 4 weapons and some new forces or game modes.

    full games can be up to $14.99 depending on longevity and type of game

    and characters / skins should be $0.99 or $1.99 if they introduce new fighting styles or something.

    and puzzle games my range from $4.99 to $9.99 but no puzzle game should exceed that cause most of them are available on the net in some form or another.

    and games that are literally a copy of an existing free game (zuma , mahjong etc) should be $5.99 at the most.

    anyway that is my price rating system regarding DLC of any kind.

    so this is a no go.
    this should cost either $2.99 if they are skins only or $5.99 if they introduce new fighting styles

    In reply to NBA Live 10 and NBA 2K10: It's Fargin' War
    I'm sorry, but this is not 2K's "gala 10th anniversary year."

    Count with me, kids!

    NBA2K = #1!
    NBA2k1 = #2!
    NBA2k2 = #3!
    NBA2k3 = #4!
    ESPN NBA Basketball 2k4 = #5!
    ESPN NBA2k5 = #6!
    NBA2k6= #7!
    NBA2k7 = #8!
    NBA2k8 = #9!
    NBA2k9 = #10!
    NBA2k10 = ...gasp. #11!

    And yet, they have "10th anniversary" splashed all over the boxes. Is basic math a problem for basketball players? Or did somebody drop the ball in marketing last year and they're hoping nobody will notice this year? #nba2k10

    I find it funny that people are so offended by this "condoning of hate words" or whatever you call it, when the actual acronym relates to the people fighting AGAINST the grenade spammers, not the grenade spammers themselves. This means that it is simply, in my opinion, Infinity Ward throwing in a humorous acronym a-la-Team America. #nsfw

    @Eastwing:
    This is the silliest arguement Ive heard. "They're not calling these people FAGS, theyre calling THESE people FAGS.". Oooh well thats...NOT different. It doesnt matter who they are calling fags dip. A large scale company selling a major product should not be calling ANYONE a fag. #nsfw

    @Modus_Operandi: Nail-on-head.

    Anyone lumping all the negative criticism against this viral into one pile should take note of MO's point. Sure the Internet is hyper-sensitive but large companies should already know this and act accordingly.

    Also I doubt that Broken Lizard really wants people to look to Team America as a model for social and corporate behavior. Nice try though Eastwing et al. #nsfw

    @Modus_Operandi: Ok I agree on review of my comment that I am pretty much saying that, which isn't what I meant really.

    I just meant that the "fags" wasn't actually directed at anyone, it was simply being used in a sarcastic manner because of its association with grenade spamming, rather that as a derogatory word.

    That said, if infinity ward themselves have pulled it, I suppose it wasn't that anyway, so I'll retract my first comment completely.

    (And yeah I know, even if it was sarcastic humour, it shouldn't involve words that are offensive with large, influencial companies) #nsfw
