You know, I've never played any version of Madden for any system ever, yet year after year I read the reviews with interest. Oh, and the inevitable/loveable comments about how NFL 2K5 is still better than whatever the current version of Madden is (and it probably is, but I haven't played it either, the last NFL 2Kx I… Read more

You (quite correctly) indicate Microsoft has a 4GB system to offer a lower price point, and hopes people will upgrade it over time; I was suggesting Sony created a new SKU specifically in the hopes that very few people would take advantage of the price drop on the old SKU. … Read more
If you like platformers, some of the very best of this generation are on Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG), many of them costing only $1. For a platformer fan, therefore, I'd lean that way more than a PS3. Read more
Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG) has tonnes of awesome platformers, many of them costing only $1. That, more than XBLA, makes the 360 the natural choice for a platformer fan, IMO. Read more
