But at that point, I don't see why any self-respecting gamer would buy a Wii over a 360

he said he'd pick up a used 20 GB HDD and sell the 512MB mem card

Okay fine, replace "self-respecting gamer" with "everyone, including old people."

Post by: Bocsius on August 25, 2008, 08:46:11 PM: Easy solution, there. Buy the game for the system you own.

Forget the game on the system you don't own.

Post by: Bocsius on September 03, 2008, 09:21:44 PM: Starts September 5, in case anyone missed it on other internets.

Hindsight being what it is, it probably would have been a better idea to start this before last weekend to get those people perhaps bored on a long holiday weekend to do that whole jumping in thing.

Of course, it would have been an even better idea to do this in 2006, so whatever.
