Getting these on my lunch break today. ISOS6 took fucking long enough to come out here, and I didn't want to spoil it by listening to samples from it early, or d/l pirated versions

What's the word on Tekkonkinkreet?

I'm interested in seeing Black Book. Gorgeous lead actress, WWII espionage, sounds right up my alley.

Seconded. It looks interesting from the ad in EGM this month.

It's an extremely experimental/surreal character driven drama about the connection between people and the town they live in.

He has her greatest hits album, and hid it in his PT Cruiser like last year. I was trying to steal some Gatorade from him when I found it; he claims it's not his, but last week I found it in the car CD player

He also has Peter Frampton's greatest hits

Actually, I didn't choose that package for hardcore-ness, I'm not a Halo or FPS fan at all.

I bought it because it was offered at Costco and had the hdmi/second heat sink. I'm paranoid about expensive shit breaking, and you know, X360 :'(

I didn't have a 360 yet, so the package, although slightly overpriced for what I needed, was a good deal.

$350 x360
$40 extra controller
$60 Halo 3

It also came with a charge/play kit which I don't really need (I've been using rechargeables since the gba days), but it's nice to have I suppose in a pinch.

The other x360 bundle in store was the old Premium without hdmi or heat sink, and I'm sure any bundle I ordered off their website would be the same way. The nice thing about buying it at Costco, when it breaks I can return it, get a brand new one and a price difference return.

So, it beat buying a grey one at Best Buy for me. I also got Gears of War and Madden 2008 yesterday, it's gonna be a good weekend

edit: The controller does look tacky as hell, the console and regular controller look nicer in person than I expected. I really bought the machine for Mass Effect, and eventually KOTOR 3. Also, because the next-gen wars are over. Halo 3 is just a bonus for me.

Wow, that looks EXACTLY like the old footage of Caen that I saw over the weekend when watching a Battlefield episode regarding that fight. The allies, right before the last big push, carpet bombed the entire north section of the city TWICE.

The game looks that good, btw. The lighting and weather they put into COH with the expansion (also patched into vanilla COH) is amazing.
