I really can't say I'm suprised by the outcome and quit frankly I don't really care. I think we need to let the standard DVD market flourish for anthor ten years anyways but clearly thats not an option here. Sony Fanboys are estatic (a little to estectic). I don't have an HDTV (yet) so I could really careless. The Technology is still too exspensive. Yes I'm aware of the higher capicty that blu-ray discs have but slow down here not everyone is ready for the switch. I will give sony credit for playing the right cards.

A while back some of you remember the controversy that was being made over the resident evil 5 trailer. Civil Rights activists making the usual rant about what ever comes they're way. Today Whilesearching for whatever Media I could finda resident evilamusement parkattraction. I came across some kind of article that was equating thehorror genre with class struggle and racism and Gentrification. I personally think that people are looking into the context too deeply. Resident evilwas created by Japanese team, they have no race problems in Japan(that I know of), so to say that they are racist isn't necessarily true.The games setting dictates the race of the(not)zombies so it wouldn't make if we sawalot of other races. The games has already taken place in the city, the various underground labs and of course a mansion. so it make sense this has nothing to do with racial issues or aids. I think people are looking into this too seriously. I'm tried ofEnglish teachers always trying totell us that there's some kind of message to every story. Back in middle school when we had to do book conferences some the books i read weren't indent for that kind of interpretation so I'd make something up but back on to the point literary analysisis unnecessary when I watch a movie, play a video game, or reada book I'm doing it forsake of entertainment andto pick up on some kind of message the author supposedly is telling me nor am I looking for symbolism.So o make my point clearzombies are not some kind of lower class or racial group being tormented by the living they attacked first end of argument. On a side English should no longer be necessary after sophomore year of high school.

Seriously, so what if Bioshock got 9.0 it's not like it's the end of the world. Thats still a very good score. To be honest I was not really intrested in the game in the first place and I proablly won't pick it up for a long time if ever. All of the forums there are getting redundent with most the topics all about the disapoint ment over the the review. You'll all forget about this soon enough when Halo 3 is released.

Looks like the PS3 lost another exsclusive. In the lastes issue of OXM the "Rumor Mole" states that there will be a port of Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Xbox 360. This port is beeing worked on by a non- Kojima led team and will hip a couple of months after it's realsed on the PS3. One can only specu;ate what this could entale. Could 360 owners get extra content? Does this mean the PS3 is dead? Will other games like Final Fantasy XIII follow this change of platforms? i sure hope so I really do not have the money to spend on a PS3? Just so I can paly a couple of games that are not availble on the 360 or Wii. Will sony be forced into a real price drop and not a change of SKUs?

I just got an emil from Master Replicas stating that theses fine to replicas are for sale.
