We'll see how that goes. It looks like it's only for extra stuff so it'll be interesting to see how the market reacts.

Personally I think Activision is going to hit the saturated phase with COD, cause they've been whoring it out quite a lot. Same thing happened with Guitar Hero and Tony hawk.

I'm a little pissed off at My Player right now. We just traded Kevin Love (and Sebastian Telfair) for Daniel Orton and JJ Redick. W.T.F.!

In my My Player mode, Love got traded for Jeff Green and Troy Murphy! While Wesley Johnson was traded for DeMar Derozan and Anthony Randolph for Ben Wallace!

Now my starting lineup is:
Me @ PG
Derozan @ SG
Beasley @ SF
Green @ PF
Wallace @ C

and Flynn as the 6th man.

Ugh.

I'm pretty sure AR got traded for Mike Dunleavy and a future 1st in mine. Oh yeah, my starting PF last game was Martell Webster.

I normally turn computer trades off because of BS like that. It's the worst part of that game.

I'm having a baby soon, and I'm on my 5th Xbox360. I'm taking the stance that I'm not going to buy a "new" system till its near the end of its run, the hardware is done upgrading and I can read reviews on all the games till my hearts content. No more Force Unleashed sized letdowns and just fire up Dragon Age and get faced with 3 rings crap.

Well you guys have done it. I went out and bought Demon Souls. Took me 3 stores to find it. Going to try it out in a little bit.

PS store finally up and running. Downloading my free games (I chose the zombie game and Infamous, since I don't like racing games, and Little Big Planet was boring after a while...even though I beat Infamous back in the day).

So him running into a pack of enemies including a dragon answers my question of - is it as difficult as Demons Souls?

It seems you play a different game every night Calinks... haha.

I mainly only have Black Ops as far as online play is concerned... I guess RE5 but I like to solo that most of the time...

We've been friends for a while but haven't play anything yet.... I guess I need to buy some games....
