    2k loses their exclusivity after this year... thank god. They have improved, but I don't think it is close to what could and should be. They aren't going to re-up either. They have lost a ton on the deal. I am hoping ea gets to jump back in for 2013

    What makes the show so good?
    Extreme detail.

    Almost everything in the game is true to form. It plays beautifully, The Road to the Show (which is a player development portion of the game) is amazing. Franchise is near perfect, and no matter what game mode you play, you feel like you're in the game!
    I have friends who aren't even baseball fans who get this every year!

    Skyrim update: I am now the Arch Mage of the college. I bought a horse and while fighting a dragon a wooly mammoth killed it. Then last night I drove it off the side of a mountain and we both died.

    Sony owns the studio/developer who makes it. The best you can hope for is a competitor to make just as good of a game.
    I wish the Show developers made a football game!! I can't stand Madden anymore!

    I think the NFL and EA still has a few years on their deal....

    I've gotten a little burned out on Skyrim. I've probably played 2 hours total over the past week. I'll probably get back into it though, just needed a break. I got back into the main quest thinking that might renew my interest, but it didn't work. Of course, listening to Max von Sydow babble about dragons and ancient carvings may have not been the best plan for upping the excitement level.

    So how is the franchise? Do you have owner options like ticket prices, finances, attendance, etc? Do crowd amounts change? Do teams move? Stadium improvements, etc... To me, these are important and rare.

    I have a ps3, never bought a game for it, but considering this. Fed up with 2Ks for 360.

    all of this. the detail reminds me of FIFA. i have never been a soccer fan but have been playing FIFA for a good 10 years now.

    Yeah, it pretty much has everything you can imagine.

    anyone download gotham city imposters?

    held off, held off, and pulled the trigger the other day. VERY fun FPS, well worth the $15 (plus they are throwing in a lot of free DLC in march).

    wasn't 100% sold at first, but as i unlocked better stuff and was able to hold my own and not get my ass kicked game after game it definitly grew on me. was in a party with five of my buddies lastnight and it was hilarious.

    Very fun game.

    Was it one of the originals or the new black one?

    I think I had the red ring of death three times but all but one was covered under warranty. The last time, I had my PS3 disc reader go out nearly the same time (2 weeks after the Sony warranty expired :( ). Xbox cost $120 and PS3 cost $150. So I spent nearly $300 fixing next generation systems while my NES from 1985 still works just fine.

    It's an original. I bought it refurbished 2 years ago so I did get some decent use out of it. Looks like I'll just have to buy one of the new black ones. Will I be able to just use my old hard drive and snap it on to the new one? If so, I'll just go with the 4GB model for $200.

    That happened to me when I was 1 month out of warranty. They would not cut me any slack.

    I ended up buying a new one with a 120gb memory. You can just use your existing one... however, you can order a transfer kit through XBox (its free I believe) and you can move all your data to a new hard drive.

    I actually dont regret getting the new xbox. The HDMI output enhances the whole thing a great deal.

    You have to get a data transfer cord to transfer data to the hard drive unless you have a memory card that is big enough to transfer your data and profile. Here is a link to the cord:

    http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Data-Transfer-Cable/dp/B003S9WJ9A/ref=pd_sim_vg_1

    Also, Amazon has the 4 GB model on sale for $180.

    The one great thing about the black model is that it is whisper quiet compared to the older model which sounds like a jet turbine.

    update: my girlfriend started playing, created a female character. She now has a Lydia follower, they look like twins. Kind of cool - all the clothing and armor she finds are female shaped, they have boobs

    I am really liking the vita. High quality machine. Imo it is vastly superior to the 3ds.
