    It really does. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
    A couple guys at IGN said they played it (or part of it) and said that it was more or less incredible!
    From what I've seen, it'll be a day one purchase! :D

    I think they will carry over.
    The biggest thing for me was the always-online rumours but I'm glad that got put to bed.

    Still won't be in any rush to get one. Current gen is alive and well. Besides, after terms like RROD and YLOD what's the rush to get in on this generation, right?

    Yeah, I will be waiting for the second gen of the 720. After buying the initial release of the 360 and dealing with freezes and disc errors for years I finally had to pay $80 to get my RROD fixed this year. Plus I am at least a full year behind on games anyway.

    i bought my 360 back in 2008 or early 2009 and shockingly, never got the red ring of death, but i think at that point, xbox was learning from their initial release mistakes and fixed a couple things that people were complaining about after their xboxs were getting fried. so i think i have one of those "corrected" consoles.

    although, randomly my xbox does sound like a jet that is about to take off.

    a while back i remember seeing a video on youtube of a guy frying an egg on his PS3 :lol::lol:

    Yeah, this looks badass. Same folks that made Uncharted, I think?

    Im dying for a new game. Ive been re-playing old ones cause I cant get into anything good.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    The PS4 it will be .
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Kinect - 1080p HD RGB camera, 30 FPS color, and "time of flight" technology which speeds it up. 2GB/s of data. Can now detect rotation of a wrist or shoulder, along with transfer of balance from one foot to another. It can even read your heartbeat.

    That is creepy.

    I don't want a camera pointed at me while I'm sitting in my living room.

    They did what Sony should have done. So ... do you have your pre-order in?

    The Forza race wheel had better be compatable. :x
