Thanks for that link Fishepa!! Good info. on the 360 controller. I had no idea you could turn the 360 on/off with the controller. That's a cool addition. Now I'll never have to get up from the couch!

PS - I stickied this thread because I thought it was a good idea.

Yeah, that kind of took me by surprise, too. Man, I can't see me buying the number of games I get for this current generation.

It's going to make everyone become a LOT more picky when deciding whether or not to get a game.

That surprised me. I though I heard that games would increase by $10 making them $59.99?

Oh well... I don't really buy that many games to begin with so I guess it won't affect me all that much. However, the few times that I do get a game not knowing if I'll like it or not, are gone.
