Glad to hear that something is helping the 360 in Japan.

Sweet. I didn't know they were going to release a demo for this. This one was off my radar until I saw a video of the "Nail the Trick" mode a few weeks ago. That mode looks incredible and seems like it could be a great addition to the typical Tony Hawk gameplay, and now I'll be able to see if it plays as good as it looks.

Yep, now if only they have something lined up for a month or two down the road to keep the momentum going. It really sounds like this generation is still up in the air. This can can only be good news for us since the harder they fight, the less we pay.

As far as I can tell, I just paid $7.50 for pretty colors.

EDIT: Ah, there are going to be a variety of $1 - $5 Artist packs in the future; including that Madonna one I saw at E3.
Okay, that's re-goddamned-diculous. First they charge you extra to actually buy the full game, then they charge you even more for specific known artists? I wonder if this was Microsoft's idea or the guys that publish Lumines.

the worst part is that they used the Madonna images/video to promote this game, so it really made it look like that was included when you got the game. extremely deceptive if you ask me.

Maybe something to do with licensing of particular songs? Or maybe they figure some people wouldn't want to listen to Madonna? It is a shame that we are being nickle and dimed for this game though; no matter how good it may be.

A new switch box designed around the 360: click here

Kinda cool that it has the proprietary 360 port, but how funny will this look in your entertainment rack once the 360 is no longer your gaming machine of choice in 4-5 years?

Region free version of Assassin's Creed at Play-Asia with a limited 12" collectible statue. $75 shipped. Play-Asia Link

Pretty sweet price. There will supposedly be one released here for $100. Not to mention all other collector's editions pale in comparison for $75. Compare to other Collector's Editions (metal tin + worthless DVD) for the same price after tax. No comparison in my book.

I already pre-ordered one. My first Play-Asia order.

I think there was video in the background.

They should've made Lumines a retail release for $40 with a bunch of videos. This is a travesty.

With work, school,many responsibilities at my place of worship,and having a decent social life, I rarely have time to play my 360. Well not rarely but its like 2 maybe 3 times for about an hour or so on a really good week. Sometimes it sits there for a week without action. However, ever since I sent it in due to the "red lights of death", I have been itching to get into the multitude of demos released lately, NBA 2k7 and even Maden 07. It should be back next week.With Smackdown coming soon, the new Sonic, Bioshock and other games on my to buy list, the holiday season will be jammed packed with 360 for me. (sings)Don't it always seem to go, that you dont know what you've got til its gone (sings)
