My second refurb had a huge crack in the grill so I'm glad I didn't get that one back. I was furious at that one. They wouldn't fix it for free either.

Any official word on the Stranglehold demo yet?
EDIT:
A mod over at the official Midway forum said that the demo will be out on the 8th, so in about 24 hours from now.

I have that exact same feeling. I think it'll either end up being pretty great, or it'll be the biggest disappointment of the entire year. I could see it getting reviews in the 5 to 6 range with the words "shallow", "repetitive", and "barely updated Max Payne clone" tossed into any number of those reviews, but I really, really hope not.

I've never heard of Geon and i have Puzzle Quest on the DS... although if it is 10$ and has multiplayer i might be courted to buy it again.
I'm an head over heels in love with Puzzle Fighter so i will pick it up for sure.

begin with. The lists get far too long and unorganized with them there.

Ooo - Puzzle Quest and Puzzle Fighter are must-buys for me.
Might get Streets of Rage 2 as well, though I'll have to see how well it has aged.

- Marketplace overhaul (it's a mess trying to find things)
- erasing games from your profile, whether it be arcade demos or full retail games(rentals and such). With all those your profile is a mess.

I'll second (or third) erasing games from your profile. I guess it's not a big deal, but it'll be nice. When my girlfriend created her Live account, at the end it auto-booted my Enchanted Arms, so that shows on her list already. I don't have too much of an issue with the marketplace but I would really wish to not be assault with ads for shit I have no interest in.. I'm PAYING for the service and I have fucking see Sprite, McDonald's and T-Mobile ads everywhere.

You must listen to CheapyD. I agree. If I'm paying for Live, I should have an ad free experience.
