Yeah, I figured that the article meant Sony was going to make the peripheral or something... which would be odd.

I finally got around to popping in Portal last night. What a giant cock-tease of a game. 
The first 17 levels were cake (har har) leaving level 18 which was very challenging and 19 which was easy, albeit long.
It ended right when it felt like things were just getting started. It was a good ride though. There were some good laughs which is hard to pull off in a game and there was cake. Or was there? The final song was cute but, as expected, it had zero chance of living up to the hype it has had at this point.
I also finished Spiderman: Friend or Foe yesterday. That's a fun little game. I actually played alongside my 3 year old daughter. She was actually figuring out the controls and knocking out the bad guys. It's a great co-op experience with a younger one.

Anyways, this discussion is better suited in the HD Forum instead of the VG Forum.

Unless they switch their games to Blu-ray Discs, HD talk should mostly be in the HD Forum, just as it is now for the PS3.
There are already a few threads over there discussing this.

Hey, have you guys heard that the 360 can generate some heat?
Check this out, I've got my 360 in my entertainment center with a drawer just above it. When the 360 is on, the items in this drawer (wiimotes, other controllers, etc) can get quite warm.
The other night my wife needed to thaw some PB&J Uncrustables for the kiddos and she put them in this hot box for a few minutes to do the job since it was already playing her iPod. I thought it was hilariously ingenious and had to share.

I would get that to an open-air space asap.

Just a head's up regarding a couple of titles I saw on clearance at Target this weekend. Certainly YMMV, but worth a shot. Bee Movie, Blue Dragon, and a Fast and Furious-style driving game (the name escapes me) were red-stickered at $12.98 each. Picked up Bee as an Easter gift for my son and almost bit on BD.

Well, it's always YMMV but the overwhelming majority on CAG are finding them between $12.48 and $14.98. So it is worth a shot.
I found all the above at those prices except for Ninja Gaiden which was $29.98 and Blue Dragon which I didn't see at all.

Me neither. I do recall seeing that one there, but it was priced in the mid $20s.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Gears 2 isn't on that list. Maybe it's too old.
