And they got a lot of people to get HD TVs. Mine is 1080i and I always felt I needed something better, but now I don't much care. What I got is just fine.

I know. I'm scared for them. One of my podcasts was talking about price differences today and why Steam can sell games for so cheap and MS and Sony have to charge full price for downloadable versions on their consoles. Something about the lack of retail presence for PC games and their inability to be resold at stores like Gamestop makes the publishers more willing to make deals to sell cheaper on PC. A Steam machine could really pull the rug out from under MS and Sony. The machine will be more expensive than consoles, but the games will be so much cheaper.

I liked the first Killzone, that's part of it for me. I was awed by the 3D footage for Killzone 3. I think I played the demo for Killzone 2 and didn't like it much though. Anyway, I like the Killzone universe and great graphics just makes me even more interested.

Oh man. Wanted to hear about Etrian Odyssey IV. I've put in some time into it but not nearly enough, maybe 10 hours or so. I so want to get back to it.

I remember I played a bunch of games on original Xbox that got "upgraded" versions on Xbox 360 the very next year like Gun, Far Cry, Burnout Revenge, and Just Cause. They were all full price too. I'm sure Tomb Raider's price on new consoles with drop pretty quickly after the people who haven't already played it buy it.

My favorite moment in Half-Life 2 was playing for The One Free Bullet achievement on 360. You could only use the gravgun, crowbar, grenades, and rockets (you don't get many and you have to use them against those flying things). I became an expert at improvising with the gravgun. It was really a much better experience without bullets. Well, you had to use one bullet to shoot off a lock at the beginning of the game, but none after that.

That Kirby Air Ride song is neat.

Yea. I remember this complaint last gen when it was discovered most games on 360 were only running at 720p or less. Why buy a 1080p TV if the games don't run at that rate? Is it still true the new systems struggle to get to 1080p? Maybe I can hold off on a new TV another year or two.

I was so close to getting Pokemon Conquest but like all Pokemon games, i got turned aside by the kiddy-fresh graphics. I gotta get over it and just get it. It seems like a game I would like.

Action figures are cool. I have one I couldn't resist when I saw it at Gamestop. The Brute Leader Tartarus from Halo 2.
