yeah, just DONT touch it or has it move the smallest bit  
It will eat the disk  
and dont let it heat up

I’m buying a wii.  
Xbox’s line up kinda sucks 😕  
How long has that thing been out and there is on 2 games I would have bought since launch  
(Oblivion -better on the pc too (mods/loadtimes/patches) and project gotham racing) Not worth the money to me.  
PS3 I am going to wait on and wait till they launch and get about10 games I want out and then buy  
The wii I will buy on launch as long as the controller works as well as it should.

You’d be surprised… considering what I’ve seen of the 360 so far, and keeping in mind that these are all first gen games that don’t get anywhere near the true abilities of the system, that very well could be real time.

And considering the shit storm that Sony got caught in when it was discovered that the Killzone 2 video from last year wasn’t real time, I’m sure that MS wanted to avoid that.

And… the next book by Nylund (wrote _Fall of Reach_ and _First Strike_) is due out October 31.  
EDIT: Book title is _Ghosts of Coral_  
EDEDIT: If anyone that is somewhat into the games hasn’t read the book. Do so. They fill in so much of the story it adds another level to the game itself.

I went through [gamestop.com](http://gamestop.com) and came up with this list I would attempt to play on 360

Blue Dragon  
Chromehounds  
Halo 3  
Enchanted Arms  
Lost Odyssey  
Gears of War  
Fable 2  
Lost Planet

Games 60x8= 480  
System 400  
accessories 120

eek 1,000 without tax…

Problem is I do not have that kind of money to spend and none of these games are out yet. They need to hack this shit for me then I will think of buying one.
