I loved the Superman one back when I first saw it (I wanted to get it framed but could never bring myself to mutilating the mag to get it). I have a ton more for this thread, just have to find time to get to them. So please, keep posting them, hopefully others will like them too.

Gotten behind badly this weekend, I have that issue. Going to be getting that, and many others to e-day, ASAP.

The Xbox was more powerful than the PS2 and it didn't come close to overtaking it. Just because you are the more powerful system doesn't guarantee success (look at history, marketing is usually what wins for the respective system).

Um, Jesus is not in mythology though. Maybe GOW3 will be a simcity type game or something, you know, playing a god...

Not sure on the story for part 3 (like you said, really, what is left?).

The US got part one of the Shining Force 3 trilogy set. Japan of course, got all three editions.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45514.html Looks like it could be gameplay footage of the new God of War III game for PS3.

That is weird. Did you wink or something at her? I mean, here, they see that it is anything that could be copyrighted and start asking questions about it. The end result is usually the same though, no printing without a written release from say, Nintendo or whomever.

Did the Kinko's people throw a fit over the copyrights? They usually do when I go in there to get things printed, that is why I am asking. That is a cheap price for something like that (much cheaper than doing it at home).

This is Capcom we are talking about, you know there are going to be revisions to the original. I have yet to see more than one screen shot of it and some people talking about it (waiting to try it hands on).

The proof is in the pudding. Aren't there a bunch of former exclusives to the PS3 being made for other systems? Sucks, but someone is going to be in last place when more than one competitor is out there.

I guess I can forget seeing a new Streets of Rage then... If Sega had stuck by the stuff that got them ahead of Nintendo for awhile in the 16 bit days, things could be wildly different today. Imagine had the Saturn launched with a new 2.5 Sonic (running on the Clockwork Knight engine)? Later on, say around the time that Sony was getting Crash ready, they could have dropped a fully 3D Sonic game (but sadly that would have required planning). Where did they forget and leave others like Alex Kidd, Monster World, Phantasy Star, Knuckles (they put him out in one game, why stop there?), Chakan, Shinobi (the one that Saturn did get doesn't really count) and what about a remake or new sequel for Golvelious or some of the other countless games they dropped the ball on? I think life would have been different for most gamers if Sega would have just stuck by their IP's and released them.

What is Haku doing in there too? Where is Demolition? I am suprised to see Ultimate Warrior though (after the scandal and stuff a few years ago-but they own the character don't they, not him?). Where is Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard "The Brain Busters"? They have Shawn Michaels, would it be that hard to get Marty Janetty and have a virtual "The Rockers" available? I am going to take a serious look at Street Fighter 4 when it is released. I want to get a new system, rather than upgrade my current computer (mainly because this freebie is going to require a total replacement, saving the hard drives and DVD burner and adding the remainder to my cluster). I am still on the fence about the 360 and PS3 at the moment (fiance is not interested in a Wii, her sister had one and we played it a bit but never really 'liked' it for some reason (before anyone starts saying SF4 is not on Wii, I know that, just didn't want to forget the Wii).

It would be awesome if they did somekind of crossover with the two games. I am a big fan of Puzzle Quest, somewhat a fan of Tekken and think it would be really cool to have something like Puzzle Fighter with the two together.

Hopefully Legends of Wrestlemania will be better than the Legends of Wrestling games (at least I have heard they could have been a lot better, really need to get into at least last generation). I like games like Super Double Dragon, have you tried Beats of Rage? I liked Street Fighter II back in the day, I will at least try IV out when they have it up at the game store (unless my fiance gets the PC version-which would require me upgrading my PC, that could be good. ).

As far as I see it, yeah, you are pretty much right about the pricing MS is using. I mean, they are doing it like the auto industry or PC sellers like Dell. I don't hate them for doing it, I mean, they are doing what they have to do to make sales (unfortunately, that includes a break prone system at the moment, any news on the newer 'Jasper' systems and their quality?). Right now it is easier to justify buying a base system for $200 and buying just the stuff you want later rather than buying a higher priced system and getting it all at once (of course, Blu Ray is nice, but you can live and play games without it, so are wireless controllers, but again, those are optional additions). The Live fees are, well, there. The quality of the service and what is being offered is good isn't it? Me personally, I am looking at getting a PS2 and some of the good games (God of War series, some of the Lego games and one of the Gran Turismo's, probably the newest since it is a Greatest Hits edition now for $20). I will probably get an Xbox 360 or PS3 someday, although the PS3 and linux is enticing to me, just not $500+ enticing.

Yeah, I got into Puzzle Quest. I like it, have it on PSP and PC. Fun game except when it cheats really bad.

Do you run Playstationmuseum?

I would get it but my fiance has pretty much 'singapore cained' me at fighting games so I am staying away from it, but that is not to say, that I won't play if she buys it....

The NES was great because of the extent Nintendo was able to cover the board.I remember having a friend in school, his parents got him one of the NES system bundles that came with the exercise pad or whatever it was, because they wanted him to work out more. He gained weight but still, Nintendo probably earned more than a couple sales with various bundles. They had what 4 with the original NES? Mario/Duck Hunt, one with ROB, one with the Dance/exercise pad and another I thought.

Depends I guess on the success of previous DLC, look at music, most people scoffed that no one would pay $1 per song to download it, but look at what Apple has done. It could still be left in though. I see the guys and gals working on the new untried IP's or ideas being the hardest hit with this situation.

Another 3DO situation huh? I figure Capcom or SNK will go for the Mortal Kombat IP. Namco-Bandai may try but I don't think they will be able to justify it after purchasing D3.

It seems that Nintendo has hit that sweet spot in the gamer's mind again (something they kind of missed with the N64 and Gamecube for whatever reason).

Did they have any ads in those 'Special Collector's Issues'? Usually they charge double because they don't run ads in them (some do though).

I wonder if in say, 10 years there will end up being a internal memo from Microsoft leaked that is saying something similar to the sales going up if they release a shoddy designed system so people have to replace it.
