Thanks for another mention! That's 2 in a row! You got my name wrong this time, but that's ok, I forgive you.

most FPS shooters come out for those systems.. there are very few FPS on the Wii... and if they do come out on the Wii they have to change some of the gameplay, but you rarely see FPS being released on all three consoles.. I believe Call of Duty World at War is one of the few.

I meant in general, FPS's tend to be the best selling games on the other consoles, but are barley blip on the radar of the Wii. If they are superior, wouldn't pubilshers be making more of them?

Nice work CheapyD also awesome pic XD!

the best selling FPS on the 360 and PS3 are console exclusives except Call of Duty, which release World at War on the Wii... the rest like Far Cry 2 and FEAR 2 possible couldn't be done on the Wii because of it's brutality or blood, the developers probably thought since the Wii is more family focused that these games wouldn't sell well on there to begin with.

Also, regarding the NXE, I don't think it's an issue with the new dash. I think it's problems on the back end. The only time things lag for me are when I'm interacting with LIVE some how. Browsing marketplace content is especially slow for me. I think they need to get the service under control, not make any changes to the interface itself.

I think you're right, im in Europe and i never have any of these lags Cheapy and Wombat are talking about, opening a message never takes longer than 5secs for me

Superior has nothing to do with it. It's about market.

Tell your wife she is lucky. I know plenty of licensed architects and others in the design field who have been canned or got a pay cut w/o the revised schedule.

Counter Strike 1.6 and Quake Live totally ignore the "good graphics" argument.

Sorry about your wife Wombat,

I work for a firm in Philadelphia and every other firm around has had massive layoff's. We get about 10 resumes every day. The only reason were alright is because most of the jobs we have are with the city and we got most of them before everything went to shit.

I think some of the lag in NXE might be do to the Hard drive. I have a 20 gb drive and when I look up my arcade games it will take about 10 seconds for the Arcade Game section to appear. My friend has the 120 gb drive and his shows up instantly which is weird since he has around 150 arcade games and I have around 30.

For me the show freezes after Cheapy says $400. This s not a joke. I tried pause and play again 10 times and it just repeats either dollars or over $400. What causes that?

I wonder if formatting your hdd might make it faster...

I also wonder how much broadband speed plays a role in the response time. It looks like its still mostly on Microsofts end, but I wouldn't rule out broadband latency as part of the issue.

Hey Cheapy & Wombat:

Just wanted to say that your discussion of game pricing, and how companies punish their fans with their desire to suck us dry with lame pre-order bonuses and overpriced DLC.
(Capcom could have easily given people who got the CE all of the extra costumes. so we can have them early, rewarding us for shelling out the extra cash)
But heres and idea, looking at amazon's model, ive been noticing how when a some games come out they the preorder price is a little cheaper. Although on amazon the price is 3 bucks less in most cases.

Just think a AAA game where you go into gamestop and say if you preorder it you only pay 49.99, im sure something like that would definite get fans and others alike to 1 preorder and 2 be rewarded for supporting that companies game, and since the 59.99 is the new industry standard. i doubt later purchasers will even know or care that it people who oreordered got a discount.

i have fios.. and I am able to download fast with my connection but i do have the same issue.

We'll see how well MadWorld does before counting blood out of Wii games...

I hope it does well.

wow, wombat sounds a LOT better.

I'm so glad Wombat likes Wall-E. I felt kind of weird for liking it so much at my age, I felt a little old for it. I actually bought the DVD for it and I pretty much never do that. I loved Wall-E, I almost cried the first time, but I manned up. It also has some hilarious understated humor that you probably won't catch the first time around.. I now laugh every time I go to Costco because it reminds me so much of Buy-N-Large. Cheapy should definitely watch it... actually everyone should see it at least once.

I don't know why, but I really enjoyed this episode more than other recent episodes. Good job CheapyD and Wombat. I am also excited for the "Play With Us" night.
