[quote name='sicsonic']Bad form, m$. What a way to start the beginning of the end of the promotion. If there is a SoA next year, I'll guarantee it'll be the last.[/QUOTE]
Funny, at first I read SoA as Sony of America, then I realized it was meant to be Summer of Arcade. Still fits though...
I did feel a bit let down by Microsoft this year. The new media for the AAA titles was okay, but not great. The Smart Glass app and the browser announcement actually grabbed my attention more than the games did. Looks like Microsoft is eating Apple's and Nintendo's lunch, (air-play like app that functions with any tablet that looks like it'll put the Wii U tablet to shame).
Even with the non-game offerings, there was still that lurking feeling in the back of my head that next year's reveal of the 360's successor is going to blow anything shown this year out of the water. The rumor mill is running rampant now. Word is that we'll see a 16 core processor with a quad card SLI configuration for graphics. I'll be ready to plunk down my money on day one, provided they don't screw us out of used games, and we don't get "EA-d", (project $10 for every game).
