So I basically just got Madden 2010 for free. Sports Illustrated is running a deal if you pay for a 1 year subscription ($49) you get the game for any system as a free gift. I wasnt planning on buying the game originally, but I like SI, and if I can get a free (basically) $60 game out of it, I'm all about it!!

Just got back from K-Mart, figuring I could snag The Sega Collection there, but they didn't have it.
I was really tempted by the Guitar Hero World Tour deal. In addition to the game being advertised for $29.99, the game and guitar set is... $29.99.

You know, 2 days ago, I ended up going to Gamestop, and picked up The Godfather:The Game. You know, I heard how it was pretty good, and thought it would be something to enjoy. Well, 2 days later, here's my view.
F** This Game!
Never in my gaming life has a game ever pissed me off like this one. Lord knows I've had played a lot of bad games, but this one just pisses me off worse than anything else. The maps and stuff are as far from user friendly as possible, most of the time, you can't tell where the hell you're going, and the weapons suck. It's a pain in the ass to find something, from ammo to missions to other crap I was looking for. I kept dying, and damn that got annoying fast. I was able to upgrade myself,and you know what? Whether it was Level 1 or Level 10 for Health, no matter how much health the game told me I had, I kept dying from a few shots from guns. Getting gunned down by guys with Tommy Guns with infinite ammo because my pistol takes 10 seconds to reload happened WAY too many goddamn times for me. Even with the Story interesting enough for me to keep going for a while, the rest of this crap bucket of it keeps pulling me away till I don't care anymore. In fact, I'm better off just renting The Godfather and seeing that instead. Least then I would actually get to see Al Pacino act......
I'm bringing this back tomorrow, and getting something else. I'll probably get Bully, cause I know I will enjoy that game, since I loved it on PS2.

Really? You kept dying on Godfather II? I found the game to be ridiculously easy and that's most of the complaints I heard about it.

I'll get on as soon as I can get a wireless router and get it configured in my bedroom, I can't hook up to the modem we have at this new place, and I'm not buying a wireless adapter unless it becomes drastically cheaper.

Hey guys, a SWEET deal from Capcom is coming our way on September 8th. Capcom is bundling 3 of their best selling 360 titles, Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Colonies Edition, and Devil May Cry 4 into one package. You get all 3 titles for only $40.
Sweet deal if I say so myself. Only problem? The box art looks HORRID....

I mean, it still is awesome...it's just not awesome for me

I own DR already, but maybe I'll buy that box set anyways and sell off one of the DR's.

So when does this new xbox live update happen? Like around 6 am for the East coast, so everyone else can figure it out according to their zone.

Just did the update and screwed around a little...
I like the clothing marketplace idea but wow... I just don't see people shelling for some of the generic clothes and basic stuff like Halo shirts. Maybe that's just me being a cheapskate, though. The stuff like the Splinter Cell suits, the UNSC Halo 3 ODST outfit and some of the themed stuff like the Fable II and Pirate stuff, yeah. But shelling out for fairly generic glasses or pants or Adidas shoes? Meh.

Wow, Arkham Asylum kicks all kinds of major ass.
Not a Batman fanatic though so I will wait until it drops in price.

The only thing that I saw I wanted was the Clone Trooper, but I wouldn't pay for it.

I was really tempted by some of the Monkey Island stuff, but I'd rather keep the few hundred points I have left.
One thing about the new update - is there any real purpose behind the whole "Gold Member Veterans" feature?

They hinted in the preview that veteran members would be getting exclusive benefits or something like that. By the way, any Netflix members want to try out the Party feature with me sometime after 6 eastern?
