Back on the market and games though; Friday morning NPR ran a small report during the morning news talking about how video games are a booming market in a down economy.  They did some street interviews with people that were really exicited about games in the game isle of some Best Buy.  That turned out to be way too much cheese to hear at 5:50am on my way to work.  Then also listening to the 1up yours podcast the same subject came up over there this week.  They were stating a similar trend had happened after 9/11 back in '01.  They called it people going into a "nesting" mode.  As we're going into the fall big time release season I'm sure this will turn out pretty well for the big game publishers this year.
