Analyzing my gaming habits, I hardly do any portable gaming at all.  I have a PSP and I've gotten some great use out of it to justify the cost that it was when I got it, but seeing how much the 3DS is, I think to myself that I would rather save that money for a new laptop for gaming purposes.  That price point is just way too much for me to even consider purchasing it when compared to how much I would actually use it. 
 
It would also feel like I was getting the Wii all over again.  Spend all that money and see it gather dust.

I voted for gameplay simply because even if the story was amazing, the gameplay would tarnish the experience so that it probably wouldn't be as enjoyable.  It's a catch-22, but I would rather play a game and get some worth out of it rather than buying a game and not playing it because I didn't feel like it or couldn't.

The video game business is a serious one.  How serious?  You tell me... 
 

I have around a level 20 siren as well if you want to hit me up.  Grant it I still have to download the expansion, but if you want to jump on give me a shout.  My tag is nastyman 123.  But yeah, give me some warning so I can download the damn thing.

I don't understand why developers are trying to make their consoles more of a social experience when, I believe, the majority of people just want to play games.  I thought it was great when Microsoft enabled cross game chatting since that combined the social aspect with being able to still play the game you want to play.  This is just....a waste.  I don't get it.  I don't want to waste my time talking to people like this when I could just as easily be doing that AND playing a game at the same time already.

Seems like the normal business decision to me.  I can certainly understand why people would be upset if their game is being shut down, but in the greater picture, these games don't really represent all that much.  If it's an operating loss for the business, then it only makes sense for EA to shut them down.
