On a site of personalities he,a) has one, b) meshes well with the group (@jeff in particular) and c) is interested/knowledgable in an area of games that the others maybe are not.
And I guess d) everyone here seems to want him to be.
I trust Valve (probably too much), but we've seen controllers like this in the past. Hell, the NES had something similar to this. And they've all just felt weird.
But, if anyone can make weird things like this work it's Valve. Having it completely open and hackable is a nice touch too. (GET IT?!?!)
I think most launch line-ups were/are straight-up crap, but this is just more motivation to wait until 2014 to pick up a console. Plus, we get to see if there are any hardware issues that plagued Microsoft's last launch.
Is anyone having a problem using their converted points? I ended up with a Microsoft account balance of $14.50 after the conversion, and I went to buy Brothers on my console, but it wouldn't let me apply the $14.50 to my purchase (it wasn't selectable at all, I could only pay with my credit card). I then went to the Xbox site, and the Microsoft account value is conspicuously absent. I figured it would be the same setup as PSN when buying something that costs more than your balance (apply balance and pay the difference). Anyone else? Any ideas?
I'm curious about this too. I've got $4.50 on my account and it's not applying to anything at all. I'm constantly having to put my credit card in to purchase things.
These are all promotional points too that I got from taking their surveys and using Bing. So, if they don't apply forward, then expire after a certain date, well Microsoft just got some free work out of me...
