The stand-alone sounds too much to me, but the $300 bundle isn't a bad deal for the new demographic they're trying to lure (family/casual). I can see a family with young kids looking to get their first console and figuring a little more for an HD console which also streams Netflix and does away with the remote control making sense.
I think MS is actually treating this as a soft launch for this new technology and plans to take what they learn from it to incorporate fully into their next console (like they did with XBLA).
That's kind of funny. So, in other words, "looking into it" and "resolving the problem" meant having them just wait a day for the calendar to roll over. I wonder if the same thing will happen again in 4 years?
Good choice for Guilty Pleasure. I also picked it up for $10 and it was well worth that. Runner's Up for Guilty Pleasure, for me, would be Jurassic: The Hunted and Wet (both of which I got for under $15).
Strange that it requires a disc. Oh well, I'll just continue streaming it from my 360's as I'm too lazy to get up to put a disc in if I just want to watch a movie (that's kind of the point of a streaming movie service as opposed to putting in a DVD/BD, right?).
Apologies in advance if this was posted previously (I didn't see anything recent on it). It looks like Sony finally released the API's so sites like Giant Bomb can now add our trophies to the existing 360 and Steam achievements (PlayFire and a few other websites have already incorporated this feature). Will Giant Bomb's resident web guru (Dave, I think?) be adding this feature any time soon? Thanks!
