No biggie for me.
There are plenty of games coming out to satisfy me. If EA waits until the
3rd or 4th quarter they will only hurt themselves.

I wish I were in your shoes and had those games. But I am very picky,
and only like certain genres. That's why i am about ready for that
gaming PC.


I don't want to go back to PC gaming. I get too caught up in always trying to have the latest and greatest. I do that enough already with HT equipment. My wife use to hate when I was into PC gaming because of how fast the hardware becomes obsolete.

I turned to the other system the past couple weeks and I will probably stay there until NG2 is released. I don't see another title to pull me away until GeoW2. There are a lot of games on the horizon I want to play on the consoles.
