LOL, you know, <fingers crossed>, this Arcade unit I bought last December
has been one rock solid unit, but I got it solely because I knew it had the
Jasper MOBO; sad isn't it?

I know I've mentioned here quite a few times over the past year that I was
deciding on getting a high end gaming rig, so when I finally broke down and
spent 4k building my own rig, I did this with goal of playing all RPGs, RTS'
on it, and you know better than anyone here that I am an RPG freak. I am
leaving the 360 for shooters only. Maybe next gen, the graphics and
customization will be better and I will switch back, but I am loving my
gaming rig bigtime.

I have admit, I'm fairly stoked on getting Bayonetta and I haven't been this
exciting for a hack-n-slash game since Ninja Gaiden on the og Xbox. There
hasn't been one demo on the 360 for this genre that got me into actually
wanting to buy the game.

The game looks to be exciting, I know it means nothing to you, but the first
one was awesome outside of the graphical issues. I hope the 360 version
isn't the graphical mess the first was.

IGN's Xbox 360 team voted it the number one game on the Xbox 360,
which only goes to show that the video game site is run by a bunch of
giant nerds. ;-)

Voted ME #1? I agree with you and you don't have to include the smiley either.
