Let me guess the gameplay...

-You drive around running over people
-You run around shooting people
-You kill hookers after they blow you

***Yawn***

Well I guess that's a LOT better than run here and hit the a button 40 times, finish level, rinse and repeat.

I can't wait to see how some of these franchises fare on the current gen systems. I'll definitely be renting GTA as soon as I can from GameFly.

Other franchise titles I can't wait to play....Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil

Where did I say that was better? Hey to each their own, but the series has become stale and boring.

I bet you they even have funny commercials on the car radio....

nah....I might get one this year but more than likely I'll pick one up after their next price drop. If I wait at least a year I think they'll drop the 80gb down to $300-400 That should also give them enough time to get some of these titles off and running.

nah...I'm not much of a Star Wars guy. My son might want it if he sees it but I can do without.

Before you buy one, there is a rumor that they are getting rid of the 80gb model and replacing it with 120-160gb and will include the dual shock 3 controller. No backwards compatibility though. Just an FYI.
