Sega thought that too, which is why EA practically bought out every sport.

It's not really that for me. It does look a LOT better than XBox. I think thats the benchmark.

I wouldn't say a LOT better, it is better, but it's not a huge jump, and it didn;t totally bllow me away like i though it would, it is much better in some aspects (like with the jagged lines) though

Heartbreaking, isn't it? Not only did EA eliminate all of it's competition, but it drove other businesses down and created an assured high price point on it's products for years to come.

the sf2 game will be used on Xbox Live Marketplace, and will have online play, of course. i would also prefer sf33s.

Until it can beat XBMC? You talking about a modded box which would create a work around? I can't freakin wait.

I don't get why Microsoft had to do that though. I mean, technically it shouldn't be necesary, right?

I really like marketplace. They are doing a great job with demo's and stuff. I'd would have liked to see a special christmas or new years gift, but ohwell.

Only football, actually. Still, football games are the most popular, and it's loss was huge. And personally, madden doesn't do it for me, so I just don't play football games anymore.
