"Well I've officially been let go... along with a bunch of other people from TSS and three other shows. Kevin and Sarah are the only ones left on screen and I don't know what they are planning to do with them. The Screen Savers as you know it is GONE!"
I agree that it's a good window of exclusivity, but I don't think that RE:4 would really be a console seller.
Most people who are into survival horror probably own PS2 (Fatal Frame 1&2, all the RE games, and the Silent Hills), and since this game is coming out for the PS2 anyway I really don't see people buying a NGC just to have a game early.
I'm not trying to say people won't buy one partly because of this, but I don't see it being a huge boost to their sales.
If you don't already have a ps2, this is worth looking into.
The only reason I could see someone who already has a ps2 getting this new one would be if theirs was first generation and dying. The new size is sweet and I don't think the no hdd thing will be a huge issue, plus you can't go wrong with the built in IR (for the dvd remote).
The other difference is the top-loader. It's a great idea, and now people don't have to worry about their drives breaking (as often, at least) but for people who value vertical room more than horizontal (tv stands, etc.) it may be more of a hassle.

Kevin Rose tried similiar to this on The Screen Savers on G4TchTv.
I believe it was fillmybox@gmail.com and he asked everyone to send him attachments.

Halo 2 Goes Gold
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Consolse exclusive games (may also be on PC):
Ninja Gaiden, Halo 1, Halo 2, Morrowind (and GOTY edition), Star Wars KOTOR (and part 2), Fable, Crimson Skies, Doom 3 (soon) as well as getting the Splinter Cell games out earler than other systems.
Compare that to PS2 (or two soon) which has the GTA series first, and the Final Fantasy / RPGs and I'd say the xbox has "quality games."
Just curious which one most people won't like.
As a videogame retailer I think that Tiger Woods 2004/5 and just about all the NFS series have been our biggest sellers.
True, golf on a handheld might not be the greatest thing ever, but it seems to work for the GBA.
Because some network adapters came in a special bundle, which also came with ATV Offroad Fury 2. I work at a Game store, and I know that people get mad when they buy a console then have to pay additional for a game, so many people who aren't even online bought that bundle, just to have a game.
Once Sony dropped the price on the PS2 to $149, the bundle went to the same price (at least at my store). So, $150 for a console and controller, or $150 for a Console, game and network adapter?

He got fired.

Ahh!
I ment Friends, not voice chat.
All friends does is tell you if your friends are online.
I always hated how the first PoP had a big "LIVE ENABLED" sign on the front of the box, but the only feature was "Voice Chat".

Do you think a store would take a product back after a year?
And give you a replacement?
The continuation of the story is certainly welcome, and the addition of xbox live is great.
But, if you don't play online, have lan-parties or care about the story, then you might not want to consider this title.
Only $69 Used!

from the article
"A spokesperson for the show told TV Week that it would not disclose whether Jennings lost"
The xbox controller "s" is only 6" x 4.5" x 2" (WxHxD)
plus it has the nice long cord. (10ft compared to the dual shock's 6)

"The publisher's efforts, combined with the inherent appeal of the game, powered a two-year sales streak that propelled The Sims above the previous all-time best-seller, Myst.
I don't think that they need to hype the sequel of the number one selling (pc) game of all time.
