Don't worry, after your sony laptop crashed six months after you purchased it and you had to rebuild the OS using drivers that you basically created yourself because Sony customer support wouldn't give them to you, I'm sure that all traces of the rootkit where removed.
"Can we say the same about Gears of War? Not really, because it's a new franchise (in the way Halo wasn't really), "
How in God's name was Halo not a new franchise? Because it was supposed to be, according to you, "Marathon on steroids?" With that argument isn't Gears of War Unreal Tournament 2k4 on steroids. It was NEW in that it was a completely new IP with an all new engine. How is that not new?
Halo's E3 impressions was absolutely abysmal. The press on this game was some of the worst I've ever, ever seen, calling it a "turd" would be one of the better previews I've heard. You seem to be rewriting history a smidgen with the "HUGE" following:
Since the Xbox360 ships with a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/factsheet.htm) I'm not quite sure where the idea came from that HD-DVD is the Xbox360 format of choice. Could it be, just maybe, that MS (and Intel) actually believe that HD-DVD is the better format? Why is it always a battle of game systems? It's not like anyone needs new game systems, I mean, World of Warcraft is already out.

"Deposit laws require that beverage bottlers and distributors charge a refundable deposit on beverage containers. Retailers pay the deposit to the bottler or distributor and, in turn, collect a deposit from consumers. When consumers return empty beverage containers, they receive a refund from the retailer or other redemption operation. Finally, the bottler or distributor reimburses the retailer for deposit refunds paid to the consumer."
