Official Sony PS3 Home Video Trailer (YouTube) In celebration of me getting into the PlayStation Home beta, here's an extremely old trailer. This is the one where the voice over says Home is "infinitely more exciting than anything on the other consoles" at the two minute mark.
I just exited the beta and she's wrong.
THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT HEROCLIX SITUATION... (Comics Should Be Good) Interesting discussion thread about the death of WizKids and what this means for the HeroClix line. Most people seem to either have never played but collected anyway, or never played because the rules were too dense.
And there's already a saveheroclix.com! Where's the Save Pirates dot com?
If Disney is Mickey Mouse... is Pixar Silly Symphonies? (Cartoon Brew) Ooooh... a brilliant take on how Disney and Pixar can creatively co-exist. The modern Disney Animation Studios division performs the same role as Walt's classic Mickey Mouse brand (think comic crowdpleasing in the 1930s and 40s), while Pixar fulfills the Silly Symphony role (groundbreaking tech, all new characters).
Guitar Hero World Tour Not Selling Like Guitar Hero III Did (Kotaku) Finally, sales numbers! The first week of sales for World Tour is less than half of the sales of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. And this includes the disk-only version, so you can't lay this entirely at the feet of the expensive bundle.
And if my estimations are correct, it's about on par with Rock Band 2's sales to date, which is no mean achievement for Rock Band given the sales of GHIII and the unfair brand name power of the Guitar Hero name.
I agree. The home beta is less than stellar.
Yeah! Socom d-bags!
