This will probably be my last regularily posted blog for a while.  I'm traveling around and today I leave the one place on my list of stops that has dedicated internet, from here thru mid sept i'll be stuck using libraries, McDonalds, Starbucks and other such free wifi providers.  So i'll be posting when I can but I could go a few days between internet connections.

@buckeye75: My guess is that they'll keep profiles and game saves on MS memory units or hard drives to deter cheating. Wasn't that the rationale they used to band 3rd-party MUs? Supposedly, they're allowing DLable games on external USB media, so don't know how that would work...

Thanks a lot for sharing. You have done a brilliant job. Your article is truly relevant to my study at this moment, and I am really happy I discovered your website. However, I would like to see more details about this topic. I'm going to keep coming back here.

it is nice to know PS3 recognizes 360, but will the box recognize the PS3 ever?

I don't think Tank gets enough love for his blog. He should be in Ceasar's hall of fame for "most informative blog" or something like that.

The Homefront pass doesn't sound all that bad, seeing that it lets people get to level 5. Kind of an extended demo, if you will. Someone buys it used, decides to try out the MP, likes it, and wants to contribute $10 to keep the lights on. Not a total kick in the balls.

While I like the idea of Pinball FX2 on the surface, I can't help but wonder why they just don't release more DLC. It's not like pinball is a genre that can be improved upon drastically. Unless...it's got Kinect support and we have to stand in front of a phantom table. Egad.

I couldn't care less about Duke Nukem at this time, and really wish that Gearbox was spending it's time working on the next Borderlands.

FEAR is nice and all, but c'mon, is it really the kind of game that warrants a collector's edition?

I should be able to play online to full capacity regardless if I buy a used copy or a new copy. This will be a pass for me.

Well... they are on their 3rd release of F.E.A.R so they've got a built up fan base. I'd say it's the right time for something like a big collectors edition to come out. I won't be buying it because i'm not that much of a fan but i'm sure they won't have trouble selling them. I always think it's stupid when a new IP comes out in a collectors edition. No fan base but here's a $99 SKU for you to buy if you want to take the risk this IP is any good.

Ya i kinda have the same opinion, i don't want to support or encourage this 'game pass' type behavior. Although i do favor it over charging a monthly fee to play. But that being said, i've been looking forward to homefront for a year now so I'm getting it anyway. Since i'm buying new the gamepass thing doesn't affect me.

You'll just ... have to wait a little longer. According to the announcement on TR's Facebook page, the patch is "currently awaiting approval for distribution, which is likely to coincide with the Xbox 360 firmware update this Fall." A year later and than some it seems. Thank god there not in a rush.

Just a point of clarification, the picture in the Halo assault rifle link is a Battle riffle and not an assault riffle... Cary on.

Wow on the ghostbusters patch. That's crazy and surprising. Guess that means that one special Slimer ghost will finally spawn in MP. Ghostbusters was a great game though, I enjoyed it a lot.

Unless your link is wrong, the Joystiq article about Kinect is dead. I browsed their site for a bit and no luck.
