I had to vote for Gran Turismo 4. I love the series, and the addition of B-Spec is great to get those endurance races done with. The Photo Mode is such a time consumer (in a good way), you almost have to make yourself do the actual races.

I should have this on VHS somewhere still (I hope I do). I remember watching it quite a bit as a kid. I liked it then, I don't know how I'd feel now though.

Chapparal WM - picked up a SMC ManWolf and stashed one, they were the only new package SMC figs. Tigertrap - it was Venom you were looking for, I stashed a SMC ManWolf at the Chapparal WM since I didn't remember. I'll keep an eye out. toyologist - Suncoast also sells the Matrix 10-box for $40.

I really like MB's original B/W drawings, but the color really adds a nice dimension to them. Kudos to both of you.

Man, that is awesome. I hope you figure out some way to sell some copies of your stuff, because it's all so good.

thanks for the info, I'll have to keep my eyes open.

How different is the Venom from the Sinister 6 set? I've got that one, and don't really need another one to open unless it's really good. I'll have to check on that man-wolf

From my understanding, the re-release is the same without the bonus disc and a new box.

Can't wait to see some more of this game. If there is a new Gran Turismo game & this at launch. I might just need to quit my job to make time.

Congrats on the score GSR, what store did you find the 501 at? I went to a few this morning and found remnants of that wave, but no 501. I picked them up at a WM

I love Black Friday. I never go expecting to find any good toys around this time (though I did finally find the 501st Troopers this morning), but I just go for the cheap video games & DVDs.

If you hadn't already taken it back to the store, I'd say just try doing Instant action or galactic conquest. The only objectives there are to outlast the enemy or control all the command posts. It sounds like you're playing in Rise of the Empire mode; there are yellow areas on the screen that tell you where to go, the important thing is shoot the enemies before they can shoot you. I love this game, it is definitely a huge improvement over the first. Yes it can be pretty repetitive, which does keep me from eating up huge chunks of time with it, but I don't regret buying it.

that is frickin' sweet. I wonder how much memory it has. I would love one of those.

I think Sony needs to push the Blu-Ray aspect of the system, especially to developers. If they start getting the cross-platform games to need more and more space, it will more than likely end up hurting the 360. 8Speed, all that stuff sounds great. I can't wait to see what it can really do. I'd like to see the Bluetooth used extensively. I don't know if this is all possible, but a BT headset (if you're controller is wireless, why shouldn't your online headset be also); if you've got the BT headset, and you've got a BT phone, it could flash on screen who's calling; if Sony was to come out with an MP3/PVP player that was BT enabled, you could use it for your soundtrack without wires. I expect to see more of an XBox Live style of online system. I expect the Cell processor to not be a waste of technology.
