Yep, this is a load of crap. EA is going to charge you for the box, charge you for the DLC and then charge you for stuff in a shop.

$299.... I can't even think of the hardware used to keep this price so low and not make MS have too steep losses in manufacturing this console.

The 6670 rumor may indeed be true. If so an average PC bought a couple years ago will be far more powerful than this. And 10 years lifespan? Holy shit, someone at MS is insane.

I might be interested, but it depends very heavily on the price. Anything over 20 bucks and they can go fuck themselves.

Blizzard has never priced their expansions at $20.

Oh God, please let them get away from Vivendi. Better yet, let Blizzard go back to being its own company. Either way it's probably better for my stock.

You are aware Blizzard hasn't been their "own company" since before they were Blizzard right?

Yeah, what I should have said is "Please let them go back to being an independently run studio owned by a company that lets them do things their way."

The other question would be who has pockets deep enough to acquire ActiBlizz without Vivendi basically having to jettison them? They're too rich for the likes of EA or Sony, and they're a poor fit for Microsoft or Apple.

Poor fit for MS? How so? MS already bribes Activision for timed CoD DLC exclusivity. If MS bought Activision, they could turn CoD into an Xbox-exclusive and force Blizzard to make Xbox exclusives too.

Honestly, did anyone expect anything better from a Japanese developer?

Capcom has been making some of the best PC ports for years from their console games. Devil May Cry 4 is really really good on PC.

What do people expect? This is E3 we are talking about here. A half dozen years ago it was the pinnacle of gaming conventions. Today shows like Gamescom, GDC, PAX and even G-Star have made E3 their bitch.

I've been lurking on Blue's for a decade or more but practically never say anything- not entirely sure why I feel the need to say this here and now, but the amount of misinformation that has been put out on the whole situation is infuriating.

As I see it, there's quite a few gems in the indie gaming scene - but the overwhelming majority of it is flotsam.

Isn't it that way in the big publisher scene too?

All a matter of taste, I guess. This year I've played far more indies than mainstream games.

LIMBO for linux runs it in wine from a bash script. Linux users should avoid this out of protest. This bundle is deceptively not cross platform.
