Price fine. I know I'm going to get a games worth of an fun out REAL online. "Ads" aren't bad either. The experience is amazing though. You can create parties and just talk to all your friends right there. Easily join games in a hitch too. You can invite your friends to a game no matter what they are doing. It's seamless, and works excellent. I dream of this on Wii. Besides we see ads "Right on the main screen" with the Wii Shop Channel.

I agree that the Xbox Live experience is worth the price, but those ads are annoying. Right when you boot up the machine it puts you in a row that's only ads as opposed to the one right above it which I want. Ads should be disabled for Gold members, or at least give me a hidden, out of the way menu option to let me boot up on the My Xbox row. The ads on the shop channel are small and out of the way to the point I sometimes forget they're there.

Uh, and Punch-Out!! sounds pretty good.

I was pleasantly surprised by Punch Out!! The game gets very difficult, is sufficiently long and generally kicks way more ass than I expected. It doesn't even look terrible on my 50" Plasma because of the nature of the graphics.

Bad Lindy, leaving work early? And you wonder why they let you go last time.

I love it whenever a game like this is released, because I don't even have to buy it in order to be entertained by it. This topic is so awesome I feel like I should be paying somebody to read through it.

I can't wait until The Conduit is released and people split into groups who think its awesome (reviewer?) and those who pass it off as generic (forumers?).

I think we already beat you to that, actually.

Mop it up · « **Reply #84 on:** May 22, 2009, 07:18:30 PM »

Yeah, but at least the people who think its awesome will have actually played it and can back up their claims.

No, I'm referring to the massive Conduit argument we had way back when, when both camps were arguing with each other with neither having played it.

I just started playing this game today. It's so much fun to play. A well deserved high review score.

OMG get this - Amazon screwed me AGAIN.

So I rush home and my Amazon package is waiting for me. I pick it up, open it, and it's A HARDCOVER BOOK. In fact, it's this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Ecological-Intelligence-Knowing-Impacts-Everything/dp/0385527829/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243090311&sr=8-1

I look at my fiancee and say, "Hey, I guess my game isn't here yet, here's your book."

"That's not my book. I didn't order that. It's addressed to you."

I look at the order summary sheet included inside, and sure enough it says that the package should contain Punch-Out!! So yes, AMAZON WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND ME PUNCH-OUT!! AND THEY SENT ME A HARDCOVER BOOK BY DANIEL GOLEMAN.

DANIEL GOLEMAN.

ABOUT ECOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE.

I HATE YOU AMAZON. I HATE YOU WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING.

They're shipping out a copy of Punch-Out!! with one-day shipping, but of course it's a long weekend so that means it won't get here until Tuesday.

PURE NERDRAGE.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #88 on:** May 23, 2009, 11:18:01 AM »

Wow dude, I think Amazon may actually hate you. They see Jon Lindemann on the package and they just throw whatever is lying around in there.

does that summarize how you feel right now?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #92 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:47:23 PM »

THAT IS HOW I FEEL EXACTLY.

Where's an unboxing video when you really need one? Actually, I'm glad I didn't have a video camera around, because that video would have been peppered with some foul language.

It's so bizarre. I mean, I could see them sending me the wrong game, but they sent me a BOOK instead of a GAME. How hard is it to mix the two up? I guess we have our answer.

What's even more ironic is that this is the first game in a long time that I've been positively giddy to get home and play. I was sending my fiancee emails during the day asking if the package had arrived yet, and told her to prepare for a prolonged Punch-Out!! play session. Instead, I wound up wanting to punch myself in the face.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #93 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:54:23 PM »

do you think you could just buy PO from the store and play all weekend, and then when the Amazon game arrives, just return the unopened amazon one to the store for a refund?

Thats what I'm thinking of doing.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #94 on:** May 23, 2009, 01:34:08 PM »

This kind of rick-rolling should be illegal.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #95 on:** May 23, 2009, 02:26:40 PM »

I agree.

I could go to the store and buy the game, but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying it online, you know? I'm kind of not buying it on principle now. Besides, next week is my wedding week, and I'm going to have so much stuff going on that I don't need to pile on the return of a game as well.

Early Mazal tov! Who's filling in for Lindy on RFN?

That, or Reggie paid Amazon to "accidentally" ship him the wrong thing because of his comments toward Super Mario Galaxy on RFN.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #99 on:** May 23, 2009, 08:06:28 PM »

Reggie has nothing to complain about, since I put down my hard-earned cash for both Super Mario Galaxy and Punch-Out!!.
