I don't know what your favorite shop is... but I bought my last MS Duo card at Best Buy : 8GB for $20. Maybe it was a pricing error? I've never seen them for the prices you list, though.

I don't know... I may be in a minority for this, but I can't do twitch gaming that well. I got to a point in Resident Evil 4 where you have to do a series of button pushes during a cinematic in order to "live" through it. In theory, it's not that hard... they show you the button and you press it or the right combination of buttons. But I screwed it up. And any failure during the long series of prompts, and you had to start over from the start again. Over and over. I was livid by the 30 minute mark of retrys and had to walk away. And I was very upset with the game afterwards... especially when it gave me a series of position sensitive survival button presses just in the next area that held me up for another few minutes... no I didn't realize I had to walk away from the back wall before the lasers came if I even wanted my button press to do anything at all. I'm bitterly grumbling even now about it. Anyway... a difficulty spike, even if it's not a problem for some, with no way around it can really put someone off a game they are otherwise enjoying immensely.

I don't think that was the point of their comment. They wanted to invest in creating only a single Prince of Persia game for wide release. Given the presence of both the PS3 and XBox360, they opted to make one with pretty lights and a wide open world. They chose not to limit the design to the lowest specs on the market, and chose not to invest in making a completely different game for that system. I don't have any problem with them doing that. People are misrepresenting their statement. They had an idea for a game. Wii wasn't equipped for that concept while other large distribution channels were. Cut and dry, no digs at anyone.

I agree with most of what you are saying here. I have a "modded" PSP which I have used almost exclusively to replay ebooted rips of my old PS1 library in a hand-held, portable way. Currently playing Breath Of Fire 4 and I just slapped my Deception 3 onto it last night. It's breathed new life into my CDs which had been gathering dust. I know they are now selling some classic PS1 games in Sony's online store, but they are really few and... well... I already bought them for ~40-50 bucks back in the day. If only I could do something with my SNES and NES cartridges that are in boxes in the closet...

It's actually been a while since I last heard about phorm. I believe that the general issue had more to do with phorm intercepting pages on the ISP's side and re-writing them to insert material before re-serving them to you. Google ads, on the other hand (since you brought them up) is a widget added by the site owner's permission.

Errr... I'm kinda surprised that the only comments here are bashing the game. I actually kinda liked it.
