RT: Natal To Cost $149, Arcade Bundle $299 – Source

Screw MS. I bought my 360 on launch day and I get rewarded by paying $150 for the Natal? And someone who joins the 360 party 5 years late gets it for $100?

My wife was a little interested in the Natal but there is no way I'm rewarding MS for F'ing their long-term customers.

QOTD: The cover of any game is not important. Would that really influence someone to buy or not buy a game?
 
# 4 boomhauertjs @ May 27
That underwater level in TMNT was the most annoying level ever.

QoTD: Nope. I bought NBA 2k9 with one of my least favorite players on the cover.

I'm not paying another 150 plus for Natel when I havve a Wii. It's crazy, with the online gaming charge for usd games, gamestop not dropping the price on them, with new consoles on the way in 2-3 years, it would be cheaper to buy and own 2 homes LOL.

While I was never interested in Natal, they eliminated any and all hope of me giving it a chance with that ridiculous price point.

QOTD: I could care less which athlete is on the box.

The 15 Most Annoying Levels In Video Game History: TMNT - Oh, wooow, I forgot about that underwater level. I had borrowed that game from a "friend" and remember how frustrating that level was.

MT's Punchout - Actually, I beat Tyson after about 3 or 4 tries the first time I got to him, which was the same night I got the game. It was trying beat him again that became a bit frustrating because it took much longer for a second knockout which was weird to me. I remember going to school and telling everybody after the first time I beat him. I was an instant God for a moment. Lol.
Seth - Grrr...
Contra - Lol. Yea, that was a doozy.
Top Gun - Another game I borrowed from that same "friend". I never got a grasp on that game. Frustrating from the giddyup. I remember something about having to refuel in the air. Or was that another game? Eh.

QOTD: Yea, I don't care, at all. That's not a motivation factor of my buying a sports game. That's the okey-doke for the uber casual gamer and I'm not sure that even works because I don't think that a casual gamers impulsively buys a sports game when they see it in a store based on who's on the cover like they would some entertainment rag they see with a person of interest on the cover while passing a magazine rack or standing in line at the supermarket.

QOTD: Not at all. And I imagine the only people it could possibly affect is insane homers.

Love the daily lists, one of my at work rituals to read them.

QOTD: Cover Athlete? Really depends on who it is...
 
# 11 hawkeye2188 @ May 27
QOTD: Cover doesnt determine my decision but i dont like Tebow on the cover of NCAA 11.
 
# 12 sportznut02 @ May 27
I remember owning Top Gun as a kid and I don`t ever remember making it very far in that game. The best one on that list has to be the Atlanta Falcons in Madden 04.

QOTD: I could care less who is on the cover.
 
# 13 Shinyhubcaps @ May 27
QOTD: I don't buy a game for the cover athlete, but yes, I think they're important. I collect covers, try to guess the cover athlete selections, and obviously have to look at someone every time the game loads up.
