on a side note, i just found out earlier this week how awesome the parental controls are on the 360. i was creating my son a free gold trial account on my 360, so i had to go through this part due to the age i input for him.

i was very impressed. it's very robust. not only can you specify which game ratings they can play, but also you can specify how long they're allowed to play and even during what hours of the day they can play.

also, you can specify if they can play online or not and, if so, you can specify that they can only play with people on their friends list or you can let them play with anyone.

lastly, you can set it up where you have to approve anyone they want to add to their friends list, so you always know who they're playing with. i'm so impressed, i'm planning to get the kids a 360 for their room for christmas.

and yes, you are a fanboy of utmost proportions. fanboys are those who attack the competing products of the products they hold oh-so-dear with basically lies and misinformation, which is something you do plenty of.

"The pack will be 480 MSP (aka $5.99) and single tracks will be 80 MSP (aka $0.99) for the first month."

blizzard just needs to be thankful that there are so many people that care so deeply about their games. without purchasers, a game is nothing more than a huge waste of a pubslisher's money.

so far, only Life is Beautiful for me. will buy Rescue Me if i like it, but i haven't been able to find anywhere to listen to it yet.

i love old motley crue, but i hate everything i've heard off of their new album so far, which is only the 3 songs they've got for rock band.

"the game designer says that this audio recording is only a small part of concrete evidence he has."

OMG! tecmo, you've been PWNed!!!!!!!!!! that is so awesome!

all the multiplatform games go to my 360"

wow, dude, you just perfectly described me!

i'm still undecided about the Shinedown songs.

next, you say "if you knew how to read", yet more than once you have proved your inability to read. here's just one:

"Maybe if he kept trying and PRACTICING instead of throwing a hissy fit about a VIDEO GAME, maybe then he might do a little better."

when i said, "he gets so disappointed and leaves the room feeling ashamed and depressed."

yet you have the gall to say anything to me about knowing how to read? what i did was do the same thing to you that you did to me, quite intentionally, and fully expecting you to call me on it, showing just what a hypocritical non-thinking little forum maggot you are.

furthermore, i never said he throws a hissy fit (one thing i don't allow in my house). i said he gets sad and leaves feeling depressed. oh wait, i thought you could read when you were 5? looks like you can't even read now...

the point i obviously have failed to make was that this is not the case here. his fingers are still too small to reach across even the 3 buttons used for easy mode on guitar.

and yes, i know some kids his age can play drums wonderfully. they're called prodigies. that's something completely different. the fact is a most adults have an extremely hard time with the drums on rock band, much less a 5 year old child.

@Arsenicberyllium: no, he's not too young to play video games. he plays DS, 360, wii games just fine. he is just too small to handle the controllers well enough to get past the learning curve.

wow, what a fucked up thing to say.

for your information, it is bad. my 5 year old wants to play rock band with my older son & i so bad, but he just can't seem to do it. everytime he tries, he fails out almost immediately. he gets so disappointed and leaves the room feeling ashamed and depressed.

this is on both guitar and drums. he can't even try singing because he's not old enough to read yet. hopefully one day you'll be able to think outside of your self-centered mindset.

@suya123: since when are new dvds upwards of $30? oh, that's right, since never.

so sony's strategy with the PS3 is to make it an FPS machine while letting the 360 become this gen's RPG machine?

GREAT STRAT SONY! (idiots)
