Both MS and Sony plan to support their current-gen consoles for another 2-3 years. At the end of that, the price will have come down, any kinks in the consoles will have been ironed out and more games will be available. I've never been an early adopter with consoles and I'm hilariously late with my PS3 purchase (night the PS4 was announced) but the reality - as you mentioned - is money, time and attention spent on more important things. People who will rag on you in any way for not having the new hotness are unworthy of your time or attention.

Armageddon was an early release (early 00's, I think) and while it was a well-produced set (yes, I did own it at one point) it seemed uncharacteristic even then. Criterion even put out an edition for The Rock. I think Criterion did that to boost sales and bring awareness to their brand to customers who probably didn't know about them by marketing titles like that. 

One of us! One of us!

That's a great deal! I paid the full $250 for mine and I don't regret it one bit. Such an awesome handheld!

People usually attritube that title to Armageddon. :)

I should pick up Videodrome next time I go back. I'm already considering future picks, which I'm sure will change.

My pleasure. I'm sure their sales happen only twice a year so it's always best to take advantage of it.

If they didn't simply like the game, that's fine, but don't be so snide and dismiss it just because certain elements are familiar. They're Nintendo fans: they should be perfectly comfortable with that trope. ;)

That sewer section is so massive but it became better once you acquired the gravity boots and the map-o-matic (think that's what it was called). Such a great way to upgrade and get bolts. 

The same pedigree may be involved but they also play differently in addition to the difference in tone and narrative. My disgust aside, I just think the RFN host that was talking about lacked the ability to express what irked him about the game so he took a lazy route and made that comparison. I shouldn't listen to a Nintendo-centric program for viewpoints on Sony games but those things can creep up. 

I recall an episode of Nintendo World Report where the hosts verbally took a shit on the Vita a year after its release. NWR is a sister podcast to the other one. There's a strange, hostile view of Sony over there. 

I really want to get this. I have the funds but I have commitment issues.
