Here in Holland there's a really cool X-Box commercial on television. It's about a woman giving birth to a son, she shoots him out of her (you know) and then he soars through the sky, aging faster and faster untill he dies, and lands in his grave... I thought it was really cool, but lot's of (older) people i know were upset about it... Have you seen it? Think it's upsetting?

Havent seen that ad here :-( Sounds great!
Tonight was the first time I seen an XBox Gameplay footage ad (They had some back a while ago but they were teasers). It was for Dead or Alive 3. I couldn't heard it well but it seemed like this couple on a couch and then the kettle boiled. Then it showed footage of DoA3...
CRAZY!!!

the advert is about the fact that life is short (and they mean the birth -> dying bit symbolical) so you have got to play more... xbox...
(i know, sounds stupid, but hell, they got my attention)

Nintendo sell because the gameplay is frickin' BRILLIANT, every new Zelda or Mario or Metroid game revolutionizes everything.
Aw fuck. I need to buy a Gamecube, this is so frustrating. I have to have that in addition to my PS2 to play all the games I want. Fuck. Fuck fuck.

I totally I agree with you Ophecks.
I wish now was like the old days when games sold well because they were great not because they had flashy ads.
(Not dissing flashy ads, just dissing crappy games selling well because of flashy ads and great games selling poorly because of little advertising).

Totally agreed. Great graphics should be the icing on the cake to great gameplay, not the whole package just being graphics.

I've been playing the original Metroid the last couple of days, and the gameplay is just flawless... I wish more games would go for sweet gameplay like this.
And Super Metroid is the ultimate... I've got a bad feeling about the new Metroid Prime, I doubt it'll live up to the SNES Metroid.

As good as the X-Box Advert is - I'm not going to buy one. I'm happy with my PS2!

I still have my Metroid cart, but saldy my NES is not working :-( Gotta get a another one soon...
I just hope stuff like Metroid will still be loved and seen as a classic in the years to come. With all those kids raised on PS2/XBoxes and GameCubes I hope retro classics don't get forgotten...

The metroid for nintendo is insanely hard, i do remember a code for it tho, i think in the password screen you type "justin codey" and the rest the underline symbol and you get to be samus without her suite on, tho time may have distorted the actual code in my memory.
The snes Metroid was great, i actually really liked the soundtrack alot for it and was thinking on doing a remix, but the thing with the snes metroid was that it was too easy, i could finish it in about 2 hours.

My cousin was watching me play Metroid, he just kept commenting on how bad it looked. Forget the fact that the gameplay is fantastic... he just didn't like the lack of flashy graphics. I bet he's home playing Smash Brothers Melee on that useless Cube right now.
JUSTINBAILEY ------------
That's the code right there!

X-box and PS2 are too complicated machines I like Game Cube cause it plays games that it, if one wants to play DVD movies buy a DVD player, want to hear CDs buy a Stereo any of these machines will do a better job than the X-box and PS2 and they dont scratch the CD neither like those consoles.
