I find their ever increasing grip on the industry irritating, much like how Facebook is taking over everything(you actually can't even comment on some sites anymore unless you're logged into Facebook and have everything you say pop up under your Facebook profile)

These big corporate entities really sicken me
I'm actually all for that Facebook thing. Think about it, finally we can locate the trolls and eliminate them!

....but it's just another cog in the wheel as facebook gradually starts overtaking everything. You can't go any place on the net it seems without seeing a like button somewhere, just irritates me. Particularly because Facebook, much like Gamestop, is very shady in their practices. Always trying to trick its users and sell their info somewhere

Plus, I support people's right to internet anonymity. I don't enjoy seeing that forcibly taken away personally. Trolls notwithstanding, I believe there are a lot of people who use the net as a way to express themselves where they might be more reserved in real life. I've always like the freedom the net gives people, and it's gradually getting taken away as big companies and corporations keep trying to control every aspect of people's lives one step at a time.

Yikes...
I don't see how facebook restrict your interet rights. If you don't like facebook don't make an account.

So... any word on if the game will come bundled with the controller?

edit: that sentence just didn't sound right.

Is the game going to come bundled with the controller? (A red controller, I think it was?)

Just to make us mad they're going gut the sealed games and stick them all in generic Gamestop cases.
I just don't want another Ico case (err, literally?).

@Opa Opa: Ah snap, I forget this game can be played with the classic controller! Heck yeah.

I think that case is way cooler and fits the game's atmosphere much more. Also, it is the original Japanese boxart after all.

edit: Pretty sure you were probably talking about the Japanese boxart... hurr durr

This logic doesn't quite make sense. It reminds me of people who said things like "Well if you don't like the TSA just don't fly!" when others complained about intrusive airport security measures.

Anonymity on the internet is a good thing, and this has nothing to do with the creation of Facebook accounts. This is about other websites that require a Facebook login (and thus, real name/picture) to post and comment, it's incredibly intrusive and unnecessary.

Duh. :lol:

That crap on the right is garbage.

The Japanese/Europe boxart for Xenoblade is awesome, I hope that's what we get.

I might pick it up just for collector's value. I don't have a Wii, but having a sealed copy in a couple of years might make me a little cash. I'm not big on JRPG's, because most are turn based, but like I said, it might be worth it.
Systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, N64, Gamecube, Xbox 360

WTB: Boxes for a silver Gamecube System(and a hyperport cover), and a box for an Ice Blue N64 console. Will pay 7.50 for each and shipping.
