Geez...3 billion for two games - that's just crazy. But good for the industry, more power to 'em.

BTW - here's a pretty hilarious video of a guy who replaces his buddy's CoD2 game DVD with something else. http://ebaumnation.com/2009/11/24/modern-warfare-2-rick-roll

Actually it's 6 games in the series
Modern warfare 2 is the sixth installation in the series

They're going to keep making them til they dont make anymore money.

Wow the 61 free apps have some good apps i never herd of before.

 

[yorro]

The Samsung Monitor looks good.

 

[Fragrant Coit]

Alas poor Mininova, I knew you well....

3 billion is rediculous. Infinity Ward is milking the public for every penny and not even giving them anything new. The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 was a joke, no dedicated servers and no console. I can't wait to see what their next game will be for PC, maybe they will just forget to add the actual game next time.

Oh my that Gigabyte P55A-UD4P motherboard, very nice

The top 10 alternatives is a really nice list for people that used to use mininova a lot, and is also in my opinion a sign that shutting those things(I know mininova did it volutarily) down will only really cause people to migrate elsewhere..and not really have much effect in the long wrong.

 

[swilllx2p]

Wow should of proofread that. Meant in the long run. And shutting those things down before the ()'s
