Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console
$399.99
Anyone who loves 360 or call of duty modern warfare should pick this up, if you can afford it and want rid of your own system its even worth it to trade in your old system get some store credit, and just get it. The system itself looks killer, with some different military syle grey writing on it, and around the power switch. Two black controlers, MW2 game, and basically a free 250gig hard drive!! Why do i say free? Well. Your getting a controller, which is around 50 bucks new, and the game which is 63 bucks with tax, so that takes you to about 400+ dollars, which is the price of the system. So yeah, the hard drives worth, when or if they decide to sell is separately would probably be around 200 or 250 bucks i'd bet, so you basically arent paying a dime for it:) Its the same ole good xbox just fancyed up with a cool look and the extra contents. But the hard drive for you hard core arcade, movie, demo and games on demand fans is definitely the biggest selling point of this system. Go out and get the elite with the 120gb drive plus the game, and controller, and your talking the same price or more, with a smaller hard drive, not nearly as good a deal. So if you have the money, better get this one, because once its gone, its gone for good. Rumors says about 2 more weeks, then done, the overstock might go online, but stores will not carry them. Also there is no guarantee yet that they will release the 250gb drive. So jump on this killer deal while you can. Also MW2 is great on 360, i had it for my PS3 and traded it in, looked awful, and the online was pathetic. The graphics on the xbox are as usual, crisp, colorful, great detailing, and probably pretty close to 1080p i would say, considering thats the output of my LCD, unfortunately you really can't tell with console games, wish they would read out the actually resolution they are putting out. Oh well. This is just a killer deal, so don't pass it up, it won't return.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
$59.99
- Is this one of the best games on the Playstation? Yes.
- Is this a huge improvement over the previous version? Not huge, but good.

Since most people rave about the game, I'll cover a few of the high points.

- The weapons are very cool and fun to use, but they don't enhance the experience much over COD4.
- The maps are beautiful.
- The Special Ops co-op mode is a great multiplayer enhancement.

What I don't like so much (SPOILER ALERT)

- Like others, I agree that the awards in on-line play are over the top.
- The PS On-line community seems too small to generate a full roster of players for on-line play.
- Campaign mode was short, but I'm actually glad about that. See the next two points.
- The airport scene from campaign mode is gratuitous and in bad taste. I have kids in my home and won't let them play this. Very Harris and Klebold (the Columbine killers).
- I am disgusted by the portrayal of the US General in campaign mode. The US military in the era of modern warfare has an exemplary record of valor. Portraying the US military as corrupt for the sake of expediency (e.g., intentionally killing allies to perpetuate a war) smacks of moral relativism. In my opinion, Activision's message is that the US Military is as bad as the Russian terrorists in the airport scene. The US Military gives their lives to save innocents. It doesn't plot to take innocent life for the sake political motives, even though innocents die when terrorists hide among them. For a first hand account of how the best of the US military lays its life down for Americans and non-Americans alike, read Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10.

Does this portrayal of the US military hack me off? Yes! It's easy for a bunch of propeller heads in Santa Monica to trash the military and I'm sure they'll sell a few more copies of MW2 because of it. However, my rating is a reflection of the gameplay, not my feelings about the commentary within.
