Well I have my copy and I am installing it via Steam (it turns out that the retail version is still linked to Steam unless you're from Russia and then it has Starforce) and will have the first impressions up soon.
Oh yes, because I'll be willing to spend my money twenty-times for the same thing. Well... In some rare cases I might do this -I have, in fact, bought Fallout and Fallout II multiple times- but the majority of games are not worth the added price.
It does if you do not want to support the "rental" system.
No, but I do buy games and wonder if I will still be able to play them in ten years. In fact, I've got some things that are that old, or older, sitting right here and, guess what, I can still play them.
Tripwire Interactive, of Red Orchestra fame, and the original authors are upgrading it and releasing it as a stand-alone product.

Playing Now:
Storm of Zehir - It's been fun so far but I'm missing the epic plot of Mask of the Betrayer.
Left 4 Dead - Multi-player fun.
Playing Soon:
Velvet Assassin - I should get my copy this week!
Jade Empire - I just completed a good character so now it's time to corrupt my companions and take over the world!
Half Life 2 Co-op (Synergy Mod) - I've meant to try this for awhile and now I will.
Fallout 3 - Will this be my "Let's Play?"
And I should have a copy either tomorrow or Thursday and since no-one else has it yet, not sure when it's coming out on Steam but it should be soon, I guess I'll be Guinea Pig number one.
Hummm... Ok, if I wanted to do one what game would you guys like me to do? It should, preferably, either be cheap or one I already have and be a game that I had played before - although the last one could be discarded if the game was interesting enough.
Well, seeing as it will be released this week and, at least formally, there was some interest in the game, I thought I would make this topic to discuss Velvet Assassin. Is anyone else planning on buying it? Has there been any word about what DRM will be used (I haven't heard anything)?
I hardly think this is an "eye-opening business trend" due to the fact that sales of computers were down for both companies. All the data seems to show, for me, is that Apple has a much stronger MP3 and Phone devision than Microsoft - although that makes me wonder, did they include X-Box 360 data in the Microsoft sales numbers? If not, why didn't they remove the non-computer items from Apple's.
