I called my store. The announcement of the Live add-on pushed me over. They have 3 left. If any of them aren't picked up by tonight, IT'S MINE, BABY!

I've been reading about this and please Dear god someone talk me out of buying this. I cannot with Xmas coming rationalize getting this for $200 but yet I fear I will.

I think about how many DVD's I could get for $200 , please stop me.

A haircut was the lame excuse you gave me?

Romier, So are you gonna build a Plywood Cockpit and sit it in front of your set for maximum realism?

How's the sound?
With that kind of hardware, I want Ground-stomping, house-shaking BASS when I walk :).

There was a guy on another forum saying he was going to buy a 27" HDTV and build a plywood 'cockpit' just for steel battalion. Sort of like an arcade game I guess. To each his own...

As much as I'd like to pick this up, I'm just not yet convinced. I'll wait to hear more feedback from you guys. Besides, I'm already spread too thin with Ghost Recon, Unreal, MechAssault and Splinter Cell.
In addition, I just dropped $5,000 on a new RPTV and B&W speakers (still waiting for arrival on the B&Ws). I'm also saving for a new SVS sub.
Check out my current HT and xbox shrine:
look for the post by user "dgc".

Is it me or is 16:9 support something that should be expected on a $200 title ?

No, not that, Trying to justify not having pre-ordered it, as I would have bought it today in a second. Oh...wait. You meant someone else? oops.

I can't imagine anyone pay er...

No, I'm still sitting in the mystery zone of "has it shipped" which means Monday at the earliest. If I don't have satisfaction by Tuesday, I'm cancelling it and getting in on the Dec 2 EB and not saving the $50

And some of us do play consoles at work sometimes...on DLP projectors to boot!
This is exactly how I got hooked, I borrowed the projector from work after trying it out with our Xbox.

Once I let that thing in my house, it was all over. A month later I had my own projector.

I think y'all who don't have it are just trying to talk yourself out of buying it. Stop it! Go buy it now! It's definitely a piece of gaming history and pretty darn cool to boot! :D
I have way way too many games to play! oy! Haven't even booted up my PS2 in a while - need to do that tonight!
