For reference guys Starcraft 2 is NOT under embargo. The issue is that Battle.net doesn’t open until an hour before launch, therefore the game cannot be properly played without it!! Infact, its a requirement

Hello from the other side of the Pond again, guys. I’m not sure about getting you guys some snap shots but I can tell you that when it comes to PC sales in the shop at our local mega-chain gaming store (Named "GameStop"), the PC section has gotten so small now that it’s almost non-existent. Of course this depends a lot on the store. Two are within a 10 minute drive for me and one has a rather reasonable PC section, with a section of wall and a small floating rack. While the other barely has one half of floating rack filled with PC games.
It’s pretty much all console games these days and has been for the last 4-5 years I would say.

Took me a while to understand you used the term "cocksucker" as a derogative. I mean… it’s a good thing, right?
Anyway…I agree on the good 3D news. Imagine the bliss: Watching 2 different TV shows, or one TV show and one game! I can watch hockey and the Mrs can watch.. what-ever she likes. That just leaves some solution to the sound. Different headphones?
