Just sign on to play someone, and it'll automatically download.  Piece of cake.  Just save it to your system and you can use it to start a franchise, etc.

Oh, now it's ooooooooonnnnn.....

And I guess no one told you that anything less than 5 minute quarters is just practice.  Sort of like the preseason.   

[mussa]

HAHA...I know man it was a crapshoot...that bomb to Jones with seconds left was garbage. I am surprised though no picks or fumbles happened...

Bioshock was released today. If you own a 360 this is a must have game - probably gonna wind up being game of the year. Played the demo then played it for an hour after I bought it. Unbelievable.

Saw the commercial, and thought WTF? Looked like an underwater city, with some dude in a strange diving suit. What is it about? Is it a shooter? Strategy?

Graphics do look pretty sick though.

[SD_Eagle5]

Shooter. But the main character has special abilities. Gameplay, story, graphics, and enemies are unreal.

[Seabiscuit36]

i convinced my brother to finally step up and get 360    I have to buy madden now. 

[Zanshin]

exxxxcellent.  We need more players.  I hate playing total strangers; I'd rather play you semi-strangers.

[Dillen]

I downloaded the demo for EA's skate. I enjoy it, but considering none of you retards skateboard you probably won't like it as much as I do.

geekoids...what's the better system...360 or ps3?
