Personally, I prefer a brief pros / cons list in addition to a review score... This allows me to quickly know about any faults a game may have, with the score simply reflecting how much these faults will affect the game...

To be fair though, most of the time I read full reviews anyway...
I am surprised nothing was mentioned of the length of the single player campaign, as many people thought the original was too short... Is this the case with GOW2?
"The problem apparently manifested as a machine that completely failed to boot on startup and appears localised to EB Games thus far. "

This might be the case, but I got 2 consoles (one faulty, and one completely DOA) from Big W 2 weeks ago.
I don't doubt that the price drop has increased PS3 sales... but is this increased rate sustainable until the end of the year, or is it simply a short lived sales spike?

Sony seems to think it is the former...
I was most impressed by both RE5, and COD4...

But all in all a very dull show from MS... Let's see if Sony can "wow" me!

Whoa, that's some spin Even. You almost had me convinced!
I wouldn't suggest it was spin as such (many other places are reporting it as sales increase also).

Even the maths in my previous post seems wrong (still trying to figure it out), however, according to the little blurb on amazon website, it is definitely a sales ranking and not an actual units moved figure.
Just to clarify, the PS3 did not increase sales by 2800%... It increased it's "sales rank" by that amount over a 24 hour period (i.e. at it's peak, it moved up 28 positions to first place)...

From Amazon.com:
"The Movers & Shakers index identifies, by category, the biggest gainers in sales rank at Amazon.com in the past 24 hours. For example, suppose a music item has a sales rank of 10 today, but was ranked as low as 30 yesterday. Its Movers & Shakers increase would be 200 percent."

Sales have most definitely peaked as a result of the price drop (and this is excellent news for Sony), but the 2800% figure in no way indicates an increase in how many units were sold.
