Uploaded earlier today. Yeah, I'm fast. For all those that don't know, this is the first gameplay footage (if it is legitimate, which I believe it is) of Beyond Good & Evil 2.

so I just found out the culprit in what was making my PS3 not work sometimes through HDMI.  Oddly enough its my comcast cable box.  Every so often it somehow throws the DCHP settings between other devices and my television off.  I don't know why it does it, but it does.  I googled and a lot of people with the old motorola cable boxes have the same problem.  So now when it happens I have to unplug my cable box dfrom the wall for ten seconds to reset it.. then connect it back to my television.  Then reconnect my PS3.  Major PITA but I don't have the extra money for a new cable box.. so Im going to just have to deal for now

Comcast blows, I will bet everyone money that it will ruin OnLive.

Won't Comcast just give you a new one?  If I have a problem, I just bring it back and they replace it...

I really think I am going to ditch comcast all together and go with DirecTV.  Thats what I had at my last place and I didn't have any gripes with it.  Back there with DirecTV I had 4 boxes, two were HD DVR boxes, one was just HD and another was just a standard def box.  I had the HD package, PLUS the extra couple HD channels you get for 5 dollars more (which I thought was BS, but oh well).  I got all of that for about $108 a month.

At my new place with comcast I have just one HD DVR box (which doesnt hold anywhere near what the directv box could save), it has the HD package but comcast lacks about 5 HD channels that directv had (comedy central HD being one of them).. I dont get the NFL network or SPEED now,  And this comes to about $106 a month

well, it looks pretty good to me. if i had extra cash i'd buy it.

Stoked Review

What Stoked lacks in frills it more than makes up for in snowboarding thrills.
The Good

    * Landing tricks is rewarding 
    * Five real-life mountains and tons of different events 
    * Great stream of incentives once you get your pro license 
    * Crashes look painful.

The Bad

    * Earning the pro license takes far too long 
    * Occasionally unpredictable physics.

I heard Shaun White was good with the Wi Fit, but that's not the same....I'm looking for a next gen version of SSX or 1080
