Working in a video game store I often encounter the HDTV guy. He has some new 65″ liquid plasma television that he wants to brag about. His sound system was flown in from Germany and sounds like a Who concert. He has a million questions about refresh rates and hertz and all kinds of other words he makes up on the spot.

As long as it looks good on his mammoth television, gameplay doesn’t really matter.

We feel we need to do everything in our power to get more people playing this game. Many people get scared off by a $20 price tag on a downloadable game, but is it really worth less because it’s not on a disc?
