I'm  a bit of non-consoler.  After playing several ports to the PC, I've come up with my with a rather strange analogy. 

It's like looking at Lamborghini or Porsche or muscle car.  It looks sleek, has impressive lines.  The outer appearance advertises it's a sports car with power, acceleration, speed, and handling.  Yet you open up the engine compartment and you find a 2 cycle lawnmower engine in it.

Every port or cross-platform I've played just yells, "Designed with severe hardware limitations."  I find them semi-enjoyable at best or a major disappointment.  Though if a game has a decent story, I can often still get some enjoyment out of it.

Also, whom ever places in random button pressing during cutscenes needs their head examined.  I watch cutscenes for the cinematic esperience.  Suddenly placing commands to pressing to buttons quickly is enjoyable how?  That's like telling me to press a bunch of buttons on a foreign remote while trying to watch a movie.  WTF?  How is pressing two buttons quickly during a movie sequence supposed to be ehjoyable?  Either let me play the game or watch the movie please.

I hate consoles so much that when I bought a Wii for my little brother, I had to put it in an empty PC case just to hide my shame.

On the topic of soft-core porn, the consoles are already designed to be forwards compatible with that engineering path.

I will demonstrate:

XBOX becomes SexBOX.

XBOX 360 becomes SexBOX 69.

Playstation becomes Gaystation.

Dreamcast becomes Reamcast.

Gamecube becomes the main rival of Gaystation, as Gaycube.

Wii doesn't need to change a thing, although it does get released in a Special Gold Edition.

Nintendo 64 becomes Inuendo 69.

Sega Saturn becomes Sega Uranus.

Sega Genesis becomes Sega Genitals.

Sega Master System becomes Sega Masturbator System. You don't want to know about the accessories.

The list goes on, but it's scary to know how long they've been thinking about this. So, I'm afraid you're a little late to be jumping on to this porn wagon Brad. 

Yep that is where I go first, Amazon. I don't care what other people's experiences are with Gamestop, we have two of them in the local mall (one is actually still labeled EB Games), they both have the same titles (easily checked via inventory online), and similar CS which is, poor for my experience. I make no claims about other GS stores. Amazon, I order what I want and the selection is HUGE, and by god it actually shows up without some individual asking me if I am sure, really, really sure I want this game becaues they heard it sucks.

That could be good, holding off until 1.1

In Aussie land here, and the situation is not much better. I went to GAME, the main competitor to EB and pre-ordered Elemental. I was told the release date was Aug 19 (which I knew was BS as the U.S release date was Aug 24). When I went to call them on it, they told me it had been pushed back to the 'I don't know what' of September. I then purchased the LE from Impulse which is not available here. Just out of curiosity, I waited until about October 5th to see if I'd hear from them, which not surprisingly I did not. So I had my $10 downpayment converted to store credit. I did not see a single copy of Elemental in what little PC section they had.

Soft porn has porn where they don't actually have sex, they just dry hump and show boobies.  Like late night Cinemax.
