Just a short update on what's goin on. I've had about two weeks with all those new games that I picked up and most of them are just as good as I thought and the rest are ok. In case you don't remember I'll remind you quickly, they were Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2 and I found Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix online. I plan on writing reviews for them when I finish the main storylines for each and have some time with the online given that it does have it.
I don't think I've ever had so many new games to play at once since I tend to pick only what interests me and just enjoy that one game until something else comes along. The one that I was amazed by the most was Fallout for a number of reasons, It has that rare quality in a game that just shouldn't be missed by anyone much like Bioshock. This would also be my choice for game of the year. If you're into exploring, collecting items and don't mind an innovative combat system then I would recommend this game to anyone interested in giving it a shot.
On another note, my current setup is almost complete. I went out last week and picked up a new stand for it since I thought this one would be better. By almost complete I meant a Playstation 3 which I plan on getting before Street Fighter IV's release. A few details about the above picture and my setup, I have a 40 inch Samsung 1080p LCD HDTV and it's been great for gaming, movies and music., basically everything.
The first row consists of an HD digital box and a Samsung upconverting DVD player, for anyone that has a lot of movies and doesn't feel like spending a lot on a Blu-Ray player just yet this is easily a good buy for the time being, Finally on the bottom is a 20GB Xbox 360 and my retro Playstation 2 which is tagged with a lot of skate stickers, the PS3 will replace it stickerless haha. Also I tried getting the RE5 demo today, but no luck since there were no 1 month trials on my replaced 360, guess I have to wait till I get a trial card. It would've been sick to check it out.

Wow, that's a nice setup! 
I would buy an HDTV, but everytime I have enough money for it, I end up just buying more games
Looking good

You need an Elite to color-coordinate go with the rest of your electronics.

If you give me your TV, I'll give you a picture of my smiling face. And then your setup will be complete.

Nice set up man, very nice. Good luck getting the PS3, you'll love it.

Nice man I am about to get my new big screen and I can't wait.

Foremost, I have a Samsung and its great,although its only 720p. Also, Samsung is the official HDTV for Microsoft's Xbox 360. More importantly, I've seen people playing the RE-5 demo on Live and wondered how this can be...until now ? I've got about a half dozen of those Xbox Live (free) 30 day subscription cards lying around ( plenty of RROD's for me) Does this mean I can get the demo by redeeming one of my free 30 day cards ?

msudude: Thanks, I'm sure that you'll like it man.
R7_3: That's awesome, quite the coincidence and I like Fallout's chances.
hazelnutman: Thanks, I know what you mean you'll get one eventually.
yuriki-chan: haha thanks, that's usually the only area that's clean all the time.
Palantas: I just may get an Elite sometime next year to match the rest and for the fact I won't have to send my console again.

Lanezy: lol I think I'm good man.
carljohnson3456: Thanks, the PS3 is shaping up to be quite the buy now.
U_G: Nice, there's a lot of good deals now since it's the holidays.
darrenfps: Not necessarily, you have to create a new japanese account to get their marketplace, but there is another way to get it.
volcomstoner: Thanks, I was never into Oblivion but Fallout just has this great appeal and it delivers in the games open world and detail. For SF2 a lot of people just make you go in the corner for the easy win just use special high kicks and block til you can get out.

That is one sick setup. Im just proud of my computer. $1000 machine that I got for about half the price. Dude I feel your pain/pleasure on having soo many games to play. I have L4D, Fable, Gears 2 and not to mention games I have ignored in the past like GTA IV and Mass Effect.

you cant download the re5 demo even if you make a jap account because its region locked. You can however download it off the internet burn it on a CD(not dvd) r and it will work its pretty good ive been playing it for the past couple days

Nocturnal: Thanks man, this is also something I'm proud of getting. I think I'm starting to catch up though, should have some of them just about finished soon. I'm probably getting Left 4 Dead in the next few weeks if you want to start playing that just let me know.
Messiah: I realized that after I found out it was region locked. The second I found out it was the exact same way as the GH3 demo I got last year it was no problem. I cannot believe how great RE5 is though, I think I lost count how many times I played it through.
