I am the Deputy News Editor at Destructoid. I write about videogames for a living. That last sentence is as awesome as it sounds, though not always in the ways you might think.
I also play host to Destructoid's live streaming satellite studio, Couchtoid. From there, we broadcast Backlog, an attempt to work through my stack of old games one hour at a time (Weeknights, 10pm Pacific) and Saturday Morning Hangover where Dtoid writer Jordan Devore and the always lovely ImpossiblePlant play often painful games for your amusement (Saturdays, 10am Pacific).
I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:
The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.
RIP Rodney.

Ive been mulling around getting a 360. A bigger hd than 20 gigs doesnt really play into my decision. It would be nice to see a price cut or maybe a blu-ray add-on. Then again, hell might freeze over too.
If you look at the sales numbers for the current generation of consoles there are 57 million sonsoles sold so far. That's 25 million Wiis, 19 million XBOX360, and 13 million PS3s.
If we assume that there will at least be as many consoles sold this generation as the last generation that means there are still at least 116 million game consoles to be sold. That means there is still a lot of competition out there and there is still plenty of room for each console to grow it's sales numbers. A lot of these sales will simply come with time, but anything these companies can do to entice people to buy there consoles will help I'm sure.
Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.
