Nice cover. Reminds me of how Software Etc. prints their own covers for announced games and sets them up in a big "coming soon" rack, like the old one they have now for Wind Waker. ...Is that where that's from?
Heh, I remember when everyone thought that just because some amazing director was in charge of hte Prime commercial it was going to rock, and in fact they liked it when it was finally out for a bit. Anyway, here's the thing. It's a COMMERCIAL! You can't make a huge compelling story out of 30 seconds of footage that's aimed at getting you to buy a product. It's impossible! I can't possibly get into the deepness of someone's problems with self expression when they suddenly are "enlightened" by a frickin' product. It totally kills any story 30 seconds can have.
Anyway, as I said I never had a problem with the old cover, I just like the new one better.
Oh, and allow me to say this. I LOVE how the new forum program only stretches the size of the message that had some huge image instead of making us have to horizontally scroll the whole thread. While it does have the weakness of not word-wrapping thread titles...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
