If there is no hell, at least this great meme ensures that Hitler gets some form of eternal torment. I've laughed at so many versions of this same clip it's ridiculous.

Youch!  I feel your pain, I've had the red ring twice so I've taken to keeping old PS2 games for just that occasion. And a PS2 obviously. It'll be back before you know it though, they're pretty swift usually.

There was a similar video made about the Lisbon Treaty after the Irish voted no using the same Hitler scene.

Hilarious !!

i have been through four xboxes in 18 months, i will never buy one again.

the most annoying part is that you dont get a warranty renewal on the new unit.your warranty is only good from date of purchase of orignal unit, despite a one for one exchange of a brand new console!
 hence i had to pay for the recent exchange,($140 sing or about USD99 i think it is)
i played up merry hell, and got a two month free live membership card and a 12 month warranty renewal for the latest issue of my new unit.which was not offered until i made so much noise.  

its bollocks though isnt it.

i had an XBOX, now a 360 sadly they have lost me as a future customer. its ps4 for my next unit, or a next gen WII.
which i would suggest may be potentailly the greatest console since the atari when they create it.

loved them posters!

Is that the Live Arcade thing? There's a video clip about the movie premiere where someone mentions it's coming out about 3 days before the movie. Hope it's good!

Movie tie in games are nearly always crap from my own experience but there may be exceptions i dont know about.I can imagine what a console movie tie in Watchmen game would be like although i would rather not.
