Microsoft and Sony are still going head to head in the consoles race. Each continue to churn out services and products that aim to outdo the other. Sony, though, is confident that they will hit a homerun soon over Microsoft, especially since the debut of Home is drawing very near.

In the long run, whether or not the Wii is a fad really doesn't matter since it's still selling like hotcakes and still has the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 eating its dust.

Two more editions and we'll be clocking in a full year of weekly recaps! What's in store this week? Lots of hellos and goodbyes. Some hellos are pre-mature, as seen in the case of MGS4 breaking street date (or not), and some goodbyes are actually kinda uplifting - especially if it might result in a 10-year disbarment. Get ready for some major surprises this week!
