Hey, can you get me HBO for free? C'mon. I know you know those promo codes...

Lol. I was too lazy to setup a wireless router at her house, I have an Airport Extreme at mine.

They don't give us access to those promo codes at Directv, but if you complain about something they usually try and give you something for free for a few months.

I was kidding about the promo codes. I just turned my HBO back on with Entourage coming back.

After a couple hours with the demo on my PS3, I have to say fairly impressed. It took a little bit to get used to what button and what stick did what, but after that the graphics and gameplay are nice. The 'Be A Pro' mode is cool. I'm definitely making the purchase.

edit: for the record, this is my first game console since Sega Genesis. I usually play the PC version of the game so for all I know its been like this forever on a game console.. But its fun none the less.

NHL 07 was the first year with the analog stick control. NHL 08 improved on 07 greatly. I can only be excited with the new defenseman stick control.

Cant wait for the real game.

I couldn't wait for the 360 demo, so I downloaded it.

I love the game! Of course, with the 2 analog sticks being the majority of your controls, I HATE they're right next to each other. It's not uncommon in this game have both sticks positioned towards each other. That's when thumbs start getting in the way and effecting the ability to control your player.

so its officially Sept 3. I hope that demo comes out today for 360, I can't wait
