You know what I'm starting to notice? The ease of the 360 development tools cause a lot of devs to be lazy as fuck. Its too easy to take something from somewhere else and re-use it and make specific enhancements with ps3 they are forced to build ground up (which is always better)

Not that I'm disappointed with 2k7 as it is now, but its something I've been noticing.

Save StarTrek20, there are Hundreds of players of TOS 2.0 Spock Market and chat... We are all hoping for 2.0 TNG 2.0 Stock Market very soon...

Keep our hopes and Dreams alive...

Thanks, VB
