c'est la vie... missed the threads due to my spotty checking of the forums these days. I long for the days when I had time to be reading IGN and gamespot as much as I do the Post, but alas, that doesn't fit very well with the job profile... and I'd just assume spend what little time I have playing games rather than reading about them.
You can always hope that game producers will actually spend the money they save on E3 budgets on making better games with more thourough testing, but somehow I doubt it.
