I think it´s great that we get the alternatives.Besides that, I agree that the VC management hasn´t been the best... I think a better job could be done by alternating more popular games with less popular ones, based on what´s available. I don´t know which criteria they follow though...

NOA is horribly mismanaging the VC and no one seems to care.In Japan they have a list every month and no surprises yet in NA games seem to be pulled out of a hat at the last minute and in spite of publisher announcements/confirmations. The difference is like night and day. Why is this? Why do NA gamers get screwed like this? You guys in the media really need to get to the bottom of this stuff with some serious investigations.
