In the newest 2BN feature, we're asking you if you'd rather have a one-night stand with Megan Fox (for the guys, or the ladies that like ladies), Brad Pitt (for the gals, or the men into the rougher sex), OR would you rather get a brand spanking new Wii, with a complete complement of new accessories, and any game of your choice? And it's yours to keep, forever, or until you break it by trying to have sex with it.
One night of lust or a few years of pixels?

GameSetWatch.com reports that Hideo Kojima will recieve a lifetime achievement award at the Game Developer's Conference in March.
Mr. Kojima is just 45 years old. In most industries that would make him a prodigy, where lifetime achievement awards are generally given to people at the end of their careers who have put together a body of work ranging various formats and concepts.
This once again solidifies the fact that as gamers, we just dont' have any damn patience. Which is ironic, since the game he's so renowned for creating, Metal Gear Solid 4, has the longest freakin' load time in history on the PS3.

Microsoft believes that "The healthy companies will be the ones that have invested sufficiently during that phase that they've got exciting IP and innovative things happening for when that recovery starts to happen."
For those of you that don't speak "Corporate Bullshit", what that means is that Microsoft makes so much money by producing pretty much every electronic device you use at home that it doesn't have to worry about a few piddling millions of dollars they might lose. (Details after the jump.)
