The Xbox 360 may have most of North America nice and cozy in its back pocket, but the console isn't doing so well in Japan.

The controversy of subtitles vs dubs has its roots most likely in the first media product that ever had sound and was localized. Most often met in films and animation, the argument is rather simple.

As soon as I started Modern Warfare 2, I couldn't shake this familiar feeling I was having, that I was there before, that I did that somewhere else, a Matrix-like deja-vu.
