Quite a few
games shipped to stores yesterday, not the least of which is
Halo: Reach, which already surpassed Halo 3 in concurrent unique users on its first day. That's probably why it was rather quiet yesterday; people were playing around with their favorite Spartan again.
Personally, I'm more psyched about the new season of Sons of Anarchy starting than any of the games on that list. I've got the first two episodes ready and waiting on the DVR, so it's a safe bet I'll be digging into that later today.
