Jeepers, now that's stylin' wordsmithin'! "gunning for... hit vidgame... plans for a tentpole... the tech giant" Better than the same old boring verbiage

(I'm guessing no less than $60 million gross, $25-$30million opening weekend, and the rest will depend on word of mouth, and of course how many just download it as a way of preventing M$ from getting any more of their money.)
