Another thing I am hating about Swap Force, is you have to buy blind packs to get all aspects of Toy Box complete (items). Ten discs are TRU exclusive, so plan on those being heavily scalped, plus you never know how many doubles, triples, or more you will get before you get all 10.

Not everyone "needs" to get one (or in some cases 16) of everything in order to enjoy a game. It seems many on here desperately want DI to fail.

They are two vastly different games, my kids want both DI and SSF. To be honest if you really want to compare something between the two, I'll bet my kids play DI WAY more than SSF. Why? Because DI actually offers many reasons to keep playing the game after you beat the game (DI starter is 3 play sets which can be beaten). DI will keep offering more playsets , which will add more content to the game and the toy box can be taken as far as the users imagination. Kids will be able to play online in their friends toy boxes. I cannot imagine how cool the game will be when they integrate Marvel and Star Wars.

Competition is ALWAYS good for the consumer, but most of these posts have relegated the debate to an almost religious level. I don't see why you cannot like both games, I see great ideas in both, is that blasphemy?

As a parent, all I can say about kids is that they don't have to pay bills. They go to school, come home, do any chores (if any given parent gives them any), do some minor homework, and then they can proceed to play the game.

While I am buying Infinity, I can ONLY play the playsets, which will offer me 10 hours of gameplay each.

Again, I refuse to spend hours playing a mode that gets me nowhere in life. It doesn't help me completely level up anyone ala Skylanders. It allows me to make worlds for others to enjoy, while I get nothing for it. If I am going to waste hours of my life gaming, I am going to do something that fulfills some kind of achievement that doesn't benefit others.

In other words, maxing out every Skylander and doing all 9 quests is more of an achievement than building levels.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, sure, but I am not one to waste my life so others can enjooy the fruits of my labor, but those fruits didn't bring the bucks. That's where my career comes in. I am in the process of writing a trilogy of films. I am creating unique worlds, geography, lifestyles, etc, and it could leads to hundreds of millions of dollars and my work could be immortalized forever (like some of the films of yesteryear that kids today even know about). If I did the same thing in Infinity, I might be bestowed the honor *rolls eyes* of having Disney upload my world to a server where players across every platform can download and enjoy.

I am an adult. Other adults might not care what precious time they waste in this world, but we can't beat the clock. We have to live day by day, pay the bills, and are responsible for either teaching our kids that sitting in front of the TV more often than seeing the world is more important, or teaching them there is a life to be made outside of the house, and a planet ripe for exploring after they make a life for themselves.

Kids, on the other hand, can just come home without a worry in the world, and build on their Minecrafts, Little Big Planets, and Infinity all they want. Their parents take care of them.

I guess what I'm saying is, Infinity only offers this limitless potential with Toy Box mode, if you have hours of your life to waste. Creating a world, using tools millionaires gave us at the expense of our 75 bucks is less productive that creating something, starting a career out of it, and turning that into money in order to pay bills, see the world, put food on the table, and whatnot.

10, 10 hour Playsets, still doesn't offer what it would take to truly master Skylanders. Mastering in the sense of completing 45-50 Heroics for 99 Skylanders, completing 9 quests for 99 Skylanders, 3 starring both games, completing all 21 Battle Arenas, and collecting all 80 Skystones in Giants.

My only enjoyment from Infinity will be the 10 hour playsets. That's all my opinion, anyway. Kids and adults live two different lifestyles.

I also don't like the fact that they're sellign 14 dollar figures that do less than those that can play in playsets. One-trick ponies for the same price as figures that can be used in all aspects of the game? It just doesn't seem right.

Here's a logical reason to dislike Infinity over Skylanders.

When has Disney Interactive ever made a good game, er published?

One can't say Kingdom Hearts, because last I checked, Tetsuya Nomura wasn't employeed by the "House of Mouse."
