I also got GoW but I cannot abide by the online save. I uninstalled until 
they patch it to save locally. I keep my firewall very tight and only open 
it when I need to go outbound for some reason. (There's a whiz kid in the 
'hood who has hacked my wireless already once) I wish there had been a more 
prominent warning of this before I dropped money on it. You can't even play 
the single-player mode without losing your progress if you shut down.
