I agree. I think we need to step back and look at this a little more simply. Each clue is probably just a generalization of an important part of the game. I'm thinkin' that the Rick Astley hint refers to the end game, and that the decoded version of the other hint is the actions that the robot has to go through to score a point (we'd have to figure that out though). 3 is something extremely important to the game, but we may not be able to figure that out until we've seen the game.

Any guess what this year game twist will be.
I'm thinkin' that that's what's going to happen. I was looking through the animation of Triple Play and noticed that there was a pad that the human player had to stand on and if they got off to load a game piece the robot would turn off. My first thoughts were Kinect implementation. We haven't heard much of that this year, and we already know that they wanted to improve its function in the game, so it wouldn't have been a clue anyways. That may be part of the twist thought. I'm also thinking that they're will be a different field setup and a better end game.
