Nope, that's why it's made of gold and not silver, which will tarnish over time just being in the air. The only thing gold gets on it is a fine layer of dirt that can't be seen, but has to be removed to play correctly all the time.

As an NES programmer, I can attest to the fact that it's a placebo. Blowing only worked for a few minutes because your breath condensates on the connector and provides a few minutes of good contact. It's not a replacement for actually cleaning and fixing up your system. Clean games with a little bit of Weimans Glass Stove Top cleaner, clean the pin in a sink with just water (replace if not tight) and then it'll work flawless.

But blowing in to it damaging it? Unle...

No, not really a gamestop comment because you have to be an idiot to trade it in to them. Ebay or craigslist after you beat it. It doesn't take more than 1 day to beat any single player game today, that's a joke. And games don't devalue if you buy them for a good price any way. You're talking to a guy current sitting next to 500 NES games.

I'm an NES programmer and have dinked with the SNES hardware some. I must say, you're retarded. The "sprite scaling" and "3d" chip are the same thing, the Super FX, or GSU, or MARIO chip, depending on what you go buy. The only thing this did was run code on the cart, and use the SNES video as an output. The game either shoved the graphics from it to the PPU and used the chip to do the scaling/rotation in external (faster) hardware. Starfox used it to do polygon and...

There are no advantages of DLC (Disk Locked Content) because nobody (Well, maybe 2 or 3 games) have done it right. Everyone else gouges you for money with it.

And the trade in prices are still garbage. I can't believe real people actually do this. Why buy something to lose $30 on it 2 months later? Stupidity.

Too bad it has a lot more than 10 good games. The top 15 list here is proof of that!

Shame they took a studio that had a chance to do something different and gave it to their guys who had been writing this same game for the last 5 years? Way to take the project away from people that probably would have really cared about bringing the best product/game to the table.

The less DLC the better. It's doing much more bad than good. Release FINISHED games. Period.

Great list! So many N64 haters in the collectors community where I tread, but over all it was a great system with one of the top libraries of any system when you look at how few games were released. And the best part is so many fans will have all the same top games, just numbered differently.

Penalises?

Looked great! It makes me want to get a WiiU honestly, despite me knowing I won't play much else between this, Animal Crossing, and Pier Solar if I don't get it for 360.

Keep it simple. Make a good story, don't clutter it with crap it doesn't need. And originality is always needed in some way. Don't let the business get to you. Generic games aren't fun. Even if it's an original and gripping story and that's it, it's enough reason to play it as long as nothing brings it down. (See: Bad controls, ugly designed graphics, crap music, etc.)

4 Billion/70 Million=about 58 dollars per xbox. But since it also spans to the Windows OS for using it too. When you factor that in, Motorola is only suing for....wait for it...

4 Billion/370 Million=only $11 per device in all actuality. I think it's safe to say they have the money and it's not ludicrous, considering how much an Xbox and Windows cost. It's punishment for stealing and using it in a profiting device. 2x the normal (Not ludicrous, but fair) licensing...

No, it will rewrite the current OS/Firmware. Don't count on the size going up much at all, if at all. That's not how that works.

Probably fixes a number of those security bugs and then memory management problems. I mean, have you heard any feedback from the WiiU? You can barely start a game without it crashing/freezing.

If Apple was suing, they'd be banned today and off the shelves tomorrow. But Apple doesn't create any new patents, so that'll never happen. Just hypothetical.

But still, the price they're asking per xbox isn't ridiculous. Microsoft should pay it.

When the PS3 was running Ubuntu an they were programming games for it that way. Once they started to access more of the GPU, Sony shut them out because they didn't want that. So they hacked it and did it anyway and everyone lost.

Unlesss Nintendo would have gave them easier access to Homebrewing programs on it. It's not their fault they have to crack it wide open to get what they want. PS3 was only hacked because they removed the tools they were using to program the PS3 without pirating. Sony removed them, and they did what they were forced. Crack the system wide open. Not any bodies fault but their own.

Get on it, then, show me up. You can't even reply to my comment, or any other comment like has been seen before. I doubt you have the intelligence to figure out even what software to use for this.
