Anybody know if there's anywhere online you can do the pre-order/get in the beta? I don't have any of the major game retailers in my area.
^^^ Lolzzorz!
How exactly does using Firefox equate to hostility against Microsoft? Because people choose to use Firefox they must HATE Microsoft? Please...
Just because people aren't flaming Microsoft fanboys (like some other people we know) doesn't mean they are haters. And frankly, when it comes to web-browsing, speaking as a professional web-designer, who doesn't use Firefox outside of work - IE is VASTLY inferior to Firefox in most of the ways that people care about when browsing the web...
Well, I've only ever logged in (pretty much every day) to N4G in Safari 3 - which is not represented in that chart at all. They are probably improperly aggregating all versions of Safari and calling it 1.X. If people are using Safari at all they are probably using 3, possibly some still on 2, but 3 is an auto-update at this point so I would think 3 is dominant.
When you track browser hits Safari is less straightforward than IE, and less significant percentage-wise, but if my comp...
I'm in the "who cares which version of a crap game is better" camp myself.
I'm sure whatever they are referring to is based on play-testing and will be for the betterment of the game. I would imagine Kojima had no shortage of interesting ways to implement the SIXAXIS - some probably panned out and some probably didn't. This is a good thing. In two and a half months we'll know :)
I'd have to say I prefer playing games on my PS3 more if only because I can hear the game without having to turn my volume way up to drown out the 360s fan. Seriously - when I have the 360 on my wife will come in from the next room thinking the downstairs neighbors are vacuuming, where neither of us can hear the PS3 when we're sitting in the living room with the sound off, no heat/AC running etc. I've been playing Mass Effect a lot and I have to turn it up pretty stinking loud to hear a lot o...
Every time I'm in an electronics store I hear:
"What? Blu-Ray spins? Well forget it then"

Why Not = $$
In general Apple fans/consumers aren't the biggest Microsoft fans. I don't run any Microsoft apps on my MacBook, and I don't foresee myself running any on my (future) iPhone.
Bear in mind that all apps have to be approved by Apple and distributed through the "App Store" so it's not like Microsoft can just so whatever they want. The only significant Microsoft program, or set of programs, is Office for OS X - which really isn't needed on a platform like iPhone.

Yeah - you would think they might practice a little more before posting it on the web.
Does he mind that Apple software update for Windows makes Quicktime available? Or is it only products that compete with his that he complains about?
It makes sense that he's worried - Mozilla browser's (Firefox) captured market share in the absence of any real competition. Now that IE is once again being actively, dare I say aggressively, developed and Safari is rapidly gaining market share - and looking more promising all the time given iPhone & Windows support - things are ...
I choose not to pay for XBL (anymore) and to play for free on PSN. If Microsoft's goal was to ensure that I buy all multi-platform and online games for the PS3 then they are succeeding.
I like it but I'm not trading in my 60 gig.
I thought the translucent plastic was cool! A friend of mine actually has an opaque SIXAXIS - so they are out there.
Firefox 3b4 is every bit as available for OS X and Linux as it is for Windows

see! :)
I think N'Gai, as ususal, has a fair point. But I think these same devs have pretty short memories - if the PS3 continues it's positive sales trend I don't think it would take long to change that sentiment. I'd like to see the same article revisited in a year's time.
Microsoft seems to be banking on having the DLC issue steer people away from PS3 and towards the 360. But the fact is that GTA is a VERY mainstream franchise and DLC is NOT a feature that mainstream gamers care about. Heck, look at folks on n4g - the industry would probably consider us "core" gamers and there seems to be just as many of us that don't care about the DLC as do.
So in the end I think the GTA+Playstation brand loyalty will outweigh the DLC in the general po...
Honestly for me free GTAiV online > DLC. That and I've always played GTA with Dual Shock so it's gonna be PS3 for me.
