Hah. One boxing match costs $50...and there is no guarantee that it wont last past round 1. Then don't get me started on the number of people that purchase the ridiculous wrestling PPVs at $40-$50 a pop.
NFL Sunday ticket gives you access to every game of the NFL season...256 games. That is $1.33 per game. Its not a bad deal if you are an NFL nut that doesn't have access to DirecTV.
Also, Sony doesn't set this price, the NFL does.
Not a valid comparison. ESPN3 is available at no extra cost for anyone who has an ISP that provides it. XBL provides you an app to use it on your 360, but if your ISP doesn't support it then you don't get it.
NFL Sunday ticket isn't included with any service provider. You always need to purchase a subscription.
Its hard to play a game for "research" before it has even been completed. Most voice actors/actresses aren't even given a full script before they hit the studio in an effort to minimize leaks.

It talks about being an 'upgrade', but its a full build, no? And Windows ties activation to the Motherboard. An OEM licensed copy wont reactivate if the MB is swapped out.
BTW, Llano is essentially a repackaged Phenom II with a GPU on die. Its not a new CPU architecture. That wont come until Bulldozer is released.
IMO that isn't the right way to do it. You say not everyone prefers the same OS, what are your options for a PC? For playing most games, Windows is the only option.
You can't just assume that everyone owns a retail version of Windows Full, because the vast majority of licenses sold are OEM, which are non-tranferrable. People who own computers with retail versions probably don't want to render their old PC useless. A PC build should atleast include the cost o...
No big deal when you've got a 500 GB hard disk.
What has changed? PS gamers still have Metal Gear, no? The change will be on the Xbox, where it appears that SC will now have to compete with Metal Gear.
Timed exclusivity certainly has something to do with it as well. I already own Conviction on the 360. If Ubisoft decided to release it on the PS3, why would I buy it again? The game isn't good enough to buy twice.
Really? The right to use online servers is included in the purchase? Then how do you explain a platform holder charging a subscription fee for basic online gameplay? Its funny that I never heard you complain about that, yet you have the gall to call out others as gullible and ignorant.
First, if your dad's hdtv has DVI, it is likely HDCP capable. A simple HDMI to DVI adapter will work fine.
Second, it seems like 360 fanboys are trolling this article hard, without reading (or caring) that component is being removed to comply with AACS. It will be required by law.
What the hell, just threw down $10 on The Last Remnant. I tried it on the 360, but it was damn near unplayable so I never bothered to finish it.
I have worked for two employers that do similar scans on employees. Its not uncommon for tech based companies. Its not that big of a deal, and it doesn't make everyone feel like they are a suspect or terrorist.
So you are going to make a blanket statment about PS3 owners because a few dozen dumbasses are over on the PSBlog pissing and moaning? C'mon man, there will always be idiots, and they will always be the loudest.

I really doubt it will affect things like video walkthroughs and live play broadcasts. As I_find_it_funny said, it would be up to publishers and developers to press charges. Some games have the ability to record gameplay and upload to youtube integrated, so I don't think they have an issue with people posting gameplay.
This bill is really aimed at unauthorized streaming of movies, tv, and public events (such as concerts, plays, sports). Its import...
While there is no doubt that every branch of law enforcement has crossed the line at some point, there is no way the FBI would have confirmed the raid to the press without having obtained a warrant for the raid.
And with a warrant the FBI has every right to do this kind of stuff, that is their job.
While that's true, the FBI wouldn't have performed a raid based on that information alone. It may have pointed them in the right direction, however they would need more concrete evidence to get a warrant for a raid.
These guys will eventually be caught. It might take 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years...but they are human and will make mistakes.
Not sure where Monolith is coming from here. Who hates Fei Fong Wong? Who hates KOSMOS? Okay, none of us like Shion, but its because she whines too much.
I don't get Xenoblade. That freaking game was shown at a previous E3 as Monado. Why would you show a game at an American trade show that you have no intention of releasing in America?
Just another slap in the face to the core gamer from Nintendo this gen.
Because it runs on the GPU it needs to be faster. Running MLAA on the CPU allows the GPU to render the next frame in parallel, whereas a GPU implementation must render then postprocess before the next frame can be rendered.
I'm a bit skeptical of some of their claims, because ATI's implementation of MLAA isn't very good. IIRC there was a Star Wars game that used a similar type of AA for the 360, and while it was ok, it wasn't on par with MLAA.

I was thinking Alan Wake.
LOL at your avatar.
Wuzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaap.
