I found Vista to be much slower then XP if you run it with 1GB of ram with aero on. But if you run it with 3GB+ then it flies past XP. It is a ram hog, but in XP my 3.5GB of ram would be mostly unused and wasted.

I'd rather have Vista loading my most used programs into Ram so they load quicker then it doing nothing at all and wasting it. But thats only a small improvement; Vista doesn't offer enough of a upgrade for most people.

Why would there be handwritten text in a back of a magazine. It looks like someone has just written Shunmue 3 in a UV pen/Magic Marker and taken a photo of it.

Aggressive investment just means that MS will have more to lose if things go wrong. Considering the 360 is getting outsold by the Wii, PS3, DS and PSP monthly in the EU, then how are they going to win?

What a poor article. Some people dont want to feel like a criminal when they play a game. Others dont like unnecessary changes. He doesn't mention any of the problems with SecuRom either. A waste of time.

If i'd knew this before then I wouldn't have pre-ordered it. I dont want to pirate ME, but what choice do I have if i wont have the internet when I leave home next month.
Online activation the first time you use it is bad enough but at least its bearable. But this is something else. Its sad that bioware think that pissing off paying customers is worth delaying pirates for a month.

You do mean 'Thanks MS for not allowing user created content to be freely available on the 360'. Epic tried to convince MS to allow mods, its not their fault they weren't allowed to.

Thanks Sega. Optional installs. Its how it should be done.

Vista more open? There is a difference between Vista and a PC. Pc's are open, Vista is not. Macs are less open in hardware (even though ive seen it boot on a quad core, 8800gt PC) but OSX is much more open in its software. I can't even count how many open source projects Apple have used to make OSX. This is the last time I read a blog like this. I cant stand mis-information and lies, even though im a fulltime PC user. His time would have been better spent writting a page about how stupid he i...

I don’t think retailers care about putting one version above another. All they care about is making money. A sale is a sale, no matter what platform its on. DLC wont affect the total amount of sales, just the ratios of 360 to ps3 sales.

Other reasons.
You cant sell something, promising that DLC may arrive in the near future. It hasn’t been given a release date. What if DLC doesn’t appear for some reason. The retailer will set sued for mis-selling a product.

I think that GT's creators should have an option so you can choose if you want no, light or realistic damage. For the easier races, there should be no damage so people new to the game can learn. Light damage, which is unrealistic, for harder races. Finally, realistic damage does everything. A crash at 30mph wrecks you car completly. It shouldnt be required for the difficult races but if you choose it and win, you get more money and rewards. This should please everyone.

The latest opera build gets 100/100. Sorry Safari, you just got owned. Again.

The list only has true exclusives on it, not pc/xbox 360 games like Splinter cell and Prey.

MS wont allow any multiplatform game to pass certification that is released on more than one dvd. Having 1 disk on the ps3 would be more attractive for buyers then 2+ disks on the 360 and MS doesn't want that. GTA4 can only be on one disk, as an example. 360 exclusives can be on as many disks as the developers want it to be.
