I'd like to see their stock price over the last few years.
I actually bought a new router yesterday and had it all hooked up and working. I started downloading Shivering Isles late last night and went to bed. Early this morning - 6 A.M. Central Time, I went to check to see how it went, and I couldn't connect. I was aware of the scheduled maintenance, but I thought it was going to start later in the morning.
Anyway - when I did network check, I got the same thing - MTU failure.
It may take a couple of hours depending on download speed and file size - HD movies are bigger obviously, but that is a lot less than 3 business days - especially on the weekend. Heck, you could queue up three movies and download them overnight and have them for the next day/evening. - You'd just need a big enough HD - something that is already coming.
as gaming becomes more mainstream. Last gen, many people just bought Madden and GTA.
High Def discs - HD-DVD and Blu-Ray vs. Downloading/streaming movies....
My TV only does 1080i, so it wasn't 720p, but it looked great - not Blu-Ray great like the UltraViolet trailer on a Blu-Ray player at Best Buy, but great nonetheless. Heck, from this perspective, my Premium 360 WAS capapble of playing HD movies right out of the box.
Anyway, other than taking all day to download almost 5 Gigs, it was a cool overall experience. My point is that I really believe downloading movies, or streaming is going to be mainstream sooner than once thought. ...
I don't have a PS3 yet, but I have the original on the XBOX - actually managed to beat it, and bought the Black version also. If you have a PS3 - Pre-order NOW!!!
It was a beautiful game on the XBOX, but these PS3 screens? Wow! Simply breath taking.
I know a guy who had an English degree - undergrad, and then went to DeVry to pick up some technical/computer skills, and he makes a lot of money helping the programmers and execs talk to each other since they are speaking essentially different languages and that was greatly decreasing productivity due to mistakes based on miscommunication.
Anyway, it was obvious what this guy meant contextually, but it was still funny.
Just to keep a rumor going...Hee Hee
These company guys just need to shut up!
Any hobby - sports, reading, videogames, model building are designed to help us relax and give us a break from the stressors of our lives.
However, when my video game life takes precedence over my real life, there is a problem. Just like some people choose to get high to escape life, some choose to exist in a virtual world.
Its not about the medium - its about the individual - whether or not they have an addictive personality.
I'm a therapist and ...
Sounds almost like a compliment to me...
You go, boy!
Exactly - more sales = more revenue = survival of the company = more games = more sales and around we go!
Even if this franchise runs its course, Capcom is an incredible developer, and they will inevitably come out with other IPs.
The change with regards to BC as well as the 360 getting a new "version" might have people wanting to wait a bit until the "final" version comes out. - Which may very well have rumble.
The 360 version is looking at the world with 20/20 vision. The PS3 is like looking at the world through 20/15 vision...so if you are a chap that wears spectacles, get the 360 version because it will be more realistic for you...but if you have eyesight that, unaided by any artificial means is good enough to get you into the Royal Air Force, then get the Ps3 version...just a thought.
Must...get...more...bubbles.. .<gasping>...can't breathe... air...almost...gone...bright.....
And now that you've gracefully leapt over the "line" to join me in the world of "all that is sick and wrong", I put it to you to out-do yourself. C'mon, Mikey, show us you deserved that extra bubble! Do it, man, do it!

Please notice that this post was void of any sarcasm, crude comments or other tomfoolery. Just wanted to point out that I CAN be a likeable sort of fellow...when I choose it.
I watched a HD movie without an HD tuner or player. AND - I don't have cable or DISH. So this was my only option to try a HD movie.
And - I don't buy a lot of movies - most I'll never watch again. I only get the LOTR movies, Braveheart, Star Wars etc.
