The market has already chosen Windows over GNU/Linux on Netbooks. Google branding a gnu/linux distro isnt going to magically vanquish MS. Google's going to have to pump *a lot* of cash into new advertising for such an effort.
Further, do you *really* want an ad-supported OS? Fcuk that. Linux is already free.
Clearly everyone saying that Dante's Inferno is a God of W rip-off didnt play Ninja Gaiden nor Devil May Cry?
You guys are funny.
Frankly, I'll be skipping GodofW 3 this time. Looks like their playing it too conservative.
Lets wait and see what Dante's Inferno delivers before you dismiss it.
That's a damn sweet deal. I've got the chatpad, and like it, sending IM too-from LIVE Messenger is a real killer app.
"Most has been just filmed / behind closed doors"
Nonsense. Some of the industry's most respected press -- BBC, Time, Joystiq, Eurogamer, MTV, IGN and more -- have given first hand accounts that Natal works as advertised, and is outright impressive if not suprisingly so.
Nothing has been hidden. Nothign has been "secret". You're talking about the entire press pretty much saying a collective "Wow".
The only thing wro...
Ha. You're dishonest FUD stinks.
Firstly, Xbox 360s all have 3 year warranties. When the PS2 was dying left and right, where was Sony? I've got three dead PS2s in my closet *right now*. Dont talk about "console history".
As for the Xbox 360, it is dominating the HD market -- if MS does release a new unit, it will surely be backwards compatible to preserve their current lead.
Please, if you're going to make-up shiat to spread, at least...
No. He didnt.
Thanks for paying attention. Nuance and context. Looked them up for you;

No. Not at all.
At the Natal Launch, they said "Natal will work with *all* current and future Xbox 360s".
You're spreading nonsense.
Even if a new Xbox 360 (slim?) or Xbox 720 does arrive in 2010/11, Natal will still work with all Xbox 360s.
"only after total memorization of the game and with a lot of skill"
Exactly.
The world record for Super Mario Bros. is 05:08.
Does anyone say "SMB is beatable in under 6 mintues"?
No. The game is being designed to be *explored* and *discovered*, something lacking in modern adventure/platform games. I think this is a terrific idea; it adds re-playability -- if you get good, and want to "show" or "p...
You have to check-out "Game #3" from Behemoth.
Looks like a CoOp platformer.

Gears 3 will run on Epic's current (at the time) Engine. Gears 3 will ship on Xbox 360.

You have to understand, PS3 owners dont like pachter because he doesnt always say nice things about sony.
comparing pachter to HHG is ridiculous. One, this hhg person is a blathering idiot, with zero credibility, skill or use.
Pachter is one of the highest profile figures in the industry, a man who's paid (very well) by the industry to analyse the market.
You might not like what Pachter has to say, but dismissing him is sad fan...
You like his "style"?
You mean grossly ignorant, loud, arrogant and incomprehensible?
He's a douche of the highest order.
Joust could be a movie, done like Flash Gordon.
Oh the irony. Alan Wake is looking to be another break-out, genre expanding victory exclusive and what do we hear?
"Oh, its taking a long time".
"Their will be a PC release weeks after Xbox 360".
The usual FUD trying to dampen the over-whelming positive buzz Alan Wake has.
One thing is certain: Alan Wake *looks* like it will be a GOTY contender, without a doubt.

"The fact that you continue to bring up the miniscule difference between the PS3 and Xbox versions of Ghostbusters is laughable and desperate"
The fact that you want to pretend the difference was "miniscule" is laughable and desperate.
This forum is well-enough informed about videogames to see that the PS3 version no "little bit" worse; it was a v-e-r-y great difference.
We all know it, and you...
The latest software featuers for the Apple iphone OS: Connection sharing, SMS, Copy & Paste and Video recording?
These are features from 2003 FFS.
Their are *MANY* cellphones with better hardware. HTC Touch HD; 5MP camera, VGA CMOS up-front for cellphone Video-calling(!), better screen, longer battery, better GPS, MicroSD slot -- and it COSTS less.
Anyone who buys an iphone is doing out of 100% pure hype.
Omnia, Sony's XPERIA (w...
LIVE is the killer feature that MS will deliver in it's handheld.
The Xbox 360 is the leading HD console on the planet. It is burying the PS3 in the marketplace.
They should launch release a Zune HD with Slide-out controls (think Sidekick or PSPGo type "slide")
They should do this on Launch Day with the Zune HD. The **ONLY** thing the Zune-Game HD would need is controls and LIVE support. Nothing more.
And it would be a *MASSIVE* success.

I didnt know one person who didnt own MULTIPLE PS2s. I have 3. Disk scratching? Yep. Disc tray problems? Yep. Overheating/Frying/Bricking... etc etc etc? Yep.
Listen, the Xbox 360 had heat issues, but it was covered by the 3 year warranty! MS admitted, and made-right by their customers.
When my 2nd PS2 died, I couldnt even get the Sony Rep to return my calls.
Anyone who complains a...
It doesnt really matter if they sell a "slim unit" - it better be below $300 or they're wasting their time.
Walmart is already selling a $99 BR player... expect the $69 BR player by Xmass.
Sony needs to start a price-war or they might as well forget it and move to PS4 as fast as possible.
