Pachter's next prediction: Your poop will still stink.
Kigmal, the same reason that some gay people (not that there is anything wrong with that, seriously!) date people of the opposite sex. To hide something. Again, not that there is anything wrong with that!
Not all gamers are cut from the same cloth. Achievements mean absolutely nothing to me. I don't even have time to play all the games (work, gf, social) that are coming out. Shoot, I don't even have time to play just the good PS3 games. My gf bought me a PSP for Valentines, and she has a Wii and 360, and I can't even get through the PS3 games to start renting Wii games to try out (I have gamefly).
Achievements don't mean anything to a lot of gamers. Especially casual ones....
The same way gamers say don't listen to Fox News about gaming because they don't game, don't listen to non IP lawyers about IP law. This author, and everyone else on the internet, is confusing trademark with copyright or patent.
Aren't they doing Okami for the Wii too? Maybe they just want to do an original IP.
The PSP is doing quite well dood. Better than any other handheld has done to dent the Nintendo stranglehold on handhelds.
Apple innovated ... 2 decades ago. Apple is the king of rennovation more than innovation.
Sony innovates much much more.
Sony doens't profit much maybe from the BD license (they don't own it) but I think the article is referring to the fact that Sony may be providing the drives themselves.
Yup, they are fools, all of them! Did they not see how those combo vhs/betamax combo players sold like hotcakes during the 80s?
ThaModzRaJoke, Yup. Just like it takes mad skill and effort to change a leaking pipe, compared to calling a plumber to fix it and making love to my GF at her house while waiting.
But I'll tell ya which one is more fun ...
"If anything, the prices will start rising again since there is no competition anymore"
Oh Shat! When did Sony buy Denon, LG, Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and Sharp?? Because those are all the manufacturers of BD players listed at Best Buy, and you said there is no more competition anymore.
Remember guys, this is MSRP. Street prices will be lower. And Sony is always more expensive: Look to Samsung or Sharp or one of the other manufacturers for chea...
Don't forget March 08, Chains of Olympus. I understand its' a different dev, but it continues its pattern.
MS' first game in the series? I could have sworn some of the other games were on the Xbox.
While not Insomniac's purpose of course, they're too classy, what they are doing and this powerpoint is just a smackdown of other dev's. For all of us layman, it tells us, they get it, other devs don't.
I think what Insomniac is doing is going to have some very beneficial lasting effects on games for years.
neither. when things are going bad, what can you say? you have less arguments.
either way fanboys are just dumb.
I know you are joking, but the attach rate I'm sure won't be affected. Simple math really.
I love my country (US), but I am disgusted by how PC we have become. I am a minority and when my ethnicity is portrayed as such I don't get offended. I don't get offended unless there is malice or racist intent.
"And even if he were spanish, spanish (as in from spain) people are generally considered white."
okcomputer, the day someone tries to convince me Antonio Banderas or Penelope Cruz is white, is the day someone is going to get smacked upside their head, regardless of their race.
It is. What I'm wondering is where are all the "this isn't news for gamers" complainers when a non-gaming article that isn't focused on Blu-Ray comes out? Ever notice that?
Back to the article. Some of those science articles at Ars really make my head spin. Check out the one discussing bats and their ability to fly even at low speeds.
LJ, I know you were joking, but the one thing America has is the diversity of women here! From caucasion to asian to latina to black and everything else in between! I know there are other countries with such diversity, but not to the extent of the US I believe.
But I tell ya, NightCalls UK when I had playboy was the shiz!
Just to toss one back across the pond, British women are very hot ... until they smile ;)
Zing!
