@inmusicutrust $5 is the minimum for CC that is BS. I do a lot of work with ecommerce based companies and minimum charge is a bogus argument nowadays. Those mom and pop stores and restaurants may use a secondary processing service that does such. That is on them; tell them to switch. There are plenty of processing services that do not have that minimum requirement and very low processing fees. Secondly, large corporations that do a lot of business negotiate ...
@Christopher Delaware incorporation benefits does not apply to taxes like this. Companies incorporate in Delaware for several reasons
1. They have a special court called the Court of Chancery that only deals with issues of corporations and has long history in doing so.
2. The state is very flexible in how a corporation is setup
3. There is extensive case law established in Delaware that is beneficial to corporations
...
Funny how this has story has changed from Sony's onerous policy of charging a minimum amount ($5) on purchases to a tax issue. Taxes are determined by a state by state basis. The US Supreme Court has ruled on multiple occasions that a state can force a retailer to collect sales tax only if that retailer has a physical presence in that state. If there's no physical presence in a state, then the state can't require a retailer to pay taxes Now this does not mean the ...
Another bogus, uninformed blog post. It is like they can't help themselves. The first sentence alone tells you they did no research. They just probably based their info on various forum posts they read or another blog post of person who read a tweet about a forum post from a person who learned from another friend how they heard about the DF video/blog post or something similar.
Did not need to read any farther than this to realize the opinion pie...

>>oh,so you know you know already scorpio system power? and how it is using it? :) you are some clever guy,who works for spencer and know everything :D
Snarky much? Why did you not questions Travis3708 if he worked at Microsoft for Spencer since he has in depth knowledge of it being only slightly more powerful than Pro . Why is he more believable? Is he more believable because you have a personal bias in place? I think so.
How do you know how much it cost to develop? Do spill :) And why do people keep saying they will bring out a Pro 2 following Scorpio?
First, to expense. No console is inexpensive to develop. The Pro has a lot of heavily customized chips. The GPU is not straight Polaris, you can take Sony's own release notes as it shows tech for the GPU comes from Vega and beyond. They just didn't pull parts of shelves at put it ...
Well those in favor of 4KUHD discs have the actual media sell numbers on their side. You lose the argument just on the growing sale stats of these discs. Secondly, like you have strangely become accustomed to crappy streamed video. It is not hard put two standard 1080 TV's together and start the stream and Blu-Ray versions and compare. It is obvious. HD is nowhere near Blu-ray quality , And that thing they call 4K stream is a joke of massive proportions. It i...
That is why these are comparison are bogus. According to Steams own polls. Most PC gamers don't have the hardware (whether it be GPU or a monitor or both - definitely not two 1080 cards) with capability of supporting 4K. Admittedly I do have the hardware but, I am realist and know my rig design (like the one in this comparison) is not the same for most other PC gamers. You would think to be fair they would compare all on the most common resolution at their ...
The point is selling more units does not mean more profit. In the console biz it is the future profit from software that will determine profitability. Devices are usually not a good determinant of a division overall profits, especially true for holiday season. Costs, discounts and many other variables are in play in the Xbox division and affect per unit profits and may be negative or loss. And even if you sell software (games) the declining season profit on a device will take ...
No, you may have an alternative reading ability. Rare among the general population. with only 1 in 1,000 showing only slight symptoms. It is however quite prevalent among certain communities, especially gaming fanboys. Although no official studies have been done, Dr. Schlongmeister, estimates it is found in almost 50% of those communities where fanboys frequent. Like dyslexia, it is neurological affliction that affects reading and language interpretation skills. Instead of seeing the actua...
More times than not I would accidentally load it. It was a cool function to have for certain situations but, it did seem to slow down the Xbox One. It is not unusual to think something is a good idea but, it's functional design becomes lost in the weeds as the rest of the UI progresses. There are things on my PS4 that I thought were cool at first too but, I find now to be annoying or inefficient.
I must say I have been playing with the new interface th...
Let me get this straight. Most of the time (let's just say 90% of the time because I like certainty :) ) on stories like this we call out developers for overstepping. But, in this case one developer talks about how he impressed by the power of the Scorpio and he calls it next gen it must be the Microsoft narrative that is false not his zealousness in making a point of the of his own belief in difference between the two mid-gen updates?
@gangsta_red That wasn't a spec sheet recently released but, a white paper that has been openly available from Microsoft's website since June of 2016. The paper discussed some aspects of reaching 4K. Essentially talking about various technologies developers could use. For example, they discussed something similar to checker-boarding. From there everybody started deciphering what was said in a paper that did not go into hardware details. Of course, each side of ...
Yet all those liberals seem to idolize and follow those that on average never attended/complteted college. Yes, entertainers the ones you seem to follow for all your political knowledge. Over 46% of actors/actresses never attended college (that includes a community college). 17% never graduated high-school or even went back later for GED. Of those in the entertainment industry that went to college less than half actually graduated. We don't want to even go into...
The proposed tax is not for foreign companies. Trump and many people don't have a problem with foreign companies producing their goods within their own walls and exporting them to America. He never said anything close to that. What most people are upset about is for American companies that are American in name only. All they have are headquarters run grey suited pencil pushers. Those companies produce everything outside this country and just impo...
I agree so much easier to preserve. I put my discs right next to my large collection 8-track cassettes, VCR tapes and stacks of old newspapers :)
It is good to have both digital and physical as an option. Unfortunately for those that like physical disc that option is more likely to be slowly removed within the next 10 years. I suspect the move will start to take place in earnest with the next generation of consoles. Not all at once but, done more and more. ...
So you think either Sony or Microsoft is going bankrupt soon or their serves go down on a regular basis? That is the only way the servers get disconnected. The digital copies are on their servers not the game developer's servers.
Contrast that with, wait to you get scratches on that disc, lose that disc, kids throw it like Frisbee and shatter that disc, girlfriend breaks that disc, friend borrows that disc and never returns it, like your keys you misp...
Yeah for the FH2 game that is over 2 years old is 56% or 50% in a bundle package with game Forza 5 that is 3 years old. I don't know where you got any of the most recent Forza games are 56% off. For this sale, FH3 is definitely not 56% off. The actual article (from your link) clearly says 21%. Forza 6 is a over year old and is 26% off. I wish the current sale included a FH3 with that kind of deal. If it did (even thought I am backlogged with ...
I agree the noise has been a little lite on PSVR. But, that is nothing unusual after the hype of any device dies down. I suspect the same for Switch or Scorpio devices after a few months of their respective releases. I have always said I would wait and see at E3 2017 to determine where VR support (including PSVR) will be at that time. And than determine if I pull the trigger on any particular VR device. For example, if Sony still hasn't got the supply issues under control (for ...
@dumahim
>> "Scalebound being cancelled was argued to be a good thing as well"
So you are saying that Nintendo has been working on Netflix for three years and it still looks like crap. Like Microsoft with Scalebound they just decided to cut their loses and not provide Switch with Netflix. Yeah, it really sounds like the same thing. /s Heck, Netflix is on everything from $20 streaming sticks, tablets/computers, phones, and $10,000+ TVs. ...
