The article poses a couple of sensible questions in regards to how MS will handle repairs and such after warranties start to expire.
It'd be nice to see them just replace RRoD'd systems without the need for a warranty period considering it really is just a result of some of the poorest design/manufacturing ever seen in a console (or in any other product for that matter)rather than user abuse or general wear and tear.
Either way if there are a lot of systems/users aff...
Read my comment again because I think you confused yourself.
I asked why people like anh_duong in comment 1.1 (among countless others before him on this site and others) think it's on top because it needs to use the mini usb port, not why they think it's going to be on top, which btw is obvious given the numerous pictures of it actually sitting there.
What I don't get is why are there people still assuming the pad is on top because it needs to plug into the mini usb port on the controller. It's a stand alone bluetooth device in it's own right, why would it need to plug into the controller?
I'll probably order this off play.com since it's a fair bit less expensive there, same with the sony bluetooth headset.
Gotta +1 that comment, the full article at Gamasutra was a really good read and really enjoyed it.
Great article. Would be nice to read similar interviews with other developers.
Maybe they'll put out a Dark Knight bundle when the movie is actually released ever think of that?
What a garbage article (based on the title).
Won't be giving techradar a hit.
lol he called R2 grey and bland
Hopefully you're not an electrician, I fear you are colour blind and may cause damage to your personage and that of others.
Just another reason to hate France imo
I've been following Aion for some time and from some of the things I've read it's reported to be a nice mix of WoW and Lineage 2 which does sound promising.
The one thing I hope that ncsoft have learned from their port of Lineage 2 from Korea to EU/NA is that they really need to enforce their EULA and support the game properly, both customer support and marketing. The marketing for L2 was/is non existant and so is the customer service, easily the worst customer service I've ever ...
Lineage 2's PVP is easily the best of any MMO out there. Some of the mechanics of it are pretty messed up because of the severe imbalances caused by certain kinds of gear but overall it's open pvp system is great. I hated when I tried WoW and couldn't talk to my enemies or kill some jackass from my own faction, L2 let's you kill anyone not in a safe zone (inside towns)
Hopefully these issues shut up a few of the fanboys that constantly mock the PSN and teaches them that every network is prone to problems.
Hopefully MS resolve this for you LIVE gamers soon.
What lokiroo420 said is wrong, it doesn't need to be hooked up to the controller other than that it clips onto it and it is indeed an independent bluetooth device.
The Madcatz version? No not at all in my experience.
Here's a couple of shots I just took of mine.

This will sound fanboyish but let's be honest here. The single biggest criticism of the PS3 is it's price yet despite that it has performed extremely well in the face if it's fierce competition, all at a price point deemed to be far too high by many people.
As the price of the console falls over it's life span and more people are open to buying one due to the lower price, that lead MS has right now will disappear pretty quickly when the PS3 price begins to drop, and it will drop...
Why would it need to be beside the power supply?
You're not another one of these people that think it's going to plug into that mini usb slot are you?
When they announced this device they said it would be compatible with other portable bluetooth enabled devices that have keyboard functionality such as a smart phone.
It's a bluetooth device that will charge via it's own USB cable and operate off it's own internal power source, there's no inherent need f...
Calling it xbox 1.5 is being generous considering how awful it is as a piece of hardware. Some amazing games and some great features no doubt but as an electronics device it's an absolute disgrace.
Also wtf is up with that name? Thom is right it does sound like some dodgy porno name lol...does Anal Hanna work there too I wonder? lol.
Anyway I think maybe she got her figures from Pachter? Actually I don't think Pachter would even be further off the mark than she is w...
As much as I love my ipod touch this claim is utterly absurd, I can't imagine gaming on my ipod touch. However I do plan on buying a PSP somewhere around or just after the holidays.
In no way shape or form could this game fail due to not getting the aggressive marketing strategy it deserves, I think you're deluded on that one.
The worst that will happen is that it will not fulfil it's potential in terms of sales. It'll sell incredibly well regardless but fail? Come on be sensible here lol
It really doesn't NEED to be where your thumbs are.
I've never understood this logic, I have the madcatz keypad which is positioned the same way and it is perfectly fine where it is.
Having it on the bottom on the PS3 controlller would be more of an inconvenience imo.
Sony didn't pull anything from the Netflix service.
Go hook your PC up to your TV and stream any of those Sony owned movies you like, they're all still there and you're free to watch them all you like.
The licencing agreement between Netflix and Sony owned studios along with other studios cover certain partner devices, as stated by that guy from Netflix. Currently for Columbia Pictures owned movies the xbox 360 is not a licenced partner device.
Now...
