Surprisingly, it looks like I just got one. Wasn't really looking for that... been running around in circles trying to get the LBP invite...
The subject line also changed...
"Lame to say the least. It's like, just because it's little big planet and it's new and you've finaly got ahold of it you can priase it even higher and higher, doesn't matter if the controls are off or if it isn't as grand as you all once thought. "
Or they could actually be evaluating it correctly, but just because some people have made their comments which are old (and can't change without embarassment), they can keep belittling it lower and lower, doesn't matter if t...
No.
Not to detract from LBP at all, but youtube will contain thousands of videos about LBP and thousands about other trends. So LBP won't be that big, but that doesn't mean it can't be huge.
Probably "the system will forward a key to the same address (instead of direction) that may be used on PSN to start your download"
Yet another reason why Sony and Publishers would love to go this route.
"if you have something on your HDD, its not going anywhere, no lending, no returning"
Ah... you've just given the best reason why Sony and the MPAA would love that....
"Does anyone have any IDEA how HUGE the cost would be to provide the INFRASTRUCTURE that would be able to give people the internet speeds fast enough to download movies in LESS than 6 hours? "
Not sure. The 200 billion that telecoms were given by taxpayers to lay fiber in the 90's might have helped, but they pocketed all that.
Make no mistake. The obstacle is not cost. The telecoms simply want to continue to sell you television, phone and internet as separa...
"The digital divide is still much larger than some of these editorial writers and analysts care to acknowledge. The actual percentage of people with broadband access worldwide is still considerably low."
This is true.
However, you have to correlate that number to the percentage of people with income levels that allow them to buy games and consoles with prices like the ps3's. When you do that, you'd find there's not much of a divide.

"Are you legally blind? How big was the screen that you were viewing?
1080p regardless if it is coming from a blu-ray disk or a downloaded file (such as quicktime movie trailers) looks 10 times better than DVD."
Also depends on the transfer. There are some BR discs out there with such bad transfers that they don't look appreciably better than an upscaled dvd. I'm extremely picky about what BR discs I buy as a result. I'd never buy any disc that doesn't at least ...
yeah, I think that's a crazy line of reasoning too.
I do think people will want hard copies, but I can see things moving away from blu-ray.
Ironically enough, we may move back to cartridges again. (This is all speculation) Flash is currently dropping faster than Blu-ray in terms of percentages. So why limit the next console to X number of layers on Y brand of disc media. Just put as much flash as you want into a cartridge, use usb 3.0 or some uber fast interface an...

I'm pretty sure the article's a joke btw. Seems jokes are all that site does.
Though I still need to unsee that headline...
I agree, meta-gathering review scores tells very little.
What each person needs is to go out and find three or four reviewers that are compatible with your own taste in games. 500 reviews are not going to give you more info than 3 or 4 good ones. That, and sometimes 500 reviews will be mostly by people with very different taste than your own. Sometimes more is not better... it's just more.
Except there has only been on ruling.
It's the ruling that's talked about in the source: "Comcast has decided to fight an FCC ruling that it is improperly blocking customers' Web traffic.
The FCC determined that the company is violating a federal policy that guarantees unfettered access to the Internet, but Comcast challenged the this ruling in the U.S. District Court of Appeals."
But that ruling has nothing to do with caps.
There...

In 2005, the FCC adopted a policy statement stating its adherence to four principles of network neutrality.
You can download a pdf document of these FCC principles here: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ed...
it's a federal policy, like most regulations,...
"What we really need is transparency, that is, we know exactly what we are paying for and what we are getting."
And that's what we'll get because Comcast knows they'll have Class action suits everywhere if they continue to advertise unlimited.
The FCC here is just saying, "don't mess with p2p, it's against net neutrality rules."
Bad article, incorrect even at the original source. The entire thing is inaccurate.
The FCC ruling is against slowing/interfering with certain traffic, not capping overall downloads. The FCC, so far, seems fine with download limits/caps... just not with a provider slowing bittorrent traffic in particular or any other kind of traffic without affecting the other types.

Flamed?
Probably just disagrees and a few people who have seen almost this exact post over and over.
If you don't get it I doubt anyone can explain it to you, but...
First of all, at it's core LBP is supposed to be a really good platformer by all accounts. Humor and Graphics contribute to this.
Second, map editors in most games are like trying to create the Mona Lisa with a few stolen hamster-hairs and exhaust drippings or they require inte...
Seems like a poorly thought out article. Most things are just bug fix/ui tweak stuff that I have no doubt will be fixed almost immediately and most of the rest are only important to a tiny subset of users. Even extensions are only really a dealbreaker for firefox power users...

I'm not sure.
Like someone else said, it may be totally random.
Or else, it could be targeted somewhat to certain demographics... it's hard to say.
