The only thing wrong with XP is that it comes with IE6.

If that were true, and it isn't, then Sony must have put together the most ridiculously stupidly architectured console ever.

Quote - "That's what distinguishes them from Valve. They make games exclusively for PS3 because they want to."
Yes, and Valve make games for PC/360 because they want to. There's no difference, other than ...
Really How many 360 specialists do you think Insomniac have right now? About as many PS3 specialists at Valve I guess.
How f-cking stupid are you? Really? You accuse me of going off topic, but the first half of my post clearly demolished your ridiculous "identical" argument. And you failed to address this.
No one is debating which processor is "theoretically" the more powerful. When Carmack most recently said the two were comparable, he wasn't talking about Folding - he was talking about what you could get out of it during gameplay.
You've tried, and flatly fa...
Your lack of comprehension of the english language is astounding.
He's not saying they're identical, as is made very clear by his next statement. He's saying that, in practical terms, you get the same out of both. That is very easy to understand.

You're not saying any more because you have no actual argument, and you use the word lol, like idiots constantly go errrr, not because it means anything - but you need something to fill your pathetic void...

It's not impossible for him to be wrong.
It's entirely possible that you are when you blindly claim with your zero actual experience that - "The CPU is about the same" - FALSE
I see you visited this thread days later, so shall I.
No - Hsu's editorial decisions, such as the redesign, and ridding of the pointless triple reviews for the majority of games were well received.
The circulation was steady with a readership of 500k. No, they couldn't find a buyer at the time, because no one wants a video game magazine anymore, regardless of Hsu's actions.
FYI.
I'm not a fan of Hsu (and his endless sticking it to the man posturing), but nothing he could have done as EIC could have saved EGM.
Ziff Davis would have been totally f-cked due to its massive debts no matter who the EIC of EGM was.
Do you really think there was anything he could have done to prevent ZD's bankruptcy? You do? Who's delusional now?

Some of the best devs stick to single platforms. I'm sure you can name plenty.
Left4Dead was one of the best new IPs of last year, more critically and commercially successful than pretty much every other new IP. That's not exactly "comfort zone". The stuff that they're doing with TF2, the whole art direction of TF2 wasn't comfort zone. Pioneering digital distribution wasn't comfort zone.
I have questioned Valve's recent moves, L4D2 seems cynical to me, ...
They're not PS3 developers, they don't have the right resources, and their current ones would rather make games than port them.
This is not news.

Re: The Hunter
How does your comment do anything to address the point I made. Which, in case you hadn't got (because you're thick), is that "no news is not news".
This item has come up again and again, most recently, yesterday.
Let's preface this by saying that I'm not a patent lawyer, and I think the American patent trolling system is a farce. (Ask yourself why all patent cases get decided in East Texas district for example, and things start to look dodgy)
But there's a whole load of Natal/MS/stealing/wambulance in this thread. And I think it's misplaced. Microsoft have a whole bunch of patents from their own research and from 3DV. They already do multi-object tracking, and they use a 3D webcam, wh...
Yeah, I don't know if it affected the Mac versions, but the Geforce 8 Mobile series was dreadful - laptop manufacturers had to issue BIOS updates which just span the fan 100% because nVidia got the solder wrong.
lol solidjun, you claim you invest, yet you've never heard of the Motley Fool.
I just don't believe you. I don't believe that anyone could go into the stock market, doing so little research on the companies and instruments on offer - to have not come across the Motley Fool.
It's not whether you accept what they say or not, but to be so blind ignorant that you've never heard of them. It's just incredulous.
I take it all the investing you do, is placing ...
No, I said if you don't know it, then you don't invest.
Not that you can't, although, given your lack of basic english comprehension - you probably can't. And that's specifically - you, not anyone else.

You "claim" to invest, what broker do you use, how do you visualise your portfolio? Pretty much every service, Google Finance, Yahoo, includes a news feed section - Motley Fool always features.
I don't generally use fool.com,...
The Motley Fool is one of the top ranking investment sites around.
Whether or not you agree with the opinion, this isn't some niche website - it ranks consistently higher in traffic ranks than N4G. You and your momma might not know it, because actually putting money where your mouth is, ie investing, scares you.

EDIT - Yes, of course you invest, that's why you've never come across fool.com. Have you heard of the WSJ? The Financial Times?

Their justifications for dropping LAN support do not hold water.
It will do nothing to stop piracy on top of their authenticated server system. It will just pointlessly up network latencies for people playing across a LAN, as data will have to needlessly traverse the net.
That's got to be Winter 2010 at earliest right?
Almost given up hope on seeing that. I mean, they've got the episodic development cycle right, but they opted for L4D2 instead.
But at least the idiot talk of boycotting has died down. If you don't buy a product because it's too expensive, that isn't a boycott. That's price elasticity, it's natural price vs demand.
I reckon Activision will get away with the higher price. The holiday season means it's all parents and partners buying games. Will they even notice the price increase?
I won't get it at the launch price. But you can be sure that Activision will drop the price next year, that's...
