Yes and no. Sony and MS both have innovated and imitated at different times. But it's largely a necessity as the two companies specialize in different things. For any one thing MS copies, you can find something that Sony copied, too. And anything Sony comes up with, you can find something MS came up with too. Look it up, and you'll see.
Sony came up with Blu-ray. However, many of the audio/video codecs the thing uses were developed by Microsoft.
MS slacked in support...
Sell it for 99$??
Why would they want to lose money on it? The PS2 isn't even at that price yet.
Sell things like Jobs?? WTF?!?
MS just doesn't have the insane fan base that Apple does. Steve Jobs is a money-grubbing bastard, but people don't care. You could make a device that did nothing but shred your money, name it an Apple iShredder, and the Apple devotees would buy it in droves.
And it seems you forgot that you still have a reticle when you're not scoping. A more balanced approached would be to remove the reticle when shoulder firing the sniper rifle. That would remove the effectiveness it has at close range, or at least make it to where it takes serious skill to headshot people without the scope.
Overrated, too. Not to the degree Halo is, but definitely overrated on reviews.
Some cars were impossible to drive, all the fun of the previous "arcadey" GTA's was gone (parachutes, POWERFUL attack choppers, etc), the hand-to-hand combat sucked.. and the multiplayer was kind of boring and redundant.
You know it's bad when you get cheers when the game mode switches to Shotty Snipers. Makes me throw up in my mouth and turn it off.
Why would you criticize Konami for that? It's not like they are actually the only ones who try to keep a street date secure. It's not fair to people who have to wait when a someone at a retailer sells a game early, accidentally or intentionally.
Not only do these people have to wait longer, but they often have to be very wary of using the internet, because inevitably some morons will be posting spoilers left and right.
So yeah, if I was Konami, I'd be upset, just lik...
That's awesome. I also love to see "Vote for *******" stay on a tree or side of the road until the NEXT election. Makes me want to hunt down whomever put it there, and slap them with the sign for never going to pick it back up.
Exercise in a video game? Blasphemy!
I play games for two reason: to escape reality, and to sit on my ass to get as fat as possible.
Okay, maybe I'm not trying to get fat, but after working 8-10 hours a day, I have no desire to exercise even more when I get home.
That was my thought. If after waiting this long, the game turns out to suck, 3D Realms will have to be burned at the stake.
Well, regardless of whether it's "overboard" or not, it's something we better be getting used to on consoles (funny how it's fine on PCs, isn't it?). If the 360 had mandatory HDDs, they'd have installs, too. It'd be beneficial, too... could possibly help the Unreal Engine issue of delaying the textures.
But I imagine later in this generation and definitely in the next, we will see most, if not all, games having some sort of install on the hard drive. Data can offloaded ...
Sometimes I think Morgan is more of a man than he is.... and then I look at her and think straight.
"We flatly refused this request, because we believe that this puts journalists in an unethical and awkward position."

Oh he is, he is.
I'm glad to see him finally hit 100%. He's had several videos in the high 90's, so I'm glad to see him get them all!
I'm curious as to how many guitars he has went through in mastering this song. My strummer wore out after a couple of months, and I know good and well I haven't played as much as him.
Maybe so, but I can attest to the fact that I have never once played against a girl online, and neither does my g/f care about it. So it seems to fit his list well enough.
Eventually, yes, but it's going to take a while. No console has a way to download all of its games, and even if they did, they don't come with hard drives to accommodate this.
Much of the world doesn't have infrastructure for downloading multiple GB's of data all the time.
So while I do think that in the future we'll see most things being digitally distributed, I still see that it's going to take much longer to get to the point where a 10gb movie or game being downlo...
You and me both. Seems the moderators are more worried about people having the last name of Gaywood than actual problems that need attending.
For sure. Apart from the sheer number of quests and things to collect, Oblivion is very mundane to me. Boring countryside with dull characters scattered amongst. But that's how Bethesda has made Elder Scrolls, and people love them.
Makes me worry about Fallout 3 to a certain degree, though.
I can agree with most things being returned that are not broken. I've done it a few times myself, as I've had things that should have been compatible but ended up not being.
As for it costing the electronics industry countless billions, I'm not so sure about that. Most of the stuff is just resold (I work at a retail place, we do it all the time), and if it is returned to the manufacturer, they'll just rebox it and send it back out.
More specifically, only in Utah.
Provo, Utah is the home of Brigham Young University, LDS Missionary Training Center, and *cringe*, the Osmonds.
These awards sounds to me like a bunch of wealthy Mormons handing out awards to promote ultraconservative and religious views under the guise of nationalism.
Which is kind of sad if you think about it. Look at the iphone... the things were overpriced, got crappy reception, had exclusive deals with AT&T, and Apple even bricked the ones who were hacked.
But yet, everyone kisses Steve Jobs' butt for delivering what they see as the single greatest electronic device ever created by man.
