As i am able to read the original post, here are the key points, without the google translator strangeness:

During a press meeting representatives of Pioneer claimed that Universal left the exclusivity contract with Toshiba regarding HD-DVD releases. Only that the quit is not yet in power...

... some general blabla regarding the format war, and what results this could have if proven true ... and then in the last paragraph

Universal Germany did not...

i always thought this was INDUSTRY news, not gaming news ....

Actually the Specialist disagrees there, he claims that it is used for situation training by the sicko users, and then more likely to be tried in the real world.
Kinda like a flight simulator is used to train pilots for certain situations.

Kid shot ...
"Last Wednesday, at about 3:00 PM, in Sydenham, South London, an 18 year old was shot right in his own home by ..."

so an 18year old is a Kid ?

Strange how the Kid in the headline transformed into a youth in the main text, and into an adult in reality ...

imho it failed cause they bastardized Link into a right handed furry.

More like killing someone cause being busted as a thief:

"A man with a bloody bandage on his left shoulder who described himself as one of the victims told The Associated Press the dispute started when he and the other victims accused Brooks of stealing a PlayStation console and game.

"The guy who shot us — he had stolen from our apartment. We went to confront him with the evidence and it just turned ugly from there. He pulled a gun out on us," sai...

Gears of war is on sale since xmass 2006, not since 1.5 years
RfoM is on sale since March, so its only 4 month Gears to 1 month RfoM

Still impressive for RfoM to sell close to the same ammount (83%) of Gears in only one month

because its
a) old and
b) already posted multiple times and
c) not news according to the n4g rules : "is a random forumpost from someone unknown on a random forum news : NO"

whoever approved that piece of trash should retake the contributor test, honestly

you are a bit moronic, as usual.

Epic always gave away addons and mappacks FOR FREE, yes, from their own money. No, its not the first time they wanted to do this, every "bonuspack" for the UT series of games was given away free of charge. Cause other than Microsoft, Epic knows that gamers HATE beeing nickle and dimed to death. And Epic knows that in the long run a stream of free add ons will keep a franchise alive and thus move consoles.

Lets take UT3 i...

also lotsa movies ARE region locked, and ALL PS2 and PS1 titles are region locked (in case you want to play the old games ;) )

and then you have to add toll and taxes and shipping ontop .. not a bargain in my view, cause you also have no one to turn your warranty in in a rare case of a defect ....

Sony will drop the price when the time they already set for such a drop is reached.

It is pointless to do a drop cause some random people cry for it, cause MS and Nintendo can counter ANY pricedrop by Sony atm and make it look like a panic reaction, and thats exactly what Sony does not want.

As someone else posted befor, a pricedrop may surface if the cost of the hardware drop below the retail price, and thats not now, and not this year for sure.

whats more shocking is the awful optics in the game, 8bit years are back?
I'll skip that one for my wii :p

so far MS aint adding a VDM Drive addon, where was your point again ?
Oh, your point is a) home is gay sh## and at the same time b) MS will add the same nananananaaaana

please make up your mind, can't stand people who diss one thing, and at the same time praise their own fanblock for making a cheap copy of it.

Link1: "It's possible, says Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi" compared to TheMart :"Sony said all games will run at 120fps"
thank you for providing a link that actually backs Deeps statement in an attempt to bash it.

Link2: what exactly is the lie in there, Kotaku writing there are NO games in 1080p, whereas as of now the fully playable demo of GTHD already manages that ... no prob for the full game then ;) so maybe Sony pointing ou...

Because as its a digital system, a $5 HDMI cable will do the same as the $200 Cable at best buy. the $200 cables are there to rip off clueless customers.

i could place an xbox360 Elite in a shop, glue an "ultra-elite" sticker on it and offer it for $2000, and it would be the same gain in "worth" than the $65 cables over the $5 cables: none

;) Expensive cables make sense in analog environments, digital systems don't suffer from signal loss wit...

ah come on, "i was told by someone who talked to someone else who said that Kojima said" in a satirical feature by 1up ... please base your views on more than that :p thats not even on TheMart level of "facts"

i fail to see what all the ruckus is about.
Every game so far can be done on BOTH the 360 and the PS3, there is no such thing as 'no way' in programming. Yes, Lair could be done on the 360, i fail to see the problem, the huge areas are limited by RAM and not by CPU, as both consoles have the same amount of RAM overall i see no prob for a Lair with 32*32 km area on the 360, the GPU can't be the limiting factor, as the 360 GPU is slightly better than the PS3 one.
Leaving the massi...
