I'm pretty sure dead batteries would make it turn off, as is the case with most battery powered devices.
Glitch?
I posted this elsewhere before about Natal:
I want to see how to use it practically in a shooter, driving game or platformer. Maybe I'm just not that innovative, but I don't see a practical way to ditch the physical controller and still have fine tuned/accurate controls or a large selection of controls available. I think only very simplified games will work with this tech. And for those who say "you can use it in conjunction with the controller", then why not just have motion ...
lol, 360 fanboys think it's a "sex toy" because they are used to microsoft screwing them so often.
why isn't quake 4 on steam?
lol, it takes more than storage space to make a game :p
But, in regards to your ps3 reference, I don't really see it falling behind yet either.
On the other hand (and I'm probably going to get slaughtered for this), as foremost a PC gamer myself, I really think that the 360 has held PC gaming back with console development first then a PC port. Its not the 360's fault, more the developers, but it still happens that way.
I don't see the control being too much of an issue, as MMORPG's are being developed that work more on hit detection rather than locking on. As far as combat, you don't have to have skills bound through 1-9 on a keyboard, but could use combos similar to any existing action/fighting game.
Cost isn't that big a deal, there are some MMO's without subs (guild wars), and a lot of console owners are used to paying subscription fees (LIVE).
Commitment really has nothing to...
Well, in all seriousness, I believe there are an estimated 900mill - 1 billion computers in the world. So basing the ps3 install base against that, and all those computers still kicking around from the 80's and 90's...yeah, i bet Patcher might be right for once - there probably are 90-100 million more powerful PC's out there. Hell, he might be even be giving pc's a little too much credit ;p

I think you're a bit confused. You're referring to in game chat, which does already exist. This is about cross-game chat, meaning you can chat with people who are playing different games than you.
As I've said before, have you ever had a friend/family member call you while you are playing a game? They can tell you're not paying attention to them, and usually you aren't... you just keep say "yeah" to everything they say. Now have people on both ends playing different games. It would be the stupidest most pointless conversation ever, if any conversation even occurs. Maybe some people are better at multitasking, or don't get that into their games, but I see cross game chat a...
a bigger case with more fans ;p
Wouldn't all the people asking for a Wii HD be interested in move?
360 sales can not be used to judge the install base. I have personally bought 3 360's, each being a consecutive replacement for the first. (If you really want to get into it, one was through a best buy replacement plan and the last was after 3 years). Out of those 3 360's, only one is "installed" the others were scrapped. I'm not in the majority when it comes to this, but I'm definitely far from being the only one. I think its safe to take 15-20% off M$'s "installed" f...
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a "sandbox" mmo, is one where there isn't an overall structure of what you are supposed to accomplish within the game. What I mean by this, is that, while there are quests and what not, there isn't necessarily an "end game", where the story is more driven by the players. The developers basically give you a world to play in, but the players are really the ones creating the story of whats happening in that world. You would n...
I'm not sure if the gameplay style of MGS Rising has been announced yet, but based on the way Raiden fights, I'm assuming this game will be a metal gear spin off with gameplay similar to ninja gaiden. I could be completely wrong, but if you played MGS4, you know he's a ninja. After all, the game has the tag line "Lightning-bolt action", as opposed to the traditional "Tactical espionage action".
Yeah, when i worked at best buy selling comps/in store geek squad, ID 10 T errors came in almost every day.
Power switch not on, or not plugged in. I loved it when people brought in the monitor and said "my computers not working, can you fix it?"
The US is FAR from having the fastest networks.

August of last year we were rated 28th in the world.
I'm not even sure that any of the current members even worked on the original games.
