"Microsoft believes the key differentiator between Xbox as a TV platform and the sea of failed competitors will be its voice and motion search tool."

So Microsoft thinks IPTV or "Smart TV" hasn't picked up because competitors don't use voice control or search engines?

Yeah we know how well this is going to be.

Perhaps it's because the Xbox is a dev kit.

Well you should really switch to WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] anyway, so all your devices work, there is no need to reconfigure all your devices that are currently locked onto WPA2 as they will still pick up your wireless as the same unless of course you change your key.

Yes battery actually cannot keep up with today's technology unless we stop using Lithium Ion. The holy grail for Lithium is actually 80% efficiency and technology has just about hit that dead end, meaning the power you get for the size of the battery is finite, you cannot get any better.

@digitaedge,

"Both the 3DS AND the Vita state 3-5 hours of play, but there are differences. The 3DS figures are with brightness up, Wi-Fi on, and 3D on."

" Sony should be training its support staff to know what the frickin' error codes are all about."

You are probably asking the wrong department or are asking general services. Besides who calls about errors codes, google it up, it's quicker and it'll save you the call cost.

" thus I can't connect to my own internet connection because it uses a WPA2 AES security function"

Why don't you just use WPA-PSK [T...

Sony have already announced the official external charger,

but using a Sanyo Eneloop charger instead and you have one hell of a supplementary battery supply.

The memory cards are expensive compared to Micro SD cards, but compared to previously used MS Duo cards, they are much cheaper.

" when the times I am on the move (or anyone for that matter) is barley long enough to justify getting into a fully fledged game."

Then don't play those games on the move, in a poll done by Famitsu around last year, they found 97% of portable owners in Japan play their portable consoles at home.

Just because they are portable doesn't mean they have to played on the go, there are moments when you just don't want to boot up the TV and home...

Obviously he was being sarcastic, right?

That's Capcom for you, every single release from this generation onwards has been a miss.

You get a big red flashing banner that tells you the core audience is on one particular platform but somehow they end up on the other side, then they start bitching about how the gaming market has changed.

Why would they need to tone down the 3D effects, it's not like you are being forced to use them.

His conclusions about active and passive are quite flawed, he talks about passive 3D overcoming its weakness of only being able to do 540 lines by having your brain "fuse" two 540 lined images to produce full HD 1080. If that were true active 3D would have 2160 lines because both eye would see 1080.

The the test also contradicts 100% of TV reviewers who say passive produces jagged edges and scan-lines, due to the interlaced resolution. When you have this much contra...

Zombies represent the ultimate cannon fodder for a video game. Why bother with trying to justify shooting a Nazi/Russian/Alien/Terrorist/G ov conspirators/robots etc when you can simply put in faceless zombies that require no story. Not to mention zombies allow you to add great variety in weapons in both gun or melee categories.

Look, just release a 3DS lite and I'll buy it. The current model's quality isn't very well balanced. I think everyone is actually just waiting for a re-release just like the original DS.

However Reggie said no to a Lite model anytime soon, so I'll continue waiting...and waiting.

I'm not questioning whether the score was right or not, just merely contributing some good points about the game.

But it is as you said, different sites have different standards. Personally though I thought the game was pretty well done, added a darker side to the series.

Not to mention the new combat style makes it feel like a pseudo fighting game rather than a button masher.

Well deserved, Eidos Montreal had to put up with lots of pressure to perform and they delivered.

Funny how you should quote 2001 as a shining example of what is great for people with "taste". Wind back 30-40 years ago that movie was specifically critised for being pretentious, boring, "terrible" and overly arty ie a "novelty". Yet here we are years later calling it a classic of the 20th century.

Times change, interests change.

But maybe you can buy your DVD's instead, at least you won't kick yourself by realising tha...
