Probably not such a good sign. Serenity happened because Firefly was cancelled.

You own the hardware: the fan, the shell, the wires, the cord that plugs it into the wall, the PHYSICAL elements.
You do not own the software: the games the 1.x updates to the games, the OS. That's all intellectual property. Sony reserves the right to disable that, which turns your PS3 into a $300 door stop.
@bailoutbenny
Sony can't do anything to the hardware. Fair enough.
The OS is software. It's subject to EULA. Therefore it's not actually yours. Sony can do whatever they want with it.
@jetlian
Ok so you own the hardware. Fair enough. Sony can't disable the hardware. Fine.
You pointed out that we are subject to EULA, on the software. It's not actually ours. We're paying for the right to use it, within the terms they set. They would then have the right to disable the software n the case of a particularly egregious violation, like pirating games.
They have the right to disable software.
The OS is software.

Bigger than Panau is a great idea. Just need more freeways and less water. I played Just Cause 2 to 83% completion before needing to send my PS3 out to get fixed (first time I EVER had to do that for any system, props to Sony for reliability). My only gripe (and a minor one at that) is how much of a pain it is to get from point A to point b in that game. Primarily because there were so few freeways. I guess they made up for it with an abundance of airfields. Wherever I was there was a chopper...
Now that sucks. Exchange rate alone would only make the game AU$62.
Yes it does. Sales numbers can't tell anyone anything about quality. It only tells you that 120 million people (myself included) bought a PS2.
All I'm saying is that Popularity is no indicator of quality. It's not even an indicator of whether or not YOU will like it.
The rules are simple.
If you like 360 games, buy a 360.
If you like PS3 games, buy a PS3.
If you like Wii games, buy a Wii.
If you like Android g...
Good point. I probably should have noted that while popular doesn't mean good, good can lead to popular. A couple examples would be Lost, Metallica, and Lord of the Rings. All very good... eventually became very popular.
However, my original point still stands, no measure of quality is either stated or implied in the definiition of "popular"
On the article: very little here that I haven't seen before, either in articles or figured out by watching the game video.
On the game: sounds like a typical video game sequel. This is a good thing, look at Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 (I'm leaving out MGS2 & 4 because they were on totally new platforms). Video game sequels are USUALLY (not always) dramatic improvements over the original.
Let Pachter and all the 360 fanboys chew on this.
"Popular" =/= "good"
A few examples of what I mean: Katy Perry, Dane Cook, vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, The Hills, most of the American Pie franchise, the Guitar Hero franchise, the Call of Duty franchise, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Mortal Kombat (the first one), Power Rangers, Full House, Beer Pong, and misspelling words like efficient, definitely and ridiculous.
"Gamestop came out with there Weekly Ad"
This is getting annoying.
"They're" is a contraction of "they are."
"Their" is a plural possessive pronoun.
"There" is either a pronoun or an adverb, as in "There is no way you're sitting there."
Now we use all three in a sentence: "They're in there with their bear," there, I said it.
OT: Rip-off o...
N4G contributors decide what gets posted and what doesn't. All you have to do to become a contributor is submit 3 stories. Story gets 10 approvals, it's posted.
If you think this is bad, you should see the stuff that doesn't make it. Corporate sites trying to sell WOMEN'S SHOES.... on N4G.
Ummm... so? Let me point out a few examples of what I'm about to tell you.
Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, Katy Perry, Full House (sitcoms in general), Keeping Up with the Kardashians (same as most reality TV), Us Weekly, Dane Cook, Sam Kinison, Vin Diesel, Movies based on SNL sketches, movies starring pro wrestlers, and the idea that owning more than ten guns is a person's civic duty.
"Popular" =/= "good"
Not entirely sure that happens a whole lot in the UK. Maybe he should be sent to prison in Texas. Almost a foregone conclusion there.
Full Disclosure: I own a PS3, NOT a 360.
I think the fact that most 2011 releases are for Kinect could be part of MS's plan. They want to get as many games as possible for Kinect out as quickly as possible, so people will want to buy that particular peripheral.
I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect some Core games in late 2011 in to 2012, when the new wears off the Kinect.
I could be wrong... Microsoft could be saying &q...
I got the impression that the beast wasn't too into thinking, which would have been required for the Beast to employ Moya.
She probably worked for Kessler, for the reason you gave. And she was helping him groom Cole for his fight with the beast.
If I'm right, it gives Moya's communications with Cole a whole new meaning.
Not likely. Remember Kessler's disappointment when 'good' Cole destroyed the Ray Sphere. And his... pride when 'evil' Cole activated it? The evil version of future Cole is Kessler.
Besides, the future Cole theory is too popular. Not sure Sucker Punch would go there again.
The most accurate statement that can be made about Activision can be found at the VERY end of the article.
"Not evil, just... lame"
There are a few good theories here, and some sound arguments to support those theories.
I don't think the Beast is yet another future version of Cole, just because it would be too predictable. It just makes too much sense. I'm thinking the Beast will be another crazy twist.
It can't be Zeke. When he turned on the Ray Sphere, nothing happened. He's not a "conduit," whatever that means.
The pictures of the Beast had it...
Microsoft has already released the XBox 720. This story is dated 11-10-2010
