It must be NPD time again. I wonder if America = The World yet? No worries, someone's bound to clear up the issue for us.

Hackers have been hacking for decades and gaming is still here. It's going to be ok.

Makes little difference to me, I'm gonna own them all. All they need to do is release LA Noire.

Also, and more on topic, how does one rate the quality of motion capture from still images?

Forum post, from a forum not even related to the game. Dubious at best.

I played the demo for the first time yesterday and I'm really impressed. Just plain fun.

Man, I love Hot Pockets!

Karooo, my friend, the console war has been going on ever since Intellivision released. We all know that Colecovision was best. It doesn't make sense to say that "360 fanboys" started it.

This war has been in full swing on middle school playgrounds since 1979. The internet has made middle school last forever, unfortunately.

Welcome to the internet.

It will be interesting to see if this actually does hurt his career. He's standing up for what he believes in, which is the ability to be able to say whatever you want to say no matter who it hurts.

It will also be interesting to see if the same claims levied at Geohot could stick to this guy. He didn't hack the console, he just repeated what others posted.And the university system will probably back him up. It's the opposite of the corporate world in a lot of way...

I picked up a copy for PS3 yesterday and it is clearly marked on the box that the game requires a paid subscription after 30 days.

Caveat emptor. Don't blame retailers if you make an uninformed decision to purchase.

First, it would be nice if people understood the difference between an EULA that you have to agree to when you first use the software installed on your system and ToS, which is what you typically agree to when you try to access a service for the first time.

Sony won't explicitly destroy console hardware. They don't have the right to destroy private property, and console hardware that you purchase belongs to you. They could probably legally disable the software on the ...

Yep, I agree that what Sony is doing is more of a show of good faith to their stakeholders than anything else. The damage is done and now they have to have a show strength.

A lawsuit in civil court doesn't change anything, and it sure isn't going to scare hackers into submission. There have been lawsuits for decades for this kind of thing and it never stops hackers.

There is no honor amongst thieves and none of the other hackers will do much to suppor...

Sony can sue whomever they want, but that doesn't fix the problem. I believe that's what SpaceFox is trying to articulate.

Pandora's box is opened. The cat's out of the bag. Apply whatever idiom you prefer. Nothing can undo this.

Also, the DMCA is a US law and so far this isn't a criminal complaint. So suing a German hacking group for restitution under the DMCA is probably meant more as a warning than anything else. These lawyers aren'...

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Too late to really do anything about it; lawsuits don't put the genie back in the bottle.

I suppose a free month doesn't hurt and definitely propels me toward the impulse buy category. And to further justify my weakness, if I play just a few hours a month it's probably money well spent.

I really want this game, but I can't make the time commitment to it that would justify the subscription fee. It makes me kind of sad.

That's how it is with any game. It doesn't matter what any reviewers say. What matters is whether you like it or not.

I'll reserve judgment until more reviews are available and I've had a chance to play it myself. I'm still waiting on the demo download to finish, so hopefully I'll be able to try it out tonight.

I guess my question is whether it is really going to matter what we want. Technology changes, and there's nothing we can really do about it. People are going to adapt to it, and those of us holding the line for our ideals will just get left behind.

Gosh, look at Steam as an example. People will pay to download games. It's proven. You can leave your PC running when you're away from home and the downloads just happen. Then, when you get home, you fire it up and play...
