There are USB flash memory aren't there? I've never seen a USB-ROM drive. In any case isn't 50gb of ROM cheaper then RAM.
If they can get 9gb in the DVD, and 32gb on a USB-ROM that's a lot of space. Seems silly though why not just allow people to install more data on an HDD. The side effect is having forced installs to the 360.
People who complain about the PS3 HDD installs might not use that as a bullet point for the system if 360 also had install requirements.
There is a new feature that needs to register for VOD DivX. If his system isn't registered that could disable some of the DivX quality.
If this is the case illegal or legal content is limited.
Thats all fine and dandy if the multi-plat games are simultaneously launched on both consoles. Unfortunately a lot more 3rd party titles being released exclusive to 360 or released first on it.
So, yea the PS3 has a lot of great 1st party games but MS is also buying up a lot of 3rd party games, having them released first on 360 or adding extra content to them. This makes it difficult to choose what console to own first.
Get the one with a lot of first part games and...
I checked printer settings and it detected my HP networked printer. It worked over the LAN network. I recently bought a new HP printer for $29.00 at newegg. I was like wow it even almost printed without borders on the ps3!

The preview tabs are nice. Much better then the text and icon views. Just hope it doesn't increase the resource usage much.
When will these version upgrades slow down. Seems every few days the flash updates and suddenly older clients lose flash capability.
I love the idea of flash being upgraded every now and then but when lower end devices are 2-4 versions behind and pages refuse to load they hurt. It's mainly because Adobe refuses to make all versions launch on all devices simultaneously.
A few years back I was a beta tester for a very popular anti-virus company. I spoke to the software engineers about viruses etc. I was even ask to write a few and send them in.
Back then the common belief was viruses couldn't damage a computer. A lot of people refused to buy anti-virus software because they could just backup data and reinstall with the (no harm done if I keep backups mentality). I started discussing ways I would destroy a computer and how I would do it.

They didn't mention the new copy protection in this story. If it's anything like spore there's going to be another fiasco.
When I saw this I was thinking native no 3rd party tools. So this article is deceptive. I know about this method of formatting I even used it myself. So what's new about this concept. Just type "Format fat32 vista" in google.
A little research and this info is mentioned already. Just checked it does require a little more effort with MS spamming the search engines saying vista limits 32gb parsons to fat32.
What happened to windows 1.0 2.0 3.0 and 3.1?
Those where before windows 95. So in reality it should be windows 9.0...
They should just replace that slow browser in ps3 with something fast like firefox. Plugin support etc.
This is really starting to be true. Back when Nintindo had the Seal of quality they limited the number of games released by a developer per year.
This forced companies to polish their products more and not spam the markets. SE is doing exactly that spaming the markets. FF this FF that. Because they have so many projects in development less resources are spent in each of them. It's really sad that back when Squaresoft was small the games where more creative and fun. Now they look ...
Most people don't realize despite FFXI being not as popular as WOW they are getting a lot of monthly revenue from subscribers. After the Squaresoft bailout FFXI brought them back. Once they got profitable they merged with Enix.
The Sony platform keeps getting set back.
First the long delay for the HDD
Then the removal of the HDD on new slim PS2's
Positive PS3 lauch that supported the game but never updated to next gen. Followed with Sony removing BC yet again sc...
I think Square Enix could have done much better if they wanted to attract new people.
Reminds me of that South Park episode for WOW. The dude was super powerful. This dude makes him look weak.
Most of the time these OS's don't work 100% for me or look too generic. For the first time this one actually looks a little more vista/xp like. More wizards to set things up.
The OS is just a client workstation with all the software stored and executed on/from the internet?
What do you expect they are almost giving them away. They are now cheaper then a Wii without a HDD. The Wii is doing ok without an HDD but cost more and isn't as next gen.
As for something being up, isn't the new 360 slims to be announced soon?
I checked and the article said it was coming soon. At the end it posted a MSRP of $299. If it was April 1st I'd call this an April fools joke, but it's not April
This can't be real, I'd guess $50 for a complete system at the most.
