I'm buying a new car at the end of the year. The 2011 Infiniti has a bunch of new features that are not included on the 2010 model. The 2011 version is also about $4500 more than last years model. Is it immoral or unethical for them to charge me more for the new model? Should I protest?
"Because it's unethical"
Man. I literally burst out laughing at that comment.
It has become the defining term of immature fanboys.
You may be the most pathetic human being that I have come across on this site...and that is saying a lot.
It's amazing what people will say to convince themselves that it's O.K. to steal software. You went off on a completely misguided rant because MS released a new version of Windows and they (shockingly) didn't give you a copy for free. Are you kidding me? What is this "give the community (what community?) what they want" nonsense? That must be the community of cheap-ass thieves who think the world owes them something just because they exist. Get a clue...and a job.
"I used to have an unspoken deal".
Why don't you just come right out and admit "I used to steal from Gamestop". Don't justify your "deal" with a nonsensical spin.
This item is over priced. But if anyone has a problem with the cost then they should take issue with Sandisk. Microsoft licensed the XBOX 360 name to that company and Sandisk is responsible for the high price tag of these USB drives.
On a side note: There are plenty of XBOX 360 bargains available!
I just purchased a new XBOX 360 Arcade console at Target for $129.99. The console came with 2 games and a $30 gift card. I sold the games, gift card and controller (I alr...
Do you really believe that Gamestop offered 50,000 copies of Red Dead Redemption for sale at that price? I have a feeling that they made less than 1/100th of that amount available for purchase.
If Gamestop is going to offer an enticing deal such as this recent "Red Dead Redemption" promotion then they should have taken provisions to allow a significant amount of people to actually purchase the item. The sale was obviously designed to bring attention/traffic to the site and on that front it succeeded. Unfortunately, it only served to anger the multitudes of potential customers that were unable to access the Gamestop web page. I spent at least 50 frustrating minutes trying ...

There is not a chance that their will be a 4 year gap between the next release of the XBOX and Playstation. I believe that the next consoles would be released less than 2 years apart (at the most).
What is with this "We" stuff? You're a consumer that bought a particular piece of electronic hardware. You're not part of the Sony conglomerate. The only time that you factor into their "plan" is when you conrtibute to their bottom line. Sony (or any other corp.) does not give a crap about you unless you are buying their products.
Sorry...enjoy your choice of gaming system but don't be a sheep.
It's kind of hard to beleive that the CEO of Nintendo "only" earns 2.1 million dollars/year. My boss makes more than Satora Iwata and I make 1/6 of his salary.
I picked up Dark Sector for only $8.00. This game far exceeded my expectations and may be the best bargain title available at the moment.
"And this is the best Microsoft can do. LOL"
You sound just as pathetic as the person that you described in your post.
Or we have, you know...a job.
Blitzed, you casually debased a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist for his “lack of intelligence” based on one statement that he posted in an online forum but you are upset because my challenge to your claim of possessing an exceptionally high IQ is based solely on a short, grammatically incorrect post that you submitted to AN ONLINE FORUM. Even you must recognize the multiple levels of irony present in this situation.
I must have hit pretty close to the mark for you to respon...
I'm sorry but if you're going to make an outrageous statement like "my [I.Q.] score is 204" then I'm going to call you on it. A score of over 200 would mean that your "Intelligence Quotient" is one of the highest in recorded history.
I see that you have retracted that statement and are now claiming to have scored within approximately 40 points of Stephen Hawking on a test administered by MENSA for "individuals with superior intelligence". Is this ...
Blitzed, you're actually claiming that your I.Q. is well over 200? Wait a second while I stop laughing...hold on....O.K. Do you realize that an I.Q. in that range puts you well ahead of Einstein (160) and Stephen Hawking (200) and would place you in the Guinness Book of Records. Let me guess...you received your I.Q. results from some type of online test.
Here is Blitzed original post:

It must suck when spending $60 over the course of a year actually means something to you.
