"Any time any government needs money they just sue MS. Just write it off as the cost of doing business in those countries I guess.
Yeah that makes sense, we need money so sue Microsoft. It has nothing to do with any actual law.
I hope they make it more accurate then the Wiimote!
How do you know it's stealing?
I watch Youtube videos all day long. Now companies are complaining that certain things that were uploaded are illegal. How do you know where the line is?
I don't know if that clip of National Geographic has been uploaded illegally.
In my eyes the internet is for information, when companies try to monopolize and control/prevent me from getting information, they are out of line.
All just IMO
"Just now we are seeing this in PC and PSP gaming. Boxed retail on both these formats has been decimated."
You forgot to mention 360 and Wii in this gaming piracy list. But other then that not a bad read Bruce.
Not that I agree with you on the subject but nice read none the less.

LOL, awesome, just awesome!
Yeah, I should have said.
I didn't think Mesh could speak ANY English...
"First, the time span between Win98/2000/XP were only 2 years a piece. "
This is true but I'm sure you can see the minimal jump from even 98 to XP, compared to XP and Vista.
Win 98:
# 486DX-2/66 MHz or higher processor
# 16MB of RAM
# 500 MB free HDD
WinXP:
233 MHz
Memory 64 MB RAM1
HDD Space 1.5 GB or higher
Drives CD-ROM drive or DVD drive
2x the processor speed
4x the RAM
...
I just noticed thats 4x the processor speed.
8 times the RAM and 10 times the hard drive space.
You learn something new everyday =)
EDIT: Hey Chris.... Did you even READ my post? =)
If you look at the course of Windows upgrades most of them require a small jump in system requirements.....
Win 98:
# 486DX-2/66 MHz or higher processor
# 16MB of RAM
# 500 MB free HDD
Win2000:
Pentium processor of 133 MHz
32 MB of RAM,
700 MB of hard drive space,
CD-ROM drive.
WinXP:
233 MHz
Memory 64 MB RAM1
HDD Space 1.5 GB or higher
Drives CD-ROM drive or DVD drive
LOL, no need to show me how to setup a page file. I'm more then capable to do that thanks. I do work in the business.
I'm just confused with your definition of VRAM?
Because VRAM usually stands for Video RAM which like I said has to be much faster then a paging file. Hell its faster then regular RAM.
Are you referring to a page file as VRAM? If so, sorry, like I said I was confused with your term. But I do have to mention that a page file might be clas...
I'll pass on host advantage.
You really PWN when you host a game don't you?
If your not going to need Wifi for a console, the least you can do is add all of the patch cable you will need to wire your Xbox to your LAN.

+15 bucks
Not having to snake a line though 2 walls to get your PC to stream to your Xbox.

Add the 40 gig PS3 instead for 399.

Also nice argument with adding 2 sets of cables. /sarcasm.

$400 bucks for a quad core CPU? I can pick one up today for less then that. (Closer to $300)
In 2 years, quads are going to be in the $100 - $150 range.
I don't want to upgrade every 3 years. 2010 might be ok but I'd hope they would still support the 360 for a while after that.
I see the 360 as a games system.
I see the PS3 as an entertainment unit.
On the same note, other then getting the full deal with a game (being able to play the full online) What are the perks with having a HDD on an Xbox. Bum just kinda bummed me out with his information on the restrictions of the 360 HDD. Other then demo's/ arcade games
Yeah what?
I read about the an 1.5 update which was causing certain people trouble but I think blu-ray causing 80% of PS3 crashes is probably not true.
Mine froze due to the "news ticker" thingy. But no issues with old Blu.
"Nice of them to enhance the best motion sensing on the market"
I wouldn't brag about that. Considering they are upgrading the controls to make them more accurate, if you can say they were accurate yo begin with.
I have ALWAYS said that the Wii had bad, inaccurate controls and yet the fanboys always said that "Obvioulsy you've never played the Wii"
This proves that even Ninty thinks the controls are off.
