in part it is the way you say. In larger part it has to do with making it so you can barely ever spend exactly the amount you want (if you notice, rarely will something cost even close to what you have in your account. you almost always have 200 points left). The largest part though to justify points over dollars is that they don't need to worry about repricing things for every currency. All they have to do is figure out how much 500 points costs in each currency, and then they can just have ...
that almost all the physics examples were done on the 360. Shooting the palm trees down, blowing up the house, and the bridge falling down at the end.
there are some really dumb people disagreeing to some of the comments in this article...
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I will be following this closely.
because a lot of PS3 fans say that the 360 should be beating the PS3 anyway since it's cheaper whenever NPD comes out.
Microsoft has a good amount of exclusive franchises.
Halo, Gears of War, Forza, PGR, Oddworld, Kameo, Perfect Dark, Viva Pinata, N3, Fable, Banjo, Conker, etc.

googled "how does zcam work"
to say the least...
bring SSX to next gen consoles, then worry about iphone.
actually the only "pipes" needed are to transmit input and visuals. All the calculations are done on the server. I think the biggest problem comes from bankruptcy of the corporation, since you literally don't own any data. Games would have to be cheaper and for rent (or subscription), because if the company went under you have nothing tangible to show for it.
At least with DD you have the data somewhere in your possession. It might not be on a fixed medium, but at least...
I can't get the videos on either link to work in any of my browsers (chrome, firefox, or IE).
Let's say there are 100,000 people playing some really popular next gen game. Is On Live going to have 100,000 consoles running off site or something? And we already have trouble streaming hi-def content without any input.
I think it's coming eventually, I'm just curious how their going to do it now. I also think it'll be more along the lines of a personal server that you'd have at your home, then you stream from that server (where you'd have all your content stored. Media, games...
I hope they don't use it to replace the controller. It should support the controller and add functionality. Looks promising though.
I was never huge on motion controls, but I will wait and see how they use them.
Have you taken it apart? zcam is depth sensing. Eyetoy is not. I don't understand how you can assume that it is so similar to eyetoy when the tech is so different.
graphics isn't the same as art.
graphics most often refers to just the tech side of graphics. Higher poly models, visual effects, better textures, and lighting are examples of graphics. Art is art. They combine to make visuals.
is this not linked to the actual eurogamer site?
I don't know why anyone would get the $399 version if that's true.
for the $120 you can upgrade the 40 to a 320gb hd ($60 or so from some story here in the past 3 days) and get both the games in the other version. Essentially you end up paying $20 for an extra 240gb of space in your PS3 and get all the games in the 80gb version.
Seems like a slightly odd pricing strategy.
when you can drop it to $99?!
hell they could throw in 3 brand new titles. THEN SEE THOSE THINGS FLY OFF SHELVES...
/ridiculousness...
how do you really expect sony to drop the price and give away free stuff and still make a profit on a console that's only just making a profit already?
