I think they're looking to a consumer-focused portable device. Like a Windows Mobile Smartphone, but not centered around enterprise-class productivity, but modern all-in-one portable.
The HipTop does this well.
The "Prime Minister" is a corporate sellout, and if Canadians arenet careful, we are going to end up with a DMCA-like.
The DMCA is actually the local law for to implement a WIPO treaty.

Of note for those who dont know, the WIPO is a UN sanctioned organization, but has been totally undermined by the MPAA and RIAA membership, the MPAA / RIAA is writi...

On what planet did that happen? Please provide a reputable source.

Motherboard 1.1 appeared in the Elite, and new HDMI enabled boxes have HDMI. Thats been over half a year.

"Live is the user generated content."
What is this UGC on PSN? Where is it? Even though it was promised, UT3 Epic and/or Sony werent ready for user-generated mods at launch. So, where is this UGC?
Whereas, on the Xbox 360, I can create my own cars & auction them on the web in Forza 2. I can create Mods in Forge and share them in Halo 3.
So, where is this PSN advantage in UGC? Maybe when LBP ships we can talk a...
If they do make a GI Joe game, for the love of the FSM, dont make it a green/gray 3D shooter.
How about an over-the-top cartoon-quality colourful 3rd person shooter. IN an art style like Hail to the Chimp.
Dude, Sprint uses Windows Mobile as a platform for their own "user-offering".
My Pantech Duo from AT&T is not butchered like Sprint phones.
If you want to complain to someone, talk to Sprint, not MS. In fact, I hope MS does release the HipTop themselves, the American Cellphone market has been a barrier to proper innovation in the cellphone space, and Sprint is a classic example of it.
They tie the phone's up to their pay-for-play mon...
Which makes for a most interesting idea.
MSFT just bought a lot of intellectual property that may have been stolen from Danger / Hiptop by this founder.
MSFT might have just done an end-run on Android.
I dont think any serious, sober person thinks that. Look, on the same level, PS3 is shooter-centric. R&C, Uncharted and Resistance are shooters. Mass Effect, BioShock and, say Rez HD are shooters.
Most games are shooters in some sense. Even games like Oblivion, Fable and Folklore have "shooting" but, with magic and a sword.
The fact is that outside of sports games, very very very few games dont have some sort of mechanism or analogue for shootin...
A little blast from the past.
"BK with a 360 pad would be quite awkwards "
Huh? No one has played the game yet -- or even seen a stitch of gameplay. How do you know how its going to be controlled? or feel with the Xbox 360 controller?
The basics of controlling 3D games is pretty established. Look with one stick, move with another stick. Press buttons. And, the ergonomics of this:
Irrational much? They are a business, there are budgets and contracts and licensing.
Valve loves money - like every other player in the videogame business.
These decisions arent made with emotion.
Yeah, i agree, Google's monopoly in ad-sales and search is a very bad thing...
MS offered them a better than fair price.
I agree. It is unfortunate, It looks to me that YHOO is banking on them making a better offer.
I hope they simply bury them instead of buying them. $44B is a lot of opportunity.
The home-console industry isnt going to switch from its 25 years of standard practice for no reason.
The financial model is probably more stable than we all realize. These industry analysts and executives arent running hundreds of million of dollar businesses without industry knowledge, research and marketing studies and and and and.
This forum is amusing. Whoever devised the goddamn headline is a mental midget.
This is really two questions;
A) Are they working on PS4 and Xbox 720. Of course they are.
B) When will they ship them? In line with the budgets, accounting that were set at the time they released PS3 & Xbox 360.
These are massive undertakings. They dont turn then on and off in a few days.
Why exactly?
Its a terrific product, it looks good, has many features its competitors lack and the software is great (both the PC & the firmware).
It sounds like you're being irrational to me.
