@1.4 Regarding point A) upscaling. Thank-you, I didnt know BR would upscale DVDs.
They are going to *love* that!
"Rockstar, maker of the murder simulator Bully, has just released its latest edition of its controversial Cop-killing simulator, but with a new twist! This game will include in-game rewards and encouragemnet to drive drunk! Next up on Faux News is Jack Trenton, Video Game Industry Expert to discuss this latest assault on the moral fabric of the God fearing United States of America"
"without being force fed what they want you to believe"
This is what I call the "everyone's doing it" excuse for Fox News. It is simplly untrue that the other stations have a top-down agenda like Faux News.
I've heard far too many right-wing-nut-jobs defend Faux News by saying "CNN is just as bad but on the left!!1!". When I hear this, I just have to shake my head.
Try watching
When are they going to get credit? They'll get credit.
But is "credit" what they should get? Take off your PS3-fan and happy-to-have a BR for movies PS3-fan hat for a second.
Ok? Now listen:
HD-DVD has tangable benefits to you AS A CUSTOMER. For the non-gaming public, BlueRay is not as good a choice as HD-DVD.
HD-DVD offers these benefits:
A) HD-DVD players upscale your DVD library and make it worthwhile to keep....
Downloading now, will tell you what I think after.. going to play some Blue Dragon
I think we're learning something about the culture inside MS. They recognize that small dev houses do better outside larger organizations. This is just fine.
The development model for videogames is moving to model the dev. model for films very closely, and that business smarts and managment methods are on the East coast, they might be picking up some ideas.
Further, MGS is instead, doing deals with 3rd parties to cherry-pick the best projects. MGS can and does...
Here's a good page of STFU:

There is *all kinds* of great games for Xbox 360. That list BTW, doesnt have the sports games (you know, some people pick up a basketball, hockey, golf or football game every now and then...))
The Xbox 360 owners is already the biggest per-year game purchaser of the generation. How many games do you think people nee...
There is no impression that 2007 wont be a great year.
FFS, Lost Odyssey isnt even released yet. I'm still working through the 2007 games I already own, and there are many many must-have games for 2008.
Thi sis just off-handed talk. Xbox 360 will again be the premier console, and yes, I know that MGS4 & FF are big names. Im more than willing to forgo another FF and MGS for the opportunity to play the games available on Xbox 360 in 2008.
"I think ‘Banjo’ is going to be a big hit for us this holiday.”"
- Shane Kim == Me very happy.
Yeah Banjo!
Dont be silly. This industry is not a regional one, its global. And MS looses far less than it gains by not maintaining their Japan work.
Sure the user base is smaller than NIN or SNY, but its not as if they arent growing their user-base.
And, it needs to keep the market open for 3rd parties.
Tell us, how many people who work in the IT field do you know? In your years of analysis of the IT field, what previous examples of this do you know?
According to Fortune, The 100 Best Companies to Work For:
47. Microsoft

The SEC wouldnt look to kindly on the 80% player buying the 10% 2nd place player.
That is incredibly anti-competitive.
And, as a customer, I'm vastly more concerned that GOOG buys YHOO than if MSFT buys them.
It amazes me more and more why anyone thinks this isnt just about money.
Do you people honestly think that the professionals at YHOO are ignorant cheerleaders for your favorite brands?
Here's a parallel idea:
This forum are Fans, in the classic sense, like Sports Fans.
Do you people think that the players on Sport's Teasm actually dislike one-another just because the team they play on? No. They're all in the same industry. Many of them ha...

"They're obviously not lazy devs to anyone who did, "
It has nothing to do with *LAZY* anything. It has to do with Training, Education, Research, Development and Effort and time.
All those things have to do with BUDGETS. This is a business you know.
Did you read the whole article or just the cherry-picked passage above? See, if you read the article, you'll know that the title is correct, and reflects the intent of the artile.
What has happened, is the article has been cherry-picked to reflect the world-view of the submitter.
Read the whole thing, they mean to say that much R&D was required to reach an equal port of Xbox 360. So, the budget for the PS3 version will be higher, while remaining equal in pe...
What is that I smell? Astroturfing?
Look at this forum, full of "oh, yes, KZ had the best music"? Really... well, overall, the game got a metacritic score of 7.0 / 10.
7/10... Zzzzt. Snore.
The hardware issues were already resolved. New units have a new motherboard to fix the heat issue.
Stop pretending otherwise. The machines that have heat failure are the MBv1.0 units.
That's funny. Its good that they can show themselves as normal people, joking around.
Good on 'em.
