Honestly, we don't really use our PS3 for gaming too much. We own 5 disc-based games for it, and have downloaded three from the PSN (compared to about 15 for the Wii with countless downloads, and about 30 for the 360 with countless downloads).
No, our PS3 is used primarily as a media center. It's a decent gaming machine, but it's a fantastic media center. Of course, TVersity puts the 360 and the PS3 on equal footing in regards to media, but using just the consoles themselves, the PS3 is vastly superior for home theater purposes.
The implications of a bendable display are huge, but I think something people don't address enough is durability. I don't mean "this display can be rolled up in a pringles can and still function!", I mean from a puncture and general jostling around perspective. People expect these displays to be paper thin...but what kind of material are these displays being sandwiched in between to ensure that they stay safe?
So tell me how my post in this story, in which I link to Kotaku explaining how Sony fucked over a well-liked privately owned importer that Sony used for its own executives, adds nothing to the discussion.
The story is about Sony halting sales. I posted a link to another story (again, on Kotaku) about Sony halting sales. I fail to see how that is irrelevant.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll do that sometime this weekend. I've been meaning to get myself on Pandora as well, so I'll probably do that at the same time.
Only one part of your post I want to respond to, troll:
being forced to play a 20 dollar keyboard from Walmart.
I use a legit copy of Reason 4.0.1 for software (gonna get Reason 5 soon soon soon) and an M-Audio Axiom 25 for my MIDI controller. I also use a set of Audio Technia ATH-AD700s and a Sony MDR-7506 for creating my stuff.
I still buy your consoles and games beause I enjoy them...I can't escape that. However, I will NEVER forgive you for what you did to Lik Sang. You will forever be bastards because of that.
I'm saying that if you're willing to show people being killed, you should be willing to show people being fucked. Personally, I don't care what they do because we don't watch TV (we don't even have TV service...Netflix is all we need), but my own opinion is that sex is much less harmful to show than violence. Besides, look at most commercials and/or music videos...or reality shows...or just about everywhere else. Sex is EVERWHERE...it's just nudity that stays hidden. That's stupid.
I still can't believe that you can show autopsies, murder, drug deals, and all the horrible things shown on the news...but if you show a titty, you face a big fine.::head shake::
USB 2.0-based hard drives are a bit slow, as are USB 2.0-based flash drives. With the bandwith of USB 3.0 far exceeding the max throughput of today's (and tomorrow's) storage, it ensures that the standard has a longer life.
Wanna make them fly right? Tell them "trillions of particles are zinging through your body right now...and they're in nice mode. Next time you act up, they're gonna switch over to "cutting" mode!"

Fair enough.
Now that they can make pixels so small that they can only be singled out from distances closer than my eyes can focus
You answered your own question. Lay them down on transparent material, put that on a pair of glasses, and Bob's your uncle.

Sure, I'll sign up on there too. Screw it, I'll just dedicate a day to signing up for various streaming services.
My primary goal is to one day get my stuff on the regular playlist on bluemars.org...that would be so freakin' amazing.

Hardly Walmart quality.
Will do!

Oh, and guess what? I buy all your games USED.
Many people (including myself, hint hint) wish that their work was popular enough to show up on torrent networks.
You aren't anyone unless your stuff is available in a torrent.
I'm totally going to use that...awesome :-)
Fucking script kiddies...in MY day, we actually HACKED.
Wait, I was born in '84...
Her nipple wasn't even exposed. I believe she was wearing a pasty.
her nipple was most certainly exposed. She wasn't wearing a pasty, it was a nipple shield...and a really high-quality one, too!
OH SHIT!!!
wait....

When people say America is a "christian nation", I believe this is what they're referring to...

Change your tampon. Sheesh.

Sorry, everyone... -_-;;
