...for me and my HT it's the best and only option. While everyone else bickers about this I'll be enjoying dozens and dozens of movies in 1080p with lossless audio while everyone is watching compressed video with DD over cable.
In 5 years, when a better solution comes along, I'll have been satisfied in the meantime with BluRay.

This ad really sums up the PC world for me...it's not just a trendy looking peripheral that you can tote around to various Starbucks to appear young and hip. Like Linux, it's used by a wide variety of individuals and professionals for an equally wide range of tasks...one of which is NOT looking hip and cool!;)
...that Tim Sweeney is a god! Ever since I first saw a pic of unreal in the early 90's I've kept an eye on his career and his brilliance never ceases to amaze me.
Another quality interview with him where he demonstrates unparalleled insight into graphics. He and Carmack should combine forces and produce the definitive game engine.
Then give it to Valve and let them add their brilliant gameplay!
Why are their computers even accessible via the Internet during execution? They should disable any access to the Internet during execution and re-enable it when finished. It's hard to hack into a network that isn't even on the Internet to begin with.
...how everyone in this thread has tried to belittle this since separate processes have been around for decades. Well if its so obvious then why is in in 2008 we're finally seeing this in browsers? We're all of you complaining about the absence of this feature every year prior to this since Tabs first debuted?

..my launch day 360 finally succumbed to the Red Ring of Death so Spore and STALKER Clear Sky will fill the gaming void that my 360 has left behind while it gets replaced/repaired/refurbished.
I'm not too concerned over the DRM. I'm not one of these black and white guys that is against it in principle. DRM has its use and I understand why companies like EA choose to use it. It doesn't cost me anything or inhibit me from playing so why should I care? I'm gonna buy this game based on the merits of its gameplay and from the sound of it the game is pretty unique.
David, your silliness will be forever immortalized in my blog. Your poor logic and stubbornness are just more proof as to how it's possible for someone like Bush to get elected (or Obamaa come Nov).
I created this to commemorate your FAIL. Good luck continuing to rationalize to yourself how a game can let you move forward and up those stairs without being considered 3D.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me get this straight...you say "meh" to everything and then get a "5 Interesting" rating????
Wow...your post could have consisted of "Linux is teh bestest evar" and it would have told us the same thing.
This forum is a joke (eagerly looks forward to more negative points for pointing out how biased this craphole is)
...noone has blamed Bush in this thread so far.
Cue douchebags insulting those that will point out the obvious and relevant fact that this it is still a beta.
Ubuntu might be faster but it doesn't run 90% of the apps I use...color me unimpressed.
...because another idiot is declaring PC gaming dead.
Funny...I don't recall suggesting otherwise.
Reading comprehension for the win.
already does this. It's called Hibernate and when it takes seconds to get Vista back up and running.
Someone should mod this guy a troll or flamebait. What a worthless first post for this article.

...and the recent recognition of Sharia Law, the UK is shaping up to be quite the place to live these days.

My two cents
...we suffer from depression more. Wouldn't you if you had to deal with the constant delays, vaporware, console wars, exclusives, etc???
Gaming is serious business and takes a toll on the senses. I routinely play with a box of Kleenex nearby.
...by the Japanese who snapped 5 pieces of construction equipment together to form Devastator!!!
...will work in my Mac Pro that already has dual quad cores.
I'm focusing on multicore programming in graduate school and the more cores the better for what I'm doing. Call me a core whore if you want to! ;)

Keep in mind that not everyone is SOLELY motivated by their wallets. Some of us want more fuel efficient cars to lessen our dependence on foreign oil.
A 65mpg car is a nice step in that direction regardless of whether I have to pay 10 cents more per gallon. That turns out to be like $1.50 more.
My 1 year old notebook still plays all of the current games.
You're living in the past my friend.
Which is funny because this was actually imported to the US from your country/continent.

...GreenPeace launch their intergalactic spaceship to intercept NASA in orbit and all of the zero-g protesters.
HHAHAHHAHA!!
I was modded flamebait for making a legitimate observation about others who were essentially trolling with their unchecked cynicism.
I love this site...I really do. The few times I've been given negative mod points is whenever I call out others for being biased, cynical, etc.
Hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
