I'd buy these games if I didn't have to spend hundreds to get the peripherals for them. Yeah, I've played using a PS3 controller, but this is really their downfall. Each new version of Rock Band and Guitar Hero gets more outrageous. I've been a drummer, I wasn't so hot at it, but I do know that any sort of skills you develop with these games are pointless for playing actual music and it doesn't matter how advanced these games get. They are just money pits.
Thanks... I've used a some sort of newer gameboy once and didn't realize they really changed so much. Just thought it was like new color cases or something.
Ya know, to be honest, I don't find any added value between the revisions of either devices that you mentioned. I just think it was bizarre to choose the price point as the straw that broke the camel's back. Breaking the accessory compatibility (of official ones) and games really is fucked.
Your post definitely makes my top 10 worst list. There are plenty of things on the web (that's what you meant, by Internet, right? Cause I don't think port 53 carries many top 10 lists) that are not lists. You're just visiting the places that are crap (and linked to by/.).
It's a book, not a 2000 year old relic. If it is is a 200 year old book, a 2 week old one with the same copy is just as good. The story is the value, not the medium.
You're, right, it is licensing. But, what's the difference between allowing 1, or 15 for you area, download it versus allowing everyone to when it has the time restriction? Over time the readers who want to read it will get it. I'm torn between thinking that all the publishers are doing is limiting excitement about their titles and that they are trying to make sure they are profitable. I don't have the answer, but it could be improved. They aren't losing a sale, just losing my interest, I'll go borrow something else and forget that I wanted to read their title.
I can download ebooks and audio books from my county library, but they use DRM and can only lend out one copy at a time. Really turns me off to the whole medium. I can see letting Joe User only lend it once at a time, but having waiting lists for a digital edition at a library is just ridiculous... They may own 15 physical copies of a book, but have bizarre restrictions on the digital version.

How much does steering wheel cost you? $40?

I hate to tell you, but SBC is AT&T again...
It hasn't changed, CDMA doesn't use SIMs.
If you can figure out how to poke a page instead of a profile, more power to you.
And most people in the world don't give a fuck about either.
It's a page, not a profile.
I don't have Facebook, but as far as I know, Pages cannot join groups, only Profiles can.

So it's okay to constantly refresh models at the $100 price point, but not at the $200?
Read the first half of the post.
ummm.... kin* would be greedy enough to delete kinect too.
woosh
Well you could read page two if you hadn't read page one.
TFS is half of the linked article, which is a summary of an unnamed Joystiq story. One found here http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/28/psa-got-a-kinect-game-early-dont-stick-it-in/
Self-service hardly invalidates the idea of serving prepared food. You don't call buffets or fast food places restaurants?

No I don't, however, I do that wiith the physical books that I buy from Amazon.
What the heck is a recalled book? Does it explode without warning?

That's a pretty great idea. I usually don't read books again after my initial read, so the ability to gift, trade or sell them appeals to me.
