midicolorians!... and it's not because I feel the crushing defeat of never again being able to pirate an Ubisoft title. Because lets face it, the protection will either be patched out OR an auth emulator will be written. Then it's left to Ubisofts pointy haired bosses to try to scheme something even more sinister to visit upon their paying customers.
Great to see that Ubisoft continues the time honoured tradition of screwing over the actual customers. Who ever thought they could make a system even more obnoxious than the code wheel? I'm not going to ask for permission to play my games so blow it out your posterior Ubisoft.
Seriously, if you start to break down the worth of a game to $/h you might as well take a stab at the exciting & noble art of accountancy.... and by that logic it's PRICELESS to pirate a game.
A real country with hair on it's chest wouldn't extradite any of it's citizens for something like this.
Put him to trial yourself instead of giving the Americans a political blowjob. Tony Blair isn't in office any longer, you can stop kissing USofA's ass now.
Back when we had the massacre at Columbine high school in '99, media jumped on the fact that both guys played Doom and Quake. Imagine the shitstorm if in one or two years something similar happens again and the cops find copies of Modern Warfare 2 in their 360 games collections. M rating be damned, we all know that MW2 will find its way into the hands of millions of impressionable emo tweens and teens.
Can we please have some consumer awareness so that they learn the rating on the box is there for a reason? I once had to talk a mother out of buying GTA IV for her 11yo son for crying out loud.
Stupid casual gamers and their dumbing down! Rarrrrgh!
If you can't operate a modern gamepad you might as well start doing crossword puzzles and reading the obituaries instead.
My main beef with Home is the fact that the average real-life looking avatar seems to be a hip 20 something with a slim athletic build and angsty haircuts (what Sony probably believes is their main demographic).
I'm not some fat dork but I'm close to 35 so I really having problems connecting with the avatar. Meeting up with pals in Home would be ridiculous when everyone looks like someone fresh from college. Miis and the new Live avatars while a lot more simple offer a better way to create a good caricature of yourself.
Sony should watch and learn.
Well, It *IS* The Register but lets play along.
What's the Statute of limitations on this kind of stuff? Surely it must be shorter than 700 years.... and it's not like the common man today believes they were a bunch of hedonistic Baphomet worshippers anyway.
Looks like they're in a hurry to get to the "paid beta" stage asap. Whomever handles their finances is probably riding their ass because they're not cashing in already.
Delaying the release would probably not hurt the general goodwill towards the game, but releasing it this early and they'll be the next major laughing stock since Vanguard.
Sweden has this history of collecting intel and supplying USA/NATO with information in exchange for protection in the event of a war.
I believe this snooping law is simply required to hold their end of a bargain. One that dates from the 50's or so. But given the development of the internet the past decade, they need to focus on new ways to gather information. Which might be encouraged or even demanded by some outside party.
Remember late 70's and early 80's when all those faceless corporations went to court because Sony produced a VCR capable of recording content.
Funny how things change eh, now they go back to back with their former enemies trying to restrict our right to record content.
If they want to connect with todays generation they should fund a new Spitting Image series. At least people could name politicians during the years it was on the air.

Socialism taboo? Above post is confusing wishful thinking with reality.

You miss the point. I'm a man.

I seem to recall a similar article elsewhere last time they released a batman movie. Quite sad actually.
Perhaps the gun was new and had the factory setting on KPH. That would almost make sense. 62 KPH = 38.5 MPH
... you're a fanboy and ought to feel bad about it. This is good example of excellent business sense on the behalf of SquareEnix.

Careful mentioning the square, we don't want the CCP filtering away slashdot for our Chinese nerd brothers and sisters.
Well... The prospect of Neko catgirls isn't that bad, or is it? God needs something to punish anyway.
Not to mention, people look at you funny if you wear shoes indoors.
