You are (wrongly) assuming that every CD given away is a lost sale
Imagine that some company sells a CD with just one track, which is a bell ringing for 3 seconds, and they sell it at 3,000,000 $.. If I gave one away, would it be a 3,000,000 $ sale lost? No, because it wasn't going to be sold anyway...
I don't know why, but the windows computer at my job does the Copy with CONTROL + INSERT and the Paste with SHIFT + INSERT, weird, I know... It's Windows XP, I could change it if I wanted, but I've just get used to it, tho at home I use the common ctrl-c, ctrl-v....
5$ more for a better immersion feeling, sure, no problem with me, 5$ more to jump out of my seat every 20 seconds because a giant ball wants to come throught my head, no sorry
The game also shipped with a "CyberSniff 2000", a sheet of numbered scratch-and-sniff paper, corresponding to a number displayed on the screen at a certain location, so that the player could get a scent of what the area the player was in smelled like.
I loved the beans smell

Most new games are starting to include Depth of field features, last ones I've played being CoD:MW2 and PES 2010
The lobby and matchmaking service is pretty nice, allowing you to form a party and then look for games where you can play on the same team, a pity it doesn't work so well in practise. You're stuck with the problem that a large proportion of people leave as soon as they see several people bearing the same tag join the game meaning that you have to go through the matchmaking process several times. Then there's the more technical problem of the game sometimes leaving some players behind when the lobby joins or leaves a game.
Where is the need to all of you using the same tag?, just do as my friends and I do, use your usual nickname
When you actually get into a game, there's a small chance that the dynamically chosen "best" host will be terrible and have huge lag spikes. (This while we're all connected through the university JANET connection.) Eventually the game decides to migrate the host, everything stops, a new host is chosen and then the game continues. Then the host quits because his team is losing and we go the the "Choosing a new host" screen again, and again.
Which takes 5 seconds at most, YMMV, but in 40 hours of multiplayer gameplay, I had to leave the host TWICE because of having massive lag, and then, I was playing again in less than a minute
It's just apps released, I could release tomorrow three millions of "Find your ideal weight" and that wouldn't mean that Fitness apps were rocking the market...
Book apps are easy, fast and cheap to release, hence the massive release numbers, not any indication of a success
? I don't understand the last posts about SIMs being phone tied, because I have two phones (iPhone 3Gs and a Nokia N80) and one SIM card which I change between phones for weekends/trips etc etc
I don't know in your region, but in mine, 18 of the top25 health care apps are ideal weight calculators that do exactly the same, put your age, put your height, done

I get your point, but the clerk and the store didn't hand me a copy of Warcraft 3 for free

Looks like Matrix, as long as you believe it's real, IT IS REAL
So, for example, we'll have a secondary actor who plays the role of a big star who is also playing the role of an historical character...
If thats the future of Hollywood actors/movies, looks quite depressing....

That would be around 30 minutes of browsing...
Those nut allergic people should be forced to watch the movie Gattaca whilst flying and thank god that fiction hasn't become reality (yet)
AFAIK You need Bluray to provide HD (720p or whatever) over a physical media because of size

I'll enjoy my extra 10 pixels, thanks
These times you can download 1090p w/ dts sound bluray rips in less than an hour so... yes
How far could the spec be pushed using a decent CD-ROM laser. Could you squeeze 1GB out of a CD drive that was specked to 700MB before?
How about a DVD drive, could you make a 5.5GB single layer DVD disc?
I am curious to know...
I have bought a handful of 900MB CDRs
I'd like that all my relatives did that...
Well, I didn't need a phone with camera but I had no choice because they don't sell them without cameras anymore...
Biggest lie in ages
I used to play AGES ago Counter-Strike with a 128Kbps cable connection and I had around 40 ms of latency which was considered superb at those times...
Now I have 20 Mb (same ISP) and I have to "suffer" 100ms latency in CoD:MW2 : (
Jesus, it's a freaking game, I just want to shot things on my screen, I don't care if they are civilians, bad guys, chickens or dummies...

What's the point I'm missing?
