From the description, all I want, and all I'll ever want is Games 1.0. There is no compelling reason for me to upgrade to the latest gen of consoles whatsoever. I want a games appliance, nothing more.
Is it available in stores or mail order, to be shipped when the order is received?
No? It's vapor. Until consumers can do what is shown in the demo and commercials, it remains vapor. Are there prototypes, and is it going to be shipped? Yeah, probably. But until it finally does ship, it remains vapor.
So what the Poster is whining about is: "I walked into a bank and saw a bag of money on the ground. I took the money, but was arrested for Felony Theft. Why can they do this"
There was a sign that said "Free Money", and it was signed by the bank manager, with authority from his manager.

You can just sit down and do this for a half hour. That's pretty much how I've been playing it, in 20-30 minute stints.
More realistic as I meant it was more realistic by mathematic comparisons to a real object. Mathematically, it's been getting closer. But, the pattern detectors in the brain are magnifying the differences from expected. We're designed to detect differences from normal, it's a survival trait.

You do realize that MS does ship something like a 2MB XML anyway? It's not like they're doing much, if any trimming.
How much are those Burger King Games?
How much is Crackdown?
It could be completely free to write the code, and development costs would still be outrageous. Cut scenes, models, actors, motion cap...
A cert server and CRL server is reasonable. It needs to verify the signature before opening it.

Ethics. If you choose not to install something, it shouldn't do anything.
Long Shot is ready for departure
MS was going to discontinue Windows?
Right, They're in it for the artists
No. They're already losing $200+ on each PS3
Why can't you deny it? Constitutionally, you can't force it, since you're forcing association then, a violation of the First Amendment.
Hmmm. Look at those types...
Anticompetitive, Overambitious hype,Falls short of expectations, among others. Those fit right now.
Can this guy possibly spew any MORE bullshit?
Be careful, he'll take that as a challenge.

As of now, the iPhone is vaporware. Can't call the apps non-crappy until it ships.
What will net the most /. hits?
DMCA is irrelevant. This is patents, not copyrights.
It's going through Win32. Anything in kernel32.dll is Win32. You have to be using NTDLL to not be using Win32
The merchant gives the credit card company money.
To offset that, the prices are raised. So yes, the customer pays.

Actually, it is an issue.
As graphics get better, your brain gets less forgiving and it looks wrong. Worse graphics (too a point) will look better than more realistic graphics.
It definitely appeals to girls more than MOST games but that probably is just used as more of an excuse for husbands to spend money on the game.
And the game my wife is currently most looking forward to...
God of War 2.
Yeah, I really need an excuse for any games.
