I agree. There is only one wired ISP in my area and that is Comcast. I'm in a Bermuda Triangle as far as phone infrastructure goes. While I live right in the middle of the city, I'm almost equidistant (and just out of range) from three separate call box hubs to get DSL. u-Verse has been "available" in my "area" for a couple of years now, but they have no clue when they will actually cover my location, yet the report lists them as an option for me.
I dunno... PS2 had SSX, which is still among the best snowboarding games out there, and, at launchtime of the PS2, it was quite "fresh". Perhaps one of these 360 games will end up similar to that, but it sure isn't going to be a yearly update of a sports game. Is there a reason they don't just release a game and update the player stats on a yearly basis?
The one reason I've never been able to go for a Mac is the total lack for support of the games I want to play. It's nice that they have a few token games supported, but when there's no support for certain MMORPG games (or you are playing on a separate undersupported server) it's not enough. World of Warcraft should be a good step, but it's probably not enough on its own.
Well, with a few of the right classes at level 50 you can crank out some cash to help equip them with optimal equipment. Of course that implies you have a few friends who will grind away for hours on end at earning cash after making your accelerated way to 50. Otherwise you need some extra accounts to play more characters at once by yourself (most people seem to feel the need to have a second account for a 'Buff Bot' anyway, much to the dismay of some others against the idea). But yes, as mentioned, after you got yourself "ready" for RvR you'd still be an "RvR newb" and on the recieving end more often than not compared to people of higher realm rank.
Couldn't the above story be considered entrapment on the part of the police since they seem to have never intended to pay but still require the results that incurred costs on his part? Obviously he'd eventually cut off the service since they weren't paying him.
At the basic level, I only buy games that I know I like or in a series that are now sentimental favorites of mine. The only EA games I think I have are 2 from the SSX snowboarding series for my PS2. I think if I had to name the publisher for most of my other games I'd score about 60% or so. I would have a better time remembering the developers. Anyway, if they (EA) release a bunch of stale games, people will look elsewhere. In the games market, there will always be an elsewhere.
Didn't see anyone else catch it, but the chart isn't totally accurate... I've been playing DVD's in my PS2 just fine without any special memory card utilities. I haven't tried playing one without my memory card in, but I don't see how that would make a difference.

I thought that was the one with the bugs in it?
