I thought they were useful on the ps2. I get a reasonable amount of use out of my eye toy and my logitech steering wheel/pedals. Now the i.Link was another story for me.
The widescreen presentation preserves the Original Aspect Ratio, and the way it was screened in the theater. The 4:3 would fill your tv, but the extra information *could* be detrimental to the film's contents. I posted this example somewhere else:
I was under the impression that theses films' 1.33:1 presentation used the full frame of the film, not pan and scan of the matted, and that the 1.85:1 presentation was correctly matted and framed. I thought that the lawsuit had to deal with MGM's suppliment explaining that the widescreen version had more visual information than the full frame (regardless of the correct information). I doubt that the avid online film community would have stood by as 300+ films were incorrectly framed; I mean a couple of shots in Back to the Future got messed up, and this was known before the dvd hit the street.
I would imagine that some of those images taken from magazines were exclusive. Everytime I go to a magazine stand there is some gaming magazine touting that they have exclusive images of game X. I don't think this is any different than if EGM scanned some images from a GamePro magazine and used it in print. Perhaps the magazines put some pressure on the companies to press charges.

I think that you are correct, but for some reason I hold Entroducing near and dear to my heart; I always recommend it as a starting point for getting people into shadow.
I agree with your marketability remarks. Most of the people that I have met, I live in atlanta, ga, have found shadow through word of mouth.
I guess I am suprised. I live in the south where country music and old rock rule the air waves. Heck, we just got an 80's pop music channel too.
I have really enjoyed all of shadow's releases, but I probably would have never been turned on to his music had it not been for some friends that were dj's in the local scene.
BTW - I'm kinda bummed I missed out on the Diminishing Returns Party Pak

If some has my Personal Identification Number Number, they may use it in an Automatic Teller Machine Machine.

It comes down to preference.

Look at the A Fish Called Wanda example.
The extra information ruins a gag in the film.
I try to get films in their original presentation form, but some directors, like Kubrick, prefer the 4:3 framing. The bottom line: preference.
I agree that if it was a hard matte, then for fullscreen it must either be further matted or P&S.
However, for the two presentations to have the same width lead me to believe that it was open matte.

While it's not a boom mic, this is a decent illustration of the importance of proper framing:

That's an excellent link.

Yub-yub!
I was taking a cursory look at the MythTv solution a while back, but I was curious as to how to get the hi def signal back to the TV?
It's true, when I worked at CompUSA in college, we made under two bucks of profit on the PS2, less than a buck on the xbox and cube.

I was not disagreeing with the parent, just trying to get another note worthy artist out in the light.
For that matter, check out Dj Shadow.
His first album: Entroducing, if i recall correctly was entirely made from samples.
I too would like to become a better gamer. To whom must I sacrifice my body to?
Any additional details would be greatly appreciated.

I chose for 4% to reflect my average growth on my investments for the past 3 years...there was nothing guaranteed =)
So what you're telling us is that over the past 3 years you have *loaned* several companies $1200, interest free.. and don't have a problem with that?
No. I think he was trying to say, in return for loaning those companies $1200, he has received discounts on goods and services.
Just suppose that he spent all of his money in year 1, and he could get a rate of 4.00% a month on this money, had he kept it:
Nominal Rate of Return: 4.00%
Investment Duration (Years): 3 years
Compounding Frequency: Monthly
Compounded Rate of Return: 12.73%
$1200 * 12.73% = $152.76 opportunity cost.
He obviously thought that $152.76 + $1500-$1200 = $452.76, was worth $1500 worth of goods and services.
i was thinking the exact same thing.
Except that many credit card companies offer "disposable" credit card numbers for online shopping, and recurring charges.
Microsoft makes killer pointing devices :^) ...because they're so used to pointing their fingers at others
I whole-heartedly disagree. We need more R+D effort...that way, I can get a raise!
