Delayed due to feature-creep. Looks awesome. Photo-realistic. Not the stupid marketing version of photo-realistic you've heard of so many times. Photo-realistic.
GT Prologue is supposed to come out in early 2008.
Also, even God of War only sold 2.8 million according to your VGChartz. Not 10 million. Are you trying to tell me a God of War 3 for PS3 wouldn't sell consoles if it came out in November? (It isn't coming out in November.)
I didn't forget it. It didn't say it would be released in 2007. The guy was asking about games before X-mas. After X-mas there are lots of cool games too:
Grand Turismo Killzone 2 Metal Gear Solid 4 LittleBigPlanet
Because no one buys a console to play non-exclusive games?
Someone who wants to buy Call of Duty 4 is going to need a console. They have 2 console choices. They need to decide what else they want to play, how much they want to pay, and whether they want to risk red-ring-of-death issues.
Lair Heavenly Sword Ratchet and Clank Future Call of Duty 4 (cross platform) Warhawk Home (not exactly a game) SingStar (will sell in Europe) Assassin's Creed (cross platform) Haze Half Life 2 Orange Box (cross platform) Rock Band (cross platform) Guitar Hero 3 (cross platform) Unreal Tournament 3 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Devil May Cry 4 (cross platform ?) and some sports games
that's a pretty good list of highlights. Some will probably end up being delayed.
Professionals are... subject to different, far more stringent requirements.
Good thing too. Otherwise just anyone could drive boxes from a warehouse to a store or give people rides in their car. Clearly strict licensing requirements are needed for these "professions".
GP said society required a driver's license, That's wrong.
Society doesn't require every individual to have a driver's license. The point is, even if one individual can get away without having such a license, he's merely shifting society's license requirement to others around him. The requirement is still there and he's not really free from it.
I am currently sitting next to a gentleman who has never had a driver's license, and has never owned a car. He seems to have made it just fine.
His food isn't delivered to the store by a licensed driver driving a truck? He doesn't need a licensed driver to be transported from place to place?
Shifting the requirement to your neighbors doesn't significantly change the facts. Travel and transportation of supplies inside the border ought not require government permission.
So it's OK to read the license plates, but it's wrong to remember them?
You're essentially saying "I applaud your building this machine. It was wrong, however, to turn it ON."
If you have the freedom to drive anonymously, then the plates and the driver's licenses have to go. Otherwise, you don't have the freedom to drive anonymously. Period.
Everything else is "I wish they'd only monitor us on Mondays and Wednesdays." Or "I wish they'd only monitor the black folks." You've given up the principle and are arguing about enforcement preferences -- trying to tailor them to suit your own habits.
The ACLU is wrong in this case. They're complaining about a technology that is an inevitable result of requiring vehicle licenses and driver's licenses.
If they can make you have a license plate, then they can read it. You people lost this battle a long time ago.
If only there were a report that warned against "well-meaning" acts to force people to do (or not do) things against their will in general. That would be cool.
Forcing people to act against their own interests is bad in general. Especially when it's sold as "well-meaning". Censorship is no exception.
Civil liberties groups weren't invited. Boo hoo. I wasn't invited either. Maybe they need to lookup the meaning of the word "invited". If you need an invitation to go someplace, you aren't "entitled" to go.
No one elected these "civil liberties groups". They aren't owed any special input on policy. They should get the same input as the rest of us get.
(The Senate should stop being so extremely stupid though. It's been chock full of fools for as long as I can remember. Why do people keep voting those old fossils back there?)
By "exploitation" do you mean a situation where I voluntarily go into a store and buy something -- perhaps a book -- and pay for it? I wanted the book more than the money, and the store owner wanted the money more than the book, so after the transaction both the store owner and I consider ourselves better off. Is that the kind of "exploitation" you mean?
That's the commercial relationship I have with people and corporations, including my employer. Should I feel commercially exploited by them? Should I count myself guilty of exploiting them in return?
Yeah, my Internet service provider commercially exploits me every month. What a ripoff. I get high-speed Internet and they want to get paid for it!!?!?
Why would anyone in Africa want that? High speed internet -- who needs it! Someone might make some money by providing it to people. Money! They should work for love! They should make fiber optic cables out of their own altruism and power the routers with the self-satisfaction they get from doing good.
What evil thing will those exploiters do next? Commercially exploit hunger by selling good, healthy food at a small profit? Better to starve than allow such exploitation!
It's not like people from the EU get offended and complain about meaningless phrases mentioning Airbus. It's not like EU folks are sitting at their computers, anxious to call anyone xenophobic with no good reason. It's a good thing no one in the EU is like that, because it's really annoying.
If you're really worried about a plane crash, I suggest staying home. Maybe don't get out of bed at all.
Watching and reading the news is your real problem. Things that happen on the news are extremely unlikely to happen to you. That's why you never see headlines like "Jill Larson Goes to the Market. Buys Coffee. (Subtitle: Coffee purchase exceeds analysts' expectations by 100%)"
That's all. I have to go to the market. But I'm not buying coffee, so no commercial airliners will crash today.
Actually, the bias is that I looked for articles on Google News to link to, and nothing popped up from the NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, the BBC, or any of the left-wing blogs.
Maybe they were down a few pages in the results. But it certainly seemed like bias.
The PS2 worked on your old TV. The PS3 does too, but you might as well buy a PS2 if you're running on old TV -- or wait on consoles altogether and save your money for a new TV.
If there were as many HDTVs now as there were SDTVs when the PS2 was released, the PS3 would probably have sold as well as the PS2.

No I didn't. It's not definitely scheduled for a 2007 release. I was replying to a post talking about games release before X-mas.

It comes out for PC too. But it should still sell consoles.
COD3 was Yet Another WWII shooter.
COD4: Modern Warfare was Best Action Game at Mini E3 this year. It looks absolutely amazing.
I didn't forget it. It didn't say it would be released in 2007. The guy was asking about games before X-mas. After X-mas there are lots of cool games too:
Grand Turismo
Killzone 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Many more. But all 4 of those should be huge.

You are technically correct though.
I am currently sitting next to a gentleman who has never had a driver's license, and has never owned a car. He seems to have made it just fine.
His food isn't delivered to the store by a licensed driver driving a truck? He doesn't need a licensed driver to be transported from place to place?

Add this to:
- McCain-Feingold censoring of political speech that criticizes incumbent politicians before elections.
- Reinstitution of the fairness doctrine to censor all "controversial" broadcasts
- Opening the door for terrorists to sue ordinary citizens who say "I saw something suspicious" to security personnel
- PBS censors film for not being sensitive to radical "insurgents" who threaten folks who argue for moderation
- Don Imus shut up by Al Sharpton's forces
- Numerous incidents on college campuses
Free speech is too important. It needs to be protected and the Supreme Court isn't doing an adequate job (see the McCain-Feingold decision).
And in response, General Dynamics developed a cloud-powered submarine.
The irony wars have just been joined!
