you dont seem to understand that about 70% of households do not have a hdtv. that entire arguement is moot. my wii is hooked up thru an rf modulator still. not everyone has the kind of cash for the newest hardware(consoles) and displays to keep up with their shinyness. what it comes down to is gameplay and fun. sure the ps3 is real slick hardware, but i cant afford one, and i dont really see more than a handful of games i'd really be interested in. the 360... well its a m$ product and i wouldnt play it if you gave me one, the controller is awkward and they charge you to play online. sure they have a bunch of great titles but 70% of those have pc versions, which is always the best platform. if someone would/could settle on a good hardware system for the consoles then there would be a no-brainer must have. but using the special chips they produce for these things like they are now is crazy costly. they(360) might have had it right this time around, if they didnt take cost cutting measures and put out crap hardware. the ideal console would be 100% backwards compatible because it is just updated hardware to the previous generation, like gc/wii. instead of spending millions making some weird propriety code/chip every 7-8years upgrading a building ontop of what you have would keep costs down and the players happy. but what do i know ive only been gaming for 24 of my 26years on earth.
why m$ and sony think their rabid consumers would go for motion control, i havent a clue. wouldnt those people already own a wii?
this may have worked when the 360 first came out to compete wit wii, but as of now i dont really think the installed 360 userbase has any want for this. if they wanted motion control wouldnt they buy a wii? sure its a cool technology but i dont forsee the gamerscore whores actually getting up and doing motion control, too much effort. i have a wii and a pc for gaming, perhaps if m$ didnt charge to play games online i would have a 360, and i wouldnt be intrested in motion control.
Before the new Star Trek came out i seriously cannot say what the last movie I saw in a theater was. I can certainly say in that time I've spent more money on video games then movies. This is mostly due to lack of quality content coming out of hollywood. What it comes down to is value for you buck. The new S.Trek was worth it to me but I would defiantly get more entertainment out of buying a new video game with that 30 dollars spent on an evening to the theater. Just like so many shovelware video games, movies are no diffrent, it's up to hollywood to decide which content is crap and which they want to sink cash into in order to turn a profit. Either way both hollywood and video game industry is turning billions in profit, so why should they bitch, nobody else is making that kind of money on poor product.
http://aa3.americasarmy.com/ - AA3 is the most authentic military game ever. We don't just say "every detail counts" because it sounds good. We mean it and Army Experts checked every aspect of the game to ensure it's as authentic as possible -- from weapons to sounds to player movement.
maybe it has to do with competing in the same game market as the us army? I've played america's army since 2004 it is both fun and entertaining. this game would be able to take off if they simply called it 'desert battle sim' instead of trying to pull actual battles from RL. I must say it is a neet idea but dumb, considering its exactly what AA3 is doing.
this is the price, when you pay m$ to get into the stupid lobby with their stupid kids with their stupid achievements. I was completely unaware of this system having never used a m$360 and it sounds like perfect food for the idiots who pay m$ to play online.
whos to say m$ isnt the "hacker" perhaps they are unveiling a new flightsim version with all the community work in the product, claiming its all theirs. i'm sure the flightgear and x-plane community has its servers locked down and someone has offline copy.
Obama put out a paper saying that the DEA will NOT raid anymore medical marijuana distributors/growers, actually upholding a states rights. So unless you papers arent in order you will not be raided by the DEA.
and you fail to state the reasons, really i'd like to hear them. i dont see A direct benefit of sending people to space. becides the underwater pressurized ink-pens.
i really think its strange that nobody else thinks NASA is a huge waste of money and should be a private company. rather then fixing the problem of what to do with deadly nuclear waste we'd rather the billions of dollars in space flight? its not like it has done us any good, why not fund to send the nuclear waste into space... theres nobody up there and never will be. other than that i really dont see a reason to be doing so, unless pissing away tax dollars is a concern, in that case GO NASA =P
i for one have played America's Army for years, and i would love to play in the vehicles and huge screens with other ppl! sure its a recruitment tool but take it for what it is, a great team-based shooter.
i havent a clue why anyone would use a wireless anything on their desktop system, as if the monitor cable dosent exist. between the lag and battery sucking it just dosent make any sense to me. from your post it sounds as if you dont have any BT devices as of now, so i would go with usb mini dongle instead of opening your system up to bluetooth. i could definatly see problems with all kinds of BT phones earpieces and whatnot around, but if your stationary get a wire.
anyone who has the homebrew channel and system menu 3.4 can install DVDX which opens the drive up for dvd playback. the homebrew channel also has a version of mplay to play movies from SD card. so yes its highly advisable you use the twilight hack before updating.
Wouldnt it be the children teaching the adults to use twitter/facebook/podcasts??? ive been online since 1994 and i still have not found I need these "social" tools for anything at all, let alone figure out their pourpose.
the upcoming nintendo DSi has a built-in browser, touch screen keyboard, SDHC, and ability to play games. and at 170$ is much cheaper then an i* or a silly phone.
i was scrolling and scrolling and nobody mentioned the eeepc packages they just added to debian5.0. alot of u wanks need to get off the ubuntu bullshit and use the real OS they raped to make their GUI-suckfest.
see this dude knows whats up. apply this to the US by selling cannabis in liquor stores at pretty much any price, we can get out of national debt. and then we wouldnt have to bail-out the junk food industry =D

even they made some kinda half assed attempt to weed out the bad, unlike most of the crap put through theaters.

with part of UT team doing it up at least it wont feel 'tacked on.'
i was thinking more along the lines of one time use rockets, new designs less failure, as it was said... straight to the moon!

like blackle.com ??? =D
not that ive used windows, or an ATI, but i hear the drivers are equally shitty on both OS.
