If there was ONE cliche story I'd like permanently removed from slashdot, it'd be these "XXX beats previous wireless record by X meters" stories that seem to pop up every 2 minutes.
Nobody fucking cares. It's a total waste of my fucking time and this shit only belongs in the crappy blog of whatever unoriginal loser just beat the "record".

I am. Then again, I have vowed to buy all systems since the dreamcast came out so that doesn't really mean much.
All this noise about different versions of the xbox360 is bullshit. What you buy on launch day is what games will be coded for throughout the life of the console. That's *ALL* that matters. Ayone who can't see that is a moron...
Because the niponese call their country "Nipon", not japan. Japan is just a weird bastardisation of "Nipon", just like Morocco is a bastardisation of Maghreb.
my Bloke Club membership will almost certainly be revoked now, and I will unable to discuss football down the pub any more, because I'm obviously really a big girl's blouse.
The chip would have to be writeable if it's to be used as a medical history. Medical histories are not static afterall. Otherwise, it will just be an improved version of those silver bracelets people allergic to certain substances wear (allergy to peniciline for example).
If the chip is writeable (and I don't think RFIDs are) then there is always the possibility of someone unauthorized writing on it and potentially causing havoc.
"Tadaaa! you're no longer allergic to peniciline fucker! HAHAHAHA"
"You need insulin. Lots of it:D"
"You have a very bad heart. Guess nobody'll operate on you now. muhuhuwahaha"
These are but a few of the very harmful (and no doubt, sometimes deadly) things people could do to you if they break the code.
Some people are easily amazed. For the sake of boredom, I'll try to spell it out for you:
I spend hard-earned cash on a $300 PS2 when it comes out.
I expect said PS2 to keep working for 5-6 years until the PS3 comes out. Why?
If the PS2 stops working before that time through no fault of my own (No pouring water on it, dropping it from the first floor, kicking it when I get angry, etc.) I consider it fair to receive an exchange at no cost to me.
I do not care if the warranty is only 1 year on it. I do not care if I'm supposed to to Pay $20 for shipping it back and an extra $75 to have it repaired and sent back to me.
Similarly, I don't care about the surreal restrictions the eula of a game or software says I agree to when I press the "Accept" button.
I also don't agree with the laws that say I don't have the right to smoke marijuana.
I have my own working moral compass and common sense and I tend to follow them instead of whatever regulations are in place. That's what the abolitionists did, that what the founding fathers did.
And You're a holier-than-thou fuck. The guy fucking exchanges defective products , he doesn't steal DICK you brainwashed piece of shit.
Get this straight: Just because a store pull a greedy and hostile return policy out of their asses because of some ACTUAL SCAMMERS doesn't mean it's the fucking bible. Honest Joe Customer should NOT have to get shafted by bullshit 1-year warranties , Shipping fees and weeks of waiting for a replacement.
If my PS2 breaks through no fault of my own, I'll do the old walmart switch-e-roo and get myself a new one. If walmart gets annoyed enough, they can always discontinue Sony products or pass the defective items on to them or whatever. Sony's fault for manufacturing products out of confettis.
It's the closest I have to not eat shit from them and by God, I'll keep doing it as long as I can.
To sum it up:
Can't use your old ps1/ps2 saves without hokey pokey. Nobody cares. Almost nobody uses backward compatibility as it is.
No old peripherals supported. Nobody cares. there'll be adapters for the few who need them.
Specs aren't set in stone. Ok, that's nice. Let's hope what they add is more than what they will inevitably cut (router functionality anyone?)
HDD won't be for games. Duh! else it'd be bundled with the console.
HDD mp3 bla bla hub bla bla photos bla bla movies bla bla share bla bla tivo bla bla psp bla bla. This is just a bunch of marketspeak bullshit. None of those functions will be used by anyone. The alternatives available to us will far surpass what the ps3 can offer. 80 gb HD? don't make me laugh...
720p to be the resolution of choice. Again: Duh! 720p offers 60 fps instead of the 1080i's 30 fps. Games are definitely 720p territory. As far as 1080p, that's just too hard to push for the nextgen consoles. Maybe for the generation after next. Doesn't mean a couple games won't support it though. Afterall, Gran Turismo 4 supports 1080i and it's just a PS2 game.
And OF COURSE 480i/p will be supported. Sheesh, next thing you know, they'll start announcing that games will still have loading times...
In conclusion: PS3 games are going to look real pretty and we'll be able to watch bluray movies on it. If you expect more than that, you're in for a disappointment.
No matter what you say, $50 dollars was always a lot for your average game. Now I know how much snes and n64 cartridges used to cost and I know all about inflation and the increased production costs of next-gen titles and you know what? I still don't care. I gots bills to pay.
I am simply not buying $60 games. Me and a few others are going to start renting our games now and the game companies will lose our business. I'll be back when you find a way to cut the middlemen from the picture and start offering decently priced games again.
I didn't hear about buydig until recently when I bought my digital camera from them. good prices and they shipped before they were supposed to. I always like that:)
I tried to find the lyrics for the demo song you linked to and couldn't find them. You might want to remedy this by putting them on your website.
I was also surprised by the lack of a forum for your fans. Internet Law says you must have one.
I also think your music is totally awesome and wish your band all the best.
I agree with everything you said. Well, almost everything. I'm not sure it's fair to say that mononoke and nausicaa are the same movie but that's irrelevant to your arguments.

LOL! Brilliant sentence mate! This ought to become a quote or, at the very least, a slashdot cliche.

Damn Straight. Now get!
The only thing I ever use Yahoo for is if and when my internet connection seems slow or dead I ping yahoo.com. It's just been a habit since the 90's.
Me too!
WHAT THE FUCK?

You might as well take a solar powered light and shine it on itself.

Thanks for writing down what I was thinking. Mod Parent up.
I liked your comments but I'm disappointed that you would even mention Snood.
It's nothing but a cheap ripoff of Taito's Puzzle Bobble series. It's therefore *NOT* an example of a "one man idea/indie developed game"
The parent is a textbook definition of an insightful comment. Mod him up!
Thanks for that comment. I've read it 3 times and it made me chuckle every one of them.
Also note that Muslims have a religious imperative to conceal information from and deceive the Infidels.
Damn! I must not have gotten that memo...
Note to self : start hiding information from the infidels.

Those cheap games never came out. I said "decently priced", not cheap. Decently priced is what we have right now (49.99 + tax) . Cheap would be $20.
No matter what you say, $50 dollars was always a lot for your average game. Now I know how much snes and n64 cartridges used to cost and I know all about inflation and the increased production costs of next-gen titles and you know what? I still don't care. I gots bills to pay.
I am simply not buying $60 games. Me and a few others are going to start renting our games now and the game companies will lose our business. I'll be back when you find a way to cut the middlemen from the picture and start offering decently priced games again.
