you misinterpreted the last comment, I meant to say that Philips will have NEW mini-whatever the hell these things are Players, which is a major reason for making a size change.
Why change the size? Well, if they didnt change the size of the disc then they are losing tons of money that they would be making on the new players, for these new discs. Plus people with small minds are attracted to small things, or and you are more likely to lose the new disc, therefore requiring you to buy more.
Maybe Iceland is in a way challenging other countries to follow suit. I mean America has this strong urge to out do everybody at everything, while keeping a good public image. Well what better than to help save the planet and promise you will do it in 20!
This is a good thing. It would be even better if it got rid of all the porn on the net. Do not forget that everytime you masturbate, God kills a kitten. So thank you Pennsylvania for thinking of the kittens.
This is all well and good when our soldiers have them; however, what is stopping the Terrorists from getting these too. Afterall they did manage to steal several giant aircrafts, so I dont suppose stealing a suit of armour is much harder. What happens when we cant kill the terrorist because we made the damn suits too good.
Did they(MS) not just play the game to the best of their abilities? Is it their fault people have no real alternative(until now i guess). Oh well who the hell cares anymore anyways.
How long will it be before someone in one of the MMORPG's goes crazy because a guy in the next city ruined his player (which he was about to auction on Ebay for $3000) - and decides to settle the matter with a real shotgun?
Well, if this does happen, it is in no way the game's fault or it's maker. People need to stop making excuses and fess up to their own actions. It is not the games fault you are a flipping moron and decided to shoot up your school. Cause like it has been said before there are millions of other people playing and not shooting up schools. So, maybe parents should do their job and maybe overload their kids with affection instead of letting them be raised by Doom and the gang. There is no such thing as too much affection.
Yes, that is all and good, but do you see blood, or perhaps a gun? I highly doubt it, so how is this contributing to school violence? My point was they were sueing the wrong people to begin with. They were just in it for the money. Kind of sick when someone tries to profit from a family members death like this.
Anyone else find it funny that they were sueing nintendo. I didn't even know they made violent games, seeing as they are pretty much marketed for 5 year olds that love those handicapped mutant animals, pokemon. I guess it really had to do with which company had the deepest pockets at the time.
Well folks, the real criminal here is that old bastard Alexander Graham Bell. If it weren't for that infernal contraption he created then none of this would be possible. I say we deport all of the lasting relatives to Cuba.
Let us immature kids have our fun. God knows you adults destroyed the planet and ruined everything else, so could you back off and let us listen to our offensive music, play our violent games, and watch all the perverted TV we want.
Our society has become dependant on these things anyways, so have fun trying to take them away.
Oh and at the rate things are going these games are just going to get more violent to satisfy our cravings.

I totally agree with you. The boss is away and I am about to go check out everquest stuff on the net. I love my job. I am slacker-extrordinair

It's true, American hicks out number Canadian hicks 3 to 1. Once we too declare imbreding as law then we will see who wins.
