I enjoyed C&C Generals. I know it's not the best RTS game out there (WarCraft 3 still my favorite). But, it was an interesting story and the graphics were pretty good. It was plagued with numerous EA bugs such as blowing up your installed game when you tried to play online. All and all it's a good 20 dollar game. If I payed full retail price of 50 I would have been disappointed.
You miss my point. Making Sony jump through hoops while giving me oral is not the response I'm looking for. The point is that giving those games away means nothing because if they didn't they would be collecting dust in warehouse. No skin off of Sony's back. Likewise, I'm not asking that they poney up everybody a copy of San Andreas or Ace Combat 5. And yes, backing up is the best option but come on. When it gets to the point where you can't even trust the demo disks then it's time to start reevaluating your status as a PS2 Customer./my 2 cents.
Instead of a select bargain bin choice they could just say any Greatest Hits game and call it a day. This is kind of like ordering a pizza that makes your family sick and the pizza joint offers a coupon for your troubles. Yes, because ATHENS 2004 sure makes up for the hundred plus hours that somebody lost in Final Fantasy XZ12-A or their dynasty mode in Madden or NFL2K5
"Sony was burned with their release of the PSX (the PS2 on steroids) and was left with a stockpile of machines in its inventory. Sony learned from their mistake and is not going to let that happen again. For this launch, there will only be 200,000 units available, with another 300,000 units by the end of the year. This is a very small number compared to the demand for this item, but with production costs rumored to be twice the asking price, Sony can't afford to let one PSP sit in inventory."
WTF? There is a demand already and they are still cutting down the production. How do articles like this getting posted on Slashdot? I have to agree with the other posts that this is just sony fan boy dribble. I don't remember ever reading that Sony got burnt on the PS1. If anything I remember when it was released you couldn't get it for months unless you preordered it.
The programmer who did admitted that he was heavily drugged/medicated at the time of development for it. No wonder half of that game was spend following down unforseen ditches. The guy was so high he probably spend countless hours laughing at himself everytime he fell.
My guess is that they realized with EverCrack 2 and World of Warcraft that people will probably leave in droves from Star Wars. It's probably too little too late. Sony should just let the game die and go onto something else.
I must be a super fag because everytime I play War Craft 3 I seem to not be able to build my bases fast enough. The 13 year kids on my team always remind me that I suck huge cock and that I love the ass cock. That is usually the time when I log off and go have sex with my girlfriend.
I would love to learn hard core C++ and design 3D interactive worlds but spending 60 to 80 hours a week working is not my idea of a satisfying career. I know it's not the same thing but if you love programming and want to try to make a career out of it set your sites to application work in PHP/PERL/Java/etc/etc.
just my 2 cents
Told me that games have no benefit and would most likely turn me into a murderous Columbine clone with no remorse and a pension for blood and evil. How can all these "gamers" give out of the goodness of their hearts?
Wow, that has to be the crappiest company website. People still use frames? I guess all of their budget went into City of Heros instead of a decent Web Developer and graphic designer.
If the prediction is true that the final level of Halo 2 will only be on Xbox live then I will sell my XBOX. I didn't buy Halo 2 because I wasn't impressed with the first game. I haven't setup an account on xbox live because I don't see the need for it. I'm perfectly content playing games at home without a live account. Now, if Bungie does this then that means that other game companies will follow. What is going to happen is your going to buy a 50 dollar a game and be required to spend x number of dollars per year to have xbox live so you can get all the content that should have been provided when you initially bought the game. Too me this is pointless and just milks the customers for more money.
I live Montgomery county, Maryland and they were selling these at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. I knew the first time I saw these that they were not legite. I wrote Nintendo and email and they responded back that they would look into it.
Why did I do it? I download roms of the internet on occasion. I do this because I want to play the games before I buy or I can't get the games because they are old and not being sold. With that said, if I like them I buy them. However, what these people were doing was illegal and stealing. It's one thing to download music or copy it for free. The RIAA has not right, I believe, to say that is wrong. But, if you download the music and sell it THAT IS WRONG. Some company with a team of developers worked hard on those games. They deserve to make money off of them. It's the same thing with software, games, musice, etc.. Don't steal and make a profit off of it. It hurts the consumer and the company.
I don't know. I think the new features outweighs the need to play 10 year old black and white games. Keep your GB color around and/or your SP and go with a DS. Yes it is nice to have a library of thousands at launch but look at the innovation your getting with a DS.
More games should allow the player to take the role of the evil/bad guy/antagonist character. I remember a game called Tecmo Deception for PS. It allowed you to set traps in a castle and kill hero/treasure hunters. Also, the last Resident Evil game allowed you to play as a zombie. Games like this should be commended for thinking outside the box from ordinary "let me save the Princess and the world" type games to "Let me destroy the world and kill the princess" type games. Rock on.
How about all you slashdot freaks get organized and setup a fund. Then you can use the fund to buy out double click and end the madness once and for all. Direct me to the fund and I'll contribute 2 bucks.

Just the fact that this is in the article:
"Sony was burned with their release of the PSX (the PS2 on steroids) and was left with a stockpile of machines in its inventory.

If the FCC has arbitrary standards for indeceny why not WIFI?
You also need an internet connection. If you want to install the game on a box that doesn't have a connection to the internet you are screwed.

ya that's the word. Thanks. I was confused.
Horrendous! I knew it was trick but I had to bite. Shame on me. Some sick puppy here will probably mod you as insightful.

Deal with it pink boy. It's MS's propritary system and propritary network. If you don't like it then play games online with your 3000 dollar computer
That averages to 132 hours per week. I think if you did a month of those hours you would die or have a mental break down or have stroke.

single xbox dedicated to playing games and leaving your real computer to doing computer things.

I for one welcome our overpriced, non-gameing computer overload.
Yes, because the only thing that matters with a quality game is the hardware that it is played on.
