If that happens then the only people who can pirate movies will be people with a lot of bandwidth/high speed internet connections. Then you are going to see wacky legislation come into play where the Government will prosecute anybody who has anything more then a cable modem coming into his or her house. Good times.
I love how everybody who asks "Why is this important?" gets modded down as a troll. This just fuels the argument that Slashdot is full of elitist pricks. If MS announced that they were releasing an update to XP this whole site would be full of posts like "LOL OMG MS sucks". and all those comments would be modded as insightful or interesting. Please mod me down to troll. I know it's coming but frankly I don't give a damn
Screw the recall. You could probably do a class action lawsuit against the developers of the game. I have no clue about how the law works but couldn't you make the argument that buying a console game is like entering into a contractual obligation where one party expects a certain level of software development professionalism? I say sue the bastards.
Look, I play both consoles and PC games. I lean more to the PC because I'm more into RTS and Strategy games and consoles are just not there yet. However, the reason why I don't give up on consoles is that they just work! I bought KOTOR about 3 weeks ago and it made me upgrade to DirectX 9. Everything worked at first but when I booted my comptuer up the next day all all my video and sound card settings were screwed up. It took me at least an hour to figure out how to get my box back to normal. (had to update a driver and download some game patches, etc). All I want to do is play a damn game. I don't want to screw around with having to update my system everytime I want to play a new game.
I will continue to play PC games because in my opinion they offer a better gameing experience as a whole. I will continue to play cosole games because they have the best "out of box experience".
Dude, your karma is safe. It's not like Nokia made a 5 dollar fix to the phone that you could buy at any phone retail outlet. You HAVE TO DRILL THE DAMN THING. This is on the level of "damn my computer is running to hot. I need to make full holes in the case with a sledge hammer to cool it down." So don't worry, Side talk away.
and that is why I don't bother with Nintendo anymore. Why I should I pay for rehashed game from the 1980's and pay 30 plus dollars for the privelage of it. Oh that's right, I can now play on my handheld that has 20000 cool, psychedelic colors. Nintendo has shown that they are using capitalism too take full advantage of the consumers. I going to excercise my patriotic,consumer right to not buy their crappy wares.
Although the retro GBA SP is really cool, why the hell do they keep coming out with different colors? Hey Nintendo, instead of putting time and money into researching crazy new color designs, why don't you come out with a better way of producing games. You GBA games are already 30 plus dollars. Hell, if I shop the sales at Best Buy I can can get 2 PS2 Greatest Hits games for 30 bucks. For shame nintendo. I think your just trying milk the consumer for everything he/she is worth.
Mother nature has bossed us around for too long.
It is our rihgt, no, it is our destiny as Americans to destory this scourge called Mother Nature and bring peace and stability to the world. Without acting we only invite the onslaught of a new ice age and an armada of penguins with laser guns and jet packs. Strike now before it is too late!
Vote for me in 2004 and I will end this threat once and for all.
You can actually view the course notes/lectures online for the class. I thought this was amusing in one of the PDFs you can download. Just because you are smart and rich enough to get into a good college dosen't mean your still not a total scum bag

If the game is going to be released 3 months then why haven't they posted any specs? I still havent' gotten worked up about this game because I'm not sure if my machine can handle it. I have a 2.6ghz Comp with a 128 meg graphics card. I have a bad feeling that the game will still look like crap on my computer. Id's going to demand everybody get a 3.2Ghz comp with a 268 meg graphics card. I just know it.
That is a good point. I agree that most of the games (even all) don't fell like a sequel. It's just annoying that SquareEnix is unoriginal in the Title nameing department. They should just come up with unique titles to the game and do what you said, label it "brought to you by Final Fantasy Production. However, most of the games are based on the same formula (run around a world map, level up, ride some chocobos, save the world with a team of people you just met).
Can anybody explain to me how to stop the camera from spinning? It got to the point where it was sicking and I had to turn the game off. The website and instructions don't explain how to stop the camera from spinning. I give this game -50 stars.
I just rented R-Type final for the PS2 last week and that game is insanly hard. The first level I kept dying at this one part and finally I gave up and put the God Mode cheat in. I was able to beat the game within a half an hour but to my disappointment the ending to the game sucked! I didn't feel so bad using the cheat because if I had wasted 20+ hours trying to master the game and finally get a lame ending I would have shot someone or threw the game out the window.
You guys seem to have forgotten the definition of an athlete.
Define Athlete
Who's dumb now? Playing counter strike does not require physical activity. All it requires is hand-eye coordination and Jolt Cola.
Cyberathlete Professional League ? Jesus christ, people please move out of your parent's basement, get a job, go on dates, get a gym membership, and live your life. I love gaming but this is just ridiculous.
Slashdot Mirror
"You must be very proud parents"
I'm not sure about that. I think most parents of Linux developers are asking themeselves "Why won't my son move out of the basement?"
Kidding of course.

oh my god. The AI is so hard! Must input the code to lie about my opponents war record
UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, B, A
Yay I won!
So are you saying that the Phantom Game Console is the answer?

So let me get this straight.
Computers
1.Cause neurological damage
2.Cause your eyes to go semi blind.
3.Cause you to become lazy and fat
Am I missing anything here?
I think Linux offically has more games developed for it than the Mac. Now if WarCraft 3 could be ported over to Linux than Mac would have nothing!
Yes that was a very funny, totally random scene in the song.
"Hey pacman whatsup?"
"Me you bitches, I'm high on crack. Wanna freebase?"
classic.

Seriously, I think it's time to retire the Final Fantasy Series. Talk about sequels plaguing the gameing market. Enix is in the double digits now.
Great thanks! I do have a controller plugged into my USB port. I'll take it out and try it later on. Thanks again.
