This is the movie of the year easily, great acting, story and pacing. I cant wait to see it again, even my girlfriend liked it. Alot of unexpected things happen and they tie up loose ends the show left behind as well as open new story lines, go see this movie!!!!
I dont care what Sony says, this is so they can help ease the loss of money when they sell a PS3. It makes perfect sense, we hear about how Sony could stand to lose billions selling PS3 at a loss, whats an easy way to make up some of that money? Fire people.
I know this game isnt inovative or AAA but 6/10? Its a fun game that can be played a few times, and the multiplayer while not great is good enough to kill some time, its fast paced and clean.
7.5/10
Yea except any computer be it computer or console can make one of these controllers for any other system, so maybe Nintendo had the idea, but I think other companies will deliver better implementations which is always the case.
Master System controller > NES
Genesis Controller = SNES
Dual Shock > N64
Dual Shock/Controller S > GameCube
Style is fine by me but make a new game, dont take one as loved as Zelda and turn it into some saturday morning cartoon. I grew up playing the series and with OOT it seemed maybe the series would grow up with me but in standard Nintendo fashion they made it with a childish look that just didnt apeal to me. I bought Wind Waker and I liked it but graphics aside it was not as good as OOT, it was filled with so much boring sailing and BS tasks it was just a snooze fest for most of the game. Im glad they are changing the art direction but what about the gameplay? Call me crazy but I dont want to play as a Wolf, I want to play as Link! What if Aragorn suddenly turned into a wolf half way through the movie, it would be stupid. Hopefully the story mechanic is done well enough that it wont hurt gameplay, and more so I hope the gameplay is used well and not overdone simply to extend the wolf sequences.
Sorry I forgot the HTML in my post, here it is with better spacing.
$100 for some as seemingly trivial as the optical drive is simply insane for a console. I was a bit skeptical when Sony said this would be expensive, I figured they were blowing smoke to get MS to up the price of 360 but if this article is true then our wallets (well not mine) are in for a world of hurt.
*Estimates* Blu-Ray $100 GPU $100 Ageia Physics $70 CPU $200 Misc Materials $30 Labor $10 EST Total $510 and thats being generous.

How great would it be if the USPTO had to shut down because they infringed a stupid patent the passed..oh the irony! Hell maybe it could lead to the patent reform we have been asking for.
Dont use IE7 Beta its buggy omfg dont use it or die!!!
This guy should just shut up and hold his comments until the damn thing ships. I've been a loyal user of Mozilla Suite for 2 years, its a great browser, but if IE7 comes out and is honestly better ill switch in a heart beat. I've used IE7 and it has problems but its on the right track but I wont write it off until its done.
A non compete clause is there so someone cant run away with your R&D and just use it somewhere else. Sometimes Ideas are worth just as much as product. If you were inventing or creating something would want one of your employes to get a job elsewhere and get the same thing to market before you?
Yes games with sexual content in the main game, but this doesnt apply to opening up the games files and changing the code to unlock something that was disabled by the developers. I would agree with these people if the game had sex by defualt, but it doesnt. People have to look for it, download it and install it.
How can the ESRB or even Rockstar be blamed for this? They removed the content from the game itself, its not their fault some gamers found a way to put it back in. Its funny how these people jump on anyone at anytime for no reason at all. The game is rated mature, and unless I live in some Bizzaro World im pretty sure just about every 17 year old has either had sex or seen porn.
But if this was Microsoft and not Intel it would be ok. Unfair buisness practice is exactly that and we have laws to prevent it. These laws dont seem to work very well anymore but if AMD does in fact win then its proof that Intel broke these laws.
Well I went from $30/month DSL at 2mbps/2mbps to cable which is currently 5mbps/768kbps, at the time of the switch Comcast was 1.5mbps/128kbps
I pay $20 more a month for Comcast then I did DSL but because of outside line problems the phone company refused to fix, although they confirmed they existed I had to switch. I know quite a few people in other countries that pay far less for access and get far better speeds then we do in this country, the country that invented the Internet, now how the hell does that make sense?
What? So your saying because Intel threatened to punish companies for going with AMD for some of their systems, that makes AMD communist when they fight back? Was this a sad attempt at humor or are you just clueless?
Comcast 6
Download speed is good, I get about 500 kb/s, it could be better but im not complaining.
Upload speed is horrible, at about 40 kb/s, I want and need more.
Comcast charges waaaaay too much for what they give and their customer support is shoddy at best, they try to tell you routers arent allowed unless you buy one from them, every problem is always yours and they wont come out to try to fix it. If it was maybe $15 a month less then the service would be a 10, but for the price we pay, and what we get compared to other people I know its just horrible. What sucks even more is every other ISP in my area offers less for the same price so im stuck.
When i was in 6th day, oh i dunno 12+ years ago, I somehow managed to get into the network of my school, this was when I was 1st learning about computers. Well like any childhood ass I deleted lots of stuff from lots of computers. Well because all this stuff is logged it wasnt hard to track me down. I got banned from the computers in school for 6 months. I guess the good news is the pc lab teacher saw my potential and after the ban was up she converted me to a white hat and i spent the next 3 middle school years helping her out and she taught me alot of stuff. When I went to high school I was smarter then the PC lab teacher their and she ended up letting me teach the class alot of stuff that she just didnt know.
Well it may work out for you, and im glad it does, but for the 99% of us who live on mainland and can get cd's at any of 50 stores in our area its a rip off.
Itunes songs as we all know are $1. Your average cd is about $13-$15.
Shouldnt we be saving money when buying from Itunes? After all they dont need to make disks, buy case's, print the disks or booklets, they dont need to hire people to work in the plants etc, so why are Itunes files priced at $1?
I would buy twice as much music from them if it was 50 cents per song and I wouldnt feel cheated either, I've stopped buying from Itunes for just that reason, $1 is to much for a single song, even more so since its crippled and I have to remove the DRM to play the files as mp3's in my car.

Its legal but its still P2P which means fake files can be injected into the network, so what happens when you start paying for fake files?

Why isnt this +5 yet? Come on mods!
How many times are we gonna hear they gave up?
rofl, your right, they dont know what to do, people want to use their OS so they are freaking out.
"Whats the point of this article, we all know this"
or
"NO ****!"

how can anyone mod this up to +5 insightfull when he still uses the tired and never funny "M$" as a reference to the company, what are we 5 years old?
