First page I loaded up (sports.tamu.edu) had a problem not showing the javascript that runs at the top of the page while Firebird and IE show it is still working fine.
Grr...I want to put up a bug report but mozilla.org is slow.
The reason why I don't see MS dropping the 50 bucks is because it'll just pile up quickly. I'm sure you know that many people are probably trying this...it is more than just 50 bucks they are bailing on.
I have Gamespot Complete. I've had it since it was created.
Near the end of my yearly membership they emailed me multiple times saying I had to physically renew it, even having to reenter the credit card, address, and other personal information.
Good thing it isn't stealing if the person agreed to give you the money and gave you the info you needed to obtain it. Next thing we know, you'll say a personal check is an invalid form of payment...
[blockquote]It sounds like you have a pretty solid case. Good luck![/blockquote]
Perhaps in an alternate reality...I don't see this guy getting his money back. He isn't the first to get screwed by this automatical charge in the contract and he'll be far from the last...
This guy didn't update his email (they aren't responsible for that) and forgot about the contract he mutual agreed with (they have no obligation to assist him in remembering the details). The only thing you could slightly say MS needs to defend is the time period for charging his account but that's hardly the burden of proof that makes or breaks this case.
Please, Halo won't be platinum until Halo 2 comes out. No way Microsoft is going to sacrifice anymore than it has to on that title considering it is still considered the premier game for the console.
For me, Rallisport Challenge is easily the best 20 buck game ever. After playing it, I would've paid the extra 30 dollars without a second thought about it. Definitely a steal at 20 bucks.
Yeah, I dunno what made Nintendo jack it up to 30 with their "it'll drop to 20 over time" thing but I consider it to be a stupid idea myself. Just make it 20 and end it.
While Nintendo has a better first party lineup, they don't have nearly the number of games MS does first party. I'd be willing to bet MS takes in more on first party games than Nintendo does...
Apple has been riding a small percentage for years and has been doing fine. How much do you think Nintendo makes off a Gamecube selling it for 99 bucks? I'm willing to bet that, like MS, they are taking a loss for each console.
Financially, Nintendo does NOT have the advantage Apple does, which is the luxury of charging more than its competitors and still surviving nicely.
Easily the best on the list for me. Truth is, though, that I'm not sure I'd want to see a remake. I'd have so many huge expectations of it...it would potentially never meet them.
Beating the Xbox is hardly brag worthy, especially since MS has more money for surviving the long haul. Seriously, people need to drop arguments like that and the whole Apple analogy. Get some serious material already:|. Considering the beatdown Sony is putting on both Nintendo and MS, beating one another doesn't mean anything.
Face it, Nintendo keeps making really bad decisions. Even hardcore fans should be able to see that (I have). Nintendo needs to stop with gimmicks, get serious with the fact that Sony completely ripped the market right out of their hands, and come back swinging with stuff that'll convince the gaming industry that Sony and MS is a bunch of n00bs compared to a company that revived and led gaming to the golden age.
When the Saturn - the real "next level" - arrived, people no longer trusted Sega. They were known for not supporting their systems properly. But the problem was... they had too many systems to support.
What? Sega was one of the top companies in terms of arcades at the time (still is big) and the fact that they were porting several games to the Saturn made it extremely popular. The problem with the Saturn was an extremely difficult development platform and the utter failure of some of those ports.
I wish people would stop with the Apple analogy. Apple makes over a grand on a computer while Nintendo sells a console for less than the price of an outdated iPod. Trying to compare the financial depth both companies have is practically absurd.
LOL, good one buddy. Keep trying, you'll find good material some day. Until then, keep voting Republican all you like...by your obvious lack of brains to come up with a good comeback, I know you'll never be within the ranks of the elite; therefore I know your party will never have any respect for you.

Sad thing is he could use an improved education (his lame way of speaking screams that fact) yet he probably thinks he's got it made.
He says he played it for 2-3 hours on one quarter. If he could be more full of shit, I'd be amazed.
Figured out I needed a Flash reinstallation :|

Here's where that argument fails (the signature). If Xbox Live was not approved by him, why didn't he contest the charges he got over a year ago?
This must be with the new versions of Xbox Live. The original kits required your CC#.

Well, if customer service was providing you less than stellar service, I can agree with being totally annoyed. That isn't acceptable in any case.

Why would MS roll over? Sony and anyone else that runs MMORPG games have used these models. Plenty of other businesses use it too.
I can't imagine why MS would pass on an easy 50 bucks...
To use Xbox Live, you must give them a credit card number.
