When you input the password onto Xbox Live with the ABXYLR buttons, how will you enter the parent password onto the revolution? Rotate it around, throw it in the wall, punch and slash?
What if it doesn't let go before a certain quota, say, a litre, has been reached? I can't think of anybody who would be happy after that kind of treatment.
His positions do have a tiny sliver of a kernel of value to them: Children should not be able to directly purchase hyperviolent/sexually charged video games just as they cannot legally directly purchase pornography. If a parent is willing to let their kid play those kinds of games, then let the parent purchase the game. At least that way they have *some* idea of what their kids are up to.
I also thought that Jack himself is the sortof silver lining in this. Parents can see a prime example how important it's to teach their kids to think for themselves, rather that listening to people like Jack.
...but ironically -- AFAIK, IANAL, etc. if you rip a CD onto your MP3 player, you can get fined. However, if you illegally download the songs from the internet, you don't get fined, the authorities will just say "don't do it again".
Go figure. Sounds like some people had a major brainfart going on.
Some time ago, I watched House of the Dead. I knew who Uwe Boll was, I knew that his films were... crap. So, I thought, yeah, I've seen shitty movies, can they really be so bad?
After one Uwe Boll movie weighing at 92 minutes... I demand those 92 minutes of my life back.:(
...the government doesn't have better things to do, than to crack down on sex in games, in a mature rate game, when there could be other potential problems at hand.
Jungle Beat wasn't really innovative, other than using two drums and a microphone instead of one and without. The same team that developed Jungle Beat did another rhythm game, namely Taiko no Tatsujin -- or, in the US, Taiko Drum Master (screenie). The only real difference between these two is that the in the one you have two drums and mic, the other has one drum which you hit in the center and on the borders.

I care about HD, and I haven't already purchased one yet. I find it hard to believe I'm all that unique. You post on /.
What?? So you mean that the Great Giana Sisters was a ripoff of Super Mario Brothers?!?!
EA's new Japan-only release; All-Star Daisakusen Love Love Panic Dash Doki Doki Magic -series coming to a console near you!
10k what? 10,000 doesn't matter, that's true. 10K on the other hand...
I believe Microsoft, too, will jump the bandwagon seriously and label the next version of Windows (somewhat realistically), Windows Beta!
Like comment #14132447 said, "you get what you pay for" -- obviously, this, too, seems to be somewhat accurate in the case of Windows.
In the end, Beta is only good!...

Sorry, I've already forgotten all about the whole thing already.
Altough, in the modern world... oh well.
...that quote reminds me somehow remotely of something else...
Almost...

Dear BWJones,
We have detected the use of the words music and share in the same sentence. This is against US copyright law. Expect to hear from our lawyers.

I'd recommed getting him a computer that actually works.
In other news, RIAA sues car manufacturer for condoning piracy!
Why not duke it out old-school style and breakdance? Why not... take a game of duke nukem forever instead and see who wins? Oh? ...nevermind.

Mario 128 is sooooo last-gen. Mario 131072 will be awesome! Or 262144! And think about Mario 1048576!

I think that somebody else owns prior art since some millions of years ago.
Why not go even further and name it XBOX 365! Gaming all round baby!
Don't forget Assembly.

Jungle Beat was fun, though.
