(note I did not RTFA): "With a game demanding $15 a month, you can't afford to just casually log in a few hours on the weekend without feeling jipped."
Guild Wars has the one time cost of $50, and there's no monthly fee.
And about the whole leveling up and everything, in Player vs Player in Guild Wars, it's all skill based, so having a higher level doesn't really help that much.
UMD Movies are region-encoded (you can't watch Japanese movies in the US and vice-versa); but UMD games arent (so you can import games).
So unless American porn companies start releasing on UMD, or your cousins have an imported PSP they don't have to worry about them being banned because of this.
Back when they were saying the game was coming out for Christmas (2004), there was a rumor that they were also going to release an online version of the game sometime in the spring / summer.
So now that the game is out in Feb, maybe they'll make an online one to compete this holiday season. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
"I doubt any of them play sports so you can pretty much guess that there are lots of gay boys and fat little pale-faced Wiccan girls on the servers who hate themselves and escape into virtual characters so they don't have to deal with their pathetic lives."
From my understanding its HUA (heard, understood, acknowledged).
Watch the movie "Blackhawk Down", as it uses this all the time. I know that the movies don't always get everything right, but this one is based off a book from a first-hand source.
DDR also includes a "Workout Mode" where it can tell you how many calories you've burned. It keeps your stats for Days, Weeks and Months, and displays them on a graph; something you simply couldn't do at the arcade.
Slashdot Mirror
It was only $5 extra. $54.99 not $59.99
I work retail, and I know some people with those tatoos (wrist, neck etc..) and they don't scan.
Would be cool if they did, I'm sure you'd get some halo fanatic with that barcode on, or some loyal smoker..

Just don't play anymore videogames
Just fyi 7200 Yuan = $869.76 USD
$700 a year at ~$50 a game means that they're only getting 14 a year.
Maybe the people surveyed took off $$ for trade-ins or only buy $30 and under games because that estimate seems rather low to me.
When the QD came out, my store had taken 5 reserves on it, making us tied for #13 in the company (of over 2,000 stores).
Reward? The store manager got a free QD. Ohhhh boy!
"stores weave gloom and doom about it taking months to restock and then two weeks later, we're all playing happily at home..."
Guess you wern't around this Christmas when the Slim PS2's were launched.
Go reserve it at your local gamestore. I think at most places it's a $50 deposit, but it means you don't have to worry about not getting one.

Sony also has 989's MLB 05, but I guess they'll have to rename it.
I wonder if Microsoft will try to bring back Inside Pitch?

I believe the game you're refering to is "Life and Death"
I used to play it all the time (I was 7), and would just have fun poking people, and putting them under.
you can find it Here they want $4.00 for it.
Like Dawn of the Dead, Paintball, or Ohama.
Add in the glitching (highimpacthalo.org) and the online play is actually better than most console FPS (exception to CS and CoD).
The single player is really good, once you play it on legendary you'll understand why, and it's only better if you understand the story.

It's all done in flash or I would have just cut and pasted.
Why not? My freshman year in college was the same year the GTA III came out.
Having lived in a dorm with people's PS2s hooked up to their stereos blasting GTA III, I can tell you that the sirens are very realistic.
However, I can't speak for GTA:SA's sounds.
Actually on Xbox live, you can have "Guests" sign on too.
Halo 2 can support you and three friends on one tv, all playing on Live.
Pretty sure Crimson Skies does too, as well as a few other titles.
DDR also includes a "Workout Mode" where it can tell you how many calories you've burned.
It keeps your stats for Days, Weeks and Months, and displays them on a graph; something you simply couldn't do at the arcade.
Don't forget the Penny Arcade link
Hope it stays $19.99(USD) like the first one was.
Nope. Viewtiful Joe (and VJ 2) is made by Capcom
Halo 2 didn't have an entire movie made just to hype it up; unlike Super Mario Brothers 3.
