.. because even though we're supposed to going digital as a country, I still can't get half the digital channels where I live - even with an upgraded aerial. Being able to get TV over the internet would be a great solution to this.
.. I said 'pounds'. The actual cost of buying a SNES from the Virtual Console, if you're in the UK, works out as a total of eleven dollars. So we're paying over the odds compared to the US anyway.
.. it wouldn't surprise me if their next system update doesn't block this too. Though the main difference between this and the 360 exploit would seem to be that the Wii doesn't, as yet, force you to update in order to get online. The part of this that interests me the most is the SNES emulator - hopefully this might cause Nintendo to look at their pricing plan for the Virtual Console games. Seven quid for an unenhanced SNES game seems a bit pricey.
When my iPod mini went tits up, I tried a few things but they didn't work. So in the end I decided to take it apart for shits and giggles. Lo and behold, I found a funny looking drive inside. Funny looking, but also familiar looking. And lo and behold, it turned out that it could be stuck into a compact flash reader. So a trip to the local computer store later, I had a odd looking 4GB drive that I could stick into the back of my 360 and use it to play my albums off.
There are issues with a bunch of existing titles on that list that haven't been fixed. Silent Hill: The Room, for example, has massive great black cracks appearing on the faces of the character. And Star Wars: KOTOR - one of the first games to be made backwards compatible - has problems with the frame rate dropping and the sound breaking up.
.. is having multiple cuts of the same film on the same DVD, without branching and the annoying layer change pauses that entails. Take Dawn of the Dead. The ultimate edition is spread over four DVDs. Yet a single HD/BlueRay DVD could hold the movie and all the extras. That'd be my main incentive to buy a HD/BR player.
... towards discovering and isolating the 'poop flinging' and 'knob fiddling' gene in monkey. At last we'll be able to breed special monkeys for use in family friendly zoos.
Not unless you're at a really shitty overpriced club. Beer is, on average, £2.50 a pint at most. But yes, we do get screwed on everything electronics related to the tune of one dollar = one pound.
.. oh, Jaffe. Never mind. But working in a UK electronics store as I do I can confirm that whereas the 360 and the Wiis were damn hard to get hold of for the first few months after launch, we have loads and loads of PS3s in stock. One store, W H Smiths, is even discounting the console to £399.99. Not a good sign.
Now you won't need to travel halfway across the country to pay some girl WOW gold to have sex with them. Yes, I hope to god that story's a hoax but it seems all too plausible. I guess the real question is, which is more mentally scarring - a WOW conference or a furry conference?
I know they're working on it, but they won't have access to all the original voice files, even if they can access some of the old ones stored in the game. Nor will it hit X-Box. It's an admirable effort, but I'd really like to Obsidian go back and finish it properly a la The Lost Chapters.
.. is an add on to Obsidian's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 that actually fills in all the missing stuff and stops it looking like a rush job. If it can be done for Fable, it can sure as hell be done for KOTOR 2.
.. which has been introduced recently. And that's that Gold users tend to get certain demos and extra content up to a month earlier than Silver users. I guess they're trying to emphasis the two tier system. Though god knows how they're going to flog Gold to PC owners.
.. because that was pretty much my reaction to using it. After streaming movies from my PC to my 360 for a bit I came to the conclusion that I'd better off actually sticking the films on a 2.5 USB powered drive and plugging them into straight into the 360. Which can, as of a few updates ago, play WMV - and presumably after this, other codecs - straight from an external drive. Why? Because I didn't feel particularly good about having my energy hogging PC and 360 on at the same time. True, I could go upstairs and turn my PC on manually but then again I might as well just go to my DVD shelf and get a DVD off and put it in the drive.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...

Yes, I did happen to see the date. Though you apparently didn't happen to actually read it. This is a list of past April Fools, not an April Fools itself. The Opinia hoax is referred to elsewhere, not just on that page.

Clearly, nothing can beat the stop motion awesomeness that was Robot Jox.
