  1. Re:It's a little bit of everything on Does Microsoft Have First-Mover Advantage? · · Score: 1

    'nother question... Why'd you choose to ignore all the other technological features that the PS3 has and XBox2 doesn't?

    Like the 7 controller max (as opposed to 4) or the dual display output (as opposed to single) or the support for 1080p (where XBox2 only supports 1080i). Plus the PS3's processor is (in theory, we've yet to see in practice) much better than the XBox2's. I'll give you one thing that the XBox2 has over the PS3; the amount of RAM. I'd really like to see Sony's unit ship with 512 MB, but maybe it will, it's still early to tell.

    "The xbox has a built in hard drive, which the PS3 lacks."

    Why are you comparing one generation to the next. IF you want to make a real comparison, why not mention the XBox2 (which also doesn't have a built in HDD).

    Many countries keep it alive and well (as well as such a morally atrocious system can be kept). Just to name a few: England, Canada, France, and the good ole' US of A.

    Obviously in the First World these things are even more susceptible to theft.

    You should definately have more intake fans than exhaust. It creates a positive pressure in the case and helps keep it cleaner and cooler.

    No, these are different from DIVX. DIVX required online activation to work, these actually were physically unusable.

    Actually, they couldn't do anything. You could go home, post a web review and yak about it to all your friends as much as you want and they couldn't touch you. You bought it legally, it is now your property.

    "The game was made for newer retail technology."

    Actually, this game was really low end. Look at Farscape, released more than a year prior, it had better lighting, better vehicles, better water effects, and it showed in the min specs.

    For a "next-generation" engine, Source was EXTREMELY disappointing.

    I've actually seen DVDs for sale that do that. I read about the technology and heard that my local area was going to be a test bed for it.

    Basically, you pay about $5 or $7 for a DVD. The disc has a special chemical coating on it that turns opaque after it is exposed to the air for more than about 24 hours.

    Your CD players isn't creating the emotion. Roger Waters and Jimi Hendrix created the emotion, your CD player is merely playing the music that they created.

    With any luck this new game will improve on what the developers wanted in the first place. It could be a sequel and still introduce new style. Then again, it could just be an expansion pack.

    Sony was replacing/repairing all PS2's that go belly up with a "Disc Read Error" on all discs. They did it for me. I only had to pay shipping. Give their 800 number a ring, just tell them what's going on and see if they'll offer it to you.
