    Again...what can people who have a right to freedom of speech do other than say "but they are guilty, I have seen the proof but unfortunately loopholes, good lawyers and a carefully chosen jury have set them free"? Have you no answer to why you think once a trial ends and justice was not truly given to the victims or their family that they or any of the countries citizens should relinquish the freedom to speak up about it? I would really like to understand that line of reasoning. Really....

    I have actually seen the video of what took place when this kid died. That is the proof. It was at the very least manslaughter. However I and many others who agree weren't on the jury. They have already been tried so what can people actually do other than stand there and say "but they are guilty, I have seen the proof but unfortunately loopholes, good lawyers and a carefully chosen jury have set them free"?

    Aw, it looks like I hurt the sensitive senile crowd where it hurts. I'm sorry if I have offended those of you who are full of ignorance and hate. It looks like your 8 year run of fear mongering is coming to an end. My bad.

  9. Re:best game ever! on Shots of the New Tecmo Bowl for the DS · · Score: 1

    This is the super bowl version, hence the reference to bo jackson not being in the game. I made damn sure that it was tecmo super bowl and not tecmo bowl. YES! I loved both games but Super was definitely an improvement. How about a little Run n Shoot with Warren Moon at the wheel? ; - )

  11. This just in - YOU HAVE A CHOICE! on PS3's Back-Compat Loss Explained, Analyzed · · Score: 1

    They have models with backwards compatibility and one without. If it's important to you then get a model that supports it. If it's not then save the money and get one without. It's simple really. However if you are a fan boy/hater who was never going to get one any way use this as your rally cry. Personally I'm still fine with my Wii, PS2 and Xbox. When/if I do get a PS3 I'll probably be fine without it. However if I change my mind I won't go crazy pretending that I don't have the option.

  12. Re:Nice BS numbers from Japan. on PS3 Missed Ship Targets, Loses Exclusives · · Score: 1

    You fail to mention that it shows PS2 sales. I believe it launched 6 years ago and has sales of 16,000 compared to 4,004 for 360 and Xbox combined. You seem to be as biased as you claim 1up is if you think those numbers were useless. Especially considering they were simply being used following the statement that Sony did better than MS in Japan this week. Obviously they did that on PS2 sales alone. As for me I could care less. With a PC and Nintendo Wii at my disposal I see no use for either of those overpriced boxes at the moment. I'll probably grab one late next year after a price drop and a clearer picture of each consoles spot in the market.

    You want to call me an idiot while coming up with that lame explanation. Please. You're sorry excuse may have some value if it weren't for the fact that this isn't even remotely a singular issue inviolving last years finals. The guy has been fined so many times for using the refs as excuse it's pathetic. This whole google/youtube issue is just one more lame moment to add to many for Cuban.

    I for one was pulling for the Mavs in last years finals but in the end they choked. Sadly neither you or Cuban can admit this. Even worse you feel the need to call me an idiot due to your blinding bias.

  17. Xbox owners get the shaft from MS on Halo 3 Multiplayer Demo Coming In Spring · · Score: 1

    If you read the article you will notice that the new maps will only be available for Xbox 360 when released. Very nice marketing ploy to try and force your customers to upgrade away from a console which still has plenty of life. No this is not surprising coming from Microsoft but still annoying nonetheless. Bungie pretty much apologizes saying they want all of their fans to enjoy the new content but that their hands are tied by the publisher, Microsoft Game Studios. Here's to not seeing other great game companies like Bungie being bought by large corporations who have other motives than simply delivering the best games possible to their fans.

  18. Re:7th gen? 7th yawn. My grumpy old perspective on History To Repeat Itself With PS3? · · Score: 1

    [quote]With every single console since, the computer on my desk had.........better gameplay (via the keyboard) than any console of each era.[/quote][BR] That is a very subjective opinion. As someone who enjoys both pc and console gaming I think gameplay is much more satisfying with a console controller.

  19. Re:No great games, difficult development, unproven on History To Repeat Itself With PS3? · · Score: 1

    It is you who seem to have it wrong. Resistance definitely looks to be a great game. It received a 9.1 from IGN who are basically an advertising firm for MS. Not only that, it looks to be twice the game of anything I could pick up for my 360 at launch.

    "The Xbox Live Arcade (which was started with the Xbox 1) for downloadable games and content delivery directly to the console - FREE" Could you be anymore misleading?

  21. Re:summary: on History To Repeat Itself With PS3? · · Score: 1

    I have a 360 and I must say...YOU MUST BE JOKING! There is very little about the 360 and it's current software that is innovative. Most of the things you mention are completely fluff. Those that aren't will probably be done better by Nintendo and Sony. Not only that but they won't be charging you a subscription fee. I'm in no way contending that the 360 isn't a solid console. It is. It's just my opinion that it's not very innovative in the gameplay department which is what video games are all about.

  25. Spot on! on Sony's Karakker On Turning Around PS3 Buzz · · Score: 1

    Finally someone making sense. The fact is all of these posters claiming Sony only prospers due to blind fanboys are for the most part die hard Xbox fanboys/Sony haters. Please give it a rest. I own all 3 consoles from the last gen and for the most part I am happy with all of them. However there is no denying that Sony and their PS2 have given me the most amount of overall entertainment and will also support said generation for the longest period of time. Not only that but if you want a high end next gen rig what other options do you have? IMO, PC is about it. The 360 is just not a true next gen console imho. Nintendo will give you next gen gameplay innovation with the Wii and Sony has you covered with next gen hardware and media. Microsoft has given us Xbox 1.5 at a pretty hefty price in it's own right. I for one will pick up a Wii this Xmas for the family while also continuing to play plenty of great titles at budget prices on PS2/Xbox. When I have the money to burn I will probably pick up a PS3. The 360 is just a huge letdown if you ask me. I was at E3 2005 and was incredibly hyped for the release. However at this point things have been incredibly disappointing and I don't think there will be any drastic change. Gears of War will come out and be great but it won't be enough. Come this time next year the PS3 will be blowing the Xbox out of the water.
