Wow man, thanks for pushing me to the other side of the fence on the "Buy a 360" or not question.
Seriously though, I played one at Walmart the other day, and the Kong game had terrible aliasing problems. Edges on most everything looked very, very blocky, and I was surprised they put the game out there looking like that.

When it was in about 50 comments on the discussion about the phone's release...
Anyways, the whole idea is pretty damn obvious.. This phone is NOT Apple hardware, and about the Madonna ad for it I caught last night, it didn't mention "Apple" at all, iirc, just itunes. On purpose? I bet.
This shot looks really cool - almost like they might be making a Sonic/NiGHTS hybrid style of game play, with the apparent flying and all. That would rock! Or maybe just wishful thinking on my part.
Sony's new PSP console has sold an estimated 185,000 total market hardware units in its launch week, outdoing Nintendo's DS (87,000 units at launch) to become the most successful UK console launch ever. 24 games were available at launch, the largest for any console, with 20 entering the All Formats Top 40 and 9 games breaking into the Top 10. Games were priced at £34.99 with the console itself retailing at £179.
Sony PSP takes over the All Formats chart this week with the biggest software launch for any console. 20 out of the 24 PSP launch titles enter the All Formats Top 40 with Sony's 'Ridge Racer' (PSP) topping the list, knocking Codemasters' 'Brian Lara International Cricket 2005' (PS2/XB/PC) down to No2 and becoming not only the fastest selling PSP game but also the fastest selling Ridge Racer game across any format. 1 in 5 people who bought a PSP game bought 'Ridge Racer', but it was over 6 years ago since a Ridge Racer title reached number 1 in the All Formats chart with Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1) back in week 17 1999. 'Brian Lara International Cricket 2005' is the only non-PSP game in the Top 10 with PSP games filling all the remaining Top 10 positions and Sony claiming the top 2 PSP games with 'Wipeout Pure' (PSP) entering the All Formats Chart at No3. Sega's 'Virtua Tennis' and Konami's 'Metal Gear Ac!d' debut at No4 and No5 respectively, holding off EA's big PSP release 'Need for Speed: Underground Rivals' which is a new entry at No6. The most popular type of PSP game is racing with 5 racing games in the Top 10 PSP chart, including 'Toca Race Driver 2' at No6 and 'Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition' at No7, while out of the 24 PSP games released, 5 are new IP. Non-PSP new releases are eclipsed by the dominance of Sony's new console with Novalogic's 'Delta Force: Black Hawk Down' (new this week on XB and PS2) debuting at No1 in the Xbox Chart, but only reaching No15 in the All Formats Top 40. Microsoft's new RPG 'Dungeon Siege II' also suffers the same fate, reaching No1 in the PC Full Price Entertainment Chart, but only No33 in an All Formats Top 40 where half of the games are new PSP titles.
One thing I don't get... Why not fast forward through the commercials, and use your 6-8 minutes to actually watch a significant portion of the show, and make your decision based on its' content?
..on at least two dates in July 2003, the suit states, Web logs at Healthcare Advocates indicated that someone at Harding Earley, using the Wayback Machine, made hundreds of rapid-fire requests for the old versions of the Web site. In most cases, the robot.txt blocked the request. But in 92 instances, the suit states, it appears to have failed, allowing access to the archived pages.
For the "I don't wanna rtfa because its early" crowd.

I wasn't talking about polygons at all.. But nice to know what's on your mind.

Its Sunday, and Slashdot will post anything.
...these things started happening the day a game is released.
Are they running their webserver on it?
Creative Labs patents TR-1 interface.
Sony just wants everyone to feel bad for them, so they will be more inclined to buy a PS3.
...and beg him to stop!
..how far is the ceo going to swim this time?
If you liked that one, try the sequal.

Why can't Shashdot add a "Phrack" section, being that Phrack content is contributed in a similar manor, and keep the party going?
