You are not taking cost of production into account. I'd be willing to bet that each PSP sold is a loss to Sony, which is standard procedure for them. However, Nintendo is very good about not losing money on hardware.
Show some numbers with PROFIT per unit, and then we can talk.
Anyone who thinks MIDI can be used to produce a 'studio quality rendition' of their favorite song must listen to really shitty songs, or simply has no business dealing with music on any level.
If I buy a DVD, and decide it blows, I can at least take it down to the pawn shop or give it to someone else.
And obviously, the content holders HATE that you can do this because they get nothing from that transaction. Of course they want to find ways to prevent reselling.
I knew this was going to be a problem when they announced the setting of the game.
1) Everyone wants to be a Jedi/Sith. However, it is set in a time period where Jedi are supposed to be REALLY rare. Therefore, everyone bitches because they can't all be Jedi/Sith.
2) Jedi/Sith are expected to be REALLY powerful, and much more powerful than just about anyone else. As we all know, having one class being significantly stronger than all others SUCKS. Therefore, Everyone who isn't Jedi bitches because they get their asses handed to them, OR Jedi bitch because they aren't handing asses back to everyone else.
If SWG was set in the time period of KOTOR where Jedi/Sith were around in some sort of numbers, then both problems would be solved. We'd have servers full of happy Jedi/Sith handing asses back and forth with glee.
Combat is probably one of the simplest concepts for people to grasp. The logic behind trade, construction, and politics are a bit more complex than "Make that guy die because he's trying to make me die"
Not everyone has the mindset for trade or politics, but everyone understands survival.

I never bothered to see Lilo and Stitch. I can say that The Emperor's New Groove, while not the traditional Disney animated-broadway style, kicked much ass.
IIRC, the specific animation branch that made it was closed by Eisner.
Thats my normal usage. It indicates a deliberate pause in conversation. (I.E. someone says something really stupid and all you can do is stare in disbelief.)
Corinthian from Suramar actually. (Tauren Hunter) Although I've kinda shelved him to play an undead priest named Irony. (Same server)
I think the flying mounts are only for Outland, which is being designed to accomodate them. (from what I've read) If this news is accurate (BE going Horde) I'll be very curious to see how they work it into the plot.
I'm not concerned too much about a level cap increase. It's the talent points that come along with it. You could nearly max out two talent trees with 61 points to work with. I'm a hunter and just thinking about a 30/31 BM/MM build makes me drool.
First of all, appearance has nothing to do with balance. Some servers have Alliance outnumbering Horde, and others it's the opposite. Second of all, shaman are not that bad. They are no more 'overpowered' than Paladins. (and Paladins are an absolute bitch to kill) How are Tauren any more powerful than other races? They have warstomp, and a slight HP boost. OMG NERF. The backstory also firmly places them with the Horde. (Orcs saved their asses from the Centaurs)
They talking about flying mounts in Outland only, which from what I've gathered could consist of many floating islands. Obviously, a flying mount would be kinda needed to get around.
Take southpark for example. They have a lot of swear words in there that are beeped out, but the implication is there
South Park actually uses that obfuscation very effectively. Sometimes the implication of crass language is far funnier than the language itself. Examples include Kyle's rant at the aliens in the pilot episode, and many of Kenny's muffled comments. You don't know what is actually said, but your imagination fills in the blanks pretty well. Remove that bit of 'audience participation' and the show would suffer for it.

MIDI = suck
God of War was good enough to bring by PS2 out of retirement.
I really need to patent the Dominant-Tonic chord progression.
I think he just verbed 'incentive'
To me, combat != War.
Many MMO's have plenty of combat, but are lacking in war.

Just my 2 cents.
Go read the forums at www.eve-online.com and you'll find plenty of people bitching about economics and politics along with the combat.

You didn't get it. Read the post again. It's okay, it took me a couple reads to appreciate too.

I like the second acronym better.
You're right! I'm level 50, and why should I have to grind to 60 and farm gear just to be competitive?

It frightens me that this was modded insightful.

Aren't Costco and Walmart related? I've seen the same store brand products in both...
