And most of the time cutscenes in HL mean standing around while NPCs do a performance that ends in the next level section being opened. Nothing you do influences the scene anyway unless it's paused so you can push a button or put a plug into a socket. I just don't like standing around with nothing to do in a game, when there's nothing I can do anyway why not remove control and make the camera show angles where you can actually see and hear what's going on?
None of the larger import stores sell PC games, at least not the indie variety. Perhaps they're worried because like 80% of these games use characters they have no rights to (i.e. shamelessly lifted from some dating sim). Thanks for the link to Palet, though, they seem to have more payment options and cheaper shipping options (Himeya refuses to ship uninsured and with many indie games that means you pay more on shipping than the game itself).
Allowing the graphics system to be set to output HD is one thing, having games designed to leave enough headroom to avoid framerate drops at higher resolutions is something else. Either you design the games to look worse than they could in 480p so they run fine at 720p or you use the machine's full potential at its standard resolution but can't do 60 frames per second in HD*.
*=Though I heard the XBox 360 has numerous titles running at 30 frames/sec...
Selling out does not imply large demand, it just means demand exceeds supply. A supply of 80k units for the entirety of Japan is ridiculous. Even the Xbox would have managed to sell out of that.
I remember our history teacher showing us that movie and stating afterwards "I fully believe that's how the Americans do it" so it can't be very effective.
VLC crashes every five minutes for me when it's running at full screen so I believe even MS could build something better than that. It also tends to display all subtitles in the same spot regardless of whether there's already one drawn there which means they are completely unreadable whenever two subtitles are shown at the same time (and pausing doesn't keep the subtitles in place, they still disappear after their displaying time, no matter whether the video is running). If it wasn't the only player I know of that can handle subtitles in the MKV format I wouldn't have it installed but unfortunately it's necessary for that and MKV is gaining ground.
120 games played to a pretty high degree of completion (as the score doesn't come by itself) on a console released for less than a year? That guy really needs to get a life.
Unless your country implements DMCA-like legislation which means making a copy is illegal if you have to break some copy protection scheme to do so. While there are still legal copies even after that VERY few discs released somewhat recently can be legally copied.
They didn't make additional programming, they just didn't make the kiss action check the gender of the target. And why would they, a game that tells you "it's bad to kiss boys" when you try to do that would be worse than a game that just does what you tell it.
What makes you think the left are liberals? Left is socialism, i.e. wanting the government to look out for the people. Liberalism is pretty much the opposite, wanting the government to stay out of everything and giving all power to the rich (which is what happens when you let money be the deciding power) rather than the elected.
You'd have to place a lot of restrictions and huge levies on many goods since you have to prevent not only importing directly from China but also e.g. shipping cheap chinese stuff to Japan, printing a new label on it and marking it as Made in Japan and thus exempt from any block on chinese goods. This would also cause a recession as many goods get their real price again and go out of the mass market price range. It'd be very tricky to do and of course with all politicians bribed to the brim it's not going to happen at all. Even if a president started the process it would probably take too long to be effective before he's out of office and the next fool will rreverse it.

Actually, if Sony is to be believed, the PS3 is so powerful that a single console will be all NASA needs to get us back to the moon
To be fair, a C64 could do that.
Not Americans, Sony Computer Entertainment America. That's the company that prevents many 2d games from being released on the PS2.

They had a European subsidiary and bank accounts.
It'll use remade versions of the music done by popular rappers and pop singers...

That won't help you, Windows can't handle that much RAM.
Yes but production of those old consoles is going to end soon (on any serious scale) and game releases will go down as well.
Goldeneye is impossible. How would Nintendo now rerelease a game made by a company owned by Microsoft on a license owned by EA?
Ah, thank you, that works.

Because you can't meaningfully implement NAT on a single-machine "network"?
Democracy does not require voting on issues directly, electing representatives to do that for you still falls into the scope of democracy.
Oh, don't worry, as long as you keep the people from getting ideas you don't have to worry about their guns.
Seen Wag The Dog lately, eh?
Now the problem is that they're banning IPs so if you have one modded and one unmodded box you are SOL for both of them,
Naah, I've got a dynamic IP.

They (or more exactly their publisher) did lose a lot of money on the recall of the GTA copies that contained the data for "hot coffee".
