until hackers start finding the exploits in the anti virus program. Then MS can start selling you and anti virus program for your anti virus program. Oh what a great money making scheme
It's just a cartoon, why are pople getting all up in arms about it. People have made their fair share of jokes at every religions expense, come on now, lets get a sense of humour.
Also, correct me if i'm wrong, but they are angry cause they cartoons are depicting Muhammad as a terrorist among one of the cartoons correct? And they don't much appreciate this right? Well, I dont want to sound like a dick hole, but if your first thought is to shout death threats at people, then you are going to get labelled as a terrorist.
Just as a side note so i don't get called a racist or get some death threat passed on me, I don't support any religion. In fact, I could care less about religion since it produces a lot of radicals.
Or you can just type/pvp on a pve server and put up your flag. Either that or join a pvp server. The one hour line is just for battlegorunds. It is really enjoyable on pve servers to run with your pvp flag up in contested areas, you never know when someone is going to come get you, its not like in a pvp server when you are always looking behind you for someone. But both have their advantages
Also, I do like BG as well, always fun, except the alliance can never organize on my server
What he means is that if like 12 games are backwards compatible, that actually run well, and the rest are not, then a company does not have the right to start putting stickers and advertising that their system is backwards compatible. When you hit 90%+ compatability then at least you have more of a right to claim it.
Simply put, it is just a marketing scam. It's Microsofts way of saying, "Oh ya, Sony and Nintendo can do it, look, so can we, just not as well, but still, buy our machine cause you can kinda play the games you liked, and later we might decide to patch it, until we realize it is costing us too much, then we will stop and you will be stuck with our machine cause we promised you could play old games, but not anymore"
now that people know the xbox 1 wasnt a flop, like so many other "recent" consoles have been
Maybe here in North America it was not a flop, but it was in Japan. They have to pander to the Japanese cause they have no where to go but up in that market. It's sad to say, but the anti-xbox fanboys here have nothing on the ones in Japan.
Canada, our 51st state? What would be the difference?
The difference would be we wouldn't be as smug as you.
France? Germany? Not likely.
Can't even discuss Nazi history there.
Can't trade Nazi memorabilia.
I'm getting sick and tired of Americans thinking they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. And enough with this bashing of Germany and Nazi's, geeze, like the Americans didn't do the same basic thing to the Natives. Apeerently you forget about them whenever you want to be all high and mighty at what the Germans did to the Jews. And dude, wtf, why are you trading Nazi memorabilia anyway?
I'll probably get modded down for this..

In its first 24 hours, the game raked in $125 million dollars courtesy of 2.4 million copies sold. By comparison, Spider-man holds the current box-office record for biggest opening weekend take, having earned a comparatively paltry $114 million over three days.
Not to say anything bad, but this comaprison can't really be made. The last time I checked, movie tickets didn't cost $50 each.
It seems like the author had a deadline to post an article, and just went around and collected a bunch of things we already know and a bunch of speculations that we keep hearing over and over again and just submitted that. Thats all it takes to post on a "tech" site now I guess.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on number 3. They are going to find ways to crack whatever protection MS decides to put on the 360 (and i don't want to seem like I am focusing on them, Sony will have the same problem as well and so will the Revolution). All we really have to have is patience, and a teenager from Slovenia with too much time on his hands.
Thats one thing everyone keeps forgetting. Everyone that goes around saying they don't want to buy a PS3 cause Sony is all about DRM's keep forgetting that they claimed the same things for the PS2, and look at how they cracked that. Someone will eventually do it for the pride, and then you won't have anything to complain about (then it will turn into some kind of smug sense of pride, which I can't understand). Besides, the major consumers can't tell the difference between their assholes and a hole in the ground, they can care less about DRM's, as long as shit works, they are happy.
