But i'm really not looking forward to sitting next to some guy on the train who's watching porn, and i imagine a lot of parents wouldn;t be too happy about this either. I believe a lot of porn mags are bought but most of them are 'used' at home.
The whole concept seems floored, if people want porn to watch in private they'll get higher quality dvd's or if they want to watch porn on the move they'll get arrested. The market seems too small to me.
"I think the Nintendo customer is so entrenched and loyal that the company knows that they have a base of customers that they are building off of. Is it the same size that it was on 8-bit? Certainly not. They definitely have seen their market position erode in the face of market introductions by Sony and Microsoft."
I'm aware that Nintendo's market share is nothing like waht it was in the 8-bit era. However the market is so much larger nowadays. Are the number of Nintendo users really that much smaller than they were? Anyone out there with some figures they can throw my way?
"By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day"
replace All 'Skynet' with 'Steam'
I've more or less retired from buying 'popular' music and buy most of my cd's from listening to shows like late junction on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio3/aod.shtml?radio3/latejunction Even if i did want to 'pirate' albums by the people on these shows, i couldn't as you can't find them on P2P. And besides it feels good to buy albums of bands which actually need your money to survive as opposed to just lining the pockets of the major corporations and multimillion dollar stars

it's 9,90 euro which is about $6-7.
good point, especially if you include in the marketing budget money to 'entertain' the staff of less reputable magazines who are rather loose with their score system, just prior to your big game release...

i shouldn't really reply to this but
"...C'mon, grow up! It's not a speeding ticket or a parking fine, it's copyright violation."
are you suggesting that file sharing is worse than speeding or parking in dangerous places, both which can be strongly argued as a risk to peoples lives? Compared to these, screwing major corporations out of a few dollars is absolutely meaningless, sort your analogies out. And from what i believe is having a more objective view than most americans of their political system, the government is heavily influenced by the corporations, you can't have a go at people for trying to stand up against them.

I' afraid i have to disagree, take Mario 64, a 'sequel' to Super Mario World, yet it was far more innovative than a first generation game such as Clay fighters, or Turok could ever be
see nintendo games over the last 20 years. Pumping out sequel after sequel but never resting on their laurels. It is not sequels that characterise stagnation in the industry, but tarting up old games, you hear me EA?

I believe that the shroud was damaged in several fires and was fixed several times by nuns. That is one of the reasons cited for the differing ages of the shroud and the presence of dye in some of the samples
I still wish Ninteno had never sold them. They could really have done with another 2nd party developer and the i imagine Rare had several games in the pipeline for the cube when they got sold off, which many would have been released by now. From a gamers point of view the selling of Rare was a black day
ok i admit it i have bought the odd game, ghost recon 2 being the latest. Halo 2 never floated my boat, its lack of bots really pissed me off. i don't look after the xbox any more and have lent it to my impoverished teacher friend, I mainly used it as an all in one media centre for my music and dvds, and playing a host of old games of which i own at least one copy, the wires under my tv were getting way to much to have all those consoles and controllers hanging around. More of a theoretical question really:)
what if i bought an xbox when they were still losing money on everyone they sold, and have used it for XBMC and emulators ever since? Can i still take the moral high ground?
Not having read the article either or even played the game, i can only go on my prior knowledge of such games, which cause the controller to vibrate when you have correctly input a code. So if that was the case it would make automating the process very quick indeed.

We are approaching £3,000 tuition fees plus £3,600 loan, each year, but i feel that doesn't touch on the USA. What do you guys have to fork out?
We have a 'similar' thing run here at the University of York UK, but instead of making robots fight we are designing Othello AI. And MIT prize funds of $13,000, i think i want to be sick.
From what my ex colleague at IBM said, the pc's and servers weren't so much of a problem as they all ran more recent software and hardware architectures, however the big old mainframes needed a lot of work to get them all compliant. Seeming as most of the worst financial deadlings reside on mainframes it was indeed a very MAJOR problem. He was involved in making sure they were all compliant and there was a big sigh of relief when everything worked out OK. I think the non-mainframe scare was indeed hyped up but on the mainframe side you couldn't get any more serious

Wow, I didn't realise it was all that bad. I'd be interested to see game sales and handheld charts as well, but now i'm getting cheeky :)
Now thats what i call flame bait, ironic huh?
