I agree the maps included were really well done. I never got bored of the couple maps available in the beta. But when you have excellent FPS' like Rainbow 6 Vegas including a good amount of maps and releasing their two add on packs for free a while ago it hurts Shadowrun chances.
Back in the day with the old DTV cards were fully hacking the way they did this was by selling special card reader/writers. They had no other use but to specifically glitch a DTV card they wouldn't write other cards. They did this by applying voltages to points on the card that would cause the card to glitch and break out of it's continuous loop that prevented it from being loaded with new software. Then you could load the hack and watch all the channels. DTV was working with law enforcement to raid the sellers of these devices in the US but you could still get them from Canada. After a couple years of this they retired those cards and did a really good job locking down the replacements.
Well that's a shame, if they had released another dozen maps for Shadowrun on the 360 I would have bought it. I did the beta on the 360 and had a lot of fun with the game. Wasn't the best graphically but selling it for $60 with no single player mode and only a few maps was a really bad choice and hurt the sales in an already crowded FPS market on the 360.
My advice with that kind of money is to forget photography right now and forget a computer controlled scope. Learn the sky first manually with a nice 12"+ Dobsonian scope ($1000 with a some nice eye pieces for it would be easy to find). After you do that for a while then move into photography and computer controlled scopes.
I like Google for mail and searching but twice now in the last month their maps have showed me the address wrong. I put a zip code in with the address and it gives me a map a few miles North with a different zip code with no warning. Yahoo maps hasn't steered me wrong yet so I've given up on Google maps.
The Wii hype wore off on me before it came out so I ended up not buying one. My wife and I were at a party a few weeks ago and played 4 player Wii bowling. Now she demands we get a Wii. Can't find one anywhere of course and I'm not paying $400 for one. Tiger Woods 08 would be the main reason I would get it now.
Nintendo knows how to get normal non-gamers interested. Between the Wii and the DS with games like Pogo, Touch Master, etc
I used a Kensington Turbo Mouse for years at work. They are built to last and are great trackballs. At some point I started using Microsoft Intellieye mice , not sure why/when I switched but that's what I've used for several years now.
It's not A demo for $2.50. It's OXM's entire disc content for the month for $2.50. Demos, interviews, themes, pics, etc. So if you are just interested in the disc contents and not the magazine you can get it for $2.50 instead of whatever OXM sells for now ($6?).
I agree I couldn't get into the demo at all and neither could my 11 year old. Didn't stay long on my hard drive. Zonk go play something good on Live like the new Bomberman.
I don't see why it shouldn't be there technically either. Look at Rainbow 6, you have 14 guys running around on fairly large 6+ levels of up/down you may not be a mile away but it sure seems like it sometimes and I rarely have lag.
I haven't either. My wife doesn't get it but I refuse to buy anything with Sony's name on it. I don't care what it is if it has Sony's name on it it's not being purchased by me or her. I went from having almost all my consumer electronics Sony (TV, stereo components, dvd player, Playstation, etc.) to buying no Sony when I went HD last year. Out of the two evils I'd rather give MS my money for a 360 too.

Now Mac and Linux users can experience a corrupt game make sure you get in THE corporation that company plays for.
France suffers the worst country wide mysteriously caused blackout in history this weekend.
Bring it on down to homelessville... Timberlake's two shows he hosted with the Omletville and Homelessville skits were too funny.
Foxit PDF reader. So much less bloat than Adobe's PDF reader.
Yeah really. 1 more year older and the government encourages you to join the military so you can actually go kill people in real life.

well I don't know how I managed to type Apple as Apply twice... long day at work I guess.
Suing Apply now saying they should be paying his publishing company and not the record labels only: http://news.com.com/Report+Eminem+sues+Apple+for+c opyright+infringement/2100-1030_3-6199888.html?par t=rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-5&subj=news
"All the publishers are rankled that they have to go after the record labels to collect their fees," Sloan said. "Sometimes these fees may not be accounted for properly. The publishers would prefer to collect directly from the source instead of the labels."

Yeah but I already saw that on Discovery HD in 1080i and it really was breathtaking. That would be worth owning on HDDVD.
And the geeks shall inherit the Earth... cue 2112
Anyone really buying into BD/HDDVD? I'd rather just watch a HD movie on one my HD movie channels or the occasional $6 rental off the Live Marketplace.
Doesn't look good when you're 100k units behind the 360 and have no software in the top 20 sales.

Well better to not have it at all then it be half assed and read the endless whining that will occur on forums as a result.

Torrent link anyone? Seems like that's where it will be headed.
Did you happen to notice COD4: MODERN WARFARE is not set in WW2 but in MODERN times. I guess not before you decided to flame eh?
