The price is going to be very important in determining if this will be successful or not. Very interesting to see Nintendo offering multiple levels of portable gaming: Micro, Gameboy, and DS.
In (american) football, you may have a man open downfield. But, if there's a defender in between, a normal laser wouldn't be able to find that open man.
That's Donovan's fault -- he didn't earn his way on to the pitch. Instead, he gave up again and came back to California. Had Donovan succeeded, it would've seriously increased the respect for US players. OTOH, there are bunch of Americans playing in Europe -- a good site to track them is Yanks Abroad.
I think a big part of why Americans don't care for soccer is because they've never played it.
I think you're dead-on. I grew up playing it in DC, and I can't get enough of it. I even subscribe to GolTV so that I can watch La Liga (and I spent a year in Spain last year). Its the same reason that I don't like basketball -- I've never played, so I've never enjoyed the intricacies of the game.
I think tennis would actually be a much better robot sport.
I think any game that relies on a ball staying airborn and robots reacting quickly would make a terrible robosport. American football (how would you throw & catch it?), baseball, volleyball...you name it. Soccer is the easiest because the ball can just run along the ground.
This isn't surprising -- the efficient Germans play like robots, anyway. Heck, an Italian newspaper even put that in their headline during the last World Cup. At least the robots didn't use a handball to defeat the Americans this time...
It isn't DRM I had a problem with yesterday -- it was DMB (Dave Matthews Band). I've never bought a CD that had DRM on it. The music files are WMAs, which IRiver can support, yet I can't figure a way out to transfer it to my H300. I'm sure I'll find the answer soon, but for anyone not remotely savvy with technology, they'll probably just give up (and return it, hopefully).

Nintendo can't even keep their web site up now, and they're going to offere downloadable content?

...or watch it on BBC America...
Mostly backward compatible? Is that like being "mostly dead"?
Gee, I wonder what the custom skins looked like for DOAX Volleyball :)
I'm wondering when M$ is going to cut out the unnecessary fluff in their operation and just get a license to print money.
They do -- they have 50 billion in cash reserves...

That's a safe bet...if the IPod remains as it is. There's no chance that the IPod won't morph into something else in the future...
Are they Free or New Radicals? Weren't the New Radicals a band -- a one-hit wonder?
I assume, then, you are running your own email server? In hotmail, I really only get 10 or so a day, and most of those are filtered out.
Well, its the fifth year of this study, so I guess they are desperate for questions.

About 26% of female players are introduced to the game by a romantic partner, compared with 1% of male players
Ok, the 26% is interesting...but the 1% of men? Mod the survey -1 nonInsightful
They probably could've purchased any arcade racing game for cheaper...
I've got 19 inches that could hold it!

When you are able to develop an arched laser, you might have a chance :)
Actually, that is what I had been using. I've had no problems w/ syncing until this DMB DRM...

My last problem w/ Gamespy was with Freedom Force...and I do mean last.

Here is a thread from early March regarding the "World's First Physics Processing Unit"...
The Xbox 360 iself will have a DVD-RW, be Wi-Fi Ready, contain 3 USB ports, and have 512 GDDR3 RAM.
The iself? That sounds more like an Apple name. I call shenanigans!
Ok, Tony Awards are definitely not news for nerds...
Which is why I will never play an FPS on a console...I'm bad enough as it is with aiming :)
