  1. Re:Some quality spin there on New PS3, Wii, 360 Downloadables Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah...been downloading arcade and demos and etc since day one release. Been playing Gran Turismo HD and Tekken 5: DR from their download service. Not sure what the OP is saying.

  2. psn store on New PS3, Wii, 360 Downloadables Announced · · Score: 0

    Good stuff if its really Multiplayer on the PS3. Id still like to hear why they have been delaying the release of Tekken 5:DR in the US stores. many of us have bought it from Asian stores already, but there is rumor that the NA store release has been delayed for an Online COmponent...that would be amazing.

  3. INPUT on IE7 Compatibility a Developer Nightmare · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If you are still using INPUT for your payment fields and other you deserve to fall from grace.
    Im sorry that most Widely used Browser is still not considered the standard. If you dont program your stuff to work on IE, thats your fault. Regardless if you hate it or love it. IE is still by FAR the most used browser in the world. Its better to lose 20% of your non "standard" browsers compatibility than 80% of them.

    and 5000 Mame games and thousands of other classic games that the Wii will never get. Only an asshat would be such a blind Wii sheep fanboy.

  5. Re:Sony Lies on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 0

    What reliability problems? Out of all 3 major new consoles, PS3 has had much less issues with reliability and out of the box bricking than the 360 and the Wii. There are only isolated reports of consoles locking up etc. Hate sony as much as you want, but the ps3 has been surprisingly pretty reliable since launch with an extremely low rate of failure.

    Um, no the 24th in Japan....q1 2007 in the US. Its not out yet, because as you should know, i CAN check the PS3 online store with my japanese master account.

    Not released until the 24th, but close enough, and true enough.

    Indeed. Woot.com had 80 ps3s this morning and they sold out in 4 minutes.

    Supply failure definitely. Ability to keep selling them...still remains to be seen.

  9. Re:Except it's a horrid thing to see. on History To Repeat Itself With PS3? · · Score: 0

    Tell that to the 1200 people who lined up in Osaka, Japan to get their hands on a preorder PS3. So many people want/dream/hope for the PS3 and Sony to fail, but it is not shaping up to a failure by any means. People are coming in droves in hopes of a preorder, much much more than the 360 lines even were.

  10. Re:I want a wii! on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: -1, Troll

    Even tho you got modded a Troll, you are correct in every sense. The only reason there is so much "loud" hype about the Wii is because even people on welfare can afford it. Thats the 1 reason so many people diss the 360 and the PS3. Everyone secretly wants one but is pissed they can only afford the Nintendo, so they hype it up not to feel bad bout their situation. Truth.

  11. Re:Maths on PS3 Japanese Estimates Down, No 360 Price Drop · · Score: 1

    No, it isnt low. Based on the Nintendo Gamecubes sales, the projection is within line. 250 still is a lot of money to the masses for any new console, let alone the 600 price tag of the PS3. It will still be early adopters come March.

  13. Re:End of the World Theory on Sony Says They May Not Hit PS3 Shipment Targets · · Score: 0

    Keep dreaming fanboy. I wont buy a Wii 2 days later just because i have to wait on a PS3 in the scenario you present. No digital out for audio? No HD? no thanks! And yes, there are more of us than you think.

    Yeah, i was gonna say the same thing until i remembered the 100k+ units already presold. Nice try.

  15. Using IT as a scapegoat for failings in life on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    IT has little to do with Divorce. Both partys involved are to blame regardless of their jobs. I am a network admin and im on call 24/7, sometimes im away from home for days at a time. My wife is a cardiologist and works 10-12 hr days. This often leaves little time for each other. But you know what? We love each other very much, and when we have time together, we are sure to spend a lot of it together. Fortunately we are both low maintenance people and can enjoy our alone time as well, this probably helps tremendously. We both understand the scopes of each others jobs and work the best we can with it. And I feel we have a very happy and successful relationship. Its a cop out to hope that your job had something to do with it. If it did you should have quit. Family is > any job.

    So the question should be, is any OS relevant at all? I enjoyed your response, i hope someone mods you up.

  17. Re:All Wrong on Will the Wii Work? · · Score: 1

    So I am guessing you are picking up a 360/ps3, because based on your analysis you are living in an alternate world. I like playing games, LOVE playing games...but playing zelda and mario arent MY idea of having a good time. But hey thats just me. I get it. Im 28, and most of my friends in the 24-40 bracket at work and other plan already have a 360 or plan on picking up a PS3...only 1 or 2 of them plan on getting a Wii, but thats mostly because they are broke fools.

  18. Re:Audience on No 3rd Party Online Support for Wii Until Next Year? · · Score: 1

    This generations success will be built upon a good online foundation. Just look at the Xbox 360, its online has been successful beyond imagination. This is definitely not positive news for Nintendo any way you try to put it.

  20. PSP and DS on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 1

    I have both the PSP and the DS. The PSP has been relegated for use as an MP3/Video/Media/etc player. I NEVER play psp games on it anymore, i dont browse the net with it. The Nintendo DS is my gaming portable. BOth have great uses when im international flights, and business trips, and i dont regret buying the PSP, but it definitely lacks in the game department.

    You have any idea what kind of background checks get done on you to be even considered to be considered for some state agency jobs? They will find out which foot you put your sock on July 18th 1985 if they want to(of course not literally). I dont think there was any abuse here. They dont want any loose ends in their gov't agency, and i sure as dont want them there either.

  25. Re:Wii WILL trail on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 1

    No, you arent getting it. It doesnt matter what they are trying to tap into. Final Fantasy, GTA, Gran Turismo, Forza motorsport, etc sell systems. Mario and Zelda may sell a few, but not as many as the said games will in 360 and PS3 consoles. Plus Nintendo still has the "kiddy" stigma, which automatically makes it a no buy for many. sad but true.
