No longer were people satisfied with really playing sports, they play sports games. Now, we just watch other people play sports games while the restful audience slowly melts into the seat cushions to become some vile, disgusting, sentient ooze.
What about the poor saps who bought the games already? What about the games unsold on the shelves? Somehow I just can't see Ubisoft doing a recall or releasing anti-Starforce patches.
I don't see what's so hard about this. Stupid, lazy people will be fooled one way or another no matter what.
Me? If I get some email out of the blue asking for my SSN, bank account number, or anything sort of information about me that that individual or business should already have, I just mark it spam and delete. If I'm expecting an email because I just signed up, changed some important details, whatever, I'll keep an eye out for it in case it gets sent to my spam folder.
Hello, McFly?! If I'm expecting emails from my bank, I'll be putting them on my safelist anyway! Them and everyone in contacts, emails for forum notifications, newsletters that I want.
This doesn't seem to be doing anything other than making money for someone else.
In some games, it's work just fine I imagine. FPSs wouldn't be one of them however.
That said, they could just yank the whole shell idea and ship a revmote clone in the PS3 controller shell along with the sensor bars. That'd be terrible cheap but hopefully Nintendo could sue them into submission if they tried.
True enough but the costs of making and getting the new content to players is far less than that of making an expansion pack (no need for advertisments, pressing CDs, shipping CDs...). This just rubs me the wrong way when companies like Epic make a game then follow it up with maps, mods, and skins/models.
In a much better position since the Revolution will ship with these controllers and they will be the de facto standard. If Sony and MS think they can push an accessory, I'd love to see them try.
The fact they are releasing the second pack at a lower cost would lead me to believe that "well" in this case = not well enough.
Any sells would be "well" since it only costs, what, the player and MS for the bandwidth? They got all the suckers for that price range so they're lowering it to get all the suckers who held out because they thought buying content for their game (which they bought too) was stupid but hey, now that it's cheaper....

Hey look! It's one childhood lie in another!

I guess. But does it improve productivity? Encourage employee retention? Perhaps most importantly, do customers see the difference?
Equals pipe dream.
More like equals Project Goldeneye. Even better, no need to put up or support EA's douche-mongery.
Where's a Vista story to complete the unholy trinity?
The phrase "Missing link" is starting to piss me off more than "smoking gun" and "evildoers" combined.
It would have the strength of Hercules and the flexibility of Gumby!
"Gumbercules?! I love that guy!"

It's a trick. I don't get email from my bank.
So what all is needed (assuming it's free, of course)?
And you didn't post [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinf o.php?id=1863&application=firefox]the link[/url]?! For shame!
Except, of course, for PC gamers who play better games than Halo on their PC. Duh.
So how are they making money if not using cheap parts assembled cheaply? Walmart-esque health policies? Chicken feather mobos?
t -like-Walmart type things?
Or is this one of those razor-thin-profit-margins-to-kill-competitors-jus
So this is just a paid for whitelist?

Dell ships everymachine out with a bunch of crap software bundled...
Hey! That's all value-added!
Although in this case it's negative values but then that explains the lower prices.
What do you expect? It's America's Wang.

Right, right... Dorvak, rumors, wild speculation. I'll try to keep the common sense to a minimum.

Or even better, slap a similar system in the PS3 controllers? Then you'll be forced to play games like your parents.
*Waves the controller wildly to the right*
Turn! TURN!
Ubisoft. Not Nintendo.
What fanboyism? Yours?
/. and why is it being treated as any sort of legitiment analysis?
It sounds like an interesting if not great concept.
But more to the point, why is a satirical site making headlines on
