Not every game is only a crappy patch of a game getting released every year. "gaming the way it is" means gaming using a controller, not a remote. Gaming using buttons, not motion sensing. Gaming with a compelling story, high production values, and controls that are not overly simplified. I like gaming the way it has been since the days of the NES, and Wii is not going to "revive" that spirit, it is going to change and threten to kill it with something that I and others aren't interested in.
20 mil is the worldwide count. And the article is either very wrong or very out of date, in that it's been more then 20 months since the DS was released in Japan.
Yeah, I remember a few years ago wondering why anyone would want a hard-drive as large as 10 GB. It seemed like way more then I could ever use, and I was still running on a 1 GB hard drive I barely got passed ~700 MB.
How does this "pretty much lock up" the handheld 'war' in Europe. I know the Lite sold well, but most new system sell well (excluding N-Gage). The lead there has been fluctuating for a few months and by all means could just as easily go back the other way, of course unless Sony does something stupid like not lower the price of the PSP.
Well actually the latest version of devhook, a homebrew game launcher, supports all current commercial games on UMD, right out of the box. So I can have my cake and eat it too.:D
Uh Nintendo 64 only had 35 million units sold. PS1 had 102 million. I think that's no where near a majority. Additionaly, the Gamecube is below Xbox worldwide by over 3 million units. I think you, and the person who marked you "+1 Insightful" need to check the manual.
Because PSP has a wider userbase to begin with, meaning people who bought the system to run commercial games can also use it to run/make homebrew apps.
The Blu-Ray drive means more for the PS3 then just HD movies. It means developers have a lot more space to make their games in, rather then having to confine them to 8.5GB, or have to fragment the game into two parts. While games right now might not need >10GB or whatever, in a few years time they most certainly will.
When you consider that the price of a standalone Blu-Ray player is $1000, PS3's $600 ($500 if you get the cheaper one that doesn't lose much) price tag doesn't seem so hefty.
Out of appx 500 posts on success/failure of the downgrader, only one had failed and bricked his PSP. So yeah unless YOU do something wrong, it's almost not possible.
Canadian politics are different then American politics. You can't have two extremeist parties. Here, moderates actually get elected. Liberals are center-left, and the Conservatives are center-right. Because of this, if the tories ever get a majority, I doubt they'd remove Gay marriage. They're just putting it to a vote in the house of commons because their party line firmly states that courts should not have the right to decide the laws in Canada.
As for public health care, there's a common misconception in the rest of the world: our system doesn't work. It's full of problems like exceptionally long wait times (months for VITAL services). The Liberal's plan was essentially to throw money at it, but the problem goes a lot deeper then that. There needs to be actual reform to our healthcare system because a lot of doctors are leaving Canada for higher wages in the US. It's not that they want to abolish total medicare, that would be Ralph Klein and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta. Maybe if their website actually worked and wasn't so flash ridden I could give you the details.
Besides, if they hadn't come to power, Canada might be no more very quickly. Alienation of the western provinced was quickly becoming a huge issue in Canada, where those provinces basically had no power to elect (once the vote reached Ontario, it was basically over, previously the Liberal party's main base of power). We could have seen a crisis bigger then Quebec seperation.
The kid at home should be free to say what he wants or put whatever he wants on his IM.
It's the new USA; people don't have the right to say what they want, or do what they want anymore. This kid did nothing harmful, and represented no threat at all. Friends of mine draw pictures of fetuses killing themselves and hand them in art portfolios in my school system, but thank our lucky maple leaf we live in Canada, where people still have some god damn rights. Fuck the American government, fuck the USA: your county's fucking screwed.
So you mean if I buy fucking blank sheets of paper there, a tax would be charged? Somehow the numbers 1, 9, 8, and 4 come to mind, but I can't seem to figure out why...

Very well, then the summery is completely out of date.
Zonk says, "The console has taken just ten months to sell 20 Million units."
You could have just softmoded your xbox, and saved yourself money and effort.
Seems to me that people who like PS3 and Xbox like gaming the way it is, not that they're just "trying to look cool".

Then I discovered BitTorrent...
I think it's worthy to point out that to fill my scooter, a Piaggio Fly 150, from empty to full costs only $5 anyway. High gas prices? Bring 'em on.

Problem solved.
17.03 Million as of March 31st. Quite out of date, but expect new numbers in the next few days.

Try that. Worked wonders for me.
Sony had a "Home button" on their PSP a year before 360 was even first shown.
Am I the only one who read that as "semetic web"?

Where are the ambulance chasers of the tech world?
They're all off trying to ban video games.
It's SCO. I'd be seriously suprised if it wasn't managed by a panel of feces-throwing monkeys.
