Do A-list movie stars have to pay to get their picture submitted?
I understand the purpose for limiting photos for independent actors who use the site as an online resume; however, sometimes I don't remember a specific actor playing a certain role and I just wish that there were a picture there. Sometimes the galleries just feel empty.
you think mobile gaming won't fly in the u.s.? look at the success of the nokia n-gage!/sarcasm. however, i do believe the future of cellphones as mp3 players is quite promising. flash drives will only get cheaper eliminating the need to carry two accessories.

State of the 360

I agree that Microsoft seems to be rushing. They are trying to go from being the one with the last console out to the first; however, the four year separation is similar to the minimal time period between unsuccessful Sega systems. There is a wide range of launch titles which should help, but it is looking like the PS3 will have better games at its launch. It's still to early to see if the PS3 dev kit will be too complicated at first, but at the same time Microsoft rushed out its own developement kits which cannot help.
My biggest concern is Microsoft sticking with DVD9 for the 360. Whether HD-DVD or blu-ray whens the blue laser battle won't matter because the 360 can play neither. One is going to win and people are gonna demand the 360 to be formatted with the winning version. Thus, buying an XBOX at launch would be ridiculous unless you could afford to buy a second when the upgraded 360 comes out.

This is a joke, right?
