It's the same PR policy they adopted in the early days of the internet, torpedoing fan sites and web rings because they wanted to control the very IDEA of Star Trek fandom. You'd think they would have learned after they lost the lawsuit over those sites back in the day that they really need to stop antagonizing their fanbase. God knows they need the fans more than ever now with the latest bit of drek they're releasing.
Exactly, isn't the definition of a disorder akin to the definition of a disability? Meaning that you are unable to do something which the common average person is, and are thus hindered in your day-to-day life in a world designed to cater to the averagely abled person.
How is being free from racial bias a disability of any kind? Just because it's new and it fails to be part of the average human ability pool?
The recall goes back to 2007 models right? So take a 2007 model with the problem and compare it to a 2006 model without the problem, then compare the two chip by chip and bolt by bolt until you find out what is so different that it causes the problem.
Call me simplistic if you like, but surely just scaling back the construction type of this one part to a time before the problem existed is a simple enough change to implement to at least keep sales going and the stock price up.
Today it's fuel cells, tomorrow it becomes hovercars, then next thing we know we're racing down a magnetic track against aliens and clones of ourselves.
Still, it's a rare occasion when a company goes against the advice of a study that says "Everything is fine" instead of insisting that people trust the study and not worry about the potential explosive in their devices.
Sure, it's cheaper to swap it out then pay a lawsuit but when has that stopped a large company? It was cheaper to make sure the Ford Pinto didn't explode than to lose millions in sales when people just stopped buying them.
Quite probably because it's being "sold" over the Internet to people with the ability to do so (credit cards and the like) and those people would be predominately over 18.
Also the idea of blocking the game in retail stores is so kids won't see/buy/have their parents buy it, if I'm understanding the idiot logic correctly.
Maybe, since it has been so long since Okami came out originally, they'll do what Capcom did for the PS2 port of RE4. I wouldn't be surprised if they added in some new areas and extended the game a bit, to give everyone a reason to buy it.
Commodore is making new computers, Amiga is making a new OS, all we need now is a next-gen version of the Oregon Trail and we can successfully bring our childhoods into the 21st century.
Yeah, he resigned much in the same way that Nixon resigned, before the machine could do it for him and cause a big scandal.
I hate it when people cover for their small-minded employers like that. "I decided to resign so the company I work for won't get a black eye when its shown that its employees have thoughts and feelings of their very own.
That beginning section is a tutorial. It's so seamless in the execution that it looks like the gameplay itself. Trust me, the moment you get past all that is the moment you find the best Zelda game you've ever played. I love it, and I've just now gotten to the first temple.

Never have the words "Shut up and take my money" been more appropriate.

Hm, so this is basically an attempt to spin a terrible disorder into something positive?

I'll take one of these and a jack behind my eye please!
Could this mean that any well-preserved (but still indefatigably destroyed) texts from the fabled library at Alexandria could be recovered?

The future is now!

It's ree-OO, the Japanese word for Dragon.
There is no Wii "bubble." Those who want them have them, and they're playing not only retail games, but games from the Virtual Console as well.
There is nothing to worry about, it's the pre-Christmas lull that has always existed. It's a meager attempt to engender some kind of market fear.
Everyone knows that the default heatsink never works as well as it needs to.
Look for a boom in tower and pipe-style heatsink sales among epileptics in the near future.
How long will it be until someone edits in some TIEs and shoots down the X-wing rather than it just disintegrating?
I don't care if the gameplay is good, i just want to hunt for food in 3D.
Commodore is making new computers, Amiga is making a new OS, all we need now is a next-gen version of the Oregon Trail and we can successfully bring our childhoods into the 21st century.
So do Construction workers, but they get overtime.
That, and a next-gen revamp/sequel to the Battle Clash/Metal Combat series.
As long as Minmei remains a bimbo, i'll consider it a smashing success.
Don't forget that a strong correlation has been shown between any lab test and mice/rats developing cancer.
Yes, we can blame The Spanish Inquisition.
I mean, I certainly did not expect this vote...
Did you?
Integral Fast Reactor.
It can use any actinide, and has almost 90 times the efficiency of regular thermal reactors.
