Actually, Congress is split pretty evenly. The Senate is basically split perfectly between Democrats and Republicans, and there's only 31 more Democrats in the House than there are Republicans. (Out of 433)
Exactly. It should be a law that a bill can only be made up of provisions relating to a single purpose. (No "To Promote Economical Status and Decency in Television" crap. Straight, one term titles)
We can put it on the next Iraq spending bill.:P
They're not hunting for whale oil, or other vanities. They're hunting to eat it. To make use of the entire being for sustenance and survival. That's not bad to me.
The killing for just the fat/oil is not to my liking, though.
I am also from the west, and am about as big of a Final Fantasy fan as anyone from the west could get. (NES to PS2)
If FFXIII is PS3 exclusive, I will not be buying it.
This fact alone makes what console they put it on matter. The reason I would not be buying it is simple: Final Fantasy XIII is not worth $660. I could, simply, not afford the game.
I'm 16 (ahhh!) right now, and have a job that pays $6.15 an hour, working part time. I would have to save up for, if I get on average $80 a week, about 8 weeks to get a PS3. That's 2 entire months without buying anything. And that's just for the system. I'd rather buy a 360 and some games. The PS3 is not in my reach, financially. The 360 is. If I don't have a PS3, I can't play FFXIII, so I won't buy it. They've lost my sale. This probably includes a lot of people. Porting it to the 360 would also probably attract many new western gamers. The Halo-casual gamers, who haven't even heard of Final Fantasy, might have a friend that hears about it, or gets it, and they play and find themselves enjoying the game, and might just buy it for themselves. Putting it on the PS3 and 360 gives SE so many benefits, while keeping it exclusive seems to cut off entire markets. It would be a bad idea, any way you look at it, to make it PS3 exclusive.
If that's what he thinks they wanted... then declining the debate and then complaining about it is giving them exactly what they would want. Jack's logic defeats its self.
Aren't you supposed to have actually invented what you are trying to patent...? Unless MS did actually "invent" those... techniques, then wouldn't they not be able to patent them?
