    Well, it is good to know that rediculous lawsuits aren't limited to America. Not to be outdone by the French though, I suggest someone sues a car company because they don't sell a version of their car models without an engine.

    Last I checked, Newegg wasn't including a copy of Windows every time I bought a computer from them.

    That's a nice opinion. Do you have any facts or information to go with it? If not, it doesn't really matter what you probably think might be the case.

    They're lawyers.

    Changing the text size (and any elements of the page based on text size) isn't zooming.

    "Although no definite details were provided, it was said that the standby mode would require very little electricity, about the equivalent of a miniature lightbulb."

    Quote from Wikipedia. I'm not sure how much power that actually is though.

    Connect24 still shouldn't use much (~1 lightbulb)

    Last week's sales in Japan:

    • DS 289,151
    • PSP 27,227

    Not to say that their strategy is a sure fire success or anything, but they started climbing that hill a while ago and they've done pretty damn well so far.

    Nobody wants to buy a new console sporting graphics from two generations ago.

    Gamecube sported some of the best graphics last gen (Metroid, Resident Evil, etc)

    Wii is 2.5 times more powerful than Gamecube.

    Logical conclusion? Wii graphics are 2 gens old!

    Seriously, who cares how crappy games like Tennis and Tony Hawk look? There are some X360 titles that look a lot worse than Metal Gear Solid 3 did.

  10. Re:Seaking of real tennis... on Wii Graphics 'Better Than At E3' · · Score: 1
    Wii tennis though (and baseball, etc), really makes me wonder why I would stand in my living room making serve and forehand motions with a controller rather than going out and playing for real.
    Because if you want to play a quick match of tennis with before dinner or a movie or something, it can be hard to get dressed up, get to a tennis court, and play a match in five minutes.

    There is a video floating around that demonstrates how it works.

    The main point of the beta is so that extension developers can make their extenions work. Nothing is supposed to be great about it.

    Not really. Ever heard of the W3C?
