...Free. I don't pay them to index my sites, and they send me potential customers. Somewhere around 80% of my traffic is related to search engines. Sure, they're getting money from advertising other sites that may compete with you, and they don't produce content of their own. But at least I don't have to pay 400 dollars for a page in the yellow book and reach a whole city of customers when I can have my site indexed and reach a whole world. (unless they don't speak english, then they can't get much value from my site)
...is that microsoft allows them to be patched in the first place. I'm sure the playstation will be the same thing as we've already seen with the psp. If it wasn't possible to patch these errors they wouldn't show up in the first place. Coders would take the time to fix the bugs as it isn't cheap to recall a bunch of little discs just for the bug. Developers will get them out asap.
These type of patches also allow Microsoft to force people to go online with their xboxs as that will be the prefered method of updating your console and zapping your modded ones to prevent piracy.
One of the main things that separated console games from pc games was that it was a complete experience, you bought the disc, that was it. now developers find bugs, they can fix them later and issue a patch.
welcome to the gaming world, brought to you by microsoft.
i'm sorry, but you're not interacting with 100's or 1000's, you're interacting with 1's at most maybe 20 people. When you go walking down the street or in a mall do you interact with everybody there? no. just a select few, and most of them will be selling you something. Social interaction on the internet isn't very feasable as you're too anonymous
obviously then the Revolution will be the cheapest major console ever to be release when adjusted for inflation as it will most likely be 200 bucks or 150...you've got to be kidding me...
of course, it's not about High Definition, it's about selling more frequencies at higher prices to more people since 5 channels can exist on one frequency by making it digital

that'd be smart...plunge the us into an iceage to waste more energy on heating...producing more green house gasses...
i would prefer an iceage anyway, too hot right now
