Before Tolkien, elves were small fairy creatures. Now they are commonly human sized, or slightly large. The epitome of human beauty. So the Tolkien estate can sue Brooks and every other author that uses the new Elf image.
This case is a load of BS, especially since the Da Vinci Code is such a horribly written book.
No other industry has this problem because they try to create SUPERIOR product that people keep, or trade for a newer version of the SUPERIOR product.
However, gaming is based on sales, and not accountability. They use a model based on yearly upgrades for the features.
They need to create good games out of the box. If it is good I will keep it. If it sucks I will trade it. The same goes for a movie, and they charge 2 or 3 times less.
all the games stores have the XBOX360 playing on HD tv's. Plasmas or LCD's. If it isn't on an HDTV it isn't much of an upgrade over the Xbox. Like has been said before. There is no real advantage from this gen over next gen.
