Wow you are cold-hearted. You're upset that someone at/. compared him to Ted Bundy, so instead of just disputing it you decided to be an ass and tear down the ex-employees of Enron. You should be sick of yourself. Not everyone knows Financial Planning 101.
Those ex-employees blame more people than Lay. Con-man do things knowing it will destroy peoples lifes and they don't care, that's what makes it more than a simple lie. You want to see how one lie ruined lifes then go talk to those whose lifes were ruined. It wasn't a simple lie, it was a huge con. Purposely blacking out power to raise your companies stock is more than a lie.
Do you know what one of the big release titles is for Wii? Red Steel, a FPS. And what retard can't operate an xbox or PS controller. Its not complicated, those people are just lazy. Keyboards are more complicated than a controller. QC controller is more complicated than xbox or PS controllers.
What Wii is counting on are the people who don't buy consoles. They think that with a controller that looks like a TV remote, then they'll switch those people. I'm saving this reply and 4 years from now we will see if Wii captured the audience or even a larger audience than they did with the GC.
People who think they can "handle their liquor" are quite dangerous indeed, right up there with people who think a cup of coffee or a shower will "sober them right up".
Or they are just as bad as the guy who thinks if he pulls out in time, then she won't get pregnant.
Not to mention Sony included features most people didn't care about, like that goofy UMD movie format that costs more than a DVD and is only compatible with the PSP.
I wouldn't say goofy, but they shouldn't have made it a PSP exclusive and expensive. It's just another example of Sony making a new format that they soon stop forgetting. This would be great on a Sony VAIO. I could see travelers using this on a laptop instead of the DVD drive. But they would have to bring the price of the movies way down to make it marketable.
Nintendo DS isn't doing better because of price. Nintendo DS is doing better because of games. PSP offers little inventory in games and the games it does offer are ports from the PS2. Who wants to play games you already have.
This is the same reason GC didn't do as well as PS2. GC was cheaper than PS2, but got blown away by PS2. Sure Big N had the library of games, but they didn't offer the games that people wanted to play. GC became the system for children. Hardcore gamers I know rarely ever used their GC except for exclusive games that came out for GC, but that's only if it was a really good game (smash bros anyone).
In the end it's all about the games, not the price. If PS2 and Xbox 360 offer the games that people want and Wii offers kids games, then Nintendo will be where they are today instead of where they were 15 years ago.
I think we have a nintendo fanboy here.
Halo 2 wasn't an xbox 360 release line up. Halo 2 came out for the xbox 2 years ago.
Don't let the PS3's cost leave you to believe no one will buy it. I didn't think people would pay $2 a gallon for gas, but here we are at almost $3 a gallon.
Wii is counting on an audience that doesn't play video games. They are also counting on an audience that is lazy to use a device that requires moving and possibly standing up to play games that may take more than an hour to beat.
Who knows how it will end up, but we know Nintendo will not be on top in the US, maybe in Japan. The real battle will be between xbox 360 and PS3.
At my work if the client treats me like an asshole, I get fired if I return the favor. You think cops would be held to the same standard. A 16 year old at McDonald has to follow that rule as well.
I use to work for a web site company that had 100 employees with 100 computers loaded with Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver. Then one day I come in to work and my machine no longer has the programs loaded. Turns out they were getting audited and only had licenses for about 10% of the computers. So much for a "web site" company that considers themselves "pros".
Maybe Apple will put it in their new mac commercials, but state that it's windows that has the problem and not mac. The battery burst could be represented by the fat man's fly bursting open and stuff oozing out.
There's always the option of keeping the video quality at SD, while just offering more on one disc. That way instead of 2 hours of people bumping uglies you get 8-10 hours of people bumping uglies. You never half to pull up your pants to change the disc.
I see the partnership being beneficial for both. Combine technologies to bring more games to mac and help create a console that would blow away xbox and PS. They both make solid stuff.
You did it now Futurepower. Now the NSA is coming after you. Oh wait, no they aren't since your post is too far down and has a low score. Better luck next time.
According to Myspace.com a lot of people are either 14 years old or 99 years old and my friend lives in Muthafuckin New York City, which I think is in New York.
What parent is out there complaining about the violance in video games that they buy for their kids? It's people without kids who like to stick their nose in other peoples business who are writing their congressman after seeing an article about how violent GTA3 was or how Rumbling Rose is all about girls fighting with lots of jiggle and mouns.
It's always the people who don't see the movie who complain that it's too violent or who don't own a gaming system who claim that video games are too violent.
What's funny is if everyone stopped pirating media, the prices would stay the same. Look at the cost of HD-DVD movies. Look at Sonys UMD. No one can mass produce pirated versions of those movies or games, but those prices remain high, especially the movies.
The claim from corporate is that they pad the price to pay for the 5 people who will pirate that particular piece of license. It's kind of like they give it the okay.

consoles already have mouse and keyboards, some people use them.
Maybe Apple will put it in their new mac commercials, but state that it's windows that has the problem and not mac. The battery burst could be represented by the fat man's fly bursting open and stuff oozing out.
If I sign up, will the NSA put me on some list and monitor more? Oh hell sign me up anyways.
Yeah another device to distract people from driving.
Because the 360 has heat problems. The heat problem is so bad that 3rd parties make these fan units to attach to the 360 fans
Maybe IBM will have two markets, one for super computers the other birth control.
I hope months from now there is a /. post about how troops are losing the war on toads.

Oh and they give you insightful. You ask and they do. Mod this as brilliant.

Wow since you put it that way, I don't feel bad that all those innocent people died because it could have been worse.

To bad we can't blame our children's bad behavior on bad political role models. Then we could make a law that would ban politicians.
