Most likley not, that money would mostly go towards infastructure, military to defend its borders etc. The Israli taxpayers are most likley paying for this
However I must say I dont think parent should be modded "troll" its a fair enough question with the answer being "unlikley" rather than "of course not"
Arn't you the guy that just trolled me on the MGS4 posts? Face it, you are either a troll or a sony fanboy, proberbly both. Now start backing up your arugments rather than just 'your a pathetic loser as sutpid as creationists" type mud slinging.
"They're called Fanboy Goggles. They were invented by Dreamcast fans way back in 1999/2000."
I am no Microsoft fanboy however for the record I admit to being a Dreamcast fanboy! I am a Linux user and I own all 3 consoles. I just dont take my Linux fanboyism to the level of Twitter
"You're a pathetic idiot."
Now that is what I call fanboy language!
It's almost three years into the 360's disastrous life and the 'graphical showpiece' for the 360 isn't some amazing first party title, it's a game running on the fucking outdated Unreal Engine 3."
Emotional much? Oh and where is the PS3's killer app? That blows the 360's graphics out of the water? I am waiting? No one denies that the PS3 has more horsepower, however we are talking about a complex chip that will (like the PS2) take a whole generation to unlock. No one has the means to produce anything more meaningful than what the 360 can do. Even Uncharted (the only good first party title) doesn't offer a richer visual experience.
Btw I will give Sony credit, they have one good first party title while Microsoft have none. However almost all major 3rd party titles (CoD4, Assassins Creed, Orange Box, Rainbow Six Vegas, Oblivion etc all look better on the 360
What's even more pathetic about the absurdly underpowered 360 graphics hardware is even running the Doom 3 era UE3 engine Epic still had to limit the number of objects/enemies onscreen to usually just a few and confine the player to tiny corridors and rooms and even outside the background draw distance is absurdly tiny with everything beyond the immediate foreground blurred out with a vaseline type filter.
Who's the fanboy? Most draw distances in Gears were outdoors and more than what Resistance had without 10 loading screens per level (a.k.a MSG4)
If UE3 engine is so obsolete? Than why is it still being licenced like crazy, even Square is using it!
Hell, the 360's botched graphics hardware couldn't even handle the unified lighting model Doom 3 had three to four years ago.
I played Doom 3 on Linux, and I must say: Lighting model? What lighting? The game was dark as shit you couldnt actually see anything without a pissy flashlight that you could't use if trying to shoot something!
I must say, the language and attitude seems to indicate you are a Sony fanboy and the fact that you posted AC I am pretty sure you know the common oppinion will be the same. I love both consoles and think they do quite well, but I must say...
If the PS3 is such a mega powerhouse that's a generation ahead of the 360 that you seem to claim that it is... where's PS3 Crysis? (which btw doesn't require Blu-Ray)
You could really notice differences with RE4 and Twilight Princess that the cube more powerful than the PS2 and almost as good as the Xbox.
Nintendo screwed up on the gimmped storage in the case of 3rd parties. Nintendo had some very sweet graphics compression technologies that they didn't want to share with their 3rd parties so you had crap like 2 disc games.
I must say though, I dont see much of a difference between the PS3 and 360, look at Burnout Paradise that was designed for the PS3 and ported to 360. Dont see a huge difference, most games are made for the 360 and ported to the PS3 where the 360 version looks better.
I dont see much differneces between MSG4, GoW, CoD4 graphics wise. I am currently playing MGS4 and from what I have seen, so far it seems the 360 could handle it. As for Blu-Ray? They dont bother compressing, I suspect most of that data filling up the Blu Ray is just raw uncompressed data, it's just being lazy.
I doubt anyone but trolls on/. would argue for that equal time garbage. I am not saying "teach it" I am saying "teach against it" where a science teacher saying "kids, creatoinism as science is totally utter garbage"
It's blocking your digital rights from running your own server without paying. I'd say that's a DRM. With xbox live providing practically everything, but online play for free.
Point
I also don't see why Microsoft should consider lowering their prices, xbox owners will pay, they have no other choice when it comes to online gaming with the xbox.
Yes they have no other choice when it comes to online gaming with xbox but that does give some incentive snub the Xbox in favor of the PS3. They wont get all of em but they will get some, and that equals Microsoft losing customers and business to Sony. Yes Xbox Live is superior to PSN but PSN is catching up.
I don't know... Charging you to play online with your own hardware (you hosting a server) on software you have already bought with the internet connection you've already paid for would annoy me (I'm looking at you, xbox).
Thats not a DRM, thats another annoyance. It does look like with PSN catching up, Live will have to become free (or significantly cheaper) sooner than later.
I heard from someone from Dell that Intel had plans for 8 by the end of the year and 12 by June 09.
And we are in mid-September and only deliver 6? I guess thats what I deserve for trusting Dell rep's
Tsk tsk, PC gamers are so self-centered and idealistic sometimes
I'm a console gamer mostly these days, "limited installs" DRM has pretty much made me almost give up on PC gaming, as someone who likes to re-image his machine every 3-6 months.
Yes I know consoles have DRM too, but at least its not the type that goes out of its way to annoy me.
Good move, you know EA would have populated the market with yearey (or twice yearley) low quality GTA's and Bioshock's with Spore DRM (SecuROM).
They would figure most would just buy them anyways = more profit for them.
One thing that is really good for the industry out of all this, is this prevents EA Sports from monopolizing the sports genre.
EA recently spoke about trying to win back our hearts and shed this negative image people have about EA. However I must say that they are not doing it right. Yes they are introducing new interesting IP's such as Spore, Mirror's Edge and Dead Space. However they wont win any heats with hostile takeovers and horrible DRM!
If you dont like it, dont use it twitter! just use Konqueror
There's endless open browsers (icewesal, ephiphany, etc) out there to take your pick. You dont have to use firefox if you dont want to. You seem to miss one of the beauties of open source... more freedom of choice!
No not really, its more like attacking the terroist rather than pretend the terroist isn't there. Explain why creationism is bullshit, shoot the terroist.
I think this is getting out of propotion. I will give the guy the benefit of the doubt here. First all he said was "in certain classes, it can be appropriate to deal with the issue."
Sorry but "deal with the issue" is not the same as "teach creationism" to me. And he elaborated on it later after this happened, this is what he said.
"When young people ask questions about creationism in science classes, teachers need to be able to explain to them why evolution and the Big Bang are scientific theories but they should also take the time to explain how science works and why creationism has no scientific basis."
Now personally I love that idea. Stop creationism dead in it's tracks as an alleged "scientific theory"
Educate how science works and how creationism fails to meet the requirements to be scientific.
In Australia ripping DVD's is legal. Making backup copies your you own personal use weather its DVD's, CD's, games etc is not only legal its protected. Region locking (without allowing ways around it i.e. mod chips) is not compliant with Australian law.
Yes I was refering to the DS, sorry I should have specified, my bad. Yes the Wii does indeed play nicely with my WPA2.
The WiFi dongle I have running on a VirtualBox guest and it's ok, still a little bit of an inconvience switching on and off a virtual or plugging/unplugging the device. At least it tries to lock it down to certain Nintendo devices.
They didn't lift a finger to do something about home security. Encouraging people to switch their wifi networks to WEP! And for security issues "switch your computer off"? WTF? Doesn't solve the problem of internet leeching and the fact that its just bad security practice.
Lets hope this actually has a secure layer (that identifies the device other than the MAC address) and is not just a repackaged WEP based WAP.
And also, a better solution than a hard drive? I am interested in that one, I just hope it's not releasing new models with 4Gb of storgage that will make us buy new Wii's or live with the storage issues. I am wondering what they have up their sleave to solve this issue.
Psygnosis has been part of Sony since 1993, (Destruciton Derby & Wipeout)
SCE also published Grand Turismo, the PS1's highest selling game ever.
Twisted Metal, developed by Sony Interactive, published by SCE
Sony has been a games developer and publisher before they were a console maker, but they would actually promote 3rd party games, help out 3rd parties work out how to code for its hardware etc. Something Nintendo has never done. Nintendo was ALL about the 1st parties and treated the 3rd parties like dirt (still do) because Nintendo saw 3rd parties as competitors while Sony saw them as clients.
Sony just knew how to treat its clients and it was a win/win for both sides. Once FFXII made the jump to Sony, the tide turned and the rest is history.
I like Nintendo but they did deserve what happened to them. I see them making attempts to repair ties with 3rd parties but they could do alot better IMO

You're funny, I like you
Man that's COLD!!

Put up or shut up fanboy
Didn't you get the memo from Sony? The Wii doesn't really exist
Personally my fave is Twin Snakes, taking the first MGS and just giving it a major upgrade.
So what would you have developers use? Thats you know... avaliable.

Ah so you are a Treyarch developer are you?
Seriously those guys have no clue. Infinity Ward IS Call of Duty. A comparison between CoD3 and 2 & 4 will show that.
