I meant in terms of development time. The 360 takes next to no time to develop games for, because it's essentially a toned down C based coding language, and the hardware isn't terribly difficult to program for. The PS3 has a sophisticated architecture that takes time to program for, and to be...

It's cheaper, plain and simple. It makes business sense to develop for 360 in particular, because it's the cheapest platform to develop for. I think you're looking too far into the negative aspect of the whole issue here. Yes, I agree it's outrageously expensive, probably to the point of...

Releasing the DLC is not a bad idea, quite the opposite actually. The price, is ludicrous, but you have to understand that not every move made by developers is to push console sales, and really shouldn't be. DLC in general is really only meant to appeal to gamers who already have consoles and...

Bingo. Personally I don't see this coming to fruition. The market for used games is large, however it's pretty clear that the value is inflated by gamers who want to save money, not gamers that want games regardless of cost. If this were to happen, I could realistically see the market for...

Amazingly talented guy, and nice to boot. A truly sad loss.

Sounds like you've got a virus. Save time a reformat.

Sad state of affairs.

Wow. This is one of the first times I literally have no idea what the hell they were thinking. All of her music is synthesized, why the hell would they put that in Rock Band?

I'll go see him. Sounds good to me.

Download Cole2k codec pack. If that doesn't fix it the files you're trying to play are corrupt.

I'm with you there. Plus, it'll broaden the appeal of the game which I think is a really really good thing.

No worries, anytime bud.

They're all a rip-off, save your money.

Good on you, bud, sound like quite an evening :thumbsup:. I'd love to share a story like that of my own, but the OCSMs on here rarely come onto me. :1orglaugh (If any read this, give me a time and a place, and I'm there!) :rofl:

Which I found doubly funny since there are a dozen or so other photos of him looking the exact same, in varying levels of light.

Not to nitpick, but Porn on the Internet alone last year grossed in excess of $6 billion. But that really only goes to support your point, that porn is indeed profitable. Although I'm not 100% sure of the FreeOnes business model, most online businesses operate much in the same way: by the...

Full disclosure: The 2006 Oakland Athletics don't make the ALCS without Milton Bradley, so I've got to respect that, but that being said: Milton Bradley might just be the most idiotic baseball player in the history of the sport. I said last year his numbers would fall off, and they did. You...

He said he got some really shitty ************ cream for his face. :dunno:

This is a pretty dumb idea that would basically just be prone to a bunch of teams arguing why they should be in the same division as the worst teams in the league. Too much could go wrong here.

Yeah, the concept for such a game has been around for a couple of years, but nothing has solidified yet. Dhani Harrison, however has stated multiple times that this is his major goal for the franchise in the near future, so while it may not be this iteration, it will definitely be a part of the...

I didn't mean to imply they were lost in their direction. I chose my words poorly, and merely meant to say that this is really indicative of the number of things Sony had brought to the baseball genre of gaming.

I don't see how that's any different than what I explained. The guy presents an opinion, and it takes the intellectual prowess of a 4th grader to recognize that. I don't disagree that he shies away from that, but that really just means he's good at selling his opinion. I mean it would take an...

Bell would most certainly be better, and especially since Cleveland is a division rival, it's probably going to cost the twins much more than what Kerry Wood is worth. At this point, I'm not sure, barring them being willing to deal one of their top three prospects, that they have the pieces to...

Sure, that sounds fine. I don't know how much time I can dedicate to it, but if you just need another person, I could probably help out.

English is just spin on the cue ball. Basically boils down to how you strike the cue ball, the angle and pressure you use etc...

I don't think there is any real debate over his films: they're his opinion pure and simple. There's really nothing more to it than that.

Although I'm very much in the minority among hardcore Rock Band fans, I really enjoyed The Beatles Rock Band, and hope that Dhani Harrison can in fact bring to life the real instrument aspect of guitar in this years' iteration.

I'm honestly not surprised by how stupid she is anymore. In the end, she's dumb as a fucking rock, and isn't worth the attention people give her. End of story.

While he primarily relies on his fastball, Nathan's bread and butter is his slider. He threw it almost 31% of the time last year, which is pretty high for a reliever. He's been throwing breaking stuff regularly for his entire career. I'd be willing to wager his injury has to do a lot more...

If you need a replacement, I'd be glad to step in. Sound good? :D

Pretty neat stuff. :thumbsup:

Interesting list. Good find!

I wouldn't be too sure of that. Bad Company 2 did outsell Modern Warfare 2 last week, but you've got to figure that's probably just because Bad Company was just released. Looks like most of the estimates have Bad Company at about 1.2 million sold, and Modern Warfare 2 at about 900,000. One of...

Good for Conan. I've heard rumblings he's going to be getting a live show soon.

Well, hello nurse! :1orglaugh

I'm seeing more and more of this game, and I'm liking it about a thousand times more each time I see it.

I think Activision really made a big mistake getting this whole fiasco started. Infinity Ward has consistently been one of the biggest innovators in the gaming world since the early days of the X-Box, and it's sad to see that even after all they've done, they're not getting the respect they...

That's absolutely awful to hear, and I'm very sorry to hear it. Your presence here on the board has revealed you to be a very sweet and thoughtful person, and I can only hope that the other members on the board can be supportive during this trying time for you. Keep your head up, things will...

If you don't mind watermarks, gifsoup.com will do it for you. Jasc Animation Shop will do it too.

I'm willing to bet this is really just a vulnerability that the apps inadvertently exploited, and Apple is trying to work on a fix in the meantime.

To be fair, Apple's MacBook line is a solid line, but again, as with anything from Apple, you're going to pay a premium price. Personally, save for jailbroken iPods/iPhones, I avoid all of the other iPod like products, simply because I don't agree with Apple telling me what software I can and...

The global failure rate of the 360 from its launch to approximately April of 2008, while still an estimate, is around 50%, but that's all from extrapolating results from 4 studies of less than 20,000 consoles. While I'm not necessarily disagreeing that the rate is high, it's tough to say what...

To be honest, I'm not sure Apple is deserving of any praise for this. Sure, they did launch the audit and took care of all that it entailed, however the rationale is somewhat suspicious. Apple has a terrible track record when it comes to conditions in supply chains, and really this whole audit...

Certainly if time if the only concern, X-Box falls behind, but that's sort of the nature of the *****. Then again, you are getting your system essentially fixed for free. If your PS3 has hardware issues, for the most part, you're out of luck. More specifically, in this case, if you lose your...

I thoroughly enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2. Much more variation, and a pretty damn good overall story. Highly recommend it.

Honestly, this is the type of game that makes me think Sony is headed in the right direction. The game looks amazing, and I might actually go out and get a new PS3 for myself just to play that.

Sure, you have to send the console in. But, in my view as somebody who has worked within the hardware and software engineering industries, software bugs like this are inexcusable. Hardware issues certainly don't get a free pass, however with software, it indicates a negligence on the part of a...

Don't let Sony off that easy. I'm not justifying the fanboys coming out to play, but I have to be honest, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. The exact same thing happened with Microsoft and their Zune players last year, and Sony didn't even think to make sure the same wouldn't...

I'll GameFly it, but it already looks beyond disappointing. The million dollar perfect game contest is garbage. The rules are absolutely ludicrous. There's absolutely no comparison. I gave my PS3 to my nephew two years ago, and although he's since traded it in for a newer model, I can tell...

To be honest, porn video games don't sell anywhere near as well enough to be profitable. Making games pornographic means you can't sell it the way you can regular games, (that is on normal store shelves), and publishers don't want to deal with the hassle. That, and both Sony and Microsoft have...
