    It's pretty much the textbook definition of confirmation bias, Tuco - he wanted to see the answer he came to so he found that loose justification.

    A) 360 only shipped to the US initially, didn't it? B) 360 was the only system that launched in its timeframe, didn't it? C) 360's initial product available was higher regardless of ease of manufacture (and they did skip a number of QA checks on 360 - RROD existed for a reason...) - and...

    "a shell of it's past self" is "going away" (Atari 2600 has never "gone away" if you really want to be technical... still specialty stores that sell them to this day) - you really should try to be an expert on FOX you certainly doublespeak like one... Either phrasing is still "The sky is...

    Online stock has gotten pretty solid the last week or so, Sean. Finally - after 4-5 months. B&M is still nonexistant that I've seen.

    It's moot - if something is "dead" or "dying" or "hurting" or whatever in one market and it's healthy in the rest - it's still pretty damn healthy. You're going all "FOXNews" style on this nonsense - you're taking an argument you invented, take a ton of corner statistics to prove and and ignore...

    Also, "North America" only - funny thing I thought most games sold worldwide.... except Indies that can't afford to get language conversions.

    The amount of stupid in that article is pretty astounding - quoting Infinite as if its development was of normal cost when saying "4 million sales wasn't enough to keep the company afloat" (Not to mention has it ever been stated it wasn't profitable? The stuff I read made it sound like it got...

    No way they'd have two anti-PVP starters - its probably just the new version of Fog Ring.

    Really? HB is on Broad City? Sonuvabitch, I've got a show to add to the queue and catch up on. He kind of reminds me of a black Stephen Wright - which has been a style of comedy I've really felt a drought of recently. (Besides S. Wright's recent work... but he's not doing much anymore that was...

    If you're small like they appear to be, usually not - since you get stuff from secondary distributors rather than the companies themselves when you're that small there's usually no repercussions. (Although the distributor if the publisher tracks down which distributor sent product out early...

    On the note of PS+ and Tomb Raider though - if the sales of TR have picked up how many does the PS+ "freebies" count towards that since it's one.

    Eh, relatively easy - get a lawyer - wait between 1 to 5 years with a few doctors visits that you probably needed anyhow. Time consuming is the main thing. Wasn't trying to imply it was easy though - but it sounds like the most sensible path for him in the longrun. (Although that's for D/A...

    How poor are we talking? And being that I've not used the website personally (Medicare) I'm not sure what terminology it falls under - the subsidy isn't a tax credit for sure though - could be a "cost sharing reduction". Also what state are you in? (Does effect where the subsidy starts in...

    No, subsidies are Federal - expanded Medicaid is completely separate. (Note: Subsidies won't apply to you if you're on Medicaid or Medicare though - besides the old ones that already existed - also I don't THINK they apply to secondary insurance [although their value outside of Medicare seems...

    Verizon sucks ass plenty of places, so if they were referencing Verizon being harder to root being the cost of good service - they're quite misinformed as well.

    Yea, if it was $30 discount I'd probably bite for that since I need to get the wifes before DA3 for absolutely sure which is plausible. I'll have to keep an eye.

    I'm dubious, but we'll see what they manage, it should at the least be PASSABLE before it wasn't remotely passable even.
