Think that kinda goes both ways, the 360 never dug out of the hole profit-wise of the original Xbox, while the PS3 burned up all PS2 profits and dug an insurmountable hole ensuring it will never be profitable.

"oh, i killed you again,oops" - our Magika experience

Yeah, they just announced/started that in the last couple of weeks. Can't stand their brand new site though.

The USB connected to a wireless controller only provides power, even on a 360. As mentioned above you need one of these:http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wirel.../dp/B000HZFCT2

Sorkin said on John Stewart that the controversy this season is based off ofhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tailwind. Personally wasn't familiar with this, so thought I'd post a link.

lol from The Onion:Nation Hoping 'The Newsroom' Ends Before Trayvon Martin Storyline

Have a Dreamcast, but skipped the PS2 because of EQ.

Last week we peeled out all the expansion content and played vanilla Battlestar Galactica. Never realized how much all the expansion mechanics got in the way of good old-fashioned paranoia. Great game, and for like the 4th time the guy who had never played before was a Cylon. That may have to...

2nd Comic Zeal, had its own sync program and everything if I remember correctly so no dealing with itunes.

Yeah, I think the media was a little quick to jump on that headline. I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch the authorized devices bit and copy the 360 method - have to be signed in at all times (and thus online) if not on the console the content was purchased on. So actually more restricted...

Don't think that matters much outside certain areas of the country.

Filled out a survey the other day that mentioned teraforming, subways, larger or unrestricted landmasses among other things. Edit: related article -http://m.pcgamer.com/2013/07/05/leaked-simcity-survey-hints-at-some-potential-futures-including-offline-mode

I'd focus on the remote play and nothing else, it's definitely a handheld about managing expectations and even on PS3 they couldn't keep things like cross-controller (using Vita as a controller) cross-buy (buying for PS3 got you a Vita copy/version) and cross-play (have to buy 2 games, but saves...

I was nagged about my searches going to Bing or something either during the update or before my first search.

'i have 10 more fights' = I'd retire but I'm under contract?

Fuck yeah.

'im losing this round so far, keep hitting me'

Yeah... I know I've been 'new' to MMA for a couple years at this point and don't keep up with day to day stuff or events, but I've never even heard of this guy.

They had an ota attachment in EU too. I think they have a better ota standard over there so it never made much sense to bring it to the US with channels scattered all over uhf/vhf here.

Details on the reputation system on Xbox One:http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/0...tation-system/ Basically players of similar reputation levels will be grouped together for games where possible. This means all the idiots that scream and play music/memes/etc will sink to the bottom and get...

Having to explain the timers in a blog rather than having one on the page with the deals is really interesting from a web development/content delivery standpoint.

The "2015 for cloud" thing is just how long it's going to take to finish build out of the Iowa data center, they have a lot of existing infrastructure already in place for Azure as it's been a product/service for years. There's no point having the infrastructure to support 10s of millions of...

Anyone like the idea of "No DRM!" sales but at the same time wish they had options for a Steam key anyways? I've forgotten games I've bought at Amazon and Direct2drive before because they're not on my Steam list and for some reason didn't have the time to install them at purchase.

I like myW700but can see why people would want to wait for newer/slimmer hardware with similar/better performance. It's a nice tablet though as long as the weight and stuff aren't a problem, I typically take it out of the case (which came with it) if I'm going to use it for longer periods...

I have a hard time seeing them waiting until the day after the 4th to start their sale, even with previous precedents. Seems silly. It should start tomorrow (if not today) just to get buzz-level to 11 and word out that it's begun (and get the kinks out of whatever system they use to promote...

Unless they were one of the 'participating retailers' and had been able to sell/buy used games. Case in point, impressions like the above are why we don't have a hybrid of what they were offering and instead we'll get some form of it later as an option.

That's nice, but the publishers aren't going to burn retailers like that. Until then I expect those who want to go all digital will essentially pay a premium to do so, while those who want digital and a lower price day one as a reward for doing so will be left wanting (me included).

I have no expectation of this, my only hope is that competition with PSN+ dictates more reasonable and realistic digital pricing/sales. Really the only way I see online day 1 digital being less than full MSRP is if you buy the voucher or something from a retailer. Maybe in the long run w/...

In case someone is interested in legit-bought digital comics... every issue of the newest X-Force for $49. http://www.comixology.com/Uncanny-X-...eries/bundle/4 Some really good stories there.

I think they'll pivot to some of these options in the fairly near future post-launch, but going to them now rather than the simplified mea culpa would just cause more confusion. I've still seen people say they don't allow used games and you have to be always online and neither were ever true.

Probably grab the Vita games because they're $5, they're not sports games though so even then I hesitate because they'll probably be free via PSN+ at some point

I don't see them ever giving away a ton of content on 360 since they don't require your to maintain a subscription to access it. Remains to be seen how comparable the services will end up being on the next gen consoles.

Above updates all complete.

This is the latest signature in my 'collection' - though really I do this kind of stuff as a fan rather than as a collector since my books are probably more valuable as kindling (hence the lack of sealed grading, etc, it's in pretty poor shape anyways). Aside from the obvious Stan Lee...

Vita risk is much lower if you can grab one used from Craigslist or something. If the remote play ends up not being all that practical then I'm only in for $150 and a handful of games I've bought on clearance. I'm not investing much else in the system other than the free games they're...

Also, if you have any problems running things right after installing 8.1, be sure to install and windows updates. Steam wouldn't work until I did, for example.

Really like the new store UI so far in 8.1, as well as the reworked search too.

Used Ares (which some friends and I plucked from a mythology encyclopedia or something for call signs at Ultrazone, a laser tag place... between the 3 of us we had the Mars system covered, Ares, Deimos, Phobos) for a while until the god became popular on Xena and it started popping up...

Yeah, was glad to hear both consoles will be doing that.

I think it's probably way too early to conclude that MS isn't going to step up the offerings with Live to be more competitive with what Sony started doing w/ PSN+. The other side of that, we need to see how Sony will integrate some of their other services like the Ustream stuff, streaming of...
