No third party software really turns it off for me. There're so many other alternative smartphones with 3G out there, at a lower price.

Your comparison is off - the Genesis was the early entrant in that war, with the SNES coming in late (possibly because Nintendo did not want to cut into their 8-bit games with the SNES). The Genesis also had a wider install base.

At least get your facts straight first.

Seconded, HG:L and Spore are great.

The most anticipated MMO to me is WAR, considering it's attempting a break from EQ/WoW's PvE with PVP slapped on top.

Engadget says Hitachi will release a 1tb drive in Q1 2007.

So, maybe, put a keyboard and mouse into the console - I bought them for my dreamcast, but I hear that these fancy shmancy new 'uns can even take standard USB!

Input design is always a tricky problem. Some games are more suitable for certain input devices than others. Try playing a fighting game on a keyboard, for example.

Yoshi, we all know you love the 360 like you would your ancestors and dearly want it to win the "console wars", but associating DRM with consumer friendliness by saying it was "broken" is like saying a condom can be used to aid human reproduction because you can make a hole in it.

Have they verified that the decrypter works and can't have its keys revoked?

FFXI is on PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Phantasy Star Universe is not really an MMO, but it's available on PS2 and 360 too.

They've had a track record of releasing updates for VF on consoles though - and this time, they can patch it through network updates.

Hard to say, though.

You should give them more of a chance. Especially VF4:FT, they've been continually tuning the system since VF2.

Yay Sony!
Because we know DRM is the best solution, and the more invasive the better, right?

Unfortunately wasn't as fun as Zelda or even Ewoks on steroids by themselves.

Decent game on its own rights, just... not spectacular.

Have you given 12 a go? I found that even judged on its own rights, it's a solid title.

In other news scientists have discovered that water is wet, and...

nevermind, heh.

How many of us are actually surprised? No? Sounds about right.

KOF XII is Taito-TypeX2, which is actually an Embedded Windows PC, so I hope we'll be seeing a PC port of that too, hahah.

Considering that the original version runs on essentially what is a 3ghz P4 with a 6800 and 1gb of ram (SEGA Lindbergh), I hope we'll see a PC port of this one day.

Have to disagree, it's easy enough to hook up an arcade stick to a PC. I've got my custom Sanwa connected via a PS2 adaptor.

If you consider how simple WoW's armour models are this does appear significantly better.
