The difference is a leaked 360 version will have next to no impact on sales, since such a small percent of 360 owners have modded consoles.

The ease of PC piracy is nothing like the hassle of modding a console.

This crap needs to end.

If you change the hardware or add shaders or whatever, its a different card. So stop reusing the same name for new cards.

And if you don't change the hardware or add shaders or whatever, its not a different card. So stop reusing the same card with different names.

Traditional channel surfing died with onscreen channel guides. Even if channel changes were instantaneous, hitting channel up/down repeatedly to see what's on is completely inefficient.

Heh, if you read your PM correctly you'd see it said this is not the new dashboard.

I'm pretty sure they do this every time: there's an update before the update that doesn't appear to do anything, but does some sort of behind the scenes stuff that prepares for the actual update sometime later.

Because instead of doing that, they could not do that. Seems like an easy choice.

I don't think many MMOs would have a problem generating enough monthly income to offset their monthly upkeep costs. Its recouping the money spent on developing the game that is the killer. WoW spent 5 years in development, after all.

Personally, I love the king. Any company that would make their mascot deliberately creepy and molester-ly is OK in my book. This particular commercial wasn't really anything great, but it was clear they were setting the scene for their commercials to come.

Heh, good luck selling these. 95% of music videos aren't worth watching more than once (and most not even that much) so I don't know why you'd buy them.

Thriller is an exception.

As one of the 5 people on earth with a first gen 360 that hasn't ever red ringed, I just hope that when it finally does, they replace it with a quieter one. Anyone know if they turned the fan down on these ones with smaller chips?

There's a reason they called the new company activision-blizzard instead of activision-vivendi. Namely that blizzard was all they really wanted.

id's new engine was designed from the start to work across PC/360/ps3 platforms. They strategy isn't likely to be much different than epic's.

Considering bungie was teasing their announcement all week long, it looks like MS pulled the plug at the last minute. Perhaps they got wind of what was coming from nintendo/sony?

Makes sense to me actually. Sony and Nintendo had nothing big to announce, so MS' FFxiii announcement alone was enough to trump the other guys.

Hold off the bungie announcement until they need some more press; it will probably be further along by then anyway.

Is the PCI bus even fast enough for any of those cards to be faster than each other?

First off, since when has any Blizzard game impressed graphically? They've always avoided cutting edge graphics. WoW is their most graphically advanced game and that'll run on pretty much any machine you can find. My roommate actually played it for a year on the integrated graphics of his nforce1 mobo. The strategy has seemed to have worked out for them so far.

Anyway, it looks like diablo, much in the same way starcraft 2 looks like starcraft. I have no complaints. Remember that out of the box, Diablo 2 was a 2d game at 640x480 resolution. It took the expansion's arrival to bring us 800x600, and that's as good as it ever got.

People forget that the game's graphics were poor even for the time, because the game was just so much damn fun. I imagine it will be somewhat similar this time around (though not nearly as ugly) when Blizzard eventually releases this game in 2014.

Good card from amd, good counter from nvidia. Should be interesting to see what actual street prices end up at, and what the 4870 has to offer.

Reached for comment, Blizzard says "That's adorable" and believes their sales-touting press release to be "the cutest little thing."

This is the second firingsquad GTA article where I've agreed entirely with the argument, and disagreed entirely with the conclusion. The realism and brutality of Niko are the reason I'm playing this game. I feel like I have to know how things turn out for him, and if there's any redemption for him.

The silliness and much lighter feel around Vice City are why I ultimately never finished it.

Seconding the complaints about driving camera (I don't like its angle, needs to be higher) and mission replay points. The auto aim hasn't screwed me over yet.

Interesting list of cons you have there.

If I had to list the game's strengths, I'd say its much more story driven than the previous games, the satire is fantastic across the board and now its easier to escape the cops.

Agreed. If you want your GT to be faster, dual slot and willing to pay a few dollars more, you want a GTS. evga already sells a gts with higher clocks than this for less money. And you get the extra stream processors.
