| They don't because Payton never actually said that. What he said was:
"Well, it's not like it's something that comes as a shock for anyone that's been in the game industry for a couple of years. As development teams and studios get bigger and games become more complex and ambitious, it's inevitable that the costs of production are going to rise. The PlayStation brand has always been good to us, and we're pretty bullish on the PS3. I don't think any of us expect to return a profit within the first day, that would take over a million units sold."
More bullshit spin from the media. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Don't know what's up with the reply system. Anyways, in response to your question, Critical, they disclose the 40GB's lack of BC on the back of the box with the usual small print disclaimer language. It's not much, but it is there. In either case, you'd think people would at least do some research before they go out and drop $400 on a piece of hardware. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Because you're not next to your TV...that's the whole point. The PSP becomes a wireless gateway to your PS3's content, as well as your PC's content through DNLA, anytime you have a connection. Sitting in an airport waiting on a delayed flight? Punch into your PS3 and watch a movie. Don't have the song you want on your memory stick? Punch into your PS3 and listen to it. Unlimited access.

| | Think, my son. You're starting the PS3 with the PSP's WiFi connection. The PSP/PS3 also have Remote Play functionality. What this means is that you can access your PS3, and it's content, from anywhere you've got a connection. Flag this | Edit this post |

| » Wow...
Now, I obviously have no knowledge of the internal goings-on at Havok, but $110 million seems rather low. Havok has a quite a few licensees under it's belt, major players in the development industry. I can't imagine why Havok didn't ask for more. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Another worthless lawsuit. Someone should've told their lawyers that dual-core is a generic/descriptive term that literally describes Intel's product. Such names aren't protected under trademark law. Oops, looks like Intel wins. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | The study doesn't prove MMO players are more sociable at all. Quite the opposite actually. All it shows is what we already knew based on the typical MMO stereotype: MMO players are largely introspective people who stay within their own group. Being sociable involves going outside of your comfort zone. All these people did was meet fellow MMO players that they played with online, players, mind you, that they were able to discourse with in the comfort of their homes prior to actually meeting them in the real world.

| | You assume that. The more likely reason is that this is Epic's way of sticking it to Microsoft after they strong armed them over the Gears of War downloadable content and forced them to charge for it. Sony doesn't pay for exclusivity, certainly not timed exclusivity. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Makes me wonder if this suit has any validity whatsoever. It amazes me that it would take this company this long to file suit if their patents are really being infringed. Not like BD just appeared on the scene last month. Even more intriguing is that they don't have a damages calculation, one of the first things a patent attorney does in assessing an infringement claim. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Well if MS' lawyers are worth their money they'll move for summary judgment, or, more likely, dismissal of the suit with prejudice. I'm sure plaintiff's attorney will attempt to amend their complaint, but I'm sorry, if you can't even get a simple fact like the system you had in your house at the time of the fire (obviously not the 360), you don't deserve to be in court.
