| I'm sure this is exactly this what they're trying to prevent. Your "one copy" for "several PCs" that you "will not 'buy'".
I played lots of StarCraft LAN with my friends years ago. Not one of us had a legit copy.
I don't think online-only MP is a deal breaker for the vast majority of PC gamers these days, with WoW under their belt, Blizzard should know. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Forget music and photos, I've got over 4.5TB of DVDs, HD-DVDs, and BluRays on my server (all legally purchased, nyeh). SSDs aren't going to replace that anytime soon, though for a standard boot drive I would consider one. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I suppose moving the shoulder buttons around is a plus, other than that it looks like something that could just clip on the existing controller.
Oh, they also moved the cord exit from the bottom to the top. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Of course, he ALSO said "the 360's the better platform."

"What you can say really quite clearly and not get into too much argument about it is that the 360 is much easier to develop for, it's easier to get the performance out of it that it can deliver, and the rasterizer, the GPU side is generally faster than what the PS3 has,"
"You could design a game where the PS3 would be the superior platform, but you'd have to go out of your way to do it. If you're doing a game like people just want to do games now, the 360's the better platform."
"If you were doing a whole lot of simulation, you can in theory get more performance out of the Cell processor than out of the two other dual-thread processors on the 360, but that's a big 'in theory',"
"the fact that Blu-ray won the format wars on there is a huge feather in Sony's cap, and then we wind up with cases like what we're seeing right now where having all the extra space on the Blu-ray may be a useful thing for us above the fact that the hardware's not quite as good in terms of what it can do with the processing."
they're "both really good". "That's why any time that people make comments one way or the other about the consoles, it's easy to leave aside of the fact that it's the best that it's ever been in any generation in terms of support capabilities and all that."
"360 is our primary target". "We're developing on the PC, but we have 360 controllers on all the PCs." Flag this | Edit this post |

| Gee, and what does Sony announce today? 80GB PS3 for $399 in September.
Although it's supposed to be with the "current functionality" of the 40GB, so probably no backwards compatability, no card read, fewer USB ports, etc. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | The site says "Metal Gear on the NES was the first video game to fully utilize stealth as part of the gameplay", and I have to agree it was an integral part of the game (first or not, I don't know, but they ARE talking about the NES version). Plus it was a top down game, not a side-scroller :P Flag this | Edit this post |

| | OK, I despise smoking, but this article cites absolutely nothing linking smoking to the Wii laser problems. He just starts off saying the problem may be linked to smoke (a statement seemingly pulled from his nether regions), then writes a standard bit on the laser problems, and caps it off with a lame nicotine joke. Seems more like a personal crusade than real journalism. What can you expect though, they also filed the article under "local coverage". Flag this | Edit this post |
