Well with AI taking over the "ridiculously high paying jobs" that would balance things out a bit here in North America, it would be the end of the world for corporate fatcats. Something i actually look forward to

Features like this should have been integrated into Linux and Windows years ago....if they cared enough to do it.

Too many people are developing rude habits these days. Manners 101 should be mandatory, especially for preteens and teens. CBC's Doczone does a good episode on this exact topic too... one example being what has happen to "the children should be seen and not heard". I don't have a problem with children but when you are at someones house and they have kids and they let theirs kids run around ramped AND shout at the top of their lungs and interrupt non-stop when you are trying to have an adult conversation with another adult. That didn't happen back before the 70's. Like really if your going to let your kids run around while there is company over visiting, they should know well enough to quite down...or go play in their rooms if they wish to be loud.

This is a good thing, that means more bandwidth and lower ping times for people who play 360 games, who wants to play halo 2 instead of halo 3 though? IMO halo 3 kicks the crap out of 2 any day of the week, looks better, plays better, is better. There is no excuse to NOT own a 360 by now, they have been out for 5 years and are dirt cheap.

I have never had that happen on my 360 (i cant speak for the ps3) but i install the game to the hard drive. The only game i have ever had that happen on was Saints row and i got took it back to the store after 20 min.

50 a year my bad.

Right now, it might just be wiser to go buy a 360 or a ps3....and grab gta4....it would cost the same as buying a new processor, at least then the game would run perfect.

Honestly, i can't see the "free" service being a reason to purchase either or. This is coming from a owner of both console. I got a 360 to play my games on, and a ps3 to play blu-rays and ps3 exclusives (mgs4 mainly...i got the mgs4 bundle for this sole reason). Reason for this is because the 360 has better graphics with a slightly more vibrant image when it comes to games. Yeah the PSN has a 'O.K" network, but Xbox Live trump's it in almost every way, add-on's cost more on PSN anyways to top it off. Live just costs a whole whopping $50 a month. Reasons to purchase these devices should be on their notable hardware features/capability, but not the most irrelevant thing like the "network access fee"...sheesh...some people.

I'm a owner of what some might call a "Lemon", its a 2000 ford focus, uh yeah its known to be a real dud, but my E-brake literally locks my rear tires, even if i'm driving and use it, it works great for e-brake slides around some corners. If anything the E-brake should lock your tires at 70mph and cause them to either leave long black streaks and possibly blow, or slow you down while leaving a long black streak

Does this include funding for nuclear fusion projects in the US? Or just the current fission reactor based technology? One scientist said there's a 50% chance of fusion becoming a reality 20 years after it gets serious funding. I agree with him

Well these day's you have too many people who prefer to just stand around and observe rather than step in and prevent someone from getting killed or beaten to death. From the way i understand this law, those bystanders who chose to do nothing are also held responsible and are required to pay a fine. Which I believe is right, because there is no excuse in the world to not step in and prevent something from happening, especially if its a group of bystanders who don't step in.

The PS3 actually works amazingly well with Windows 7 media sharing ability, why someone would want to go to such lengths as to use a 3rd party app just blows me away. Microsoft sure went all out when it comes to the media sharing in Win7, its flawless IMO, there's no slowdowns, refreshing the media library and adding new files takes seconds in WMP12. Pretty much every format that the PS3 supports will play back with out any issues...I use mkv2vob for my mkv's and for anything that isn't an mkv and does not happen to play on the PS3, i just use RipBot264 and make a h264 MP4 file. I have found that 3rd party apps only use up ram, slow shit down and sometimes don't work properly at all. Win7+WMP12 seem to be perfect for sharing media to the PS3 and the 360 (i own both consoles).

Uhh...What happened to just using Windows 7 to stream media??? It works without flaws, know your formats, mkv2vob converts all your mkv's into a ps3 format....which are streamed using WMP12's media sharing ability. For formats that don't work....there are such things called RipBot264 to convert files into a h264 MP4 container with AAC-LC 5.1 audio in just a few hours. I seriously have never had any issue with the default media sharing built into Windows 7, i can honestly say it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Heres the thing many people fail to realize, and yet it is the most simple concept to grasp. That the games are intended to be fun, and they are, Fallout 3 is among the best, MW2 kicks ass, i play that every day, but im not picky in FPS games, i can kill anyone with any gun, im a gamer, a true gamer. If earning your ranks and the priv to use certain firearms in a game is a hindrance to you then i suggest simply go back to packman and leave real gamers play our games. These so called "RPG" elements let us play the game in a different style every time, I think the clone wars in multiplayer games is long over. Let the dev's figure out what way to take it, i am confident in the routes they will take, they know what they are doing or else they wouldn't still be in the business. The consumer is not always right (in this case, the basement troll is not always night, and never is for that fact)
