The video game itself was tedious, but the that mini game off the main menu where you could hack the terminal was awesome good fun. Without checking YouTube first, I say aloud to no-one that a cut together edit of all of the cinemas would be nice to watch through. Now I just need to care enough this much later to bother looking.

Oh yes, and I RTFA about them using IR.

Given how every other video game system camera fails to work correctly in typical home lighting environments, this is the thing I'm most curious about.

For instance in my home, when we want to use the Eye Toy to play something like Kinetic, we have to drag out a shop-light and a couple of reflectors to stage the room and assist the contrast detection. Otherwise, the accuracy is garbage. If this thing can't work in a dark room then this also pretty much kills playing games in a room with the lights out (which is how I generally play racing games and FPS games at night).

My expectations are less than low and I'm just waiting to hear about how ever single player to use the system will need to have a Live account (with your avatar adjusted to R/L body mass).

Someone earlier in the thread already called it 22 minutes before you :P

40 minutes to solve this? Seriously... what is this world coming to? ... I keeeed, I keeeed!

That picture looks an awful lot like CID 6.7

It's got electrolytes! It's what Bees crave!

Free publicity nothing. The publisher had to pay licensing to all of those auto manufactures in order to get the cars into the game. This was why they were hamstrung over the damage issue. If it was a case where the auto company was begging for inclusion to the publisher then the publisher would have leverage to approve damage.

What's ridiculous about this is BMW shocked everyone a few years ago when they ran that series of ads where their cars are in chases and get totally trashed and they played it for all it's worth on how much of a beating their cars can take and still kick ass. BMW actually got positive viewer reaction out of those ads for their product proving that this notion that you can't show your car dinged is extra special ridiculous.

Actually that's not entirely accurate. Many SOHO routers allow for QoS or IP blocking for handling things like blocking your kids from MySpace. I know every Linksys router I recall ever owning has the ability to do this because I've had to block my kids access to one site or another over the years when we were having problems with grades, etc...

FWIW, I just fired up my PS3 and refused the 2.01 update (I never played the game online anyways) and no advertisements. I know the other site is saying that it may not be tied to the update but unless I start seeing them I'll conclude that it is.

So, that settles that. I'm not buying the DLS or accepting the 2.01 update.

Yeah, but I believe you have a limited time to request a chargeback don't you?

I don't think advertising has any impact on ratings unless the nature of the advertisement is mature content and the game is rated for everyone. I haven't seen the ad yet so we'll have to see.

This is only going to work if the ad server is not on Sony's delivery system.

And here I was planning to buy the DLC this week. I'm seriously reconsidering that idea. :(

I think if we want to protest this, refuse to buy the expansion release. Unfortunately the reality is you'll likely end up in the minority as most of the sheeple out there don't care enough to fight this.
