Not so much hate but I just can't bring myself to care at all about Kingdom Hearts. It's just a kid wandering aimlessly through some Disney movies.

Star Wars is the best. I still think it's unfair to compare the two but woot for Star Wars.

I do remember a time when you couldn't get hardly any PC games to work without a bit of finesse. Of course that was back when windows 95 was brand new. Another issue with PC vs. Console I'd like to bring up is the multiple logins and accounts. I've gotten a little tired lately of managing my EA account, Ubi account, and other games which all have their own DRM download managers and such. XBL eliminates all that crap and just gives you a singular online presence.

There was a 2 year gap between the original DS and PSP and their lite versions. If you want to wait 2 years you can but I'm not going to. If the new one is really much improved you can usually trade up for not too much money.

I'd say that gap is slightly wider, but not much. I'd also argue that that slight gap is enough to turn a lot of people off to PC gaming.

So it's confirmed that the Wii U can only do one Wii U controller at a time and that seems like it'll be the death of this system. Multiplayer will be limited to Wiimotes and that'll kill off any cool features for it.

Target clearance is such a crapshoot. People are always posting their finds on CAG but there's never anything good in the Dallas area.

No, but most games on PC these days require internet activation.

I disagree that consoles have gotten more difficult to use. It's still just as easy as plugging it in, turning it on and playing the game. If you bother to go online you're going to need a few more clicks but there's still no requirement to take any console online unlike PCs.

Yeah, I'm sure it's considerable. That's the exact same reason why milk and eggs are always in the very back of the store. Also, when I worked at Circuit City, the cost to the store for a game was about $52 so that made actual profit about $8 on a $60 game. This isn't awful but Gamestop gives $30 trade in "credit" for a game and then sells it for $55 which is a much better profit and on top of that they're only giving away credit so it's even better for them. It's why they've been so successful where other game stores have failed.

Selling accessories is where the money is. Stores will still be around to sell cases and screen protectors and such. It's why they sell iPods even though there's no software for iPods. It'll be the same with game consoles soon. I'd think they'd like not having to stock games since those are almost no profit anyway.

I can't argue with the PC gamers, I am one. I'm just trying to explain to you that people love simplicity. They love to do as little work as possible. I'm fairly certain that with minimal effort anyone could be a PC gamer. With minimal effort anyone could use a regular MP3 player too but iPod destroyed everything because it was so easy and so stylish. Console games are like that. A guy who wants to play Madden is going to sit down on his Xbox because it's what's hip and he doesn't have to exert himself at all (and madden isn't on PC anymore). I get the arguments that PC gaming isn't really that inaccessible or expensive, but the fact is that it takes slightly more work and it's slightly more expensive to start off and for a lot of people that makes all the difference.

yeah, they're probably standard flash roms built into a special case probably with some encryption on it. I bet the would go with a larger size in order to help keep those things as cheap as possible. Flash carts kind of suck because you know the price to manufacture those things is never going to come down below $10 or so and that's considerably more than it costs to stamp out a disc. Personally I think Sony would love to push the digital distribution side and save some of that cost. If they want to do that though they'd be smart to pass some of that savings on to the customer as most customers will prefer the physical media.

hahaha! I remember coming home with my N64 and freaking out because it didn't have an RF adapter. We thought for sure we weren't going to be able to play but thankfully we found out we could run it through the inputs in the VCR. That would have been an awful day too because N64s were super hard to find for a while.

I would have to have been drinking a lot of alcohol for it to look that blurry.

PSVita games being $40 is gold. Solid gold sir.

It's not always possible/convenient to have your PC next to your TV. Also, consoles are still less of a hassle than computers with the possible exception of steam. I will say the purchase and play method steam uses to install and update all the games seamlessly is about as close to painless as can be.

Old PS3 says hi. Also it's funnier having a console that's compatible with 2nd generation old system but not the last generation.

Tron is like people who know nothing about computers or movies or videogames making a movie based on computers and videogames. Deresolution eh? Are you trying to say deletion?

Well, add "crashing hard" to the list of things that droid does. After a couple of hours the screen all blurred up very bad and began shaking a lot. Back to Verizon it goes.
