I don't know enough about India to comment.

I do know that they have a bunch of jobs there that used to be in America, so I can't say that they're poor per se if those jobs gave them a lifestyle increase; even if it's at a lower wage.

I also can't call the thieves poor if they have the tech to distribute software or are stealing the software to resell it themselves; then that's just a bunch of thieves undercutting Microsoft. I would go as far to say if it was a person that is taking it for themselves and not selling it, but giving it to people in need and had no other way of affording it, I could turn a blind eye to that.

Again, Software isn't a "needed" thing for most people in that area or people in general: Food, clean water, clothes, and a comfortable place to sleep are essentials. Yet, I would go this far: if it was for essential communications or something that tech was essential for survival, then yes, I would call that a needed thing. Stealing software to not have any plans of buying it legit later or to play games is not a good reason.

Stealing something that you don't need because you can't get it is just like saying that an ugly person has the right to rape supermodels because they can't woo or attract them.

But Microsoft isn't thinking right themselves.

MS ought to release a free version with modules you can buy for cheap that's simplified versions of their software, that would put a huge dent in illegal sales.

I have a moral dilemma with this subject, but I always try to favor the poor if I can. View

Or the title. View

*snickers* View

Another great and wise decision based upon hype and sales. View

Not to mention other games like the recently released Mega Man, Flow, anything Pixel Junk.

I admire your desire to want to push the software, Igarashi; but I would also say that if well done, and really pushing the GPU and abilities of each console, I think it can be acceptable in your eyes. View

If you look at picture 7, you can see the box in the background, which looks like it was crushed; so it probably was because of shipping.

This article is misleading and damaging to Microsoft's reputation for no good reason. View

And this game won Best Multiplayer Game for what reason now? View

...a great trailer for things to come; if and when Bungie decides to reveal gameplay, they will.

Until then, all I have to say is it is an awesome trailer and I can't wait until the game comes out! View

Take my advice in video form.

Oh, you didn't like my joke? View

they make a lot as well, hey, sure; why not?

But I didn't mean to make it a "money" thing because it's already been established that The Simpsons aren't wealthy at all, and I wasn't calling the 360 a "poor man's console", it was just that because since the price of the PS3 was at first expensive, a lot of people still think of "money" when you bring up the fact that you own a PS3.

Besides the PS3 is so cheap now that almost anyone can (and probably will this month) buy it. View

Gee whiz, you could have taken it as a joke like it was intended; but since you want to push outdated facts and skewed info, then sure; I'm game. Let's see what you said, point for point.

- Getting headshots with the 360 analog sticks is way to easy. But if you can pull one off with that PS3 controller you're a gaming god.

* There's no difference between the sensitivity of the two except that the 360's controller has a little more resistance; if you actually played with one before, you'd know. Furthermore, since the 360's controller isn't symmetrical, it's not the best controller for FPS, period, especially since you're always hyper-extending your left thumb.

- PS3's multiplats are much blurrier than the 360 versions, making gaming in general a lot harder on the PS3 because you can't see as well.

* A. The 360's best exclusives are much blurrier, smaller, and less detailed than the PS3's best exclusives, especially when comparing similar games. Prove me wrong; you're talking to someone who's played more than one console.

* B. Saboteur's going to be 16x AA on the PS3, something only matched on the higher spectrum of PCs; why is it that the 360 is supposed to be more powerful, better CPU, better GPU, easier to program for, and been out a year earlier but but you have yet to see a game approach this level of deatil? I'm NOT saying that the 360 can't do it, but since 2007, you don't see any big advances on the 360 before the PS3 does it first.

- Also, why would you want to play Halo with 10 million people when you can stay up all night looking for a Killzone 2 match.

* Well, I could say that's because that's the only 360 game that plays correctly on the 360, given the buggyness of Gears, The exploits on MW2, and the lack of multiplayer games on the 360 in general; but let me end this on a positive note and just state that you'll never see 10 million players in any PS3 game because there's too many games out. One could play Demon's Souls, or Download a new map from Unreal Tournament III or Little Big Planet, and one used to be able to play MAG and now Battlefield: Bad company's demo, Uncharted 2, Warhawk, Resistance 1 or 2's online, Metal Gear Online, Motorstorm, Fat Princess, and for those smart enough to get the earlier PS3's can pop-in a PS2 game and play all of their favorite PS2 games online since the majority of the 100 million people who bought a PS2 didn't switch-up, there are still games with communities. Or, like you said, put in Killzone 2 and still get a match.

Or you could play Halo with 10 out of the 14 million people who play on XBL.

Still. View

Just kidding.

It's good that people can poke fun of and have a laugh at the stupidity that is fanboyism. View

but I cringed when Bart brought up the DVD; I felt someone was going to slam that sooner or later on some thread somewhere.

I wonder if Cleveland Brown plays the PS3 (since he has cash).

Or perhaps the Griffins play the Wii? Well, maybe Meg. View

are you saying that GoW will be so good that it causes a rift in the space-time continuum and wins GotY for this year?

:D View

... a sore winner.

But considering that neither game is out yet (and therefore nothing "won" as of now), let's just say there's always room for improvement for any game. View

Motorstorm?

:P

:D View

The multiplayer lacks, especially after playing Killzone 2; It's a rent, if that. View

...They release it.

I don't care what you say, the first two were slammin', despite the buggy online.

They get that fixed up, that's one game that will Give Halo a run for it's money for online gameplay on the 360. View
