Best rant on the topic I've heard. It's the same price as a happy meal a month. Suck it up people.

With that much dust involved, it'll probably red ring in a half hour or so.

Having lived on both sides of the "fence", I'm fine with paying my 5 bucks a month for the Live service, compared to what "free" looks like over at Playstation.

Ah, the last bastion of the Sony fanboi. "Our system has a better physical media platform that no one is using because everyone streams everything now!" Physical media is dead.

$8000 =/= $50 a month. $8000 is closer to $160/month more. (the old rule of thumb that $1000 is $20/60 months)

100% correct. I don't see anything too crazy about the similarities in those 2 more than you'd see in other planes.

Wait..the first four people that didn't like this article and commented as such got moved to devnull and vacationed? (Okay, I'll give you the "this story sucks" guy, but the others were in no way across the line)

Go back to Jezebel, after making me a sammich.

Headline with a couple of decent keywords? Check.

Exactly This.

I think it's important to be transparent in what you're doing with your kids online. If they think that you're checking up on them with the intention to "catch them and punish them", they'll try to hide things. Be open and honest about why you're being involved, and keep an ongoing conversation about it.

So, all the fun of an underpowered CJ, without the fun of an underpowered CJ, with engine issues. Yeah, I'll go CP on this one.

No, No...we take the buttons, and put them where the right analog stick is. Then, it's a whole different controller, and the guys at Microsoft won't be able to sue us.

You forgot "absolutely terrible third party games". Yeah, I did the wii thing for the kid, but the minute kinect came out we went back to being a one console household.

It's a good idea, no question. But they're light years behind on having a successful phone OS. Android and Apple have eaten the market up, and at this stage anyone trying to enter it on any level beyond 2-3% of the market is going to need to work really hard to convert people.

This almost sounds like a blackberry discussion, where everyone assume that the specs will leap forward, and the company comes out and says "well, we're thinking about it". Any resolution involving the number "480" at this stage of the game belongs on a phone that's sold for $49.

I guess the big question is, knowing who she was "ratting out", why didn't she stay hidden, and not let them know who she was? It seems like a little fore site would have gone a long way on this one.

I seriously can't believe in this day and age that no one got pictures or video of this nonsense.

As an avid motorcyclist, I get each and every one of these. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I completely understand them.

Yup...in NYS it doesn't matter which flavor of vehicle you're in, the penalties are the same.
