It also blocks quim as my friend found out, which is ye olde slang for vagina. Fun fact, also used by Loki in the Avengers to insult Black Widow. How offensive that line was probably went over many peoples heads.

Yeah he's right. We should be focusing on the things that really matter. Like how the PS4 is $100 cheaper. Thanks Mr Penello!

It probably has to do with the fact that he's said plenty of other things to make people dislike him.

Not for certain no. But there's been numerous reports that retailers are being allocated far less XB1 stock than they are PS4s. Couple that with the rumours of manufacturing issues, the staggered launch, and the fact they seem to be rushing it out (how else do you explain the fact that they hadn't finished figuring…

Has to be Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate here. I may be biased though.

Change isn't inherently good. Not every change is for the better. I'd like to point out that I was largely against it as well. And I'm completely indifferent to the whole used games issue. I don't care about being able to trade in, or buy used, or whatever other crap. And I'm happy to go largely digital for my games.…

I think the campaign was interesting, ultimately though I'm not sure how much effect it had. It was already pretty clear that Sony weren't going to take the Microsoft route, despite those that thought otherwise, so I don't think it changed anything there. I do think it was one of the factors behind Sony making it a…

So basically they want to sell you the same product twice. It's incredibly bizarre that of the big three Microsoft have the most proprietary crap as far as their consoles are concerned. Proprietary hard drives, proprietary wireless protocol for controllers, proprietary charging cables, and now a proprietary accessory…

That's funny, because I could have sworn it was you who did that. Oh yeah, you did.

And so defeated, the fool jakran seeks refuge in denial. His tail tucked between his legs.

Um, are you actually following any of this? You know, the article, the original comment in this thread? Did you read any of it or did you just see my comment and fly into a frenzy to reply to it. I will lay it out to you:

If you can promise me $10 of value in return then sure. What an asinine reply. The point was that you're not losing $10, it's still there. And the risk of you actually losing it is minimal. And not only is the risk minimal but the consequences of the risk are minimal as well. That's what I meant about it being a small…

Mostly it's just referring to the fact that they're not locking streaming video services like netflix behind a pay wall like Xbox Live does. The mention of non real time online play is interesting though. It's hard to think what kind of game play elements that could refer to.

I can understand not wanting to leave large amounts on there. But $10? Getting uppity over such a small amount is either being very tight with money or very paranoid. I don't care about having a little credit because I know I'll use it at some point. Ten bucks now or ten bucks later I've still spent ten bucks.

QA isn't foolproof. Never has been, never will be. Unless you can hire precogs who can predict bugs before they happen. The thing about software (and a lot of other things for that matter) is there's any number of factors you can be dealing with. To completely test anything you need to be aware of every factor…

It's funny really, because when you consider that Sony generally sells their gaming hardware at a loss (at least at first) it makes no sense for them to do such a thing. Microsoft do the same, which is why the red ring was a big sting. At any rate it's game sales, accessories, and services where the profit for console…

Less inconvenient than an RROD. Still, it only affected a very small number of users from the sound of it.

The thing is it's a defence mechanism as well. And I doubt we'd have survived as a species long enough to develop modern medicine without it. Problem is that the body isn't capable of discrimination between helpful and harmful foreign bodies. The only solution is to find and use materials that the body won't reject.

Hey Luke, if you could add a link to our TAY Howtu that'd be awesome.

Thanks. As I said I don't think it's ever been a major issue on Kotaku. You guys are pretty good at keeping a level-head. I just don't think it's ideal to combine the two roles
