Unfortunately, had you bothered to read what I wrote, you'd know that the extension went the other way.

Again. The future is relative. We don't know what direction entertainment will take in 20, 30, or 40 years. But as for the immediate future, I disagree. I do agree, however, that the two distribution models would ideally complement each other as books and e-books do. Unfortunately, the reason some of us are so worked

Dinner and a show. Can't beat it.

Kind of, yeah. We seemingly disagree as to whether or not the company likely has money available for such a project. Given the size of their holding company, the ease at which the purchase was facilitated, and estimates from sources like Bloomberg quoting potential profits at the 100 million mark—as early as 2011.

Agreed. And I now have a greater appreciation for the things I earn. So it's definitely not all bad. It definitely seems that we get more of the extremes than the middle grounds, but I guess that comes with the territory. Working in retail, I have certainly seen a few of those types in the store, though. So as you

It's not a traditional MMO, but it is online-only, last I heard. Still, not something I care to pay for. I'll play the free version and that's it.

And the idea that you don't care about throwing away money, having games remain viable for your children to experience the same great themes and stories as you, and your inherent rights as a consumer for the false promise of "cheaper" games is befuddling. Why would Sony make games cheaper if they had control over

How is digital the future? Maybe 20 years from now. But in a world with data caps, insufficient infrastructure, and very, very limited advancements in secondary memory, how will a digital future be supported? Whether you like it or not, it's still not conducive to a good 75% of the market, and the fact that you're

No, not all of it. I certainly enjoy GOG, for instance. But the contextual "push" here, is in order to control distribution. And who does that benefit? Answer: Not the consumer.

I would imagine for the same reasons as you are?

Exchange and relative value would differ, yes. The prices are definitely not just directly comparable.

As robotrelations mentioned, 100 million in debt would have been covered by the 300 million suit before anything was seen in the hands of shareholders or the company. Aside from that, I also mentioned the 5.5 million copies of Dance Central that were sold. If you can sell 5.5 million copies of a game, and have nothing

You should never burn bacon. Lightly crisped is best.

Oh! The enlightened pigs? They're real people, you know!

While I'm personally not fond of doing anything to myself that physically weakens me, or inconveniences my life (or the lives of others)—more power to her. I do wonder if her FAQ mentions the health risks and any research she did before taking them on. The idea that she is now excluded from certain medical tests, has

That's a 10 year old article. Since then, they've won a 300 million suit against Viacom that seems to have been at least partially retained, they've sold 5.5 million copies of Dance Central (in the past few years), and they've struck up a partnership with Disney.

Do you have any evidence to support that? Because last I checked they were doing pretty well with selling 5.5 million copies of Dance Central in the past few years, a partnership with Disney, winning the suit against Viacom for 300 million that doesn't seem as if it wasn't at least partially retained, etc.

Edit: Sorry—wrong post. Yeah, high-speed for a single player game is not something I care to see.

$88, sure. How much of that goes to taxes, tariffs, and importing fees? Also consider how much higher their average wages are to compensate. I understand it sucks to see an $88 tag, but I'm thinking Europeans actually have a worse time with Euro conversion. Especially those in the poorer regions.

Respectfully, I disagree. Physical media (in some capacity) is the (immediate) future. As data needs expand, and provision is actually on the downgrade, we simply don't have the infrastructure to support a digital future. Even if we did, there are only so many platters that can fit on a hard drive. I would bet that
