Most of the other companies charge for servers too. On PS4 and Xbox One you have to subscribe to PS+ or Xbox Live Gold to use most of the online features. On PC big multiplayer games are charging for servers too. Most of Battlefield 3's server are payed by the admins and clans who use these servers, for example. In…

The downside of this arrangement is that your digital copy of the game is tied to your 3DS system, thanks to Nintendo's antiquated interface that ties software to hardware. In other words, if you lose your 3DS, you lose your game too.

I still think it is strange that you don't need a license to own or use a fire weapon in most states of the USA while you need a driver license to be allowed to drive a car.

There are many reasons why GFWL sucks today. It even looks like Microsoft itself doesn't care about GFWL any more.

They missed several trends in the drm client business. You can't download and install your registered games with GFWL and there is no cloud synchronization for save files.
These are standard…

The second DS Trauma CenterTitle wasn't released in Europe either. I imported it, but I couldn't import Traum Team because the Wii had region lock.

There was an annualy TV show called "Domino Day" in Europe between 1998 and 2009 as well. They tried to break the actual world record for most dominoes falling every year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_Da…

Actually it's the opposite way. The new consoles are chairs without backrest serving as a table.
It's PC hardware, just in a different case with a different and more restrictive operating system. But consoles are still great if you want a relative cheap system only for gaming.

Actually they ARE both PCs. Both Xbox One and PS4 have an x86-64 CPU which is the exact same architecture you use in modern PCs. Because they use this architecture there aren't much posibilities for any major differences. I seems, that die AMD CPU of the Xbox One and PS4 has some hardware acceleration you haven't in…

Before I was 18 I told a wrong year of birth but since I am older than 17 I use the correct year. Also a valid birth date could be helpful if somehow somebody steals your account.

You could not store more than 8MB on the largest gameboy color cartridge.

Almost a year ago the European Court of Justice decided that you have the right to resell your software licence in the EU no matter if you bought the software on a cd or digitally. They didn't said explicitly that software developer have to offer the posibility to transfer software licences between different accounts…

I expect GameStop to sue Microsoft for this in Europe. In the EU a company isn't allowed to prohibit you from doing with your bought software licence whatever you want, as long as you doesn't infringe copyright law. This means you can sell or give your used software licence to whoever you want. The European Court of…

I start to believe that Nintendo made some big mistakes with its marketing strategy. Please don't confuse marketing with advertising. Marketing is much more than advertising, it involves also things like pricing and choosing your target group for example. Sure, the core Nintendo fans bought a Wii U but many are still…

Space child in corn field at 0:16 :D

For the German version they will have to change all nazi symbols again.

This one went straight to my list of wallpapers/fan art I have to print and hang up in my room.

Then buy an e-piano instead. I live in a 17 square meters appartment and i have space for it.

In 2001 there was a similar thing in Berlin for some months.

I would buy it if it wasn't Sony exclusive. (I don't own a PS3 or Vita). Kinda strange how many references to Nintendo characters there are in a Sony exclusive title.
