a potential piracy nightmare for Sony.

Forget PSN, I want this in my real home.

Sadly, the visual satisfaction only lasts for one second.

@taniquetil: The best part is all the repurposing you can do with it once it becomes obsolete.

@doubtful: Yes, I know that. But come on, you would need a LOT of 35-40 year olds playing to make up for all the younger people playing. Unless there are people even older than that playing, just having an overwhelming number of exactly the average would take a lot to skew the results that way.

@SpiritThief: Well, as with any story, it's chosen because they think people want to hear about it. I'm not sure if that qualifies it as a "stunt", but you're right, it's all to stir up a shitstorm.

the average gamer age is 35 - 39 for someone buying this particular title

@Altima NEO: Ohh, I understand. And, yes, I've played many of them. In the context of Fallout, it seems like switching to a 3rd person view for the duration of the climb would be fine, but hey, they must know what works and what doesn't better than me.

I know nothing about game development. Why exactly would something as simple as a ladder require a loading screen?

@brijazz: It was given to him? He found it? There's lots of ways to own something without knowing much about it.

Man, and I thought running home was a snap.

That's funny, I didn't think he had any fans

Dang, Link looks old as shit. Isn't he supposed to be a poppy little sprite?

Psh, that guy just bought that screen. Doesn't count.

The Next Tony Hawk Game Is For Kids

@Rynocerous: They wouldn't be 320 lbs for long.

Touch that boy Yoda did not.

@vein11: Sure it's a novelty. Just like any children's toy. Only this is a toy for adults. A big, shiny toy that's insanely fun to use. Will tablets become the end-all, be-all of computing? No, of course not. But they are fun to use, and grown-ups need toys too. Your "tech-fad" prognosis is dead-on, but I don't…

@Galvarez: This would be the "Growth" section of the market phase. Trust me, I just took that class :P.

@SynicVance2.0: Oh shit...I thought that actually was Robinho in his Madrid shirt haha.
