@Faux Bravo: More people will buy the new game instead of the used because the difference is so small, and that is verifiable via Gamestop's sales records which have been posted on Kotaku in the past. Gamestop sells far more new games than used.

@CalibreTerrapin: If he's playing Fallout and watching Scrubs, the correct question is 'when is he,' not 'where is he.'

@Chestnut Bowl: Piracy does not put any money into the system. Many gamers sell used games to enable them to buy more games, so it keeps money in the system and help stimulate new game sales.

@FarukM: And the song has the same quality as 'We are the three best friends that anyone could have...'

@ninjadan: FYI, HP cancelled the Slate after they bought Palm, so the Slate will never see the light of day.

That's about a third of the repair cost, so for every four warranty purchasers, Sony should expect to repair one unit or less.

@puffa469: On the day they shut the servers down, I kept thinking of the JMS (the creator of Babylon 5) cameo on the final episode of that show. He powered down the station as he was the last one to leave.

@Chowderholic: Prices actually tend to go up during a liquidation. It's counter intuitive, but liquidation sales typically bring in a ton of buyers who just assume they're getting a bargain.

@Dreamwriter: It seems a slightly disingenuous argument to base your idea of what should be normal market pricing and the break even point on development costs which you admit are "the very highest" for the platform.

@famoustrip: Don't get me wrong, the game looks and sounds great, and would probably easily be a $30-$35 DS or PSP game.

Chaos Rings might not fall into the iPhone gaming sweet spot price-wise, but then Chaos Rings isn't your typical short and sloppy iPhone game...

Dragonage: Origins, more Mass Effect 2 on insanity, and a little HeartGold.

@Janglesatwest: The problem with unicorns is that if you don't club them just right, you get your club stuck on their horn.

@Slagathorian: Stand tall and shake the heavens...: I felt the same way. I just started Dragon Age: Origins a couple days ago which made me think of Oblivion and all the stuff I never got around to doing in that game.

@ElephantFace: A store credit makes you come back, gives them another chance to advertise to you, and helps keep you from shopping with their competitors.

I put this in 'deals,' but I thought I'd also drop it here:

@Chicken Pawks: I'm still expecting an undisclosed out-of-court settlement where Activision retains blanket rights to the COD franchise and West and Zampella get a little spending cash.
