@alex_E: Singling out Target for this behavior is absurd. There are plenty of companies that indirectly donate to the election campaigns of vehement racists, religious extremists, and the like. For example, Tom Tancredo received tens of thousand of dollars from oil companies, the gambling industry, and the like in the

@ryoshi: Target didn't even directly give the money to the candidate — Target donated to a pro-business lobby which in turn promoted a particular candidate on the basis of his business views. The candidate also happened be against same-sex marriage.

@BeerManMike: Shows up as $21 (SSF4) + $8 (AC2) = $29 at Amazon's trade-in store for me.

@perry570: Most of the games GameStop buys back just sit on the shelves (or in the back) and never get sold. Obviously that's not the case for a few HOT! NEW! titles, but GameStop has to make up for all the losses they take buying back crappy old games.

@KrautMcfriend: Some people value their time. If your job pays $50+ an hour, spending half an hour or more listing, boxing, and shipping a game to "save" $25 doesn't make sense.

@Batousi: The best games for the series were Dracula X (PC Engine, PSP) and Super Castlevania IV (SNES, Wii), neither of which is available on the PS1, GameBoy [Advance], or DS. SotN (PS1) and CotM (GBA) were also quite good, however.

@Dogen: It's great that square and circle look so much alike with the horrible flicker and low resolution of the original PS1 (and PS2) and are colored pink and red, respectively. It's not like Sony could have used yellow. :(

@JRock: Welcome to adventure games.

I want to believe.

@WesLuger: I'll probably pick it up on the 360. I mainly use the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player.

I did finally get through the whole PS3 firmware download/install, game download/install process and had a chance to play through the first level (the demo) on the middle difficulty level. It was enjoyable.

@KingHippo: This was a pitch made by the little guys to the higher-ups at Ubisoft. Someone has to sell the game to the guys who control the purse strings (and licensing) before serious work can be put into it.

@lilalienpup: I liked the Ninja Gaiden bit, but the Sonic part made me want to puke. Romance and Sonic do not mix.

@reducks: How is it meant to be a homage to NES beat'em ups when it has graphics that far surpass what even the SNES was capable of? And judging from the video above, I'd be much more willing to play River City Ransom (NES) or Double Dragon I or III (NES) or Streets of Rage 2 or 3 (Genesis), let alone the absurdly

@Dodheim: It's not based on your computer — it's based on YouTube or Vimeo's (in my example) computers (and their respective IP addresses).

@Dodheim: It's simple. Verizon (and other ISPs) will throttle speeds to sites/services that don't pay bribes to Verizon. If Google's YouTube gives Verizon a nice kickback, then YouTube will run at full speed; if Vimeo fails to give Verizon money, then Vimeo access will be so slow as to be unusable.

@Electros: Not filtering illegal materials is not a part of any mainstream net neutrality arguments; in fact, such filtering is an explicit exception all the major net neutrality backers are for.

@pandafresh: But it's how Google and Verizon have redefined "Net Neutrality".

@somarix: That's pretty much what Network Neutrality is. Googizon's new definition, however, allows for loopholes.
