But people donating and losing money to projects that never actually happen is bad for their business. The point of the changes is to make it less likely that a project that gets approved and gets funded won't actually be able to get built.

I agree, but he's still wrong.

I have to ask, do you live in a highly populated area?

Any luck finding someone to port Borderlands 1 to Vita?

It was bugging me one day, so I decided to take an hour or so and look it up.

He has one. It's Earl.

The picture is from Jack's Teen America 15. The girl went by Bree for that movie, but Julianna Kincaid for most of her other ones.

Right movie, wrong girl. That is not Bree Olson. IIRC, her name's Julianna Kincaid.

Sony's position is definitely cheaper, and possibly more consumer friendly as well. An internal laptop hard drive costs less per GB than an external drive or an SD card, and they made their drives pretty easy to replace. And they support externals for reading media off of.

The games you buy at a discount, you get to keep. Only the free games don't work after you cancel. And, like an MMO, if you rejoin, you can start back right where you left

The store's been there since launch. Playstation Plus is something in addition to that.

Besides the free games (or free rentals if you want to get absolutely techincal) and the discounts? Not really. But those two things by themselves usually end up earning you back the cost within months.

If they priced it low enough compared to the 250GB or 500GB ones, it could also be for the crowd that's so hardcore that they already plan on installing their own bigger HDD.

Probably because they didn't/can't/won't code the underlying OS to recognize more than one internal hard drive at a time.

Priced at $200 US and marketed as a streaming device/Blu-Ray player that can also play games, it's not horrible. And as the article says, you want to play more games, you can just install your own hard drive.

I'll be honest, I'm almost......impressed isn't the right word here, maybe intrigued....by the balls it takes to, technically, do a price increase instead of a price drop this late in the game (the 160GB system costs $250, and there's been no announcement so far of a bundle-less 250GB system).

360 hard drives are proprietary and, the last time I checked, ridiculously marked up. With those, it basically makes more sense to buy the system with the biggest hard drive unless you're going to buy one used.

Cheaper to manufacture, not necessarily cheaper for consumers. At least not yet.

What? This is in no way, shape, form, or fashion necessary to use the Vita. It's just an add-on, that if they put as much stuff on it as the PS3 version of Plus, more than pays for itself after a few months.

Not really. They supported the PS2 for 10 years, but the PS3 came out about 6-7 years after the PS2. They could easily release the PS4 next year or 2014 and still support the PS3 with a few new games for a couple years.
