Aside from pointing out the fact that, while you were trying "to contribute to the conversation" by being an asshole, you neglected to understand that the word "you're" is not the same as "your".

But, no, I'm the one who has nothing to contribute. Thumbs up to you, Chief.

"It's better to let people think that your ignorant than to type it out and remove all doubt."

The irony amuses me.

Even when horny-a, protect your cornea.

Rawdog that shit, son!

Even if I -could- use hand sanitizer (I cannot because I have an anaphylactic allergic reaction to alcohol in all its forms), I would not use hand sanitizer. It is overused and, unless you're in the health care field or dealing with someone with a compromised immune system, is freaking overkill.

Not to mention the…

You realize that this comment was from nearly three months ago, yes?

Incorrect. Phonetically, the letter "F" is pronounced "ehf", which is a vowel sound. The "an" is appropriate.

You've never taken a stat class, have you?

3000 people is a valid statistical number (its actually double) for a population size of the United States. If the survey was handled properly, and I have no reason to believe that it wasn't, the information is more than reliable.

Doesn't matter how many they sent out. 3000 people who responded is WAY MORE than enough to create a reliably accurate sampling.

40 yards is a standard metric for football. This is a contest to win a football game...

I paid for City of Heroes/Villains for 6 years. If the game is fun, I'll pay for it.

I hear the judge never regained his sanity. Poor guy.

I think he probably does, but only because he has a home-based business and does not want to incorporate, so he tries keeping his finances separate.

You really should have had your taxes done by now. If not, you should probably visit a tax professional in person.

The Kinect, as it can be completely removed, is a peripheral. No one is going to spend the kind of money it takes to create a AAA game (in this development cycle) that is directly for the Kinect. They will certainly put in things that make use of the Kinect, but the game will not be developed solely with the Kinect…

Oh, I read your entire post. I've also watched and read interviews with the people who created the new Kinect and its subsequent technology. They make a very specfic point in mentioning, repeatedly, how cutting edge the new Kinect is and how much time and energy went into the development of said tech.

You're really giving the new Kinect a lot of credit if you think anyone other than Microsoft is going to spend AAA budgets on a peripheral game.

The only reason the R&D costs might be high is because of the Kinect, which, as this article has established (based on the comments) many people do not want. Ergo, the Kinect IS the $100 difference.

Only 1 game on that list that I am interested in that I cannot get anywhere else. While I will pick up an X1 now (thanks to not having to have the Kinect plugged in at all), it certainly won't be anywhere near launch.
