At this rate there won't be any launch games on either console...

So has there been any word on a European release? Even if the NA version is region free, I'm sure the big box will result in exorbitant postage.

Meat Circus with touch screen controls? That would be...nice?

How's this? You are a terrible person because in your analogy there are more 3rd party voters than Dems & Repubs combined.

Oh come on. They're all too happy to spend trillions in taxpayer money, just not on what the other side wants to spend it on. Or at least not in exactly the same way the other side wants to spend it on. This of course mostly applies to all sides in politics everywhere, not just the Republican party.

Then let me slightly rephrase it: Because there is clearly a market for said merchandise.

Because somebody buys said merchandise.

Also, if anybody is turning Islam into a joke, somebody might want to nominate the guys who banned all music and replaced it with readings of Qur'an over the sound of machine gun fire, blew up ancient statues and take pride in shooting little girls in the head.

Their plan of winning hearts and minds seems to be as well thought out as such plans have been in the past.

Well, there is now!

Can't we use this power for good? You know: "Video games turn your children into beauty queens!"

Extrapolating from anecdotal evidence we can therefore deduce that all young philippino women are into RPGs. It's pure science!

It's commendable, awesome even, that they're trying something different with the controller. I'm just not sure if different is better in this case. I'm certainly looking forward to hearing first impressions on this.

Everybody should just accept that Half-Life 3 is dead. Then if Valve ever does get around to releasing it, it will be an awesome surprise, but in the meantime people won't be getting their hopes up in vain every time anybody in the company opens their mouth.

Would input latency really be a major issue to be solved when streaming from your PC to your Steambox?

I'm not saying that they should, I'm saying that it seems to me they will.

Well yes, but what I meant was that many of those "hundreds of games" might actually be streamed from Valve's servers, thus bypassing the need for developers to actually port anything to the platform.

This kind of sounds like it might be Onlive 2.0. I hope there's more to it than that.

Man, I need to start paying more attention. I was all set to play Russian roulette as a young Christopher Walken.
