@Kenofthedead: If you did do that, it still wouldn't change the fact that a home console needs a TV etc, a handheld doesn't *need* it.

@Eternal: You kind of selectively ignored everything else I said. Yes, they are part of the same larger category, but the fact that you need a TV, power supply and everything else to use a PS2 (Wii, Mastersystem, whatever), makes them clearly distinctly different from a handheld.

@Kenofthedead: The difference isn't where you play it, but in the fact that a handheld is a standalone system, whereas a console needs a TV (that isn't being used by other household members), a constant power source etc. to function, which seems a pretty major distinction.

@Eternal: I don't think wiki is actually 'proof' of a definition.

@Jack McCauley: You can choose how to split the amount when you buy the games. It defaults at an even split to the devs and charities, but you can change it so that it's all to one or the other, or any other proportion.

Not sure if it has already been mentioned, but they've now added Samorost 2 to the bundle as well.

@RobinSure: Okay, I would agree with that. There are more things out there that should have more done about them/should be generating more rage/interest.

@RobinSure: I never really understand that as an argument. Yes, there are almost always worse things out there, does that mean we should just ignore everything else? I should tell a kid who gets beaten up to just deal with it, because somewhere in the world someone is being raped?

Only thing I don't really understand is the "plays like a game but has the impact of a movie" line. Might just be me, but generally I consider games to have substantially more impact than films. Obviously there are examples of either that have bigger effects on me, but I feel much more involved in a game (because I

@Edge of Blade: I would agree that the original title is a bit too strong. The post they complained about was the Japanese one however, which it states had a title of roughly "MGS: PW Got a Perfect Score in Famitsu... But Is It An Impartial Assessment?"

Equally off-topic, for some reason all the posts are suddenly saying that they have 0 page views. This one has 118 comments though, which is a pretty impressive ratio.

@MadMinstrel: Game, gamestation, wherever else. Not saying that these places never end up changing dates or being wrong, but if the major highstreet stores are saying it is out in 19 days, then it seems pretty unlikely that they are basing it on absolutely nothing. The games I generally find them changing/dropping

@MadMinstrel: A very brief check of Amazon.co.uk /.de /whatever extension you prefer would have quickly shown you that it is coming to Europe.

@RockyRan: I would quite like this one to be a PSN download. I'd get it in a second at £20. But in the UK it seems to be launching at about £30, and seeing as most brand new games you can get at £35 if you look around (despite everywhere claiming that they're £50), it seems a tad pricey for me.

@Tpadz: It depends on whether people were including handhelds as consoles (can't remember the question). Pirating on the PSP and DS is a pretty big thing. And the Wii only requires an SD card as far as I'm aware. I'm not sure the stat would be the same for actually mod-chipping consoles. Seems that's a step too

@Meohfumado: I believe the question was whether people had ever pirated a game. That isn't the same as pirating every game. I've watched films that I don't own. I still have a pretty big legitimate DVD and Blu-ray collection, and own loads of games for all of the consoles.

@CaptLavender: absolutely every one of those things you can do on any other tablet, or a netbook.

Considering the amount of customisation options available in other games, this one feature isn't really much of anything.

@Jennacide: Are you sure about that? Every article I can find, including ones only a week or two old, say that there is no mandetory install (or even optional one) on the PS3 version.
