You're right, they don't want competition but the fact that local municipalities do help them achieve that in many places doesn't help either. I was merely pointing out the fact that some have laws and restrictions in place for doing that. Are those the result of pressure from ISPs and the like? Quite possibly and I…

Actually this also has to do with local municipalities getting in the way. Our town won't let other ISPs move in (I am working on fixing that issue), but they had a "deal" with the one cable company are keeping everyone out due to that. We've had the same mayor for like 26 years here...over 50% of the town has DirecTV…

Wow, glad we don't have that! I don't think many would stand for that...but $1/gb is crazy expensive. Still, wish you folks up north didn't have to suffer shit internet...I travel there a lot so I know the pain, even if just a little.

Not "will be" we already are getting smoked by most countries out there when it comes to cost vs speed. With some places (like where I live) with data caps and piece meal charging if go over that cap...we're already in that territory of suckage.

In the US here, have a 150gb cap. Go over? $10 per 50gb. Sucks ass and no choice to switch.

Where I live I already get charged for more less in the US. Internet is a joke in this country anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if our local ISP goes this route sooner than everyone else since they have zero idea of what they're doing outside of screwing over customers. Sure some places have it much worse, but we're…

Well, it won't run any games that require Windows, which is a lot. So until they're all OpenGL...not at all.

"at launch" Um...it's been out for a year.

Just don't play the Army of Darkness drinking game...

Not to mention, he likely would be alive too!

Really need a disclaimer of how this is calculated in the article. The sheer number of comments wondering how it was tabulated shows that it's 100% necessary at this point and is confusing.

Yep, I've been saying for years that they have it all wrong and they could make a ton of money if they just opened the doors to the fans and creative folks out there.

I'm in the same boat, though usually in the AMV category of things. I use a lot of things and even have made a few of my own mixes of songs when I've gotten the urge.

Why not just buy a PC and put Steam OS on it to begin with?

In 2012, they were pretty hard to find...if it said 2013, then I'd be suspect of that one.

American's have little respect for a lot of things, especially some segments of the population. This is really a cultural thing on a lot of levels. The Japanese have a much higher sense of community and family than the US does these days in many places. Sure, exceptions will be in both places, but overall Japan's…

EDIT: n/m, didn't realize that was the full video which shows it in the beginning of it...but 98% of that is asymmetrical stuff

Welcome to Gawker...the ultimate recyclers of posts. Then again, if it wasn't Luke's by-line it could've been anyone...since they're getting the users to generate their own content and not get paid for it now.

Toys R Us also has games that are $14.99/$19.99 get a second for $1 and buy one game get one 40% off. Not a bad deal if you play it right at all. All systems at that, deal lasts through Saturday.

You completely lost it when you said a game meant for parties would be better on a mobile device. Yeah, because there's never more fun than crowding around a 4-10" screen when you've got 5-10 people over...I'll take my 65" plasma over that any day for Party U.
