Yes, there legal arrangements made to republish all the time.

dupe, ignore

Metacritic probably has a similar arrangement.

Sad that I enjoy these 80s Flashback moments as much as I do.

I understand Kotaku's point. They don't want Metacritic gaining from contributors on the internet.

True that. MSFT gets a bad rap. The Zune hardware was quite good too.

Sony and Microsoft collaborating is so improbably, Kotaku's time would be better spent talking about more realistic things e.g. neural interfaces for next gen games, world peace breaking out etc. etc.

I hope Sony and MSFT band together and hold strong. I don't mind this on portal devices (for now), but the last thing I need is a friends list for every publisher on every console I own.

Ironically, I always thought + sucked ass. After the 30 day trial, I'm not sure. Now that I know other accounts can use the free game downloads, it works for me.

If by similar, you mean opposite.

Not entirely true. Most states allow a "training wage". Which is to say you temporarily can't make "minimum wage" because you aren't qualified enough yet.

Close enough, and your $58 is still pretty much roughly a day's worth or work near minimum wage to get a new game.

Yup, the quality of life is really in the crapper in the US.

Why do people always say gaming is an expensive hobby?

Bingo.
