but nowadays, MLB just shruggs its shoulders, pulls a Rick Perry, and says "ooops." I am STILL bitter over the "Jeffery Maier" Affair. Orioles should demand a replay...

No amount of factchecking can ruin the joke that is Florida.

FWIW, Pleasants was calling in from Colorado. You'd need a really fast car to make the 15-minute drive from there to Sanford, FL.

I just imagine the roomful of high priced lawyers walking into a room every year, pouring over contracts and legal precedents for hours. Eventually one throws a book across the room, and dejectedly murmurs: "fuuuuuuuck."

If anything, disabled gamers should love the voice commands.

People ask for a feature. Microsoft confirms it. People suddenly don't like feature.

Yeah, and which would explain why he could be wrong footed. If you're in a wall, you basically have to decide that you WANT to hit a fast moving ball with your face at close range, or else your reflexes will take over and you'll dodge it. Which looks like what happened there.

So many ignorant Microsoft haters replying to my comments.

It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea.

Especially when they cross over the line and move into political advocacy, which is beyond common at this point.

It definitely causes more violence than vidyagames.

Lets tax religion while we're at it okay =)

Woah, I think this is the first time I've seen people talk about Fox News positively. We don't get it in England, so all I know of it is the constant mockery I see on the Internet.

Oh man, you've got balls coming to the internet and "defending" "M$" "fanboy"!! "You're not listening to what anyone else is saying." "You probably work for Microsoft." "Don't twist this in to being a positive." "M$ is anti-consumer and they should all burn in hell." "Sheep!"

Maybe that will keep the haters from…

I'm relatively new to this site and my impression is that it is unabashedly pro-Sony and anti-Microsoft. I don't think any other gaming blog I visited bashed MS more and contributed to the flame war against MS more than this one. One editor in particular who's name slips my mind right now and I don't care to look up.…

I'm in a similar boat here, especially with the Nintendo thing. Personally I just hate the whole idea of anyone "winning" what is just a show made for the press and retailers. It's not made for you and me, it's made as a one-stop showcase for everything new that's coming out. Yes, Microsoft has been extremely…

Or just be straightforward about the fact that it was a full digital console that had an optical drive for convenience of game installation (not unlike games you install on PC from a DVD and then activate on Steam).

Seriously! Digital is the future.

Agreed.

This was never an issue of "good vs evil", "anti-consumerism", or "greedy corporations". Ever. It was simply a company making the leap to the first all-digital console, people being unable to move on from a traditional (though unsustainable, as even Kotaku has called it several times) business model, and a completely…
