I was thinking about the concept of "programs" and "users" and Tron was really way ahead of its time and the idea that people could leave an imprint of themselves in the digital world. Think of Tron's "programs" as something more like your Facebook profile. Imagine all the data from your browsing preferences to your…

@KallMeKate: 2007 called. They want their meme back.

@dexisajerk: You can jump on the bandwagon right now. Get a cablecard tuner for your Windows 7 PC and your 360 will work as well (better) than this U-Verse thing and you can ditch the Tivo fees.

@ubertrance: All this stuff you can do with U-Verse you already can do on your 360 with any cable company if you have Windows 7 PC and a cablecard tuner. I haven't used my Comcast settop box in four months. I watch all my tv through my 360 while my PC records everything during the day (up to 4 HD channels at…

@trunkenmath: Except it will still be a compressed 720p video stream. The game on OnLive's servers may be playing at "max" settings (a waste if it is) but all you're going to see is a heavily compressed 720p image at 30fps. You're not going to see blades of grass in Crysis unless you stand still and get a static…

@Arnheim: So get a 16GB USB stick (heck, get two) and go to town. One 16GB stick holds two game installs plus my profile and some choice save games for easy gaming at a friends house.

Unsavory lowlifes hanging out at Gamestop? What. A. Shock.

@RockyRan: How many accents do the Wii and Move understand?

What a ripoff! You can get them much cheaper at monoprice.

@Luke Plunkett: Except they didn't do that. The character is a digitized sprite overlaid onto a digitized image of a set. You can tell when the charscter walks his shadows don't cast onto the environment the way the static elements of the set do (also he has a very obvious, repeated walk cycle). Clayfighter and…

@josefismael: That occurred to me as well. They never offered "bumpers" for any previous Apple phones (only over-priced cases). Also, since the solution to this problem was simply "use the bumper", why did it take Apple so long to do this? If they had given everybody a bumper at launch and said "You'll probably…

@Leanid: "What does the 360 offer to Japanese gamers that the PS3 and Wii don't?"

"Content you'll own for the duration of your subscription". That's different from Gold. Once you buy or receive something on Live, you own it forever not just until your Gold subscription runs out.

Marcus! LOL. It's so cute when big corporations try to appear hip and "urban".

So $100 for the camera and one wand. To play most games you need the nunchuck which is $30. So a minimum of $130 for one player. That boxing game takes two wands. So to cover all bases you need $180 worth of controllers for one player.

Even money says they announce the PSP2, show some BS pre-rendered video, then say "Spring 2011" knowing full well Sony has never hit a "Spring" release date.

"both containing the faster 802.11n wireless standard for quicker wi-fi speeds. This also checks out, since it was only last we week we saw two new PS3" Luke, according to your own linked article, the FCC certified the devices only for 802.11b/g. So either these new bundles aren't those units, of they won't have n.

"You need to buy a wi-fi adapter if you want to connect wirelessly, and those are extortionately priced."

@caipengchi: Sony sold a guy a device that both allowed Linux to be installed AND could go online. It no longer does that. Also, existing PSN games that the guy already bought will no longer work on his console if he chooses to keep Linux. So his device no longer does what Sony said it would (it went from an AND…

@JoetheArachnid: You know that an iPod is no different than a generic MP3 player you can get from dozens of other manufacturers? Apple puts a 300% markup and locks other MP3 players out of iTunes. How is this different?
