@thesircuddles: Because most JRPGs use a ton of pre-rendered cutscenes. If the characters changed armor, it would look wrong if every time the game showed a cutscene that the characters were still wearing their "default" armor.

@Xenigma: Locking up a 12-year old for six years at Guantanamo before getting around to a trial? Sadly, if he wasn't terrorist before he probably is one now.

@stranger: People said the same thing about movie adaptations of books, tv shows, comic book characters, 80s toy lines, theme park rides, etc. They were all bad ideas that turned into bad movies- until the first good/successful one. There is nothing inherently bad about adapting one medium to another, only bad…

Still not as funny as when Sony's marketing department tried to pass off shots of Project Gotham Racing as a PS3 title.

Let me predict Sony's presentation: Blah blah blah potential. Blah blah blah momentum. Blah blah blah blu-ray.

@Hiroken: I guess you missed the part about Sony and Nintendo. They both RAISED their prices weeks ago in the UK. Where was your outrage and analysis then?

@wild homes loves you but chooses darkness!: "Fighting animals is actually a recognised part of history in some parts of the South." So is slavery and the KKK. If someone put a flaming cross in Vick's front yard, do you think he'd say "That's alright. I recognize that as part of your history and culture." ?

They should have ditched the AA chargers (who doesn't already have one of those) and allowed you to lay the wiimotes flat for induction charging. That way, you don't have to remove the jackets to charge and it would work with the Wii-motion plus.

Is this Sony's roundabout way of saying that commanders can't talk to all their troops? Sort of like that lame "dial-a-remark" in the PS3 version of Ridge Racer.

@OutsideTheBox: I won't even comment on your voodoo math for the cost of hard disk space.

@Ad-hominem: "This is, unlike the other options on this list, a more permanent product.

While the game is 2D and the fighters are sprites, most (if not all) of them are not hand drawn. Think Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country. SNK just had the good taste to not try to make them all shiny and "Rare-like".

You put quotes around "floating" and "touch" when you really should have put them around "hologram" since what their "3D" display is just an old mirror trick that's been around long before lasers let alone holograms.

@Amuro1X: Actually look at 2:46. Whenever the Smurf turns around and exits the screen, Smurfette appears to lose some clothes. It's a sprite glitch, but it does look funny.

@Artdeux: And the memory card reader, and SACD support, and a couple of USB ports...

@mangs: How is it vital? 1) It's a crappy G-wireless router that can't stream HD. 2)You're better off with a single dedicated router for all your net-capable devices near your tv. Better performance, easier maintenance.

@Talleh: Guess you haven't been paying attention. Tons of XBLA have had large, permanent price cuts.

@MuteWinter: And it's going to get worse. Sony's started using cheaper Blu-ray pickups that 1) Have worse seek performance 2) Degrade significantly over time. Hope you have lots of hard disc space for all those mandatory installs (and patches for older streaming-heavy games). Remember the good old PS1's you had to…
