@deanbmmv: Shows like the Simpsons don't change names to avoid Trademark issues. They're parodies so they are exempt from such things. They can use the actual names and logos with impunity. When they substitute a fake name it is either for 1) Comic effect 2)They don't want to seem to be plugging (or dissing) a real…

@Calijoefornia: There are heroes and then there are heroes*...

I always thought the "Joe Young" alias was a not-so-subtle comment on the roided-up Bonds and referenced Mighty Joe Young. Why would a baseball game contain an homage to two quarterbacks?

@deanbmmv: Harrison said it when he was in charge of Sony. Howard Stringer also made that comment- google for yourself. The Carmack quote is from last year just to show that Sony still has it in the cards. Is a disc-less next gen system so hard to believe when Sony released a disc-less version of a current system…

@deanbmmv:

@HowIsYourFlat: Sony has said the PS4 won't have an optical drive of any kind so why would the 720 need one?

Did they invite you back for their pre-planned "Mass Effect 2:Teaching Rape to Preschoolers" special next week?

"Since they're most likely including albums sales in that number, however (which will bloat the figures), it shows most people picking the game up either aren't aware of, or are simply not interested in, downloadable content." Geez, Luke. When you write these things do you say to yourself "What's the most negative,…

So all this time Apple has worked to make the iPod smaller and smaller and now they're going to release an iPod bigger than all the previous ones. Doesn't sound like an innovation so much as copying Nintendo (DSi XL). Apple's overdue for another flop. It's been a few years since the AppleTV.

The "but PSN is free" argument rings kind of hollow when Sony won't even keep online running for its own titles.

@Riozaki: And re-releasing the same stuff over and over again. And whoring out its IP to anything no matter how silly. Yeah, that works.

@NightMystic: The interesting implication is that it IS how Capcom views Sony's motion controller system.

Hey, Razer. License this to Disney in time for their new Tron movie/videogame.

@deanbmmv: Great. That means I don't have to put up with morons doing dances in front of me or have to wait in line to play a virtual arcade game.

1. This is relatively old news. 2. When this was originally posted on other news sites, it was considered a non-starter because the technology wouldn't work on existing hardware so its use was limited to archival backups (a la 700MB CD-Rs). Nowhere did they say the PS3 will just work with a firmware update. The…

""Like all Apple products," Gruber writes. "The Tablet will do less than we expect but the things it does do, it will do insanely well."

@Mike Newlad: Microsoft is still doing their part, it is EA that is dropping support. Any non-EA company can still play their games on Live- even XBox 1 titles from 2001. It's like being mad at your internet provider because your favorite website went under. It's not their job to keep the entire internet running…

@Mike Newlad: How is this Microsoft's fault? Go tell EA to allow Madden to be played without accessing EA's servers. It can be done. I can still play the Xbox 1 version of many EA games like Burnout 3 over Live because they don't require signing in to EA's server's first. EA insists on authenticating on their own…

If the Japanese want to be xenophobes and play an inferior version of Bayonetta, it's their loss.

@CustomFirmware: A Quicktime VR is no more or less "real 3D" than a Photosynth. They both take multiple 2D shots and then morph/blend them together under input to create the illusion of 3D.
