@bakagaijin: That shot has motion blur. There is no motion blur when playing the game.

I don't think that the YLOD is nearly as prevalent as the blu-ray drive dying.

@Scott J: My PS3 stopped reading Blu-Ray discs. Same thing happened to a friend. $150 to get it repaired. It is probably more common than the YLOD.

Great. That's all we need. Lambent gamers!

Slim Goodbody was the show that you would turn on after all the cartoons were over, just so you could still have the TV on. But you were really secretly bummed.

@llehuty: 1 vs 100 is a bit of a different animal from most games. They need to set up a studio with a host that speaks the language of the targeted country. They have to ensure that giving away points and games doesn't violate local laws (several states are excluded from 1vs 100 prizes in the US).

@spiderweb1986: I got into the mob last week. No button mashing.

The 360's clamshell packaged points cards are already activated.

@deanbmmv:

I fidget constantly, and I always seem to be able to keep my weight constant. I pace while talking on the phone. I tap my leg while sitting. I swivel my chair constantly.

Richard Feynman was as close to a modern day renaissance man as you can get. Although he would probably hate that term. It was horrible to lose him so so early in his life when he had so much more to give to the world. :(

@Windowlicker: Forza 2 and 3 support the Fanatec Porsche wheels. And they are awesome. Inside Sim Racing thinks that they are better than the G25.

Tie ratio is not the same as attach rate. It says so right in the article.

A 10 to 15% increase now would get them back to 2008 levels. ;)

I've been to the Strong museum. It is awesome. My son, my wife and I all had a lot of fun there.

@Vetterli: I doubt that Heavy Rain will do even as well as Little Big Planet did.

@BlackNomad: That is what everyone said last year, too. But I don't think anyone would say that the 360 didn't have another kick-ass year in 2008.

@twesterms 2nd: I'm guessing it will show up on the dashboard for Silver members.

@SeraphX2: It isn't really possible to test games this complex under every situation. It gets even more complex when online is involved.

For a console that is supposedly doing so horribly in Europe, its doing remarkably well.
