Official image, near as I can tell. I think you can scout out the full image somewhere in these comments. It is from some magazine.

This is actually supposed to be different forms of Mewtwo, not a new pokemon that just looks like Mewtwo. I'm guessing something similar to Deoxys.

Agreed!

I like to think of it the other way around (microsoft caught Sony through a strong American market), but yes, you're right. Perhaps this is why Sony isn't doing it, but Microsoft is.

The only thing I can say about that is that the market over there for games has never really been that big anyway. Kind of a rude thing to say, but true. The only downside would be that they lost a potential market, not a market they are currently in.

Yes, having poor internet connection is a real issue, and I commented on another reply that I don't think that America is ready for always-on specifically because our infrastructure just isn't ready to handle the demand of it.

Hm, you bring up some good points, but consider this. If you scorn 'a few potential customers' they're going to buy from your competitors. So when Sony gets an influx of consumers I don't think they're going to mind having a few more pirates, a few more cheaters, and some second hand sales. Those are things I want…

Tell me about it, lol. Well, it doesn't bother me that much. At least only one person was an actual prick to me. Everyone else was content to just debate. That said, perhaps this points to a flaw in the comments system of 'New'taku. When I have to keep repeating myself it must mean that something is wrong...

If that is true then he should have had the sense not to put this out on a public forum. EVERYONE! IN THE WORLD! should know by now that things will be taken the worst possible way. It isn't about being PC at this point, it is just dumb to say things that sound bad to an outsider looking in.

Actually, comparatively, the US has crappy infrastructure when it comes to online connectivity. Always on might not be so bad in places like Japan, where the X-Box is owned by about... 4 people. Yea, I don't see the sense. The X-Box sells in America, lets be frank, so I don't see why it is the X-Box that is trying…

Lol, wow! I knew that certain ISPs were pissed, but I didn't think they were that senseless! Who doesn't want faster internet?!

...Stahp.

Please note my response to that in my responses to everyone else bringing up the whole 'you will be affected/ server issues' thing. It was a poor choice of words on my part, but I think I've clarified my claim in subsequent posts.

Yea, I remember when PSN and Live went down. As I said before, SimCity was my way of saying 'People on the other side are not infallible, and can and will mess up'.

Eek! My heart goes out to you... Here's hoping Google Fiber steps up the game.

Yea, that is what I meant by referencing SimCity. Server issues, and problems that stem not from the user, but the manufacturer.

As I said before, I'm seeing where the complaints are coming from now. It isn't as simple as being online, there is more involved. It is like blocking used games. I used to think 'Meh, I buy everything new anyway' then I realized that it would destroy tournaments for fighting games, at least on any console that does…

Yea, not the smartest decision.

Alright, I'm someone who is of two minds on this issue. I honestly will not be affected by this. I live in major cities and have the interwebz, and all that good stuff. So, for a while, I didn't see the issue. If you can get online to complain about 'always on' then I didn't see the issue at all. Obviously you had the…
