It's a spoiler to see place names on a map? You can easily look up any place in the world on a map, does that mean it's then useless to go and see it?

In my own anal fashion, I was bothered by the pronunciation of the 'v' in Sovngarde in the game. They go the trouble of attempting "nordic" style accents but don't do anything about the English pronunciation of the words.

Americans do more than their share of the work in continuing that stereotype. My statement is based on the over-whelming amount of Americans I've come across who are incredibly ignorant about the wider World.

Yeah, if he doesn't like the 10 ten things he's listed here, then why would he try any Elder Scrolls game, let alone do so repeatedly?

"First of all, "Jorrvaskr"? Where'd they get that one? An opening Scrabble hand, perhaps?" The names of people and places in this game are based on a Nordic style. It's incredibly ignorant to judge a game because it's based on a language style not your own. It comes across as, and leads you to suspect the author is,…

Careful with those. You'll have someone's eye out.

Because their web developer seems to be a bit of a dick who seems to goes out of his way to annoy people by adding obnoxious "features" no one wants. The last one was his "this comment is too short" shit, and now this.

The more important question is why someone limited to 250MBs per day is leaving "hundreds" of tabs open?

If the console died through RRoD, then Microsoft had them covered for free. If it died during any other reason, then that's no different from any other consumer electronic item failing and that's got nothing to do with anything. If people wanted to buy a 360 without the hard drive, either through choice or through…

The amount of tracks or car models stored on the disc has nothing to do with performance of the game engine. There was NO need whatsoever to point out that it runs at 30fps as being negative. It's just looking for things to nitpick on.

So they only come through for the customers once the lawsuits started rolling it? I fucking hate the way this company conduct themselves.

I don't call bullshit, I call a smart marketing move. They could have two distinct SKUs that have very different markets. The cheaper version isn't aimed at the hardcore crowd and the expensive version isn't aimed at the casual crowd. I see this as being a very smart idea.

What dick move? The arcade allowed people to play 360 games at the cheapest possible price. A hard drive was not required. If you want it, you pay for it. You can't buy the cheaper version and complain that you don't get all the perks of the more expensive version. They could just have not bothered their arse to offer…

Look at you guys jumping through hoops just to get puns on here.

It does seem a stroke of genius. They've identified that the Wii sold shit tons because it was cheap, offered something 'different' and appealed to the casual market. A "360 lite", if you will, that plays XBLA games, kinect games and costs like $150, with a full console for gamers at like $300? Those would sell beyond…

Idiots? I think you'll find that the two SKU idea has been working fine with the 360. I think you'll also find that Microsoft brought a lot of innovative ideas forward with the Xbox & 360, which the market now considers "must haves" and competitors try to match. Somehow you fail to see that and therefore wrongly…

If it's true that the next gen xbox is a totally different architecture (which it very likely will be), then it very likely it won't be backwards compatible. You saw the trouble the Xbox "emulation ninjas" had getting Xbox titles to run on the totally different 360 architecture, I doubt they're going to get all the…

Yeah, I can't foresee any problems with an all digital media future. No, wait...[consumerist.com]

Well, they don't release a "x86" and "x64" version. They're both on the same disc and the majority of users don't know which version is being installed. To the best of my knowledge, you can't buy just one or the other.

In what way was the original Xbox "defective"?
