@Firmkillernate: They've got that 7 day tryout thing on used games. You could always take 'em back and re buy them right away. You can even tell them exactly why you want to do that, and they will probably agree that it's a good idea.

Well, to be fair, the state of California thinks everything either causes cancer or is horrifically flammable.

Regarding risk on a weird multi-platform title, I think if you dangle "game from Katamari guy that looks like Katamari" in front of Nentendo and Xbox people, they'll by the hell out of it, too. It's not like those games aren't beloved to like 12 billion people already.

@MarquisMark: Yeah, Typical is a fine track. I would have preferred Chaos or Noticed from that album. They're both faster and more interesting on drums, I think. But whatev', I'm still buying that track.

Well, regarding driving, the best driving in any one of the GTA games was in Vice City for the PC with mouse driving turned on. It didn't have that "reset to zero" when you let go of the "wheel", but there was tons of analog, which made it fantastic for maintaining control at high speed. Analog sticks are fine on a…

And it should have tons of beards. After all, who has the time or the materials to shave in the Wasteland? No one, that's who!

@AznSlackerType: And there's the rub. If you could connect the controller to the PSP via a USB cable, games designers could just develop an extra layer of input functionality if they felt like it and support would happen without all of this messy "connect your PSP to your PS3 if you have one, then put the games in…

@ChibiKyKiske: They tell me that if you have Windows installed inside Parallels, you can play on a GMA 850 or 900. At least if you want to go that route.

@VicViper: re: why we pay $1.99 for a track in games

@y2julio: Nice smug attitude there sweetheart, but there are plenty of people who know a lot more about coding songs for Guitar Hero and Rock Band than you think. Maybe start here or here and do a little heavy reading.

@Mike918: Aww, fuckin' a, man. Linkin Park? I'm just gonna not buy it now.

@DashTheHand: It's definitely not illegal. A business can't discriminate in hiring based on sex, nationality, ethnicity, disability, and a host of other reasons, including age, but laws on a business rejecting customers are much less restrictive.

@josh51: The principle at stake here is that the government is not permitted to force a private entity to do business with another specific private entity. If game retailers and producers are forced to do business with the ESRB specifically if they want to sell their video games, then the ESRB essentially can charge…

@kylo4: Well, when I searched google for "2 gb usb memory", I got these results:

Title stolen from the in game video game at your first house in San Andreas, "They Came From Uranus".

Speaking of cheap songs, why are the two new Mother Hips songs from last week $2 instead of $1? They're not exactly a front line band, I don't think. Seems like they'd go for cheaper.
