How could they control it when they stole it from Nintendo? I'm not all that keen about the placing of the left analog on Sony controllers either (it looks pretty tacked-on, I have to say), but 3rd-party controllers often have a noticeably lower-quality feel to them. Buttons may be squishy or...

It's a bit of a bummer that the battery can't be removed, but it's not the end of the world if one has the forethought to pre-emptively attach the charging cable when they're done gaming every once in a while. Unless they're really heavy gamers (ie: school dropouts or unemployed, possibly...

I read, thank you. And you're not making any sense, you're not adding anything new to what I was talking about. For example, I already remarked about having to press buttons to actually get the movie started, which you'd seen if you'd read. :p

You'd need a way of remote controlling these PS3s though - it's not fun running around pulling out the video, keyboard, mouse cords and plugging them into different machines. Once that problem is solved (and it's probably accomplished pretty easily, there are remote desktop type programs out...

I'm a bit surprised IGN (or is it famitsu?) describes both system startup and BR movie playback as taking less than 10 seconds, which according to them is 'fast'. I guess you people could call me impatient...but upwards of 10 seconds isn't fast, okay? MS advertises vista hibernates in less...

The talk about how modern medicine could spread cancer genes is a pure logical snafu. People dying from cancer for thousands of years hasn't eradicated the disease, that there now exist at least partically effective cures for pretty much all forms of cancer (if it's diagnosed in time) just means...

Oh, so flipper CAN do more than 640 pixels per line. :) Well, I'd easily settle for 853, that's for sure. Btw, does that require dropping alpha support or cutting down to 6 bits/channel or any of those other quirky GC video modes?

Hey, they didn't even give away the fricken horse armor for free, you expect them to give away NINE KNIGHTS now? Get real, wouldja! ;) Actually, that bethesda charges for EVERYTHING oblivion-related (except for patches, which I guess we have to be thankful we don't have to pay for also) is...

If you take a peek in my 'secksi wii cables' thread, you'll find a linkee to a nice 5-prong component lead, but that doesn't actually make the video HD per se. :p From what I understand, it's not a requirement from Nintendo that all games HAVE to support even 480P, much less 480P at 16:9...

From what Nintendo's been saying, wii has no HD capabilities at all. Considering that the opera browser actually runs in normal 4:3 screen aspect ratio, it might be that the only way to achieve widescreen on wii is to stretch the screen (which would deform web graphics), rather than to actually...

Yet it isn't anything that the hardware hasn't had the ability to do all along, just because the SDK gains more built-in capabilities isn't reason to go all trumpeting around and making threads left and right. I'm sure the PS and N64 SDKs gained new capabilities too every now and then back in...

Yeah, so what? That doesn't mean there is anything that hasn't been 'yet revealed', as the topic subject line says. We've known about these features for a long time now, before the 360 was launched in fact, they're not new, and programmers have had access to them before now as well. Just...

I believe there's a duplicate (and equally overblown) thread about this very thing in the console tech forum. In any case, it's pretty much a case of taking something such as this, and turning it into something such as THIS! Loada hullabaloo about maybe not nuttin, but not the...

Well, you know, once they do get here after that horrible traffic jam just past the shoulder of orion and having missed an exit at alpha centauri, they're bound to be flying on fumes, and these crashes likely occurred because they plain simple ran outta gas. No Interstellar Exxon stations on...

Dunno 'unsalvagly inefficient', it runs (much) faster than doom3-type engines on my PC... That may be due to the lack of realtime stencil shadows tho, but it sure can produce some very nice graphics regardless. If you believe source to be unsalvagly inefficient, mind telling me/us why that...
