| | As they've mentioned previously, and like what they did with WoW, they are trying to make the graphics scalable so you don't need a great system and Vista to play it...Of course this being the 'home of the hardcore gamer' such concerns may seem simple to you, but I guess they want as many original Starcraft players to do the transition from the original to this without having to worry about slowdown or a new pc (within reason) Flag this | Edit this post |

| you have to remember that you don't know how much wear and tear those people's straps were getting? I hear about people spinning the wiimote round on the string, that and people always go too far, I mean if you look at some of the videos and you hear about people putting dents on their ceilings and flying through windows...
This is the problem with hindsight, it's always obvious after the damage is done, but I'm glad the mess up was with a bit of string and not with the wiimotes...
if this controversy was something like wiimotes shorting out cos they cannot take the fast motions, then you can blame Nintendo but otherwise it's just bad luck on Nintendo's part.
Oh and Gundam, http://nexgenwars.com/ states 1.7 million wii's sold, so there must be at the very least 3 million wiimotes out in usage, if none of them held up to any stress whatsoever there would be a nationwide crisis,lol Flag this | Edit this post |

| Hopefully Microsoft will feel the pressure and throw some proper money into the Live Arcade to start getting the real gems.
Now if Nintendo were willing to release translated Japanese only SNES games (Like Star Ocean/Tales Of Phantasia and a whole backlog of obscurely named games) instead of porting them souly for the game boy advance for £25-30 as well as hard to get games (Like Chrono Trigger) instead of games that are dirt common and played to death by everyone (I'm looking at you Super Mario) then Nintendo may be able to market the Virtual Console as more then just a cheap novelty.

| damn, say good bye to streaming anime archives :(
Besides, what else is there big on the internet that isn't owned by a huge corporation or open source/GNU licenced?
Google should have bought Skype outright, which is probably the only credible alternative to MSN/Windows Live messenger that people ACTUALLY use (...Then Combine with Apple and AOL and take over the world or at least get it back from M$ *kidding*)
Wikipedia/Mozilla Firefox are the two biggest things online that no corporation owns and that's only because if they were owned by corporations, then they'd become like Netscape and h2g2.com and shrivel up and die in obscurity whilst a new free pioneer starts.
But I think Google only bought youtube because they didn't want Yahoo/MSN getting their hands on it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | yeah, but this is Doom, people want it available on every piece of hardware possible, Gameboys, pdas, mobiles, mp3 players, it would not surprise me in the least if I read someone who could play doom on their microwave or something... Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I do think Sony have bitten off more then they can chew with this, I mean the PS2 launch was a big success but it didn't have a firmly established Xbox (Or any other big console) for less money to compete with, and dropping the price straight after launch will just annoy the enthaustic fans anyway.
