Some are indeed chuckle-worthy, but that doesn't excuse the blatant false advertising.

Such is the stuff of dreams.

To be fair though, if 2 and 5 are upheld, then 1 shouldn't really be necessary. Besides, return policies are typically set by retailers, not publishers.

This is just a sales ploy to get the maximum number of people to pick up the Xbox version instead of holding out for a PC version.

They originally said there would be no PC port of the first Gears way back when. Look how that turned out.

You're right. The aiming system on the PC versions of GTA were always superior to the consoles.

I'm a little embarrassed that I failed to mention that.

I wonder if this will even be playable because with each new console version of GTA Rockstar has increased the complexity of the controls.

This may be nice for the console folk, but it makes it a nightmare when they final get around to doing a PC port.

I still have nightmares about rapidly tapping keys in San Andreas.

Native PC controls = WIN
Console controls ported to PC = FAIL

Is this going to replace the current 80GB model as well? If so, that mean there will be be no backwards compatibility options for new PS3 owners.

Removing of features (any features) = FAIL

Agreed. I would much rather they release a full-featured 40GB model for $399.

I've had my PS3 for a year now, and I've used a grand total of 5/60 GB

I'm surprised you didn't include an 8800GTS for comparison in your benchmarks.

It would be reasonable to assume that those interested in the Akimbo would be GTS buyers looking to save a little money.

Never bothered with the Playstation Store, but I've been waiting for DTS-MA support since July '07.

Thank you Sony for not burning me (for once).

No problems here thus far (Vista Ultimate 32-bit). All in all, it's pretty transparent.

The things I notice the most are the added ability to choose the drive(s) you want to defragment (although there is still no indication of progress) and the removal of "Search" from the start menu. The latter is particularly annoying if you're like me and always use "advanced" searches.

Grievous sound retarded like he did in RoTS. They should have kept the voice-actors from the original Clone Wars.

Smells like a money-grab to me. I'd be happier if Mainframe would finish Reboot.

*sigh* I want my Resident Evil requel.

MK was a great game and a decent movie, but I think its time has passed.

However, if they seriously wanted to make another go at this property, it should be on TV as an hour-long or mini-series. I mean, they could introduce a new character every episode for two seasons if they wanted.

This card would be a attractive offering to those currently looking to purchase an 8800 GTX/Ultra but want the benefit of a lower price and retain media acceleration for HD/BD movies.

However, it's likely nVidia's next offering will provide the same benefits with improved performance.

Meh. Let me know when they're fully naked, grinding against the hoods, and spraying each other with garden hoses.

As for this, they should just say it's art and they would've been covered. ;) Instead it's bye-bye spine.

This isn't the full remake of RE: The Movie that I was hoping for, but it could potentially be better because I doubt they'll try and mass-market it. It could be truer to the original material (although it wouldn't take much).

The Advent Children/Spirits Within analogy is a good one. Made for the fans VS. Mass-market. I agree 100%.

I just hope they do a decent dubbing job.

If they can remake The Hulk after just a few years, they can remake Resident Evil and actually make it good.

Come on, what say you?

Any word yet on when that's going to happen (the 65nm CPU)?

It's a dirty question, but somebody had to ask it.

I'm personally hoping in time for Halo 3.

Throw in a free copy of Halo 3 (not Table Tennis!) and I'm sold! It'll never happen, but it was a nice thought.
