    Final Fantasy 8 and Vagrant Story coming soon to PSN

    Well, it's something. This is one of the only FFs I never finished. I, too, would like to see CTR. Better yet, remake CTR for the PS3. Don't people like cart racers anymore? The genre variety has gone way down since the PS1/PS2.

    Final Fantasy 6 which way should I play it?

    GBA resolution is 240x160 while the SNES is 256x224. The Sony SPC700 sound chip in the SNES is also noticeably better than the GBA's. The GBA was kind of pathetic considering the SNES was a whopping 11 years older, but... Nintendo has a history of being overly stingy on hardware. I recommend...

    PSP Go thread-

    Yeah, people don't realize how expensive it must be to make that thing. I don't see devices with this big screen, 16gb flash memory, bluetooth, wifi, powerful internals selling for less than $200 just yet. Maybe next year and it's probably the reason Sony has decided to continue selling the old...

    PSP Go thread-

    I disagree, this is the most pocket-friendly model of the PSP yet. And they don't need exclusive content, they simply need to cease producing old models. UMD is a mechanical battery hog, people went out of their way to rip their games just to avoid the damn thing. If flash memory had been this...

    PSP Go thread-

    Looks great, dunno what all the negativity is about. Digital downloads is definitely a good move for the portable market. UMD wasn't terrible, but it was a battery sucker compared to flash and now that flash is more economical, it's the clear choice. Very clever design hiding the buttons beneath...

    “PS3 in Danger of Dying” Crowd Debunked

    Uhh, can we we have some context on what the numbers on the left mean? And omg, the PS3 has 0 sales so far in 2009. Abandon ship!

    “PS3 in Danger of Dying” Crowd Debunked

    And yet, if you're going to buy a blu-ray player, why wouldn't you choose 1 unit over 2? You'd have half the clutter and bonuses like free netplay, a hard drive, and wireless support. Not to mention that the PS3 has far more resources devoted to its high userbase than some random stand-alone...

    “PS3 in Danger of Dying” Crowd Debunked

    MGS, God of War, and Gran Turismo are the system movers. GTA and FF are, too, but those are multiplatform. LBP and Resistance 2? Fat chance, those franchises have nowhere near the familiarity, and LBP at least is altogether unfamiliar. Nothing against the games, they're just not big movers at...

    “PS3 in Danger of Dying” Crowd Debunked

    While I don't consider Nintendo products as competing for the same money demographic, there was no debate on my part that the gaming industry is booming and Sony did the worst in a small field, if you're going by units and not money. But you need to understand that I'm not addressing that, I'm...

    “PS3 in Danger of Dying” Crowd Debunked

    The real numbers and logical forecasts. ====================================== TOTAL SALES TO DATE: 360 (nov2005-now) - 28 million (9.0m per year average) PS3 (nov2006-now) - 20 million (9.7m per year average) Here we see a very tight race with the 360 currently leading total sales...

    Amazon Buy 3 Save $20, Buy 6 Save $50, Buy 10 Save $100 Blu Ray

    Nice, got 6 Bonds, Mrs. Doubtfire, Point Blank, Sand Pebbles, and something to fleebay (Longest Day). The longest day transfer had too much DNR applied like Patton and destroyed detail, according to reviews. And just a heads up to others, some of these are on sale for similar reasons. Live Free...

    What's with this big anti-tax movement?

    Prices for everything, including labor, are determined by supply and demand, not government. Certainly, government can create artificial demand with inflation, which is why bubbles happen to the extent that they do. But in the global marketplace, everything is an auction where prices are...

    Now Who's a Socialist?

    Oh, god, that is such nonsense. First, consider the exchange rate and the cost of living in those countries relative to the United States. Wages here don't equal wages there, nor should they. That they accept these wages in dollar terms of their own volition shows you how much more it is than...

    Xbox360: $50 Price Cut coming (weekend of 7/13)

    I disagree immensely. The price from discount must be taken into account and you are simply focusing on the nominal value of the drop rather than the percentage of the drop. A $100 drop from $1,000 is not as significant as a $100 drop on $200. 10% vs 50%. Because the PS3 started at $599 and was...

    Star Wars Complete Saga PS3 $24.98 @ Lego.com

    Sales figures have little singular correlation to how good something is over something else. This is sheepish thinking. It's the same reason Britney Spears and the iPod do so much better than equally good competitors. Not because, substantively, they're better, but because if it's selling...

    Let's Privatize the Fire Department and Police Department

    As far as blackwater is concerned: unlike soldiers, they're not really accountable under domestic, military, or Iraqi jurisdiction for any crimes they commit. They're not private in the sense that you or I hired them to perform a service. They're a federally compensated corporation being paid...

    Let's Privatize the Fire Department and Police Department

    Yeah, the USPS could probably be abolished, but imagine how bad it would be if competition were disallowed entirely. Thank god we're not entirely socialist in that regard. http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=reports_postal Police forces on the other hand are a difficult analogy to...

    Nine Free HDDVD's with Purchase of Player at Best Buy

    Even though it seems like a good deal on the surface, I would rather invest $150 in the winning format than throw it away on a dying format. Consider the following: 9 movies (HD-DVD versions) = $0 HD-DVD player = $150 Blu-Ray or Dual format Player (eventually) = $300/$500 vs. 9 movies...
