@AndroidRokz I think the point was(and I agree), isn't the point of going android the relative ease with which one should be able to scale the OS?

It "looks" like a mobile phone version plunked onto a tablet. what with the icons being so small and spaced so far apart.

yes, i know it's changed for "x" number of reasons. It just looks a little sloppy. now, if they gave it a properly suited interface. I'm all for it.

comments galore!!

Gremlins. Only, not the Gizmo furry variety. The eat after midnight, Stripe kind that will kill you.

@Moris
I'm not saying that this type of content isn't beneficial, as are the benefits of keeping the creative mind active. I also work full time in the creative field and can find it difficult sometimes to keep the flow going outside of the day to day design work.

I spent many a year doing mod work for quake and counterstrike, but unfortunately these days a lot of my spare time is spent on freelance/contract outside when I'm not trying to get in my gaming. And that's my own doing.

Just saying that they seem to have neglected what is potentially a way of keeping the game 'new', not only for current owners, but new ones as well.
There is a growing number of people who feel "left out". and it's unfortunate that they feel that way. Especially for a game of this type.

Agreed. They've totally missed out on a lot of potential long term customers because of the lack of any REAL expansion style DLC. I know many people who sold their copy because they expected actual content to be coming down the pipe but never got it.

I haven't bought any of the DLC/costumes. Because, well, I don't want more costumes. I've had it since launch and I've been waiting for a new original set of levels (more than the few that the MGS stuff added). I also don't care if it's licensed, I just want content. I'm borderline on trading it in. I just don't care to wait anymore.

Attempts at finding levels online was fruitless and less than fun. It's all disjointed. I tend to play a lot of the time 'offline'. I want a series of levels, strung together, in the same style and of at least some respectable length. As well, new level building stuff doesn't interest me as I don't have the time to create levels for myself. There's a job and personal life to deal with.

@Major4Play. don't forget, not everyone is old enough to have read/watched Alice in Wonderland. Calling him illiterate is a little extreme. It would also have done you well to EXPLAIN the phrase and perhaps answer his question (it's a valid question to ask if you don't know the term).

-> Hatters were people who made hats. Mercury was used for curing the felt, which of course led to mercury poisoning. Who then appeared to be "mad" or mentally unstable.

hence, as mad as a hatter.

This is often due in part to compression. I remember this mentioned when the original was posted. Over compression creates artifacts around things like text. This is just more visible due to the contrast.

depending on how the photo was taken, original compression, and then processing compression. -> "save for web" does this. That's how you get smaller files.

It's just not likely to be a photoshop job specifically because of that. If anything, it would have been a one off prototype whipped up by the casing manufacturer. Once molds are made, it's easy to change similar material types, colours and coatings.

It's disappointing though that the retail version isn't matte. :(

and also. man, I wish people would stop all the anti/pro apple agruements. sigh... gadget site, it's a popular gadget (available here), lots of people want to read it. get over it.

This is awesome! I hope FS gets it in stock soon.
I have the Nyko. in addition to mentioned drawbacks. The nyko is "technically" a controller. -> uses USB port, registers in #1 controller spot if you leave it plugged in, AND, it has a VERY minimal amount of commands. only controller button presses. It's not passing BT remote codes.

The Logitech sends remote codes. As the BT remote. Power on without needing controller. A+

-> also. some ppl stream more than they use dvd/bd.

Granted it's a bit of an oversight.
But really, nowadays to be playing without even a monitor that can support HD res is a little hard to believe. I mean, if anything, go and buy a 19" CRT to play it on, that could easily do HD (even if 4:3) and be fine to play at a reasonable distance (they're also extremely cheap nowadays).

And at this point to "expect" these things to be dumbed down to play on a 14"SDTV is a little outlandish. I mean, c'mon Those of us that work hard for our hobby are getting tired of jumbo sized, blurry text in games (I am at least).
