It seems like this hacker has gotten the best of all of you. Yasiel Rodriguez is not the hacker. He could have easily stolen that guys identity and used it as a catalyst for internet fame and everyone here is making fun of the "roid head". I think that this was the work of someone who clearly knows what he is doing......... But he still will probably get caught.
If you guys want a good example of non-linear JRPG goodness, just look at Final Fantasy VI. Every sidequest in the game fleshed out some part of the plot and strengthened your team in preparation for endgame.
All you idiots do not know the facts of this case. There were several thousand people who had their gamertags banned until 12/31/9999 and some that had BOTH the gamertag AND console banned. Anything that was purhcased legally on your gamertag is now gone if your gamertag is banned. Digital content can suck a dick because everything that you purchased is THEIRS and they can an do take it if you break one rule. The same rules don't apply to physical media. The EULA is their to screw people who open the door to be screwed. Just because you make a deal with the devil doesn't that that deal is legitimate and will hold up in the court of law. Just like loan sharks.
With the price of many collector's edition games these days, this package doesn't seem TOO bad. It would be much better if the goodies were of the physical media variety though. What's next? Collector's edition games on the PSP Go and Steam?
Oh, btw. There are few people that I dislike online more than D.S.P. (Darksydephil) and aggie ceo. I wish to jeebus that they would just stop posting on my favorite sites.
I hate it when people follow the stupid double standard by saying "HDMI is better that component" and then fix their lips to say that the quality of an hdmi cable is insignificant. The quality difference that you get from a 4 dollar "monoprice" cable and a cable that actually has enough bandwidth is going to give you a difference in picture much in the same way that component and HDMI are different i.e. minuscule but somewhat noticeable. And if your decision to switch from component to hdmi is for "convenience" think about how "convenient" it is to have your hdmi cable break into your television or video component, having to ship it back and get replacement and waiting for it to arrive.
If you want BETTER quality, get an hdmi cable that is sufficient. A lexus and a camry can both drive around the world. One just does a MUCH better job getting you to your destination.
