It's still baffling that these titles aren't released to look good on HDTVs; the whole platform behind the beloved 360 experience.

This amazed me too; why wouldn't these XBLA titles be made to look good on HDTVs? So with adjusting the settings can this go full screen and look decent?

Brian, you're right. This country is in a ridiculous state of political [in]correctness. Hopefully Europe doesn't follow course with its increasingly volatile immigration issues. The movement to pull this Sony ad is more racist than the ad itself. But Americans are too blind to see. And yes I live in NYC; arguably the most culturally diverse metropolis in the world.

KawF - nicely put. At least someone has perspective here. Engadget is representing the majority and sickly overly sensitive political [in]correctness this country is diseased with.

1) How is this racist? It depicts a beautiful white woman struggling with a beautiful black woman. Clearly the white woman is in focus because this is the product attribute meant to be highlighted here. Are people interpreting this as "Sony is showing white women to be stronger than black women"? How absurd is that?!
2) In my opinion the agency here (TBWA?) is communicating the white attribute through attractive women [using great art direction]; plain and simple. I honestly feel there's no intent to stir public debate. No respectable advertising agency would risk a PR debacle for its client simply to increase viewership.
3) On initial viewing I took away a sexy white quality of the PSP; no sense of racism at all. But I guess that's me. Maybe because I'm not racist, live in NYC, and work in the advertising industry.
4) I'll end on a question. How is Sony to satisfy the charge of promoting a white version of its PSP? Won't any attempt at pitting this vs. the black version be considered racist? In the field of modern electronics black is certainly beautiful; although white has its moments. Wait, is that reverse racism?

"People before money"; except that your people aren't making the products you want in this case, which is why your people come to us (with your money). Apple doesn't have to sell you shit. I hope Jobs pulls out and lets the vikings fend for themselves.

Message for you European socialists,

Apple doesn't have to sell you shit. They are not one of your government-run "companies". Your high quality of lilfe isn't due to your ability to control capitalism. Although you do contribute to our economy by buying our products; thank you. Instead of fighting [and trying to control] Apple why don't you innovate and create your own products and services?
