Is AT&T moving up your iPhone upgrade date?

Jun 6th 2010 8:49PM (TUAW.com)
Mine was 12/8/2010 as of around the time Gizmodo revealed the iphone they "acquired". It has been updated so that I'm able to upgrade now. /me thinks this means a Verizon iphone is almost certain, and AT&T is trying to keep customers desperately. So long as I can keep my unlimited plan I have no issues sticking with AT&T.

The Daily Grind: Are you still playing a September MMO?

Nov 6th 2009 9:44AM (Massively)
Still subscribed to Champions (and Age of Conan)...because I WANT to play it...but there are too many good single/multiplayer titles coming out this time of the year. Happened last year too...my game list gets overloaded. Some titles get no attention (Champions) while others get far too much attention. Fortunately that attention is only temporary until I get my fill of the game.

Hell I still haven't finished Fable 2 from LAST year's game overload. Wonder which games will get that status for next year.

Not bothering with buying it now. Waiting until the PC version hits. For the release I'm renting it on the 360 though.

One excuse...no...I like my excuse...I want to play it on the superior platform...the PC. I unfortunately I have to wait for no reason whatsoever except the fact that they want to drive people to buy the more expensive version on the consoles.

And for the record I own all three...PC, 360, PS3. I definitely prefer my PC for most games.

Nice try...but come back when it can actually be considered a "Working" Pip-Boy. At the very least a web app...if not a full blown app for it.

Amazon: 12+1 months of Live for $29.97!

Yeah I won't be surprised if they make it go free...Major Nelson is even promoting it. That tells me they are urging a lot of people to get them now before they drop the bomb and make it free. They're hooking me with this one...the deal is too good to pass up.

I ordered 2 yesterday from Buy.com but got a notice today saying they won't ship to unverified addresses with Paypal...oh well...I save on shipping I guess...bought 2 from Amazon instead...free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime (which has definitely paid for itself since I started it).

PlayStation press release breaks down the real price of consoles

Jan 8th 2009 11:59AM (Joystiq Playstation)
I own both...and these fanboy arguments really get on my nerves.

Costs are basically awash...you get the option you want you will be spending around $500 (easily on the PS3, less easily on the 360)...if you can't afford that then don't get a console. PS3 has options built in (I don't use the wifi). 360 costs less but has fewer options built in.

Get the console that has the games you want.

Get a PS3 if you want Bluray (sorry but Bluray is expensive as hell and will probably die out within a couple of years).

Get a 360 if you want cheap HD (HD-DVD drive goes for $40 now and movies are frequently just as cheap as regular DVDs).

Both can do wireless. Both can stream movies for the cost of a PlayOn purchase.

Each sides has it's own merits...no one console is better in everything than the other...360 definitely has flaws..but so does the PS3...it is not perfect either.

RRoD is the "Hitler" of any Console argument...the minute you mention it you lose the argument.

Blu-ray releases for the week of December 28th

Serenity has been on HD-DVD for a while now, so this is not it's debut in HD...just it's debut on Bluray.

Sony blocks entire Netflix movie library from streaming to the Xbox 360 [update]

Nov 19th 2008 2:20AM (Joystiq Xbox)
It's not just Columbia Pictures movies...it's all movies by companies owned by Sony Pictures. That includes Columbia Pictures, Tristar, and Screen Gems (Resident Evil series) among others.

This is Sony's way of getting back at Microsoft for them not making a Bluray addon for the 360 and all the exclusives they lost to the 360.
