Yup, much like this "engineering masterpiece" is putting lipstick on a pig.

HYPERBOLE FTW!!!

@ Raynre:

Read this post about how GC optical discs work:

I doubt that making the disc spin the opposite way would foil piracy for more than a few days.

@ Greg:

The GC discs spin clockwise, just like most optical media (flip the lid open when a disc spins up if you don't believe me). The reason the discs are so unusual is due to the two bardcodes - one plainly visible on the shiny part of the disc's ring, and the other just inside the data segment, almost so small as to be dismissed as nothing important. These handle authentication and encryption.

Optimus needs to shut the fuck up and stop pretending that he knows anything about gaming consoles.

Your roomie looks stupid and faggy in his "baby blue" shirt.

That's my honest opinion :)

"Big N" isn't much better either. How about we call them "Nintendo"?

@ aex

"I've said this on another blog, but who is to say that Nintendo's control is BETTER than the old style? Just because something is new, and different, and maybe innovative doesnt necessarily make it BETTER. Look at the DS, they have their new, different and innovative touch pad, yet a good amount of the best games on that system, dont even use it any farther than a Gimmick. Hell in some games, starfox for one, I'd rather they give me a choice to use the old controls from SNES than force that touch pad down my throat. In others the game would be completely the same without the touch pad."

First you complain that developers aren't taking advantage of the hardware, then you complain you'd rather not use it when someone does. There's no pleasing some people.

@ Dylan:

GameSpot has it down for 8th Dec, but take that with a pinch of salt...
