Rovio's Vesterbacka defends mobile games, calls out Nintendo's '$49 pieces of plastic'
Mar 30th 2011 2:33PM (Joystiq)I agree with your points.
I want to add that the video game industry really is on the edge of falling into the same pit that the music and movie industries have fallen into. That is a disruptive business model. And companies like Rovio and Zynga are as close to a real disruptive business model as one has gotten in the VG industry. Nintendo, Sony, and MS really need to realize is that all it will take is a company like Rovio creating a AAA title that rivals a disc-based game and sells it for way less than $60 for a console. I think that if a company can pull this off, they'll make a mountain of $$ and kill the console industry.

All 1,031 of Gran Turismo 5's cars catalogued
Nov 15th 2010 10:26AM (Joystiq)As a proud S2000 owner, there are actually significant differences among the included models. Although the argument could be made to say it is excessive--but for me, it isn't.
And as far as the interiors go, I personally don't care for the interior view of the car. I know it is important for lots of folks, but I feel it just gets in the way of visibility when I'm playing.

Nov 15th 2010 10:21AM (Joystiq)Technically, RUF just buys the unmarked bodies and chassis from Porsche but everything else supposedly is RUF made/built. I think this is what you were saying, but just wanted to clarify for others since your post kind of made it sound like RUFs are knock-off Porsches and thats how Sony got around the licensing.
Kinect standalone power supply now available from Microsoft
Nov 9th 2010 9:09AM (Joystiq)To be fair, the PS3 controller does use a standard mini-USB cable--the plug with the PS3 controller is not proprietary as the kinect powersupply is. Most people have lots of mini-USB cables laying around their house. But you are correct, Sony could not be a cheap jerk and include a cable with the controllers.
But, the kinect thing is a moot issue as it really only affects people who decide to take the kinect to their friend's house and plug into their non-slim 360.

Aug 17th 2010 10:11AM (Engadget)For most people, yes. But I can see this very handy for the road-warrior business person who needs a portable projector.

Aug 16th 2010 4:41PM (Engadget)Screw that--I'd rather either Verizon/Google/Moto push the froyo update. I'm getting tired of my audio screwing up when I'm listening to pandora.
