Say it together now: DRM blows.

It means you don't actually own the TV, game, or media you just "bought" at the store.

YES!

This story made my thesis paper for grad school -- "My exhaustive search for the world's loneliest virgin" -- all the more easy!

Thanks Joystiq!

The PS3 one look like some kind of sick, anime bobsled team.

Good point, Blake. There will always be "hardcore" gamers in the video games industry, it's just that with each passing year (and the process has been sped up considerably thanks to Nintendo, lately), they become more and more irrelevant to a developer/publisher's bottom line. GoW is a nice bookend to the popularity of "hardcore" gaming, methinks. It's a good game, but offers nothing new to those of us with more progressive aspirations in mind. It really is time for something new. You can only pay for the same thing over and over again a certain number of times before you just quit the biz entirely.

Um, Gears of War is going to be on PC too. Just wait for it.

Did one person in this thread forget no one really wants the $500 version? And Sony itself is splitting distribution 80-20 in favor of the $600 version?

Funny, I thought ol' JB Cougar had been banned from Joystiq. Interesting.

DS Lite sales actually went UP 35k in the week of a major console launch. Reflects well on Nintendo, or poorly on Sony?

"the Man Room postulated that the PS3 has some HDMI handshaking issues and their apparent resolution is to keep rebooting until it works right."

What, are they software developers? Reboot and fix itself? Sounds like Windows to me.
