GameStop GTA IV data: 360 easily outsells PS3, not per console though

May 12th 2008 7:46PM (Joystiq)
Two large US retailers (ok BB and CC) had GTA4 bundles. So I actually got a second 360 and then a copy of GTA for $10.00

So I wonder if that drove 360 sales any, since they did not have a PS3 bundle.

Spore, Mass Effect to require online validation every 10 days

May 7th 2008 2:35PM (Joystiq)
I am buying Spore and I am ok with the DRM on this, just because Will took a long time to make this and it deserves to make money. I do not like DRM as a rule, but then again I never pirate anything either. Ok there was that, but it was only that, and it was 10 years ago (plus I think that means I can run for president now).

As a business owner I understand the need to protect your property, your revenue, your profit margin. With software it is a never ending battle, DRM is not the perfect solution, but you have to start somewhere. Where I really do not like DRM is with music and movies, if I want to store my DVD's on a hard drive, I should be able to do that (I know I can, but what hassle).

On a side not I just found my Wing Commander manual (Tiger Claw)! Now to find a 286...

Valve: Left4Dead will come to PS3 if another dev wants to port it

I agree with Zeus, I do not see the PS4 being cell based, but most likely PowerPC with lots of cores. (Xbox 720 and PS4 will be race of the cores, and ATI vs Nvidia for the gfx.)

So from a Valve point of view (which HL2 was amazing when it came out on PC, and still looks great on the consoles BTW), why double your staff just for one console. Your PC dev team can handle the 360, and to a degree the Wii (which Valve will have a title on soon).

Wii pole dancing plans confirmed, fitness to blame

So what would my wife say if I bought a WiiPolemote, and put it in the bedroom?

Would I be better off just buying the stripper? Or both?

Qmotions to bring 'active gaming' controllers to Xbox 360

May 1st 2008 9:53PM (Joystiq)
In 1998 MS came out with the Freestyle Pro (gasp motion control - google it), it was horrid for FPS, RTS, RPG, but it was fun in motocross, racing, flight sim, etc.

Motion control is old news, next??

I think this line is longer than the ones for the PS3, thank goodness for the 360!
