Yoshi Likes Boys

psst....the NES and the apple II have the same processor

good job tech blog guy

quick everyone out there in engadget land, price mistake ahoy, now i can add a point to my post quota

How about updating the chart, since it's almost definitely not $2100 for a 64GB SSD.

This is the right move at the right price. I'm pleased about this. Now if only HMX wasn't too lazy to allow the Wii Les Paul to work with Wii Rock Band.

ITT joystiq fails game theory

all i want is a rock band with instruments that don't break and a guitar that's not a piece of shit and i don't want to have a 360 just for that purpose

See, the funny thing is that I've used Harmonix's peripherals, and if there's one thing Harmonix should NOT be confident about with the shit they're peddling to go along with their excellent game, it's quality.

By strongly promoted, I'm assuming you mean "released a version of the PS3 game to market without Les Paul support and planned to 'fix in post,' which allowed Activision to step in and block the patch."

How about shipping a game with a line of patently defective peripherals? And how about it being APRIL 08 and you can only NOW buy standalone guitars for the PS3? The only way to play 4 player PS3 RB prior to this would have been to buy 2 $170 bundles (so roughly what it will cost in Europe).

Yeah, but EA is. Remember who's really pulling the strings here, RB has been a huge consumer screwjob from the beginning.

According to the threads over in the Orange Box forum on Steam's forum, these are all fixes for Team Fortress II, and do nothing about the pathetic load times and framerate issues on the other games. FAIL.

I'm sure you're not excusing EA's absurd behavior here, Crono. Both companies should be embarrassed for letting that pile of shit out the door, and both names should be rightfully tarnished for even needing to put this patch out. Probably more EA than Valve, but that's another story. It's good that they finally got around to fixing the issues, but 4 months too late.
