I've never been that attached to a console, just the games. I always trade consoles in and then buy them again. I got rid of my original Xbox at one point and then rebought a Halo Edition one. I had a Halo Edition 360, but I gave that, after it red ringed, to a friend of mine. I was attached to it a little bit, but I eventually gave it up. I'm on my third 360 now.
Clearly Microsoft was thinking that too, but had to backpedal. These companies want everything online so they can increase profits. No product to ship, monthly fees, quick online transactions, microtranactions, no more piracy, no used sales. It's win win for them, but clearly the public is not ready. They are going to try hard to convince us this is the way by slow seduction. It will probably work in the long run. I'm going to wake up one day and all my games will be useless unless I'm connected to the internet.
I couldn't figure it out but the web site to upload to is gone for 360. However, the Wii version allows you to copy your work to a memory card for printing, so maybe the 360 version will allow that too. Once a file is on a card, then you can upload it anywhere you want. When i get a chance to use it, I'll figure this out.
Is having the OLED screen that much better than LCD? This is making me worried. Maybe I should get a Vita now before they replace it with the cheaper model.
I don't see the Assassin's Creed comparison, but it looks totally Dark Souls which is likely to make this a system seller for me.
The uDraw things are in every retail store in big piles for all systems. It's price had been going down down down. Now at $10 their practically giving it away and I thought it would be neat to have one at that price.
Riddick was good. I love the visual look of the movie and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role. Dave Bautista is in it too. I've seen him in several films already and am very impressed with his look. He's built like a human tank! He's amazing as Brass Body in Man with the Irion Fists.
Anyway, I really liked the film, watching Riddick survive the deadly wilderness, and then other people trying to kill him. There are a few week points that I can't elaborate on without spoilers, but they weren't bad enough to ruin the experience. The movie takes its own time and isn't one of those action films full of rapid fire cuts. All the characters are interesting if a little stereotypical to action movies, but I enjoyed it anyway. I love style over substance in films.
I want that Wacom thing! Ooo, their under $100! I'm gonna have to get one.
This went to a very high place on my list of games to get. I can't wait to play it co-op like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance of old.
Wait! What the heck is this?
Oh, I get it now. A $100 console that streams some, but not all, Vita games, the PSP and PSOne games on PSN. Neat. Here's the Wired article on it: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/09/playstation-vita-tv/
I used to want that connection to a TV with my handhelds but not anymore. I like the smaller screen for certain types of games. Plus I have a handheld to play away from my TV. That's the point of it, right?
