    Poll: Out of the big 3 (Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony), who is the most anit-consumer?

    Maybe so, but if the article I linked has any merit at all, to make a snap decision to fix a billion dollar issue I think deserves some praise.

    Poll: Out of the big 3 (Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony), who is the most anit-consumer?

    To give some credit to Microsoft. When the realized how wide-spread the RROD was - they bit the bullet and offered a full recall. If you have a moment, here's an interesting read from a Microsoft Exec who was in the midst of it all...

    Today I Learned... Customer Transparency Is SUPER Important

    When buying my second car (second hand) I let the car salesman know he was the first dealership & car I was looking at for the day. With this info, the guy gave me his recommended basic checks to make sure nothing was off about any of the cars I was looking at on the day. Simple things...

    You Can Now Make Your Claim in the Sony PS3 OtherOS Settlement

    "Now, let me just dig up my receipt from 10 years ago..." - said no one ever! To be fair, that's my personal circumstance anyway. I wonder how many people can honestly say they are holding onto receipts for their entertainment devices that are bordering on 10+ years?

    There Will Likely Never be Another Xbox One Exclusive

    Think this would be a key point to take note of. While Microsoft might be pushing with their first party games i.e. Halo I would expect publishers to still push exclusives to the console...

    Prey 2 May Not be Dead After All

    Hell yeah. Remember absolutely loving the trailer... partly because Prey was a cool game. But ESPECIALLY because of the Johnny Cash track :)

    Batman: Return to Arkham Finally Officially Announced by Warner

    Can only HIHGHLY recommend playing Arkham Knight! Was an awesome closing chapter the series. I played it on PC since release and didn't have one issue. Had a good handful of friends pick it up in the past few months who haven't reported any issues on the PC version...

    Not sure why, but I've always been a sucker for the Orc ending cinematic of Warcraft III

    Around how many hours of enjoyment would you say would be worth it for a 70$ game?

    Big fan of $ per hour ratios of games. Comparing to any other past time i.e. movies and it totally blows them out of the water :) But OT, highly dependant on the genre of game. RPG like Skyrim or Fallout - depending how committed you are, could potentially be hundreds of hours!

    To all you who claim that special effects were better before CGI

    Funnily enough, watched a video on this very subject just recently. Pretty much builds on what others have said where practical + good CGI = greatness But I like the quote near the end of the video (to paraphrase) digital artists will toil for months/years at their craft, and if they're...

    Quantum Break's Live-Action Episodes Require an Internet Connection on PC

    Maybe it's just me, but it's definitely the other way around where I'm more concerned about juggling what is and isn't installed on the Xbox One. Would have thought anyone on a current gen console would be on a decent connection these days. Espeically considering the amount of updates that...

    Microsoft Wants Xbox to be Upgradable Like a PC

    Definitely see the merit in what he is saying, but this is something that would be waaaay down the line (is the way I read it). As others have already said, biggest benefit I see with the console gamers of the world is they don't need to worry about system specs and know anything they buy FOR...

    Hololens Dev Kits Are Coming This Month, Cost $3,000

    That's one way to look at it. I'm excited to see the different applications in everyday life that developers can come up with that no-one has even thought of yet! Obviously waaaaay down the line, but if something like HoloLens became affordable/smaller, I could see the TV market going into a...
