  1. still no price.
    Kutaragi also made it clear that the hard drive will be necessary to play games, as it is telling developers to make games assuming every PS3 had a hard drive installed....

    However, Kutaragi revealed that Sony had not decided whether or not the PlayStation 3 would come with the hard-drive pre-installed. "We might end up installing it in all PS3s, though that depends on the market," he said. This raises the possibility that the PS3 could be sold without a piece of hardware needed to play PS3 games--in effect forcing consumers to buy a peripheral for basic functionality.

     

    WTF is up with that? you have to have a HDD mandatory, but we might not include one with every ps3 bundle?!?!? at least MS made the Hdd optional.

    Yeah, this is odd. My best guess is that they're going for more of a media-center approach. The box will have some use other than games even without the hard drive (home theatre, etc). If you want to play games (or run a "server," whatever that means, etc), you'll have to get an HDD, which they might sell in a variety of flavors for different levels of user (they said it will be "upgradeable"). This is wild speculation, of course, but it sounds preferable to having vastly different versions of the console on the market, as MS has talked about.

     

    Not packaging the HDD with the system solves this problem: I know I want a PS3 and I want a 120GB HDD in it. They've decided to package a 60GB drive with the system. Now I have to buy the 120GB seperately and hope I can pawn the 60GB on eBay.

  2. I had the pleasure of seeing something much like this live a few years ago. It was a bunch of voice actors, including the voices of most of the Animaniacs (Yakko, Wakko, The Brain, and the many other characters they played between the three of them), Ren & Stimpy, and more, plus Mark Hammil and freakin' Gary Owens. I don't think any of them did less than 3 voices off the top of their heads, and the guy that did Yakko was able to recite the entire country song from memory.

     

    Mark Hammil was filming a movie with all these people (Comic Book: The Movie.. Unfortunately, it sucks bad) and needed a crowd scene. Between cuts, the voice actors entertained the volunteer crowd. It was a riot.

  3. That's great. The chuck norris things are humorous, but there's something artful about hearing him say them.

     

    And Jackie Chan has always been my favorite too. You can argue for days about who is the better fighter, and chances are that he wouldn't be the popular vote, but Chan has always been the best entertainer of the popular martial arts stars imo.

  4. Chuck Norris is a pretty goofy looking dude to begin with, but with that beastman chesthair and Lee dancing circles around him he just looks worse than ever.

     

    This is from Revenge of the Dragon, right? I dig Jacky Bryant's D+K+G action from Lee (well, lee's that jacky borrowed).

  5. The production value on that 9dragons video is ridiculously good, all things considered. The art style reminds me a lot of Dynasty Warriors, but looks a little more generic. Can't really say if it looks good or not until there's some semblance of gameplay, but the idea is interesting.

     

    The styling on bots reminds me of gunbound. I might check that out just for the hell of it.

  6. Practically speaking, as most of you have pointed out, this is kind of lame. It's cost-prohibitive, probably not that comfortable, and bested by a number of other existing, equally expensive, setups.

     

    As a stupid-nerd-trick to wow your dorky friends with, like putting neon in your pc case or building a trebuchet in your backyard, this is pretty freakin' cool.

  7. I want to say I've heard good things about Geil memory, but I don't remember 100%.

     

    I recently got one of those Seagate USB puck drives. 5gb for ~$90 on Amazon. It's slow compared to a memstick, and a little bigger, but it holds all my stuff and I just toss it in my backpack anyway. The cord is a little short, but that's not usually a problem. Plus, it fits perfectly in an altoids citrus tin:

  8. Isn't that called a tablet pc by anyone but microsoft? Looks like a specialized software suite for a slightly (slightly) smaller tablet. I hate to be cliche, but I don't know that I'd trust MS with a proprietary software suite on that kind of hardware.
