Bow Poo, that's when you put a bow on poo to pretty it up. Not to be confused with Poo Bow, where you put poo on a perfectly fine bow.
So can I "pirate" games from my friend?
sure ye can, as long as yer matey be havin' a parrot on his shoulder. Otherwise, that be illegal. ARRGGGHHH!!!
Looks like the XMB on the PS3 is finally getting to them...
Lets not forget the Wii's influence.
Just got a 360 (a month ago). Didnt like the "old" dashboard, so looking forward to this one.
Have a PS3 and must say, that the XMB is more sleek IMO. But in the end it dosent matter much for me, as long as I have great games. Both consoles are great at that.
Sorry El Taco no pirating you need the original Disk in the drive to launch the backup from the Hard Drive. Besides please support the company, by the original.
Did I see right in the Lips demo video that you can plug up your Zune and use it as a Karaoke? If so then DAMN that will rock.
They better nail Zune support with this update. I mean the two need to work like they come in a box together.
This whole thing about Sony and Nintendo having a multi-person chat too, perhaps even switching chat rooms. To be perfectly honest, I think this is ridiculous. You can't be as popular as to have several parties going on at the same time, and having to switch between them to catch mere snippets of conversations and not even get the full story. It's like when Americans (no offence, but in the UK we don't actually have this) switch phone chat in movies, it's like, "hold on, I've got someone on the other line - hi, yeah, yeah, right i'm in the middle of a call, one moment - sorry about that, it was work; what were you saying? Uh huh, yeah, oh I see, one moment, I've got another call coming through ..."
The whole thing would just get ridiculous, at least with 8 people in a party all having a conversation, and not even the 8 person space being filled, everyone can get a word in edgeways and understand what's going on and who's opinions are who's, and perhaps make some arrangements.
And yes, how DOES Microsoft start copying Apple with the whole Xbox thing - are they starting to think that they should maybe bring out a gaming console too? 'Cause if so - you have that the wrong way round, that would be Apple copying Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo or whatever other console manufacturers there are out there. And I'm telling you now, if Apple does bring out a console they will be receiving no support from me whatsoever, Apple will just lose its originality and innovation and will be seen as jumping on the bandwagon.
One last thing - how the hell can you prefer a PS3? Sure, the online is free and it has a "built-in web interface", but they're trying to make you think you're getting a bargain because you paid so much god damn money for the console in the first place. I pay a fiver a month for my Xbox Live and it doesn't bother me one bit. My Xbox was relatively cheap for all the use I get out of it, and it's a mere five pound extra per month to play online.
Xbox 360 is clearly the way forward. I don't think I'll bother installing my games onto the HDD anyway, that would just make the common disk obsolete.
