I think Joystiq is being an equal opportunity "basher."

Seriously, they (Joystiq) were hard on the 360 when it came out, people complained and remarked that they hope the PS3 would be treated the same way. It seems like it is.

It's not like it shouldn't be expected with their (the PS3's) pricing and 2 tier SKU structure (something Sony even said they didn't think was a good idea along with a world-wide launch).

Good argument, except there's a big problem here. 1080p CAN be displayed without HDMI. 'nuff said.

So, that's why the next generation of gaming came out with the 360. Nuff said. :) Although a little late, we welcome Sony to the table. Hopefully, they'll be some food leftover for them.

Whatevah_ man... "12. Every music manager can do drag and drop, not just iTunes. And any music manager can handle all those formats...it's called "installing the codec"....sheesh. It's ability to drap-n-drop to and FROM the player natively that's so nice.

It's not about managing your music with "drag-n-drop" capabilities. It's the ability to manage your music with whatever software you choose to use. It's a little thing called "choice". It's music I paid for, I want listen to it where I please, not just limited to one computer and my ipod. Maybe you'll call me a pirate for liking my freedom...maybe you live the RIAA and MPAA slowly squeezing all your rights...but I'd rather have choice in the end. "


You do have a choice. You chose to buy an ipod which uses itunes. You shouldn't be surprised by this.
If you have problems with DRMed files, don't use th itms. Head down to Best Buy or wherever and buy your very own hard copy. You have the choice to do this if you want.

By the way, you can drop anything into the player from any computer. Just manually manage your music. Also, if you have issues with moving stuff off of your ipod you can

1. Back up all your files directly onto your ipod and copy them to any other computer you like

or

2. There are 3rd party options available to get your music files off of the ipod. For legal reasons, I'm sure you're smart enough to know what Apple did that.

Whatever_man,

drag and drop your songs into itunes.

You've never used it, right man?

Didn't Nintendo already officially announce the release of the system before year's end?

"7. My questions to no one in particular: Would Apple produce/improve iTunes if there were no iTunes Music Store? Would there be an iTunes Music Store if there were no DRM?"


I was a happy user of itunes before an itunes music store existed. For me, it's more of a music management program with a bonus store as a feature.

I've always had a liking to virtua fighter but it's always been an arcade stand up game to me.

hey, there's always the microsoft blogger bus. Have you guys checked it out? Is it nice?

"If the music companies are getting screwed by iTunes, what makes you think the movie studios "want to" also?


WOW, I never realized all those poor music companies were getting screwed by iTunes.

That must be why online music sales are going up, more profitable and they get 65 cents of that 99 cents people pay for a song. What a ripoff they're getting.

Rock and Roll Racing!!! Am I the only one who misses this game?
