When they say "Money talks," they mean it.

GHOSTS ONLINE CONNECTIVITY UPDATE: I wanted to give a quick update on some of the work that has been done to improve everyone’s online experience. We’ve already mentioned dedicated servers as part of the overall plan to improve connectivity. Dedicated servers will be used on current gen, next gen and PC with Ghosts. And, in order to make sure that people have the best possible experience regardless of platform, location or connection, Ghosts will be using a hybrid system of dedicated servers and listen servers. So no matter where you are the game will always be trying to give you the best online performance possible. There is also some great new tech in the matchmaking system that will place players in matches that have the best combined overall connectivity performance. Again these are just some of the things that are going into Call of Duty: Ghosts to give players a great online experience. Can’t wait to see you all online.”

Not a huge surprise, but now pretty much confirmation that all platforms current and next will be getting dedis. Good to hear for people who were concerned though. As I've said before, these companies love the word 'exclusive' and use it generously when they can, so when IW didn't use it in regards to the XB1 dedis they announced at the MP announce, that should have said it all.

Pac-Man CE DX double dip confirmed.

Dammit.

I can play these on my PC, but I definitely see a value add to consoles for gamers without beefy PCs.

I can't justify $8/month for the 1-2 minutes a day I would use it.

Hide your children, there's a free trial.

SugarDVD starts at $7.95 for unlimited streaming service and also offers options for DVD rentals through the mail and "Pay-Per-Minute" viewing - because hey, who watches these things for more than a few minutes at a time, am I right? There's even a free trial, for those who aren't 100 percent clear about what's on offer here.

K boss.

EA is in the business of taking large sums of money for timed exclusives, news at 11.

When I say "in the wild" obviously I mean not on a stage somewhere, but with people being able to walk up and try it out themselves and judge based on what they're experiencing. Jeez.

Plus, "Remote Play in the the tightly controlled demo space of a videogame show floor, looks great" wouldn't fit in the subject line.

I always use the Amazon Payments option for Kickstarter. Hopefully it's more reliable for the developers to deal with. I have a Paypal account for some things, but I'm always wary of them based on stories and my own experiences with them not really seeming to give a shit about customers.
