So is this for people who just had active accounts at the time, or anyone who has ever had an account? If it's free I may reinstall DCU just to see if they changed anything since launch. My guess is not.

Kudos to the OP for the post.   May none of us ever become Ebert.  Furthermore, let us be thankful that the GiantBomb officials aren't this sort of critic.

As for the rest of this discussion...

Whether or not you think video games are art, you can't deny that they have been culturally significant. Berating the Smithsonian for acknowledging that is silly.That being said, I can't help but feel like the exhibit is a joke. The way they organized it is nonsense, and not conducive to recognizing the form in a meaningful way.

  Generally I agree, but the exhibit is called "The Art of Video Games"  I guess I don't know enough about it to say if it's a joke or not. 

From their website: 
"The Art of Video Games
is one of the first exhibitions to explore the forty-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, with a focus on striking visual effects and the creative use of new technologies. The exhibition will feature some of the most influential artists and designers during five eras of game technology, from early developers such as David Crane and Warren Robinett to contemporary designers like Kellee Santiago and David Jaffe. It also will explore the many influences on game designers, and the pervasive presence video games have in the broader popular culture, with new relationships to video art, film and television, educational practices, and professional skill training."

Sounds good to me.

Just to clarify: That's 45 free days of DCU, if you've played it.  I haven't, so I don't know if it's any good or what.  I might use this opportunity to see how the old Vangaurd guild is doing, or to remind myself how shitty SWG is again.

PSN wasn't the only thing that went down.  Sony Online Entertainment's "Station" site experienced the outage as well, and now that it's back guess what?  FREE STUFF!

"Firstly, as a Station Account holder in good standing, you will receive 45 days of game time (30 days plus 1 day for each day of the outage) added to your Station Account. This game time applies to any game you have currently or previously activated on your Station Account.

For those customers on an active paying plan, this time has been added to the end of your current billing cycle. For all other customers, your time begins upon your first login to each of the relevant games. Customers must login by 11:59 pm PST August 31, 2011 to claim the game time. "


What's the catch?  Well, all these games all still suck...

Well, I sure would like to know what purpose these hacks serve.  Leaking game info, perhaps?

Just ordered my first wii, and scanned through your thread.  Should be a big help, thanks.
