Steve Jobs was a genius. Whether or not you like Apple, they made billions for a reason. It wasn't a fluke.

This is absolutely true. I don't personally use many Apple things but he has certainly changed how I interact with the internet and with media. He did a fantastic job and I wish we could have seen what he could do in the future. I did not like all he did, or much of how he did it but I will miss his impact and definitely feel others should too.

We would be in a worse place (technologically speaking) without him and his influence on Apple.

RIP Steve.

After 2 and Brotherhood I found the first game very very hard to get into. Incredibly tedious (as opposed to the optionally tedious of the other games) I thought the first one was skippable, really.

edit: still a pretty sweet bonus though. Gift horse and all that.

@EpicReflex: The point is about those (like me) without guaranteed internet access. Well, that and Ubisoft lying about the nature of theDRM. Most days I can easily guarantee availability to the internet for patching and stuff but not all days.  
 
For more general 'always be on the internet' DRM, that's  slightly different question. I either just won't buy it if there's not a good reason for them to do it (in terms of game mechanics) or I will if they do (preventing the huuuge amount of duping and all round cheating Diablo 2 suffered in Diablo3). DRM has its place but it has to be justified and not lied bout. Ubisoft did not justify it for From Dust and they also lied. Besides all this, From Dust is also, sadly, a shoddy port on PC :(

As long as they don't fuck up the PC version as badly as Borderlands then I'm in.

Am I the only one that can hear the female voice sample from Smack My Bitch up in the music here? I might just be crazy because of watching too much E3 though.

They're calling it 'Lords of Winter' when winter is completely irrelevant in space? Seems an odd subtitle or are we going to see some sort of weird seasonal economy change thing on our planets.

Alex, it's probably been pointed out already but far from it being able to "emulate at least some version of the graphics you'll see on your TV screen.", it is actually just a stream from the box itself. It was strongly pointed out in the conference that the controller it self does little, if any, number crunching.

That's actually kinda a shame. I couldn't care less about the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' bit of the game but overall, from what little I saw, it looked promising. I was looking forward to seeing more about it.
