Home's going to be very cool in about a year, I think. It's already growing pretty fast, it's just not as feature-rich as it needs to be for anyone to consider it particularly useful. Eventually, I think most PS3 owners will put it to use, if only for game launching and forming groups.

Equal treatment = equal responsibility. :P

I generally just wait for movies to come out on Blu-ray. Watching 'em on my 61" HDTV with my 5.1 surround sound is generally a much better experience than going to the theater. The seats are definitely better, and I don't have to miss anything to take a bathroom break. :P

I really liked Biden's response to the RNC. :P

A review is just one man's opinion.

I honestly think the interview was pretty fair. O'Reilly kept up the pressure, and Obama handled it just fine. That's a big feather in his cap to my eyes.

Apparently, Comcast disagrees. :P I really hope bandwidth capping backfires on them and they lose customers in droves. They need to be made example of.

I kinda like the new dashboard, honestly. I will admit, however, that it is partly because I enjoy the joke "I've always loved the new 360 dashboard, even back when Sony called it the XMB." It always makes me chuckle for some reason.

I'm not entirely sure why they're taking the interface in a new direction when they could just as easily reorganize the blades for the same effect, but without pissing anyone off. It seems kinda asinine, especially in light of all the people that love the blades and have been using them for ages. Hopefully it nets them some of the more mainstream crowd, but I honestly don't think that'll happen just because they add cute models and change their GUI. People don't buy the Wii because they love Miis, they buy the Wii because they like the control scheme and the wide variety of games that use it. Guess they'll have that, as well, if the Newton rumors turn out to be true.

Free?? Thats it?

"If I owned both consoles, I'd purchase the game on whichever system was the lead development platform."

Make sense, can you post an example?"

FEAR, The Darkness, Dark Sector, and Orange Box are all fine examples of games that you'd be better off purchasing on the 360 over the PS3, since it was the lead platform, and they're early ports (read: they look like crap on PS3). Newer cross-platform games are often pretty close, but the edge still tends to go to whichever platform was lead in development. As for games that lead on PS3...Burnout: Paradise comes to mind. Not sure about many others, although there's quite a few coming down the pipe. The Force Unleashed and Mirror's Edge are both leading on PS3, for example...Interestingly enough, a lot of developers are now making PS3 the lead platform because it's easier to develop the game on it, then port it to the 360 than it is to go the other way around."

Let's be fair: Orange Box is a crappy port on the 360 as well."

Not nearly as crappy as the PS3 version, if the complaints are anything to go by."

Possibly, but the 360 wasn't the "lead platform" for development of Orange Box. PC was. And the end result is that it's a crappy port on both 360 and PS3."
