Public Relations and Public Perception of Public Relations (PR and PP of PR:D)... That is all.
Do you have trouble with basic reading comprehension? Did I say the dog was pushed? I said let's push you from a car. Whether you're pushed or jump yourself, it doesn't change the fact that you're exiting a car that's going at high speed. The chances of getting hurt are the same and I don't for a second believe that dog was not hurt by jumping out of that car. He might have survived the accident, but he was not unhurt.Quote:

Shows you how much they care for their public relations, really. Their public relations is down the shitter and they don't even care.Quote:

For anyone interested, here's an inside look at the Xbone:

Wonder how much noise that fan will generate.
I fear they are probably right. Despite what all our opinions may be about the thing, my bet is that the console is still going to do very well.Quote:

Too true, I had a somewhat lengthy discussion about a friend about the 2 consoles PS4 and Xbox One about where each of us leaning. I cited all the anti-consumer policies (the way I perceive them) as the main reason for avoiding the One. And he referenced the quality he's experienced with the 360 as being the main reason he's leaning towards it, even if my argument is that the 360 and the One are 2 completely different things, he even mentioned that I'm just critiquing without having used the console.Quote:

This should tell you something. Perhaps some of the voters have changed their minds since they voted, but it's still a good indication of which way people leanQuote:

bigger fans create less noise, thus a 80mm pc fan makes more noise then a 120mm or 140mm fan. and it probably has a controller like most pc's do that slows down the fan speed when you're not gamingQuote:

Its all a APU system. AMD A10 with a Micro ATX nobo and blu ray player add in a custom OS, and it would be the same.Quote:

I remember a time quite a few years ago, when AAA games were so cheap that u would go to the flea market and it was cheaper to buy the original then the copy. Make it cheap enough to buy games and there wont be a need to swap/pirate games
Oh and pls dont get upset that i called a console a poor mans PC, its just an example
I wouldn't say that about the next gen consoles. From all the info available, I'd say the PS4 pretty much equals the performance of an R8k PC.Quote:

My PC is 3 years old and I'm not sure that I will need to upgrade within the next 3 years either. The market has slowed down a great deal. But even if I were to upgrade, I could buy components at a fraction of the price. Can't do that on a console.Quote:
