    I'm just gonna say, it was a movie that dramatized real-life events. I'm sure creative liberties were taken. Otherwise, no one would go to the theater to watch suspense and drama. Congrats to Argo.

    Sony has said there is an offline mode and that PS4 games will come on disc. PS2/PS3 games, which will be incompatible with the PS4 (due to the change in hardware architecture), will be streamed. Native support for older console titles will not exist on the PS4. Down the road for PS4 games? They may join their PS2/PS3 brethren and enter the cloud. Playstation Eye will be available...though, it will be a newer version. And the Move controllers will also be compatible. Will there be any motion-controlled gaming at release time? I don't recall Sony announcing anything.

    Huh?

    How do you know GP01Fb isn't in the works?

    The RGs have had some really good detailing so far. I'm not terribly shocked about RG RX-78-GP01 since the 0083 series has been one of the more popular ones. I'm looking at this guy though: MG Aile Strike Gundam (HD ver)

    Yeah, I'm gonna second this "Whaaaaaa?!?".

    As I understand it, the PS4 uses an AMD APU chip (and a Jaguar-based x86 CPU/GPU nonetheless). Can't get much more closer to a PC than that. But yes, if Sony still wants to price games as they do now, I don't expect there to be much adoption, regardless of games.

    Definite what you mean by "end of Macross II". You mean the ending theme? "Yakusoku" Or the big battle at the end of the series? "Mou Ichido Love You"

    And I wonder for how long.

    Wanna know what the PS4 will look like? Here's an artist render: Sony Will Lose the Console War With PS4′s Lame Video-Streaming Strategy

    There goes any chance of offline-mode then. Not that we're not at that point already.

    Maybe it's just me, but social media and streaming/cloud-supported games seems...consuming. The game itself can be large (game files or graphics). Then comes the DLCs. I'm looking at my installation of Battlefield 3 and it's near 28 GB up to the current DLC. If I was just starting (like if I got the game as a Christmas present), that's a lot of stuff to download. It sounds like the A-list games will still come on physical media but if PS3 or PS2 games are streaming only, that's a lot of streaming. It sounds like they'll eventually go all cloud-based at some point. I know streaming and that path is the direction of a lot of things, but gamers that play a game straight then play again, or even streaming their games or streaming their multiplayer games... It seems like were gonna need more bandwidth.

    It's a compilation (i.e., Special Edition). I'm not expecting anything great to come considering it is a recompiled release.

    What legal issues? And no, we are not making this a legal debate thread. If you don't know, go read the pinned thread.

    The idea of no PC-release REALLY doesn't appeal to me.

    Have you seen this guy's resume? There isn't much to announce.

    Just to take a break from PS4 talk.... Anybody try Crysis 3 yet? Saw a few of the walkthrough vids on Youtube and it unfortunately feels a lot like... Crysis 2.

    Normally? 10 years seems to be the rolling industry standard (Judging by movies like Fox's Daredevil (2003), Sony's Spiderman-franchise (2002-2007) and Amazing Spiderman (2012), Fox's X-Men-series (2000-2009, 2010-?). Most seem to have it for about 10 years, then the rights revert back to the originating party, if nothing is done. As in, you have 10 years to do something or else it reverts back to the originating owners. You can extend it after 10 years by making new products (i.e., make more movies). But that appears to be on the major-studios level. IIRC, Maguire Entertainment (Tobey Maguire's company) were the ones to acquired the license with WB on-board as the distribution studio. My feeling is if Maguire Ent. can't do something by 2017, WB will probably drop out, unless they want an extension. After which, Maguire Ent. can go to Disney, Sony, Fox, Paramount, etc. But again, that's just what I see and hear.

    Unless they actually greenlight this flick, I'll go back into sleep mode. We still don't know how well Pacific Rim will do (Similar genre). Also going into play is WB's new CEO, Kevin Tsujihara. Jeff Robinov (WB's film/box-office chief) and Bruce Rosenblum (WB's TV chief) may decide to leave WB, which would probably further delay things. And considering the Highlander-remake just lost its director, names can be thrown but that doesn't mean they'll stick.

    Expect Hamill, Fisher And Ford In Star Wars Episode VII – But As Parents? The Kids Are The Stars? Again, who knows what they have in store.

    +1 The concept was good. The execution was terrible. Flit's arc had a coherent story. Everything else was just standard. Nothing really jumped out. I tried to watch it but ended up skipping lots of parts in the middle. Asemu's had slightly better character-interaction but the story started going to the crapper. And I actually watched most of this arc. Kio's arc was awful on all fronts. If I missed an episode, and I did for at least 2/3's of it, I never even bothered trying to catch up.

    The drive itself is not proprietary (or at least it shouldn't be). The front plate may be proprietary since it needs to match the laptop's enclosure.

    You can try to clean the lens with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol (gently in a circular motion). You can try to copy a large amount of data from a disc or burn a disc or both. If it has problems doing those operations, and subsequently thereafter, then you have a bad drive. See if there is a firmware update for your drive (not driver, firmware). The manufacturer may have released a firmware update to address reading issues of discs. One other probability is that this particular pressing of Skyfall was a bad batch. The solution would be to buy a copy from some where nowhere near you. Or buy from Amazon. Or wait a couple months for a fresh stock to come in.
