JW of Xbox 360 Rally just couldn't hold in his rant on people paying $150+ for an advanced copy of Bioshock here is what he had to say:
"I swear to Christ, some of you people are just downright idiots. Not you guys in particular ? Lord knows Xbox 360 Rally readers are uber-cool.

The Observer takes another look at the Murdoch takeover today, and argues that the Bancrofts were kinda misled by their advisers about the takeover deal. Why? Well, it has to do with James Ottaway Jr.'s rather unfortunate choice of words ("30 shekels of silver to their investment bankers, and 30 shekels of gold to their corporate lawyers") about how much money the Bancrofts had to shell out to their outside advisers to get the deal done. $30 million! And all of it was paid by... News Corp.? The most obvious problem being: say that Rupert was reportedly working on this deal for two years. The Bancrofts were working on it for, what, two months? Yeah.

Darrin Stubbington plans to whip small dev into shape.

Filed under: Gaming

Oh boy, another patent lawsuit filed in that litigious folly called the
Texas court system. This time, the suit pits Parallel Processing Corporation of Newport Beach, California against that
legal whipping boy, Sony. PPC alleges that Sony's
Cell processor -- the horsepower inside the
PS3 -- violates a patent for "synchronized parallel processing with shared memory." Filed on July 26th, the five-page complaint by PPC states that Sony's actions are causing "irreparable harm and monetary damage" to the company and are therefore seeking the usual: compensation for damages (with interest) as well as the impounding and destruction of all Sony products infringing on the patent. Good times.

"EA press conference was night and day compared with the even Microsoft held today. Unburdened by complex hardware rollouts and silly movie game demonstrations, EA stuck to the games and it paid off big time. The media members present (capacity crowd) figured out how to put two hands together and devoured almost everything that EA put in front of them. I've got to admit, it was pretty freakin cool. Here's how it all went down."
