Never attribute to malice (being a dick) to stupidity

They stupidly thought they could get tax breaks by including Linux support and calling it a computer, but that didn’t go through so they (in another stupid move) just dropped Linux support and pissed off some people.

Exclusive content… that’s not unheard of in consoles, and that was one thing consoles competed on with each other. I mean, if you want Mario/Zelda/etc… where else to go but Nintendo? Sony might have been stupid to not adapt as multi-platform releases become more common, nor did Sony develop their exclusive content/franchises as well as Nintendo does

  Actually, you’re most likely the “dumb shit” as Japan and the US both use the NTSC format. PAL is for Europe and the chances of the previous Anon being in the US is greater. However, in the PS2 Era they had region locking that a backwards compatible PS3 still respects despite the PS3 software being mostly region free. The discs are not encoded differently it’s just their region key doesn’t match the one the PS2 emulation software is asking for. Do some research before you call someone an idiot …

  Actually, no, they didn’t get away with it. The few cases in question that were pushed they settled.

  Not going to work, Cu. As soon as people ‘downvote’ your website in Google, people will be able to find the actual ‘real’ LV0 codes easily.

  No, my argument is not invalid, to be blunt. I was talking about OTHER people besides him, you obsequious nitwit.

  If you like good stories you should play FF Tactics. Also play FF8, it is not like anything better will come from Square enix will make anything better anytime soon anyway…

  The poll isn’t about the typical person on this board, though–it’s about anime that Japanese women hate. And seeing as pretty much every male character has been completely written out of Nanoha by this point in favor of more girls holding hands and taking baths together, I can see why they’d lose interest in it.

  I’ve played the BETA of this and will be again during it’s next phase, and I found everything to be normal and very easy to look at. You can customize a lot of what you see as well, so this is a ridiculous post. Stop bashing on Square enix, I don’t really like them that much and pine after Squaresoft, but this is probably the last good thing to come out of Sqenix.

  They are not complaining because they think it’s bad, they are complaining because they think there’s a lot of information being displayed at the same time on the screen and they are afraid that the PS3 won’t be able to handle it.
