- ps3 vs xbox360, yeah it was silly. but playstation all vs everyone else, i sorta agree -- nm - Truman Feb 20, 15:44 1
  - I don't find it silly at all. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 20, 15:52
- Compared to the 360? Sure. -- nm - Shaun Feb 20, 15:40 4
  - I just don't think any one system has an unmatched catalog. - Krusty Feb 20, 15:47 3
    - There are few exclusive titles. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 20, 15:56 2

        Pretty soon you'll be doing the same for Last of Us. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 20, 16:03
I like that idea that you can demo any game. -- nm - Krusty Feb 20, 15:37 4
- and its a full game, not a demo. also the feature that lets you almost instantly start playing a download purchase - Truman Feb 20, 15:39 3
  - So far there's a lot to like about what they're going to offer. - Krusty Feb 20, 15:40 2
    - i also like the idea that they went to the developers and got input from them, if that makes the ps3 easier to work on - Truman Feb 20, 15:42 1
      - i do wish that sony would say these apps also work on - Truman Feb 20, 15:59

  - Indeed. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 20, 15:36

  - also, this is a lot similar to the updated wii thing from last year - Truman Feb 20, 15:34

  - YES!!! CSI:NY, season 2. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 20, 15:29

"Google Glass is going to be like a Segway for your face." -- Jason Kottke -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 20, 15:02 2
- what, really expensive, kind of pointless, and almost exclusively used by the lazy? -- nm - mafic Feb 20, 15:04 1
  - i *still* haven't ridden a Segway. Must do a tour somewhere this summer on one. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 15:14

Is there a web page for the PS4 event? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 20, 14:58 9

hey! I have a question I think I already know the answer to. do I tell my boss I'm going to New Zealand for a job interview next week? - mafic Feb 20, 14:57 9
- I guess it depends on the relationship with your boss. - spamlet Feb 20, 15:09 6
  - I thought mafic would have ruled it out if that was the case; but, yah, don't do it if it's extra risky and there are possible consequences. - b. Feb 20, 15:11 3
    - he'll either think it's amazing, or flip the f*ck out, and it's difficult to say which. -- nm - mafic Feb 20, 15:14 2
      - I wouldn't say anything then. I had the same issue and chose to stay quiet. -- nm - spamlet Feb 20, 15:30 1
        
        yah, unless you feel the risk is worth it, shh. -- nm - b. Feb 20, 15:32
  - possibly. it's really hard to say. he's... unpredictable. -- nm - mafic Feb 20, 15:11 1
