So why is he still fingering notes during the pause at around 52 seconds?

Sorry if this is a noob question, just don't understand the reasoning.
I would be very cautious with this. Most companies use surveys like this to determine what channels they can charge you EXTRA for by shifting the more popular ones into a more expensive package.

Just cause you're presently shaking hands with the right hand doesn't mean the left hand isn't coming around to sock you in the jaw...
I'm sorry...how does a regional sports network qualify as part of a "national line-up"....this is lame...
Anyone claiming EGM was on the "hype wagon" of AC clearly hasn't been reading the mag. Although they did cover it, they repeatedly brought up their concerns about AC's controls ever since E3. I thought the review by EGM was favorable compared to the preview comments EGM had given the game in the past 6 months.
Please note that my comments were dripping with sarcasm....I'm very glad to see this site up. It's just that this rumor is starting to become one of those urban legends like the one one-ared man killing the teenagers.

To see endless fanboy discusssion of this topic, please vist this post (one of many) on the SWG message boards from last November: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=swggpdiscussion&message.id=18068&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

You'll be wanting to shoot yourself by the time you finish reading it all.

BTW--wouldn't it be suicide for a MMORPG to be a launch title? You have to wait until there's a sold user base before you can launch an MMORPG.
ou really should remove this article if you want anyone to think you have any credibility at all.

This is an errant listing that's been out for months and months on Amazon. It has been discussed ad nausem on the Star Wars Galaxies boards forever...not only is it meaningless...but you are REALLY late to the party to begin discussing it.

None of this should be taken as if I don't think SWG might make an appearance on the PS3 at some point...in fact I think it will...but it's not going to be this year...and might not even be next year. But it takes more than a 3 year old posting on Amazon to "prove" it.

I see another entry like this...and I'm never visting this site again...excep to point and laugh at its lameness.

PLEASE tell me the region free encoding is also backwards compatible and doesn't only apply to PS3 titles....
To Mojimbo Post #32...

I normally don't comment more than once on a single post because this really isn't a forum for flame wars...but I have to point out 3 fallacies with your post:

1. My complaint with Nintendo is about the number of QUALITY games that people actually BUY not the number of schlock titles Nintendo (and every other system) release.

2. The list you linked to is nothing but a list of titles in development. The majority have not been released and are multi-platform titles or are schlock. Heck, many of them may not even come out until AFTER the Revolution is released or may not even get released at all. The list you should have linked to on IGN is here: http://cube.ign.com/index/reviews.html If you will notice, Nintendo has only released 9...yes 9 titles in ALL of 2006 so far...and that's being generous and counting Curious George as a game. Considering only one of those games even got as high as an 8.0 rating on IGN's very generous rating scale, I'd say that shows there's a real lack of QUALITY games for the Gamecube. Especially when you consider Microsoft released 21 XBOX games and 12 X360 games so far this year and Sony released 14 games for the PS2 just this MONTH alone.

3. I agree with your favorite game selection...it's just too bad that the games you listed are 4 to 14 months old. Played anything new recently? Probably not since as I discussed above there's nothing new worth playing. Hence, it should be called the MZM.

4. Loosers is plural...I'm a single person. Get your plurality straight.

Peace out.
They should call it the MZM for Mario Zelda Metroid...since that's the only games people ever buy on Nintendo machines anymore.

The machine can be as "revolutionary" as it wants...if Nintendo provides the same weak numberv of quality games as they've done with the Gamecube, who cares?
3 quick points:

1. Why does anyone care how many games are available for a console? Are you going to buy all of them at once? It should be about how many QUALITY games are available. All you really need for a console launch is 1 or 2 QUALITY titles. Give me Madden and GTA in November at launch and I'll be set for 6 months.

2. In that same regard...how long until Gates announces HALO 3 is being released in November...

3. Personally...I think later is better...we as consumers should dictate when a console life cycle is supposed to end and not game companies. Soon they're going to be selling us "next next gen" consoles every 3 years. I can just see a damn video game clerk asking me if I want to pre-order by XBOX720 when I pick up my PS3. I feel like Nintendo is the only company that really needs to get a new console out right now.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
