Not that im a fan of him or anything, but I have a feeling that alot of guys are jealous of him ( perhaps on a subconscious level) because all the bieber bashing goin on in here is just excessive. He just does what his bosses tell him to do, and girls of all ages just happen to eat it up. I know if I could do what he does, I would... money, girls, travel... (but at the same time, its alotttt of work...)
I still get comments to this day from friends/family walking by, along the lines of " Who are you talking to? You are playing with other people? Real people online? Instantly? Amazing!"
This goes to show that we gamers take certain things for granted. I've been gaming online since 1998 ( with star-craft, neo-pets, and a couple years later, counter-strike). The fact that , in 2010 , regular/less tech inclined people are still shocked that we can have 4v4, 8v8,...
So I showed this to my friend last night (24 year old girl who doesn't game at all) and first thing she said was "that would be great for a dancing game!". I then proceeded to show her the Justin Bieber video of him dancing on Dance Central ( or w.e. its called). She said "Damn! Im sure getting one of those for my brother when it comes out! I would play a game like that!"
This is why it will sell.
If im not mistaken, when they said that the xbox was profitable, they meant that all costs incurred due to R&D, Manufacturing and RROD/E74 have been recuperated and sales are now generating profit.
Im no expert accountant (hell i only took my first accounting class last year...) but any RROD that happen in the present year should be counted as current operating expenses. So they put aside the one time liability to cover most costs for the first three years and any subseq...
Ok so im in canada, anddddd its not for sale up here... but if I can put pokemon on it, im so going to get my friends to send me one!!!
First of all, its not only young girls that love him... my 21 year old housemates think he is the "cutest". Plus, i've heard some comments from older women that make me cringe.
Steps for making millions:
step 1. Get Peter M. to develop a demo of a boy named milo.
step 2. Apply a Justin Bieber skin to the game.
step 3. ???????????
Step 4. Profit.
And it actually says 39.99 ( minus 5 dollar pre-order bonus).
Im pretty sure they can't up the price after the fact. So for now, this is the offical price. unless im mistaken?
Sort of a repost at least as it litteraly combines two seperate posts...

(I can't find the one that talks about the british/euro cut but i know i've seen it on here before)
Im pretty sure you can't find a new sofa for 90$. Now if you are willing to troll Craigslist.... thats another story altogether.
I feel like xbox live would be the reason why they keep the xbox around.
There was another article on here talking about the revenue from the sales passing the revenue from the subscriptions. Thats pretty big news!
I think people have it wrong with that article.
"What you've seen is with this new sleek design and Kinect for Xbox 360 we've got at least another five years of this generation where we continue to offer great experiences for people."
I think this means they will support the 360 until 2015 , but I can't see them not releasing a new console before then. Especially if kinect isnt a hit... however even if it is, I still think we will hear an announc...
Where is my... realtime weapon change.
I agree with what you say to a certain extent. There was about a 200 dollar difference between "comparable" skus between the ps3 and 360. If the ps3 can continue to be pushed in a way that allows for a comparable experience with the next xbox then what you say is true. However, if the next xbox completely blows the ps3 out of the water in terms of features and graphics and whatnot, then I feel that releasing a less future-proof console was the better strategy. If Microsoft were to r...
really? he is a communist?... because he wants to charge people more money because he wants to make a greater profit? Well I guess my understanding of communism has been WAYYYYYYYYY off for quite some time...
someone to hold your hair back so it doesn't get in your eyes?
There are xbox controllers with cables?... seriously?
If these are granted, does that mean if im caught making those gestures MSFT can sue me?
statistics is amazing. 2000 gamers is quite a decent sample size.
I saw a mountain Lion very early on in the game, the first time you ride up to fort mercer...
Only because it was on sale at best buy for 39.99 , and i had that 20$ off Blur coupn. Im fine with paying 20$ for a new game, that may or may not be great. I could trade it in at EB games for 28$ too :)
