Where'd you get that definition from.. Google? (Probably)
Anyways, you're the idiot here. Solicitation is a criminal term used when describing how someone incites another to commit an offense.
In our case, Alex was soliciting (inciting) the customer to refrain from purchasing the product, something regarded as an OFFENSE by Best Buy while on their PRIVATE property.
He was not breaking any laws there, but once he REFUSED to leave after being asked b...
No matter how many of you disagree, what I am about to say is complete fact, most of it I have learned from my previous experience as a Best Buy employee for over a year.
Alex is completely in the wrong. What he did is known as 'solicitation'. Normally, one would associate that term with some traveling salesman posting flyers on someone else's property; but not only does it relate to promoting your own business, it also deals with preventing another's business.

So when some 'young gentlemen' (read: kid) watching a demo proclaims that it's racist, all of a sudden, the game is officially shortlisted as a 'racist' game?
What?!?! It's just some little kid trying to be funny!... How the hell did this story even get published??
Isn't the Guitar Hero guitar an officially licensed 'Gibson' replica?
*runs to check my GH3 guitar*
LOL yup - it says Gibson right at the top of the neck. Wtf then.. Activision had to pay Gibson for the use of their name, so why is Gibson being such greedy pricks about some conceptual game that has nothing to do with Guitar Hero?
If I was Activision, I'd countersue Gibson for bringing the retailers into this. All Gibson is trying to do is intentio...
The PSW scan is from the April edition - therefore, it's definitely an April fools hoax.
What's going to be even funnier is when Crytek gives PSW an April fools lawsuit for publishing false information as fact.. Now THAT'S an April fools joke worth writing about!
It's so funny how any anti-PS3 comment can be countered with a simple RRoD comment, i.e.:
"Wait until you run out to Best Buy, snatch up GTAIV for $60, run home, pop it in, hear a weird sound, reboot, see 3 red rings, call MS, wait 2 weeks for a refurbed 360, play GTAIV for 3 hours, get another set of 3 red rings, wait another 2 weeks for a refurbed 360, and so forth.
All the while I've beaten GTAIV and found all the secret packages on my LAUNCH PS3." ...
No more Surfer Girl. Everyone knows it's obviously Cliffy B subliminally promoting his next Epic game.
I honestly believe that we will NEVER know the true failure rate of the 360.
MS obviously spins their numbers, as I can ask 4 friends how their 360 is doing.. 3 have failed, and the other is fine.
Obviously it's not as bad as 75% (I should hope), but there's NO WAY it's 16%. Game sites don't have the statistical ability to get a real number, MS will never tell us how bad it is, and actual business news providers like CNN, MSNBC, etc. are still learning what a 'Wi...
I bet Treyarch instantly defecated in their pants when they played Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4..
"Holy hell.. We have to live up to THAT?!?!"
Judging by COD3, they probably won't. :(
So much simpler to just get the review score without having to visit the site - good idea :)
For someone who has yet to play MGS1&2 :)
I can't even call myself a true gamer until I complete those games. I rented and beat MGS3 - and now I'm so glad I only rented it, as this package is PERFECT for me!
I got lucky here - not only will I have played the 3 games in proper storyline order (3->1->2), I'll get em brand new for $30.
Okay, I'll shut up now :D
SOCOM: US Navy Seals was the first game to take console gaming online; not just PS2 gaming - CONSOLE gaming. Then, SOCOM II was even better than the first, yet neither appear on the list?
Definitely one of the most popular PS2 franchises to date with one of the most hardcore fanbases of all time (SOCOM II still has 1000+ players a day - some PS3 games can't even say that!)..
That psncontent.blogspot.com site is terrible.
Can we as a collective group vouche to never use such unofficial trash like that again? Everyone wants to be the first to post the Thursday update, but can you hold off until there is an actual post from Sony?
It's almost 9pm EST and that blog STILL hasn't been updated... C'mon guys - let's try a little harder next time :)
Does anyone see a resemblance to SOCOM II in this beta footage?
The TPS camera moves very similary - the grenade mechanics look great too.
This is gonna be one hell of a game - I can't wait till summer '08! *intentional rhyme :D*
I don't understand how class action lawsuits are legal:
1. If you don't choose to settle with the class action lawsuit, you will never be able to sue the defendant for the same reason again.
2. You don't have a say over lawyer's fees.
3. You have no guarantee of getting paid (I know someone who has been waiting over 2 years for a settlement cheque in a class action suit. The lawyers are no longer returning calls to any of the defendants)
4. The lawyers always make ...
LOL @ 5 disagrees?!?!?
What you said makes perfect sense. The first guy suggested the following:
40GB PS3 = $299
White PS3 = $399
Yet the white PS3 is 40GBs too... So therefore the paint would be the only reason for the difference in price? That's just stupid.
If you have lost all logic, send me more disagrees!! IT FEEDS ME!!
Everyone knows that people who play WoW can't lift anything over 20 lbs without help.
(LOL - j/k)
Konami makes their biggest announcement of 2008 (that's right, 2008!) not to the media or its shareholders, but Xboxfamily.com first???
If I owned stock in Konami and found out they revealed news of such impact to some Xbox site, I would not be happy at all...
This is a sad attempt from an Xbox fanboy site to get hits. Unfortunately, it worked, as this news has already reach 1300+ degrees.
I can say that SSHD is PSN's GOTY.
fl0w was fun; until you beat the game within an hour. Zero replay value makes me wonder why fl0w was even nominated..
ES is an awesome game with a ton of replay value. Simple mechanics make this game playable for any type of gamer. It oozes pure style, and the music is wonderful. Unfortunately, with its emphasis on simplicity, Everyday Shooter lacks the depth that SSHD successfully captured. The lone fact that it doesn't have an...
Hey, as long as they keep the SOCOM I and II servers up, I couldn't care less! :D
