While some of the photos here clearly show a real device, you can see that modesty has inclined lil' Oppo to only be shown from the rear, save for in chaste rendering form. So hopefully the d-pad and traditional SNES/PlayStation four-button config makes it to the final stages of production. News today is pricing: 1099 yuan, or $160. That only appears to buy you a paltry 4GB, but thro...]]> Recent News: Blogs: Max's Blog Fri, 2 Jan 2009 16:18:52 -0600 http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13431/I-Heart-Oppo/ http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13067/Mass-Effect-Going-All-Sony/ "Despite the first Mass Effect being billed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, famed developer BioWare tells Joystiq that it has "never confirmed any plans of Mass Effect exclusivity for the trilogy." Though the sci-fi action-RPG later appeared on PC, the title is still considered an Xbox 360 exclusive in terms of the console market--meaning it has not appeared on rival systems PlayStation 3 or Wii.

It goes without saying that devs need to eat and if a game doesn't sell you can kiss goodbye to support, sequels and similar games. If you are playing a game you haven't bought, you are invisible as far as the developer is concerned. Only by buying the games you like can you possibly encourage similar, good quality games to be made. And confront other people who are pirating games too. You are subsidising them getting free games, so make sure they know how you feel about such freeloading.

We suppose the burden of responsibility falls on us to clarify: It's the giant robots fighting each other . In case you guys weren't sure—if, perhaps, it was neck and neck between robot-fighting and data analysis—we pray ours can be the deciding vote. When you have five loose-cannon robots, all of whom are just itching to fight other robots with or without a reasonable excuse, for Christ's sake, don't ruin every single one of them by sticking them together t...]]> Recent News: Blogs: Max's Blog Wed, 4 Jul 2007 22:28:26 -0500 http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11695/Transformers-Before-they-were-Productively-Placed/ http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11694/Happy-Independence-Day/ Recent News: Blogs: Max's Blog Wed, 4 Jul 2007 16:28:29 -0500 http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11694/Happy-Independence-Day/ http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11690/This-Is-Almost-As-Cool-As-Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-2001/ "This Friday, July 6th The Tatamimats will be doing an encore performance of "Dark Side of the Uke", their ukulele-only version of Pink Floyd's classic album "Dark Side of the Moon".
