:lol: you have to be kidding me! :lol: I mean, chances are that someone needs someone to update their PS3's for them, they probably won't be using the online...which defeats the purpose of the update anyway :?. DethSkematik

Not true, don't ever underestimate the ignorance and stupidity of some people. I had a very long drawn out conversation with a gentleman a few days ago, explaining to him why his son could not play 360 games in their PC.

Sony should do something about this, Who even gave Best buy this dumb idea.

Sony should do something about this...? What on earth are you talking about? Do you have any conception how much money we make for them? We consider Sony products to be our "top tier" when it comes to our products. Everything from Car Audio,Home Theatre, Portable Electronics, Gaming, and Digitial Imaging we push Sony as the top of the line. On a corporate level Sony and BB are extremely close, which shows in some of the discounts BB employees recieve. Best Buy employees can take a Sony elearnng on learning how to better sell the Bravia tv line and get $900 back in the mail off the purchase from Sony.

I honestly think they could care less about this.

Ok, I will excuse your ignorance here. Because I admit unless you knew how our inventory and stocking works that would seem a bit silly. That however is just a random software security case, originally it could have housed any number of PC related programs in which case the sticker would have applied. After a while though the cases just get thrown together and our AP will case what ever piece of software needs to be cased. The main purpose of the case is theft deterence, not advertisement.

There you have it.

I work at Best Buy in the Product Process field, a mixture of Inventory/Loss Prevention. If anyone here thinks this is a new practice they are sadly mistaking. I can't go into real numbers because that cause for termination of employment, but I will say that if this shocks you than you don't even want to begin to fathom how much money we make putting software disc into PCs and spending 5 min installing some various program we just sold a customer. Geek Squad services are extremely popular, people shell out big bucks for our pre-configured PCs and systems that they could easily have done themselves.

We don't cheat or scam people. Our sales assosciates will explain everything to the best of their abilities. We never try to push some high end product on someone else just to make an extra buck, when people give us a price range we will show them a great and affordable Dynex TV instead of trying to push the latest and greatest Sony or Samsung LED lit display that will run them in the hole with a credit card.

The simple fact of the matter is technology scares some people and others just don't want to fool with it. It is worth it to some people out there to throw down $30, or in some cases even upwards of $200 to just "be done with it" and have everything on there when they pull it out of the box.

MP demo would have been nice. Six years later people still play the Battlefield 1942 demo on the PC, which I think is funny.

I have a theory that a large portion of the people on these forums and the internet in general who always talk about wanting a new ZOE are just some type of odd "posers" and have actually never played a ZOE game before, instead just jumping on the bandwagon because it is the cool thing to do.

Harmless, but interesting to take note of to say the least.

OP fails on so many levels.

Not going to get into this to much as I am sure everything I could say has been said in the past 17 pages but the one glaring omission I saw TC left out was mods. Mods are absolutely huge to PC gaming. The ability to mod and the current community of mods for games such as Dragon Age and Fallout 3 puts the PC version leagues ahead of its console counterpart.

Have fun playing UC2 on your PC while I play Mass Effect 2 on mine.

Oh wai!!

The 360 is the poor mans console while the PS3 is more prestigious. This is not as true as it was before since the slim came out but before hand I knew a ton of people who could not afford the PS3 and had to serttle for the 360.

Misleading title, that isn't a Machine gun. It is an assault rifle.:PCherokee_Jack

Wrong. Any gun larger than a pistol and having a magazine = "machine gun". ;)

No, you are wrong. He was right with the Assault Rifle comment.

I hate using Wiki but I don't feel like typing out myself the differences because this should be common knowledge for anyone even remotely familiar with firearms. However if you want to be a baby and cry "LOL WIKI" then I will be more then happy to type up the differences between the two myself and school you on firearms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle

Granted we would also need to know if the gun is supposed to be represented as a semi auto or full auto rifle, if it is the former then it would change the title to yet another type of firearm. ;)
