[QUOTE="forrester_fire"]Guess this is why we need Apple in the market. ------------------------- Why, so we pay $900 for a console? I'm glad my PS3 doesn't perform like my Apple hardware. I had to send my iPod in 3 times in the first year I owned it to have the battery replaced. Apple is waaay overpriced and overrated.2Chalupas

Not sure if I believe "3 times in 1st year". But I had 2 ipods (one a Ipod Nano, one a 1st generation IPOD touch). Both crapped out on me after 12-18 months. I always took care of them as well. Considering how overpriced they are I'm done with Apple products - if I care to get a standalone MP3 again it will be a Sony - or perhaps even a generic like a Sandisk. It's actually a shame Microsoft decided to leave this market, they never got a strong foothold but at least they had potential to be a competitor.

No BS. The straw that broke the camels back was when it quit taking a charge as I was getting ready to leave on a ski trip. I had to run to best buy, at the last minute, and buy the Samsung I've had ever since (4 or 5 years now). It was one of the 20GB, early generation, with the hard drive. This was before the touch or the nano were on the market.

[QUOTE="madmidnight"]Having played all but the original. CIV5>CIV3>CIV2>CIV4 IMO

Civ IV, to me, was like the Vice City of Grand Theft Auto. Once I played Civ IV, I couldn't go back to playing Civ III.

I still haven't played Civ V, but I've probably put more hours into Civ IV than any game I've ever played. I'd need to get a new PC (have a freebie from work for after-hours support) and I just can't justify dropping $500+ just so I can play one game.

I can see an overpriced Console.

This x1000. I refuse to partonize Apple for this reason. Their hardware, in my experience, is overrprice and unreliable.

[QUOTE="BlbecekBobecek"]

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] Mark Rein an Epic employee with no connection to nintendo or valve some how confirms something that Gabe Newell doesn't confirm? loldelta3074

WilliamRLBaker, known system wars lemming and hater, denying something one of the heads of the industry posted on his twitter? lol

when you can't think about anything constructive or intelligent to say ,resort to insulting people

I would call that an "appraisal" rather than an "insult". It's possible for a statement to be both accurate and insulting.

Lol, Baker... I wonder how he defended the ads on xbox live deal..Arbiterisl33t69
He reminds me of the MMA fans that like Chael Sonnen. No matter how much sneaky, underhanded stuff the guy says or does, they'll find a reason to excuse it.

[QUOTE="forrester_fire"][QUOTE="AnxietyAttack"]WilliamRLBaker is not a hater because he dosn't go into threads and bash the PS3, he has a definate console preference (like myself) but he's not a hater. I'm pretty sure he owns a PS3 as well.

AnxietyAttack

He may not be a hater in the truest sense of the term, but he's an unabashed apologist and he's horribly biased. Haters and Apologists are two sides of the same coin.

Wtf? These forums are full of shameless people who argue in defence of their prefered platforms and all are biased to some degree so what's your point again?

My point was that some posters are even-handed in their criticisms (guys like Chutebox, riverwolf, and a few others), and some are Grade-A DBs. In fewer words, I simply don't like Baker.
