I just got the Xbox 360 for my boyfriend's birthday. I bought Bioshock for him and Beautiful Katmari for myself.

I am currently pissed off at Beautiful Katamari.

[Teaflax]

Wassamatta with the Katamari?

Coltan is in, like, every electronic device ever. Weird they would single-out the PS2.

Good on you mane, I keep giving up on MP because of the horrid lag but then find myself playing again for hours in the middle of the night, delays be damned.

Nintendo is taking its ball and going home.

[nathansmart]

woah, so how do people without classic controllers play SNES and N64 games for the Virtual Console?

Thank God I went crazy a couple of Christmases ago and got my family to get me four of the Classic Controllers just to be safe and get it out of the way.

[nathansmart]

actually, now that I look again, I don't really see where they got their info from. No one else is reporting that they didn't pay the $21 million bond...

Nintendo is facing a ban of the classic/GC controller. They're not willingly taking their products off the shelves. Basically, they lost a patent lawsuit and then said that $21 million was too excessive a compensation fee.

How will Nintendo get out of this one? They'll have to either post a bond or put royalties in an escrow account to avoid a sale halt, according to Anascape's lawyer Doug Cawley. Nintendo of course plans to appeal the verdict, claiming it didn't use Anascape's technology.

Yeah, I know of the original story, but nothing in that article says that they won't be selling the Wii Classic Controller anymore.

Here's the skinny on what it actually affects:

* The GameCube or WaveBird controllers, which Nintendo no longer makes.
* The Wii Classic Controller (Nintendo's Charlie Scibetta says the company will still be able to sell it pending Nintendo's appeal).

I was just clarifying what ArtsyMcShitshimself posted.

[nathansmart]

well, stop it.
