Win an AT&T Fuze from HTC and Engadget Mobile! {Engadget Mobile}

Dec 19th 2008 1:34AM I want to win a Fuze... It will save me $300...

Microsoft exec touts HD streaming over discs, suggests Xbox 360 will outlast PS3 {Engadget HD}

Nov 17th 2008 4:36PM Is streaming the future? I don't know, possibly, but in order for this to happen the infrastructure of the US must be improved. I live in a nice area in a major metropolitan area and the fastest DSL that is offered by my phone company is 1.5 MBit. I have friends just a mile away but under the stranglehold of a different phone company and they enjoy 10Mbit DSL. And, in a rural area, forget about it, you're still lucky if dial up works reliably.

So, with a 1.5 Mbit connection I cannot stream HD content, no way, no how. I have downloaded a movie on my PS3 and DirecTV VOD and it takes too long. If I can hop in my car, drive to Blockbuster, pick out a movie, come home and watch the movie, then return the movie to Blockbuster all before the movie I picked finishes downloading to my hard drive, then online delivery fails.

100 comments at least: Console attach rates {Joystiq}

Nov 7th 2008 7:19PM Wow! I'm shocked it is so low across the board (at least to me)

I know I am doing my part to keep the numbers up for PS3 and Wii. But, I guess there are plenty of people like my friend who only own one game (CoD4)

LittleBigPlanet servers are live {Joystiq Playstation}

Oct 27th 2008 11:50PM When I was able to connect to the server I played your level, that sure was fun. I think I was able to nab about 8 different trophies, and the #2 score (for a while at least)

DirecTV DVR software update hits the stage again, now with slightly less fail {Engadget HD}

Oct 22nd 2008 1:24AM My HR20 was locked up again tonight, no mention of an upgrade after hitting the reset button. My old HR10-250 may be slow, but I don't think it has ever locked up and missed recordings in 5+ years.

Recalled LittleBigPlanet copies selling for up to $250 {Joystiq Playstation}

Oct 20th 2008 9:59AM I had a copy in my hand Sunday morning (12:05 AM while picking up Rock Band 2) but the silly register at Wally World wouldn't let the cashier sell it to me. Since they had such a large stack of the games I am going to stop by again tonight at midnight and try to nab me one.

Bungie: Game companies should pocket money from used sales {Joystiq}

Sep 27th 2008 1:30AM The music industry tried this in the 90's when used CD stores popped up all over the country. Once the stores, customers, consumer groups and state attorney generals started laughing the music industry quickly backed away from this.
