Qore Episode 7 is free {Joystiq Playstation}
Dec 3rd 2008 2:34PM Ugh. I'm one of the (probably few) who purchased a Qore subscription thinking I'd actually get some "cool stuff" for my $20.
$20 = nothing special + ads on everything.
Sony.... are you TRYING to let Microsoft dismantle you this generation? I want to believe, but everything you do shakes my confidence a little more.
Only Killzone 2 can save you now... :)
Poll: How are you enjoying HD Netflix streaming on the Xbox 360? {Engadget HD}
Nov 22nd 2008 7:39PM Not going to happen. There is no Netflix in Canada and it's not likely that there will be. There is Zip.ca which provides a similar DVD-by-mail service, but it doesn't do streaming and isn't big enough to get into bed with Microsoft anyways.
The only hope is that Netflix enters the Canadian market, and given the economy, I can't see that happening in the next year.
What Microsoft CAN do is update the video store to add TV shows. If Apple can get licenses to sell television in Canada via iTunes and Apple TV, than so can Microsoft.
Behold! It's the Guitar Praise trailer {Joystiq}
Nov 17th 2008 1:28PM I wonder of "Raisin' McCain" will be DLC of Guitar Praise?

Nov 17th 2008 1:23PM While I grant that all modern Metallica is just horrible... "ever" is just a stupid thing to say. Remove Metallica and you lose a ton of modern bands on the basis of their influence.
...and justice for all is still one of the greatest metal albums ever recorded.
Behold! It's the Guitar Praise trailer {Joystiq}
Nov 17th 2008 1:19PM Probably has a lot to do with the fact that POD, Flyleaf, Kutless and Switchfoot are all generally pretty awful bands.
The "christian" charts exist to provide exposure to bands that would never make it on the mainstream counterparts by virtue of not being good enough. This is why this music is in "guitar praise" and not "guitar hero".
Really.. I doubt I'm the only one who groans in annoyance when "I'm So Sick" wriggles it's way into a mystery set on Rock Band.

Panasonic's DMP-BD35 / DMP-BD55 now available in Canada {Engadget HD}
Nov 11th 2008 11:41AM I saw the BD35 in a FutureShop in Toronto as early as a couple of weeks ago, with the BD30 receiving the complimentary markdown.
Vodafone's BlackBerry Storm gets unboxed, looks smashing {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2008 4:49PM Actually, this might be possible - I believe the Storm is CDMA/GSM hybrid. Vodafone (the carrier pictured) is a GSM carrier, after all.
DualShock 3 coming next week, compatability list revealed {Joystiq Playstation}
Apr 2nd 2008 11:12AM This list really isn't complete I think - Dark Sector, for example, supports the DualShock3 on PS3 (so says my PS3, my copy of Dark Sector and my imported DualShock3).
Also, notably absent from this list is Call of Duty 4! Come on Infinity Ward, get with the "so last gen"!
Paramount and Universal to publish films on Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Feb 19th 2008 12:25PM Paramount, when they dropped Blu-ray for HD-DVD, cancelled all their announced releases at the time (Jack Ryan Collection, Blades of Glory, etc). No reason to think they won't do the same this time. I doubt very much we'll see any of those Paramount or Dreamworks titles actually released en masse.
