I would be scared of owning Alibaba. Bubble all over this one.
"The bigger concern is that, because China's government restricts foreign ownership of Chinese assets, Alibaba shareholders won't actually own the company. Instead, through a so-called variable interest entity (VIE), they will...
You guys need to take the first world glasses off. People buying them are probably a poor family household where they can consolidate numerous devices to one:
- Phone
- PC
- Books
- TV
Why choose when you can have them all?

I hear you brotha. Dreamcast never got a fair shake between the 'Holding out for PS2' Fanbois and the easy no mod chip needed pirating. :(
I found it hilarious when the first gen PS2 games all were blurry meanwhile Soul Calibur was razor sharp and buttery smooth day one.
Yes but this is the biggest contributor. May as well see to the insane profit they have been making directly, then pay the publishers a small percentage (for those who pay a higher publishing price of course).
Call me crazy (it happens all the time), why don't the publishers & the big 3 (MS,Sony, Nintendo) just buy controlling stake in gamestop and demand they get compensated?...
Market Cap
Gamestop 4.23 Billion
Sony 20.33 Billion
MS 295.80 Billion (!)
Nintendo 13.89 Billion
More like 7,8,9

Believe me I am NOT for those programs either. At least not with some sort of verification of need, sliding pay scale to get them off, shorter terms, drug test,etc. I have no prob with the govt helping someone get back on their feet. Its the ones that drag their feet and refuse to help...
Someone has to collect the money all the Republicans spent on two wars and tax rebates for all this last decade. The restaurant bill has come due and we're all washing dishes now yet the Republicans act like they didn't ring up the bill and only had a glass of water.;)
Naa I'll just work through my backlog while these clowns get their heads out of their asses and realized they effed up. ;)
At least with PC you have several choices (greenman, GOG, Amazon, Steam, Origin, Uplay, hell even GameStop) which tends to keep some competition in check. I dont have...
You will not just combat used sales/piracy. You will combat new sales as I won't buy a console that won't let me freely exchange games. What if I want to use a Gamefly subscription? Not all of us wipe our bums with $100 bills. I like to try before I buy. :)
Maybe they should work on getting the stock on shelves before trying this locker business...

Remember buying a 256MB SD card from them back in the day. Weren't reliable then so I avoided them from there on. Good to see it still holding true today. Shocked to see them still in business though:eek:

If you devote a slide on your webpage on how to pronounce the name of your site, you have already failed. Stick with buy.com and just improve the site/search guys.
Sooo you're annoyed at the bank being overzealous of protecting your $ instead of under? If I were running a bank and saw that, I would lock your account too. Did you notify them PRIOR to going on that trip? I'm guessing you didn't.
Not saying the company is not partially at fault here but.
Strike 1: Patco generally only made transfers once a week on Fridays ( unauthorized transactions were occurring outside normal patterns/hours)

Just a side note, adjusting for 3% year-over-year inflation, the WiiU standard is 50$ cheaper than the OG Wii coming in a 248$. So technically, they are making even less per system (I'm sure they are still making something)
Umm 100 million vs 70 million is 30% not 45%. Not really something to brag about when the system came out cheaper than the existing competition.
People forget that Wii was making money on systems DAY ONE of launch. MS/Sony sell at or below cost and need to recoup the costs of the system...
