So Microsoft have partnered up with Walmat and are opening up Microsoft shops in NA? Next door to Apple stores? LOL.

They have partnered up with Wal-Mart?  Are you getting that from somewhere else, because this article just says they hired an executive from Wal-Mart. 

If they really have partnered up with Wal-Mart and they put Microsoft stores inside Wal-Mart stores, that would be huge...



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Wow, looks really nice.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

They have had this Microsoft store idea for a while, I bet wanting to get casuals and non-gamers to try out Project Natal is one of the big reasons why it's finally coming to fruition.

Company stores usually charge full MSRP (I thought) so as not to piss of the other retailers. I only buy things on sale....



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
