    Whah? I bought more video games in May than I have in the whole last year! Nonsense.

  2. Greensaab says:

    Since the latest version consoles are still WAY overpriced and I will not buy one why would I buy a game for one.

    I never understood this, if windows doesnt come with any browser how are you supposed to get on the internet to get one? Are you supposed to buy one from the store? Why shouldnt microsoft put the basic tools in with windows and then we can get our own better ones if we want? (does europe just have tons of browers in stores to be bought?)

    @#4 re: Internet Explorer

    I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run a Windows Update to download IE on the Euro Edition of Windows 7.

    Although I’ve heard there is talk of Europe requiring pre-installation of several different browser options (IE, FireFox, Opera … maybe Chrome + Safari?) due to some EU sanctions against Microsoft.

    Wow, GM killing their 2010 Malibu Hybrid. What a surprise. NOT!! So will GM get another decade or so, to stall? Again?! They crushed and shredded their last prototype EV cars, back in the 1990s.

    #5 HMeyers
    The cry babies at Opera  who kept crying to the EU that bundling the browser with the OS was unfair, obviously got what they wanted, no browser bundled. Now they are going to be complaining that nobody is downloading their browser, because, suprise surprise, there is no way to do so. IDIOTS

    Holy smokes, that is TOTALLY accurate (games comment). There have been NO good games created during the Q1 of 09. Bring me another Baldurs gate allready! Ive been waiting since ~2000 for it.
