2008 PSN hack suspect smashes PCs, hides HDDs, gets off lightly
He smashed them and they don't have hard drives, and he's hardly going to toddle off to Curry's to get another now.
Oh, and I don't care that my personal details are floating around out there - 20 years and a quarter million fine for this is just obscene. Murderers get less, and being deprived of life is considerably worse than being hacked. Reply +9
BioShock Infinite sells "significantly" more than series predecessors
Ouya launch delayed a few weeks as another $15 million is raised
Minecraft was originally created by one dude in his spare time on a shoe-string budget. I've spent more time on that than I have any game this generation bar the big hitters like Skyrim, Fallout and Mass Effect (and, if I'm honest, maybe more than a couple of those too).
And graphically, it looks like a cube shit a bunch of other cubes all over the place.
I'm not particularly interested in the Ouya, but your nonsense about 'bigger budgets and sparklier graphics = better games" is exactly that - nonsense. Reply +1
GAME plans to open 18 new shops by July
Helpful tip: I used to work on the electrical department at Tesco. Most of their 'pre-owned' games aren't actually pre-owned at all. Because the service is under-used by customers, they don't have enough traded in games to fill the allocated shelf space, and so they simply tear the cellophane off new games and stick them out there in Safer Cases.
You can tell which are which quite easily*; Tesco slaps their own barcode labels on the back of pre-owned games. The ones with yellow labels are genuinely second hand. The ones with white labels, however, are not. I got some pretty good deals out of this, buying effectively new games at pre-owned prices.
* This method of identification is only true of pre-owned games shipped to stores from Tesco. Those which have been traded in in-store and put straight back onto the shelves (incidentally, no form of checks are carried out, and those handling the process are usually clueless about games) will have smaller, self-made white-and-yellow barcode labels.

That's because OpCapita don't "save" companies; they bleed them dry and then discard them. They did the same thing with Comet.
Game's time on this Earth is limited. Even if the retail market for games picks up, they won't be around to enjoy it, at least not in their current form. I remember cringing when I heard that OpCapita had "saved" Game; regardless of my problems with them, I don't want to see them go under. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's going to happen now that OpCapita is involved. Reply +1
