Make no mistake, the new controller is just an excuse to keep the premium at $60 without offering anything that is actually new. Impulse triggers? Does that actually mean anything to anyone?

Don’t forget the HDD is static and cannot be removed.

If by hardcore you mean they play CoD or Battlefield, then I imagine yes. If you get a sense that I’m not happy about the direction new games are going, you would be correct.

That’s because the NFL sucks when you actually see many of the sports in other countries.

At least it’s better than CoD: Pets. Oh, and don’t forget the time exclusive DLC, that ALWAYS makes me happy.

So you’re saying it’s better for a company to charge for BASIC FUNCTIONALITY like chatting with your friends and playing online. Really? The XBox costs much more than the PS in the long run.

I won’t argue with you there.

Except it did not start with XBox music. It started with Zune, so you have no ground to stand on.

I feel the exact same way. I keep contemplating getting the new plan to lower the price, but then I think about all the music I would lose, and I just can’t do it.

Windows 8 does both Zune and XBox Music, while RT can only run XBox Music. Not that Windows RT matters to many people.

The Verge has such a hard-on for Google right now, I fear your comment falls of deaf ears.

Shouldn’t this be “How everybody beat Apple to a streaming music service” instead of just Google?

I’m sure you can overclock ANY phone, whether it’s necessary is a different matter altogether.

The challenge in most reviews, as I see it, is that the reviewer has to make a decision based on their experience with the product. This can lead to people thinking they have a bias, but I was also not trying to imply that not making a decision is okay either.

9 days ago on Toshiba Kirabook review: finally, a flagship Windows 8 laptop

Comment

Whenever the manufacturers choose to make them. It’s not Microsoft holding the hardware back at this point. To be clear though, I don’t think a display much above 720p is worth it to most manufacturers unless it will also increase pixel density. The same goes for quad core and it’s increased power consumption. Everybody is different, but personally I would rather have a phone that last a long time, even if I do have to sacrifice a bit of power or display resolution. 1280×786 is not a bad resolution for a phone though, and neither is dual core a bad balance between power and batter.

Are there people who want more? Sure. I’m mainly speaking from a personal preference here. The point is that Windows Phone supports 1080p with the promise of quad core support in the future, not right now, and the exact time frame is unknown, but it is coming.

I was pointing out that Windows Phone moved up from a QVGA[?] display to a 720p display, which is quite a jump, and that the kernel is able to support up to 1080p. It was bad wording on my part, but the NT kernel has a lot more flexibility than the CE kernel.

Fence sitting is what one does in reviews. It is not the reviewers job to make up the minds of the people reading the review. Such people, ones who make decisions based on someone else’s opinion, and without thinking for themselves, are halfwits.

It’s not just about power for mobile devices though, you have to balance with battery performance, and lately Intel has not done a good job of that.

It’s not Microsoft’s fault. I believe the review even pointed out that third-parties needed to add support in for those resolutions. From what I could tell every native Windows app/program was fine.
