How am I using 10GB a month in bandwith just through my avatar and the pictures in my account which total up to around 47MB?
I would imagine every instance of your name on a thread page will generate a unique load. Then just figure how many views there are of any given thread. It adds up fast.

Yeah, but my avatar is somewhere around 240kb so it's pretty insane.

That's 44,000 loads. I'm sure Racket can give an idea of what the traffic is like for the site.

I think in this case most people are expressing their disgust at this "journalist" instead of acting like Sony/M$/N fanboys.

That video is kinda ridiculous. Seriously though, I vastly prefer to switch out the rechargeable batteries on my 360 controller to plug in the ps3 controllers. The cords we have are a bit too short to reach to the couch. That's also the reason I need to find some extensions for my Dreamcast controllers.
Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

You know me so well.

Seriously, though - would you stop people in Wal-Mart about to buy the Nintendo DSi because - oh noes! - it has an internal battery?

Hell, most people see that as a selling point. Thank God I don't have to deal with mountains upon mountains of batteries anymore! I know that's how I was looking at the DS when it first came out.

If you want to criticize the PS3, there are plenty of real things you can criticize it for.

Get a longer USB cable. They're dirt cheap.
