The cost of Warcraft 08:22am on 20 Oct 2008 I think daft bloggers who assume we want to know intimate details about their personal lives and bored surfers looking at funny dog clips on youtube should stop wasting bandwidth and let us gamers put it to good use.

And what's this about "a bit of a mystery for a man of my age"? I think you're under the misapprehension that these games are solely for kids. Don't let the cutesy style fool you. I know retired married couples who play WoW together and I'm sure they're older than you.
Web-to-TV revolution 12:04pm on 22 May 2008 Funny enough I think ISPs are going to be one of the biggest stumbling blocks for this. At the moment I have a 20meg Virgin Media connection, but if I download more than 2GB a week then apparently I am a greedy user and Virgin limit my speed back to about 1.5meg. It's absolutely silly. Because they have oversubscribed and their network cannot handle it they are basically saying you can have a fast connection but you can't use it. They've also been hitting peer-to-peer hard which is understandable but not all peer-to-peer is illegal downloads.
Web-to-TV revolution 4:01pm on 21 May 2008 Sorry Jim but the only refference made to HD in this article was the HD in HDTV.

Funny you should mention Blu-ray though as some people are under the impression that Microsoft backed HD-DVD over Blu-ray just to stur up the format war and make people more relutant to pick either format.

Why would MS want both formats to fail you ask? Because they want a hand into the film industry cash pot via digital downloads.

It's just a conspiracy theory, but you have to admit it sounds plausable.

Oh and Maggie, you forgot three big factors in the digital download world: Wii, 360 and PS3.
