Metal Gear Online to require a konami.net registration
Now, granted, the connection between you Xbox Live account and game websites isn’t quite perfect (so far I think only the websites for Microsoft games have been able to access your Live account) but, come on… that’s really pushing the limits of what the PS3’s lack of real online community implies, and abusing the integrated web browser.
As far as I know, even Valve didn’t interface the Orange Box for consoles with Steam, even though they’re the game publisher with most reason and incentive to do it. I wonder how GTA4 and the Rockstar Social Club will work, though; for all I know they’re going to have to do the same, even on the Xbox, if they don’t get direct access to Live accounts. (Although that was the whole point of Microsoft’s good old “Passport” thing, wasn’t it? Logging in with your ID on third-party sites?)
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
