And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

We'll worry about writing an obituary for that "other" service later!

jaysquared6520d ago

Welcome to 2002 PS3 owners.. Now you can cross game invite and message just like the ORIGINAL Xbox did! Congrats!

staub916520d ago

I guess it's time to see the mass histeria on the Playstation Forums...lol

INehalemEXI6520d ago (Edited 6520d ago )

So far no Custom soundtrack support on these titles ive tried. Goes to try more. Grrrrr! Gives up assuming patches to games will be required before it works.

Poped in God of War 2 ps2, and there is no in game xmb so far with ps2 titles it seems.

sdogg6520d ago

Its finally here! I get home from a crappy night where we lost both softball games to see 2.4 update. I can't believe its actually here.

jwatt6520d ago

I tried out gta online, saw a guy online then hit the home button and went to last players met and the guy was on the list. It works, the xmb is a little slower in-game but Sony could possiblly do a performence update to make it run faster.

If developers were smart they would hurry up and get patches out to support trophies and custom soundtracks because the first games to do it will get alot of attention. I want to see MGS4, COD4, GTA4 and Warhawk all get pathches.

INehalemEXI6520d ago

I agree we need them patches.

Liquid Dust6520d ago (Edited 6520d ago )

Those are definitely the big 4 that i want to see get trophies, and I definitely want see what Insomniac/Ratchet and what Naughty Dog will have in store for us via Uncharted. Drake is well overdue for another run through, its gonna suck picking up all those treasures again, but im looking forward to taking down some more baddies.

CrashSharc6520d ago

LOL, Where's Sonarus When you need him!?!?!?!?!?!

haha. happy downloading guys.

jwatt6520d ago

Yea my friend has Uncharted, I might let him hold one of my games so I can play it again.

ajeben8096520d ago

now gimme some firmware lol

Expy6520d ago

Will download when I get home :D

joydestroy6520d ago

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+bubble!

INehalemEXI6520d ago

Ah I see now the superstardust HD custom soundtracks accessed through the games options. I was expecting to access it through the XMB.

plenty a tool6520d ago

lol everyone jumping up and down. welcome to the features that have been on the hated competitions console since back in 03, and have been standard since launch of the 360! and after reading so many condemn achievements, it's really surprising to see that they all now love trophies and they will soon be the new sliced bread. you've just gotta love the hypocrites that dwell on this very sad site.

anyway, it's good to see that the ps3 is finally getting some standard stuff, and is making tentative steps to becomming a decent unified service. the ps4 could well have an on-line service to match the xbox brands.

Cicinho6520d ago

wow, wtf everyone replied to you hahaah n00bish

crank6520d ago

Final Fantasy X 25th Anniversary Website Launches With New Nomura Artwork and Merchandise

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle10d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7710d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde17d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy17d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7718d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga18d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199218d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga18d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman17d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger18d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box18d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion17d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7218d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7518d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit18d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14918d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7718d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
