i dont know about not being able to hack the psp3000, and even if they cant do it now, it will eventually come. when they released the psp slim, everyone hailed it as the end of psp hacks, but they hacked that in only a few months.
and i wouldnt say that there is not a problem with piracy on the ds, because it, too, has been easily hacked. i just dont think the problem is as widespread as the psp
that being said, the psp is a much more versatile tool to hack, you...
lol it will never happen. darkalex is a better programmer than sonys entire psp staff. he cracks every new firmware version like, the day after it comes out, and even BEFORE the new firmware comes out, sometimes.
um, wasnt bioshock on ps3 superior to the 360 version? i thought that the big fuss about the ps3 version was that it didnt blow the 360 version out of the water? it was supposed to have better textures, but then again i played it on pc so i had zero interest in either of the console versions. pc still owns consoles for shooters, just for the kb+m controls alone.
agreed.
game on.
everyone has a few years left.
ms is probably going to put out the next system before nintendo or sony, but i highly doubt that that will be anytime soon, not for another 3-4 years, is my guess. ms is pretty successful this time around, and they have no reason to want to drop the 360 after 4 years, like they did the original xbox. they seem to be making a good amount of money off of the 360, and will probably want to milk it for as long as they can, just like sony did the ps2. ...
agreed with thor.
not everyone is the only person who plays games in the house. what about all the people with siblings or roommates? online is nice because it gives people who would normally play alone the option to play with other people, but as thor said, theres nothing better than playing with friends sitting next to you. also, online has technical setbacks, and its also easier to communicate with something sitting next to you than talking to someone online.
lol that was oddly clever.
just thought that the use of the term "totally rad" in the title was funny; makes it sounds like were in the 90s and everyone is wearing neon colored spandex. haha.
they need to outlaw the phrase "proven fact" on n4g.
the xbox controller is NOT factually better than the ds3. you may think that it is better, as do many people, but that is personal preference. read many of the comment above you, a lot of people prefer the ds3 over the xbox controller because they have been using it for so long. they are not "bending the rules of the universe" by defying "fact". i think that the xbox controller is more comfor...
correct me if im wrong but...
they didnt say that they were going to cut anything out from the game, what they said is that they were excluding some higher res textures to save on space, but the excluded textures were going to be in obscure places, so it wont be noticeable, unless you are looking for it. im going off of memory so i could be wrong, but thats what i remember hearing
i disagree.
sony doesnt need a "drastic" price cut, but it DOES need to get the ps3 into the "affordable" range, which i think is ~300. its still seen as a "elitist" console just by price alone, and until they get into the affordable range they are not going to see a boom in sales. that being said, i still think that it is selling very well for its price range. xbox right now, in my opinion at least, is seen widely as the "poor mans hd consol...
just because sony dominated last gen is by no means reason for anyone to believe that all the ps2 users are just going to "jump on board" the ps3, especially at the high price its at right now. what im saying is that because of the price difference, the gap should be every widening, and it is not. what im pointing out is that wen the ps3 actually does become affordable, its going to see a huge surge i sales, because a lot of ps2 fans are going to jump on it.
and i cla...
no buns?! what the hell. those are trademark. and kristen kuerk? really? this is a goddam shame.
@karlostomy
i usually have a fair amount of respect whenever you post something, even if we have opposite opinions on the subject at hand. you usually have fairly strong evidence to support your claims, and have reasoning that is often hard to refute.
but you just applauded auqanox for using vgchartz to prove his point, saying that ps3 fans often use "dodgy sales stats". we ALL know that vgchartz itself is a site with "dodgy sales statistics," a...
i believe if you drop the xbla and psn games, the margin will increase even more. retail games should only be considered, imo. dlc and psn/xbla games have a smaller critic base and and tiny releases in comparison to full retail games.
a lot of people are forgetting that the xbox costs half of the ps3. shouldnt it be DECIMATING the ps3? just barely edging by because of christmas sales is not a victory for microsoft, if you ask me. what happens when the ps3 drops to $3/400? $250/350?
i know its been a tired argument, but seriously, when the ps3 starts getting into people's budgets, they are going to sell a lot better than they did this year, thats for sure; and this year they sold on par with the 360, all t...
i found your monolog very amusing, sounded like you practice that in the mirror every day
i just want to point out that despite your claim, sony does not lack 3rd party support, its actually quite the opposite. in the past i may have conceded that there was weak 3rd party support for the ps3, but that seems to have ended, as there are a decreasing number of 3rd party exclusives for the 360. on the other hand, major developers like EA and Ubisoft are on record saying that they a...
since when is a 10 hour game a "robust" experience? remember back in the day when 20-30 hour games were the norm, and a 60-hour final fantasy game was long? games these days are so shallow...
i like that analogy, but you do have to take in account that the multiplat games are going to the ps3 and xbox, not the xbox and wii. id give you a 1/2 an agree if i could.
wow i was reading up, and i was incredibly surprised that mgs was at 9 and lbp was at 7. as i got to the end of the second to last page, i thought to myself, "wow, no gears yet? gears #1?! oh boy this is going to cause the ps3 fanboy riot of the year!" to my surprise, gta #1! wtf! lol boy i thought there was just going to be backlash from ps3 fanboys because how low mgs, lbp, and r2 were, but NO GEARS is going to drive the xbox fanboys nuts, especially considering that was the...
