Considering what you get for around the same price.........the decision isn't really rocket surgery for most.Some of us knew years ago what some are now realising;It is a matter of perception........now FULLY perceived.Price+ functionality and reliability=win.It was then and is now.

Said,or rather asked it best.....the answer coming soon.
I would prefer games journalism......sign up where?

Ditch Sony?.......for what.....the ' alternative'?
Provide 5 reasons why I should and maybe I will listen......or continue as you are and I will continue to ignore you with sound reason.Wait........advertismen ts pay that well!?......a lesson learned perhaps.Thanks for coming out,but NO.

Did say that GT5 was good to go or some variant of "ready to launch anytime". Perfectionism aside,reasonable expectations aside, reality dictates that this game has had plenty of ' development' time.It had better be 'racing sim defined' given the time afforded,at this point I am more annoyed than anticipatory.Damage modelling.......fine,damage control........not to be confused.GET IT OUT.

Watch and perhaps learn.I didn't sign it and I will not,it is one of many so called ' petitions'.I,and many others I know,will and have supported this 'idea'.9000 and who cares? More like 90,000......and counting.Think about it........you CARE.
A whisper becomes a call becomes a deafening roar.Ignore it,fine,but it doesn't go away.I support it.YES,I have spread the word,my work is done.The rest is up to YOU.

It is the principle not the end result.They spoke now we respond in ...

Is this; payment for services provided or freedom for services provided?
Advertisements may induce compulsion or rather,avoidance.You get what you pay for right?I pay nothing(outside of my IP's fees) and remain privy to everything the online world has to offer.Pay an additional fee for what? privilege?.Personally,I don't see the apparent benefits,above and beyond advertisements.I would gladly pay 'extra' for a music/movie/game service that is set to MY personal tastes, however,that isn'...

and often underwhelming.
Custom engines ftw,costly and requiring aptitude but ultimately superior,in most cases.
Enough UE3 mediocracy,it's time has past.It works,and works well in most cases.Adequate and abused now the watchwords or rather the 'norm'.Time to move on,progress as it were.

Trophies are fine as they stand,a measure of skill and a reason to brag.Avatars,however,are not so fine.We need more options Sony.

@cmrbe-You should be proud to finish within the top 2%,the honor rank trophies are meant to do exactly that.It is a measure of skill and rewards you for that.Revel in it,we all did lol.You like online games that temper the reward with skill and perseverance?,try Warhawk(maybe you already have).MGO as well but it isn't for everyone,awkward as hell at f...

An invite to the MAG beta would rule!.Very interested in this so far,an innovative departure from the norm hopefully.Invite the true Canadian king and we will get this thing right.The 'RedburnWap2' is ready...........=)

Long winded answer,ALL of them collectively.The PS3 is not and will not be defined by a single game,rather an assortment of excellent games catering to a wide range of play styles and preferences.That IS it's strength and the definite reason to own one.From LBP to Warhawk to Infamous to MAG and Killzone to Demons Souls to Socom and Gran Turismo(VC,MGS4,Heavenly Sword.....etc,etc).Games define,not "a game".=)

Clever marketing ploy.281+ comments later and one can only ask; Surprised or disappointed? personally,I am both,for reasons that I won't explain in detail.Not a big deal,yet a strangely familiar one.

However,watching the modernization of warfare crush everything around it isn't my idea of 'awesome' considering games like Demons Souls,Borderlands,UC2 release near it and are far more artistic,innovative games that could be casualties of this 'war'.
Or,the modernization of warfare will burn 'hard and fast' leaving room for other titles to flourish.That would be ideal but unlikely?...... assuming it goes as foreseen.

I agree.If they honestly believe that all can 'overlooked' as long as more Guitar Hero's and Modern Warfare's bombard my sanity,they are wrong,and I am not alone.
As you said,there are alot of great games out there,variety is the spice of life.They would do well to retract their claws and treat us as a little more than just MW vacuums.
Activision wants to be NO.1......fair enough,but you won't get there like this.The modernization of warfare isn't the end all,be all.In fact I pl...

Maybe,a shallow one at that.Some of Activision's recent actions are certainly questionable.They foolishly believe,or seem to believe,that if they build it we will come in droves regardless of price or pride or preferrance.They are 'gravely' mistaken in that belief,of that I am sure.You start alienating the very people who lifted you up and don't expect them to catch you as you fall.

A steady flow of quality games that interest me is ALL that I really require.Provide this and my money you have.So far,all is well and looking ahead I am more interested than ever.Metacritic,sales,comparis ons..........I will draw my own conclusion,thnx anyways.It's all opinion,I am no different.PS3 it is,by a mile,and no amount of graphs and charts and sales is convincing me otherwise.Fight the fear with numbers when all else fails.....Fight the opinions with.....other opinions.

Indeed,and not referring to the 'platform' in question.
The 'panic merchants' continue to beckon from shadowy corners of the internet,peddling their wares.

Personally I associate this song with LBP,always have always will.Can Microsoft use it?sure.Does using it change my opinion of MS? Not at all,however,I feel compelled to play LBP.......how strange yet fitting.=) For their next ad I would suggest the song from the end credits in Infamous.It is one of only three available songs......tragic,really.

I suppose.I haven't played COD4 for over a year.Has it really become a haven for hackers and glitchers? MGO was taken over by the hacks for a period and then 'cleaned out'.In time they returned however.....
Good luck IW.

Yet MW2 continues to fuel the fire,it aims to succeed and it will.No doubt.However,when the fire threatens to consume everything around it,concerns arise.Delays because of MW2 or another, HOT game? I suspect it is a combination of both mixed with the realisation that GT5 will hit in late Nov.UC2 only feeds the flame,in fact it may quell them,if initial impressions mean anything.GT5 Nov?? call me informed later,call me foolish now.
