You used all 3 bubbles just to inflate the 360 in a non-360 thread, proclaim all out doom on the PS3 on everything including its game library in the middle of a 2011 exclusive blowout (Motorstorm Apocalypse this Tues btw), then you report someone else as a 'personal attack' when it wasn't even pertaining to you? Dude, really?
Nice how Geddes takes the opportunity to show his true colors and goes off on a tangent about completely UNRELATED stuff like the PSN not having cross-game chat, PSPlus automatic downloads, not liking the XMB, XBL having more games than PSN (quantity>quality?) and that he's been saying PS has basically sucked for years.
Omg lol, what...the hell...was that?!
If that was a fan comment, they'd be deleted for trolling! That's an IGN editor? Peo...
ps3 causes cancer eh, nice joke, my dad had cancer 3 years ago. I already lost one bubble for calling a troll a troll...let's make it two N4G!
You're not understanding what I said. I didn't say ppl that had few to no problems didn't get a game, I'm saying what made MS give out the free game in the 1st place, what propogated it, was the prolonged crashes. Nobody gives out a free game after 24 hrs of downtime, and neither did MS. Game came later.
lol, yeah those quotes are in total opposition. So which is it Colin? Are you a pitcher or a catcher? =P
Seriously though, Sony got attacked/hacked. Instead of writing an article about this new era of unscrupulous hackers disrupting online communities and hurting developers and fans, he turns the whole thing into a "poor me" rant directed at Sony and how he can't synch trophies, how he's not getting what he paid for (after he said he is) and what are they g...
Why would you leave when there are so many great SP only games? Take the opportunity to check out something you may have missed whether it's Ratchet & Clank Future, Heavenly Sword, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Valkyria Chronicles, one of the HD Collections (I recommend the Sly Cooper trilogy) or even the free copy of DS:Extraction you got with DS2. Yakuza 3 & 4 alone are 50 hours well spent...EACH.
People keep saying XBL only had problems for a day. Umm...your g-word doesn't mean much when google can pull up old articles from back then too, including a resulting lawsuit: http://www.joystiq.com/2007... http://www.wired.com/gameli...

PSN charges the same as XBL? PSN is free like Silver, except Silver won't let you play.
Cloud storage > Cross Chat for me. Cross Chat won't back up/transfer my 100+ hr Demon's Soul save. Parties? Every game nowadays supports parties. You can even hook up through Home.
Complaining about BD Live which the 360 doesn't even support? Not that many ppl online? You know of a lotta 3000 vs 3000 TDM games on XBL that require 6000 ppl in a lobby, or...
Blog takes a bit of a fanboy POV. Typical PS3rd place quotes and 360/Wii2 posturing that have nothing to do with the issue at hand. First he says service outtages like these are rare, then 2 sentences later he says its down consistently. So which is it?
FYI, XBL was down for many ppl just last month http://www.avforums.com/for... . Didn't exactly drive ...
It is written in a backhanded compliment kinda way. Check out the 1st paragraph.
The way he says tuesday multiplat purchase decisions have been an XBox one way street because of COD timed DLC (apparently some people buy the game every week, lol?) and a Homefront map of all things are pretty short-term memory for a G4 article.
So in 'guest writers' mind a free Homefront map > a free DeadSpaceExtraction in DS2, a free HD MedalOfHonor1 in MOH, Joker m...
@B1663
You don't need online to access the exclusive Kratos & 3D in Mortal Kombat, Socom is a full game with a SP campaign (remember those?), and the free code for a Portal 2 PC/Mac download means you can still play the game.
Your "defeat from the jaws of victory" spin makes no sense. How does a free XBL weekend benefit the 20 mil' that already pay for Gold?! PSN will still have Steam for Portal come Monday. 2 days < forever.
@me3guy
You must have the luck of the irish. Here's a few XBL hiccups from just this year:

If by trump you mean dropped more frames, had a tear %, grain glitched, texture and object popped, had lesser 3D, poorer/glitched AI, difficulty breaking cloak and spotty hit detection in an online that's dead outside of TDM...then sure.
That'd be fine if IGN hadn't given Crysis 2 different visual scores, annointing it god status on the 360 despite a country mile of visual bugs and exclusive tearing and grain glitches. I guess inconsistency is a risk you run though when you employ a revolving door of reviewers.
@artsaber
That does seem like a bit of a brush-off. When they do mention Steam it's a "trimmed down variation" lol instead of listing all its benefits like cross-platform...
@SnakeMustDie
You're right. How you have 17 disagrees is beyond me. Someone explain to me how a game with a 92 avg where you can probably recreate Portal lol, isn't a contender? Replay value online is through the roof. Oh well *shrugs*
You do know HDTVs and Stereo Receivers should be calibrated, right? They also come with several of their own different presets like theater/standard/dynamic/sport /gamemode/store display etc. It can make all the difference. Playing a game in a dimly lit 'theater' mode for example doesn't mean the game itself is lower res'.
Most videogames have their own calibration menus in-game on top of that for brightness etc. "Turn X down until you barely see the imag...
So you're boycotting something that you never supported in the 1st place. That sounds Hotzfully familiar, lol.
Good answers in general by Meyer, like squashing the killstreak paranoia. People are getting way ahead of themselves, especially the NeoGaf KZ3 gustapo. For one, KZ3 didn't add half this much stuff so I don't know why they're so quick to assume the worst. If "streamlining" means customization and not having 5 of the same Drake skin on o...
@BK-201
Yeah no doubt.
DC Universe is the same on PC as it is on the PS3.
Gears of War is the same on PC as it is on the 360.
That's one thing.
Resistance Retribution, Killzone Liberation, GOW Chains of Olympus/Ghost of Sparta, Gran Turismo, LBP, ModNation on the other hand are completely different games on the PSP than what their namesakes have on the PS3. I don't even know how the PS2 factors into this. Twisted Metal 2011 i...
Wow, talk about flushing $10,000 down the toilet. What a boondoggle this whole thing turned out to be. I guess it just goes to show that you can take the nerd outta the basement, but you can't take the basement outta the nerd.
Yeah I'll go back, think about it.
After this, Sony will probably be paranoid and invest more in security than ever. No choice really.
Credit card info was encrypted, and your card provider automatically has fraud protection & reimburses anyways. Changing card numbers every couple years ain't a bad thing to do anyways. I've changed phone numbers half a dozen times just by moving.
PSN personal info is basic, nothing you can'...
