I agree with what he said, but only because I don't really like gaming much. I don't think hardcore games do anyone much good -- What is the point of shooting 100 people in a deathmatch opposed to 10? It's worthless stat tracking until the next big fps comes out.

I'm all for motion gaming and casual experiences for that reason alone. But at the same time I realize that video games are the new books. And they are. You cannot deny, no matter how much you ar...

Never was good enough at the series to really love it -- But I do have fond memories of seeing my buddies drop quarters into them at Aladin's Castle Arcade back in the day. Loved that era in gaming and life. Things were so much better.

Pizza hut then > now
Mc'donalds then > now

Etc, etc, etc

And if the pic shown is representative of the actual gameplay that looks amazing.

It won't. It'll just stop George and Fail team from tampering with the hardware further. Basically restricting them because they're the one's Sony is afraid of the most. They're the ones with the most talent and can do the most damage.

Basically, in the end, Sony is trying to cut the head of the snake after the bite has taken place. It's really not worth it because the damage is already done. Sure they might not bite and strike again, but the conso...

Waste of time and money. Sony hasn't had a very good track record in court to my knowledge.

Bleemcast -- Lost that one
Dualshock -- Lost that one
Optical disc -- Lost that one

Magic 8 balls all over the world are saying "outlook not so good". Sony should just take the money their gonna toss into court cost, and the defendants cost when they win the case, and just put George on Salary.

George is going to be a legend, people. There is a movie already being inked for this guy, trust me. Hollywood loves this kind of $#*T and there is nothing anyone can do to change his status.

He is a thorn in the side of billion dollar companies all over the world, and he's going to be out there in the public eye.

Sony has admited defeat by their actions. They will lose this case and ultimately spend millions on it and security updates that could&#...

I detailed how this could work a few weeks back but everyone balked at it. My idea was to have Sully making bets on this underground racing circuit, not unlike Motorstorm's, and he gets in over his head. The ring leader of the race circuit is a bad mothra and he orders Sully to be killed -- Enter Drake who says he'll race for the circuit and win back the money Sully has cost them, making more money in the process.

If he fails -- Sully dies. If he wins -- Sully live...

Then

A) you've never done it.
B) you don't own one.
C) you love any and everything sony so of course there isn't a problem for you.

Take your pick and shut up. It takes an intense amount of time to change drives, format it, back up your old data and have a functioning system again. The...

@Forza

Makes sense. Lots of it. I mean, what with all the hassle and trouble it takes to back up all your data from one hdd to the next. You know, the 9 to 10 hours it takes for the data back up, depending on what all you've got, and then another 7 hours for the clean reformat.

Yea, no concern at all.

I have a 500gb hdd in both my ps3's and nearly 250gb is taken up on one with psn games, installs and other junk. It takes 18 hours...

Completely boring on all counts. Just because you can add fifty personable characters into the mix doesn't mean you should. And the move support looks doggy at best. The graphics seem weak and so far I've heard nothing about the story or how expansive it is. It looks like it'll be another co-op game that gets played for about a month online and then everyone leaves it for another game and renders it useless.

Smart move, Sony. Make a game where you have to d...

Ummmm, no. You're right. It doesn't. But that still doesn't stop me from wanting Mame on the PS3 as an app.

That's why I said "MAME or BUST!!!"

Meaning, snes, gen, nes all that is welcomed, but I'd love to see Mame on there.

I played the demo for this one and it literally put me to sleep. I mean, out! I woke up to the sound of the controller slipping out of my hand and hitting the floor.

It was the Ps3 version, though. That could be the case. Well that or the 20mg of Ambien I took that night.

Hope not. Sega, to be 100% honest, only had one really good system and that was the Genesis. The master system was awesome, don't get me wrong, but it still wasn't must own status for many.

The Dreamcast was horrible. The games sucked with the exception of like 2 and even still Code Veronica was later ported to everything under the sun.

The controller was the worst abomination known to man. It was the absolute worst controller I had ever used.

Actually my numbers seemed generious in Sony's favor.

Xbox 360 – 23,565,075
PlayStation 3 – 14,252,196

Let's round these to even numbers, ok? We'll even round the xbox 360 numbers down since the Ps3's numbers are so close to 14.

So we got

14 million Ps3's sold in the us
23 million xbox 360's sold in the us

that is a 9 million gap between the 2, not counting the odd tho...

Top 3 reason not to

1. It's a FPS
2. It's a FPS
3. Did I mention it was a FPS? Oh, I did? Well, did I mention it was a FPS made by Epic?

Sony has been stomped into the ground in the U.S. this gen -- Competition is not what they're use to, that much is clear. Wow! I remember they were like 3 million behind xbox 360 in world wide totals before the holidays and now they're like 8 million behind in just the US. I'd be afraid to see what the world wide totals would be now, 10 to 11 million? Sad.

My guess, so people can have one difinitive set top gaming box that does it all.

Nes
Gen
Gameboy
Snes
Mame
Turbo Grafix 16
Saturn
Dreamcast
Jaguar
Neo-geo
Game Gear
Ps1
Ps2
Ps3
cd's
dvd's
Bluray playback
MvK files

I mean, the list goes on and on. Instead of having all those laying around -- You have just one. The Ps...

I never got past the 1st part in the tree. It was just drab and boring and never really felt like a Zelda game to me. The colors seemed muted and the graphics just didn't sing to me. Then again no 3-d game really ever does. They never age well, let's put it that way.

I loved Zelda, Zelda 2 and Zelda 3, though. To this day they sit high, high on my list of all time greats.

Impressive -- Steve is, in my opinion, the best of the best though. He'll beat it again. Billy might beat it in between then and now, but Steve will ultimately go down as the best.

My top score in Donkey Kong, as arcade gaming is really all I care about, is 333,677. Can't top out on it. My only trick is jumping into the top left wall that stops you from getting to Donkey Kong on the 1st level, jumping into that wall as a barrel is underneath you and it'll rack...
