At a user's suggestions, the story has been reclassified as a rumour. Do you agree that this is a more fair way to present the story, due to the lack of information from first party sources?
In regards to your edit, I have already pointed out that Sony has pointed out on their DevNet that all consumer machines should stay off-line. This was confirmed by a very trusted website, VG247, which I linked you to. Are you telling me that Patrick Garratt isn't a trusted journalist either?
Saying you don't believe me despite the link that I just provided to Sony saying just that makes little logical sense.
I am simply reporting what is being reported to me, as a p...
Get your facts right: Sony has suggested on their DevNet not to connect *any* consumer units to PSN. Dev-Net is a member only resource for the media, so I'm simply going on their word. This is the closet to an official word as you'll get, from a very legit site: http://www.vg247.com/2010/0...
I have better things to do as a journalist than make stuff up for...
I must be blind, because I don't see how this is a duplicate story. I haven't seen post on here pointing out that consumers are claiming that they Slim PS3s are also being affected. If someone will link me to it, I will gladly retract that statement.
It's both hardware and PSN related. Try putting the clock on your PC out of synch and you'll see something similar happen to what's happening right now.
You're expecting common sense on the internet? Surely you jest!
Its entirely justified. The machines are currently incapable of even playing downloadable games in many cases, and the themes on my own PS3 unit have all be replaced with "corrupted data".
They're not gonna accept machines if they don't even know if they can be fixed.
I guess it could be worse.
Awesome. Will be getting.
Looking forward to this.
Decent game, but it felt like the sequel that didn't have to be made.
Unfortunately, it looks like we're gonna be stuck with Avatars and Natal for the time being.
Really wish they'd make their minds up about this. It's just getting silly at this point.
He is not using "magical sunglasses". They are UV glasses, which do actually exist, and allow a person to see certain things the average eye is not making up typical. Certain things will appear brighter, and certain thing will appear darker.
The "scanning" and data read-outs are just a convenient way of transcribing the experience into the gameplay, and obviously shouldn't be taken literally.
If the CGI ends up looking poor, I'll definitely go with the PS3 version. At the end of the day, both versions will be superficially identical, but might as well get the better of the two if I can.
Punk'd.
Games looking nice.
Can't go far wrong with the Konami code.
"Making up "news" that isn't a duplicate is so easy to do, isn't it?"
Reporting what is reported to me by the very owners of the machine is not "making up news", as has already been pointed out.
"If I believed every fanboy on this site that claimed their PS3 got the YLOD or they had 15 XBOX360's, I would've never bought a next-gen console to begin with."
I own both consoles and enjoy them both. I am simply reportin...
