They're arguing this on a technicality for most likely two connected reasons: One is that Sony may be suing under, partially, Californian law, and the argument is to say that Californian law is not the applicable law in the case, which is therefore out of the court's jurisdiction OR that the Californian court is the wrong forum to hear the trial and the case should be dismissed by that court.
That's how I would understand it anyway (being an articled clerk).
Yeah my point is that it hasn't hurt the 360 from a sales or development standpoint in that the games are still being made for it anyway. So we can sit back and damn their choice saying it lowered the bar for the market as the PS3 has more storage capacity, but developers have still have had to go down the 'lowest common denominator' route, aka DVD storage as opposed to not developing for the 360 at all. Therefore the 360 still gets the games, and PS3 is only fully utilised with e...
@jke2
I hope you don't mean Gran Turismo 5 which has been out since November 2010...?
personally i think the whole issue of storage hasn't affected 360 that much, as with all multi-plat games are just going to be developed to fit on 360 as it's basically 50% of the HD console market. there's probably only a handful of examples where there's been multiple discs etc.
Blu Ray seems to only have been of advantage to PS3's exclusive line up.
If Black Ops is anything to go by then no, no it won't.
THIS CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICE IS SUPERIOR TO YOURS, BLU RAY DOES NOT COMPUTE, WAAAH
Agree.
GT5 is already a run away success, nothing will 'kill' it.
I definitely think MP is dumbed down but not all the criticisms you cite. I do like brutal melee, I think it's just an element of fun- you don't need everything to be skill based. I don't like the removal of so many features, for example respawn on squad leader, custom games etc.
I also think there's balancing issues with the new spawn capture point system as opposed to spawn grenades. The amount of games I've been in where one team becomes simply spawn t...
Don't like or want motion control. Dualshock please.

I agree that dumbed down games that continually hold your hand are also a bad development- but to me this is simply worse. What we get now are basically incomplete games and if you buy them day one you become a beta tester. It's my opinion.
I didn't name Killzone 3 in my blog or any game for that matter, as I contend I don't need to because any console gamer would know what I'm talking about. However, I did use the Killzone 3...
Why? Killzone 3 is definitely one of those games that's being patched to completion post it's release- particularly in the multiplayer. Any fan of Killzone will tell you it's missing almost every great feature of KZ2 MP, and GG is busy continually adding things in patches.
I've played a lot of Killzone 3 and while good, it's mulitplayer is definitely lacking in comparsion to Killzone 2 in both presentation, features and in-game abilities.
...
Killzone 3 would be great if they kept everything that was in Killzone 2 MP and just added to it, as opposed to just eliminating just about every unique feature.
Another multiplat another PS3 game gets shafted. Still looks good, but I still don't know why they can't create console 'equality' by now, we know its possible.
Hah I'd laugh if they inadvertently found other illegal stuff on his HDD's and he went down for that too.
He's gotta have some computer smarts to be able to do this. Isn't he also responsible for the iPhone jailbreak?
But then again he was dumb enough to post online that he'd done it, with the cracks, and leaving it all traceable back to him for the inevitable lawsuit so there you go...
Pardon me, wasn't clear. I was referring to criminal charges after misreading the article. I meant to say he won't be found guilty- just liable.
I hate these two they're clueless.
To quote:
"Then,
It is now likely that Hotz will be found guilty to all charges."
He won't be found guilty and he's not being charged with anything... yet. He may be found in contempt of court which would require jail time, and this is also likely to lead to a finding of liability and therefore he'll probably lose his case and a lot of money.
Ahhh so it's hackers... So annoying!
