I think he's referring to being able to rip games/movies from BD's or DVD's to the HDD.
True that there's so much in the way of pirating software to make it unviable for an individual, but there's a big, well funded black market out there that probably has the capacity to tap into this and make it profitable- large DVD and gaming piracy operations are relatively easy to set up and are run virtually everywhere by organised crime- I remember only a few weeks ago in my city a big operation being shutdown from a house in a fringe suburb- it was all over the news.
Those ...
Why else would you hack something if you don't want it to be susceptible to piracy? It's insulting everyone's intelligence to say otherwise.
buying two copies? can I have one?
some of these screens are impressive while others fall really flat, its a mixed bag. screens never do a game justice though.
Gran Turismo 5 and God of War III
Finally.
Im not sure of the exact legal ins and outs of this but maybe it has something to do with bluray being developed by a consortium that included Sony, and they may have to pay some kind of licensing fee to Sony to put BD into the 360?
That and it'd probably make the manufacturing costs of the 360 unaffordable at the current pricing.
Phew! I gotta say I was a doubter based on those shots, this has alleviated a lot of fears I had for this game.
all these shots are from early/demo builds of each game.
I'm pumped for this game... i love these kinda no holds barred over the top type games
possibly GOTY perhaps?
i've really gotta play mass effect 1 and 2. I keep hearing good things about the series, but I never took the plunge.
Man there are so many good games out this year...
Why are people talking about Xbox and Forza? The post has nothing to do with them.
I'm considering buy an xbox to play this game... but its alot for one game...
haha yeah that'd be cool, like having the Helghan Solider taunt, and say 'Die Vektan!' or something when he throws a grenade...
cool new maps coming too, awesome. Although i never get why new maps and stuff come out so much later after the game comes out... April is ages away
yeah kids couldn't afford PS3's up until November last year. I bet that has alot to do with it. I remember playing Killzone 2 and there was nobody under 20 playing who had a headset, and it was all just talk about tactics.
As a regular PSN user with a headset who's only briefly used Xbox LIVE....
PSN is likely to have as many juveniles saying offensive, albeit hilarious things as LIVE.
I was just playing MW2 and copped this from a British kid who couldn't have been more than 12 or 13-
"I'll f**k you and your dad both a the same time!"
Pure gold.
If it's been an issue then I haven't noticed it and either has anyone I know with a PS3.
It'll be a big outing for Rockstar this year with Red Dead: Redemption already billed for release. If LA Noire is getting a big reveal I'd expect it to release around November/December this year, and it seems like they might finally spill the details on Agent.
Mostly I'm looking forward to Agent and Red Dead: Redemption. I love the concepts of both these games- Cold War and Old West? Awesome. Two themes rarely touched on in games, and a refreshing departure from common game theme...

It's kinda pointless arguing those stuff but those environmental textures aren't that good at all.
