The idea of it is much better than the reality of it. If we're letting our imaginations run wild then I can imagine a VR type game where I execute actions with my body and interact with a virtual environment, but those experiences are few and specific, requiring a unique setup (a whole room, really) for each style of game. Definitely nothing that could ever be done in front of a stationary window of perspective (TV), where I'm confined to one spot. There is nothing immersive about ...
You ever see what that Kratos wears when he goes out to fight?
I rented COD4 from Gamefly, liked it, bought it. Didn't play WAW, rented and quickly returned MW2, and ignored Black Ops altogether.
Believe me, I won't be buying the next COD game.
Yeah, being a paid service I'd imagine freebies would be expected if this happened to XBL, and rightly so. It sounds like Sony will be taking care of PS+ subscribers though, maybe even more than +.
Well said though, nice to see a person who isn't a PS3 user who is also capable of viewing the situation through rational eyes. The truth is, as you said, internet security is something that people need to be aware of on a more personal level. Hackers will only become m...
The outrage is mostly sensationalist news sites, Sony haters, and people who are working on rumors rather than actual info. Also people who have little-to-no knowledge about internet security and how far from being an isolated incident this is. If this happened on XBL people wouldn't switch either, as they shouldn't. Most rationally-thinking individuals realize that hackers break in anywhere they want when determined, this has happened before and will continue to happen for a long ...
It wasn't released, it was stolen. And that's not even a certainty yet. They weren't having a credit-card-number giveaway on some corner...
I'd be a nice gift to finally deliver one of THE most requested features for the PSN. It would seem odd if it came as soon as the network came up, as if they had it ready for a while and were withholding it for some reason... But it would make a lot of people happy.
Having said that, I personally don't care about the feature at all. I don't even like to use my microphone INSIDE the games I'm playing online (whether with friends or strangers) most of the tim...
Because politicians and sensationalist news sources target the same things. Hot topics that the public has little actual info about, so that they can act bold and concerned about the stance they take in front of a lot of people without having to do much reading. Usually an obvious and easy stance, which usually makes them look like they care, and then makes them look stupid when the people they accuse wind up not being aggressively malicious as they were suggesting... But it doesn't mat...
Nothing is to stop it from happening again anywhere, and it has nothing to do with incompetence. When the right hacker(s) wants to get in bad enough, he will. All one can do is make it tougher and tougher. When that new system gets broken, then even tougher measures will be developed. This is the nature of internet security. It's in a perpetual state of hackers poking holes and people rushing to patch the holes up.
Wow, with the exception of PS+ discount or free trial these are awful suggestions.
More Robust XMB
If my XMB ever looked like the 360 dashboard I'd probably set my PS3 on fire and then throw it off a roof for good measure. Part of the beauty of the XMB is the simplicity of it. I don't want miscellaneous shit thrown all over my screen, and I like to see the wallpapers I use. I make my XMB pretty, not Sony. They give me the flexibility. Also people don't...
LastPass my friend. Download it. I had to do it after Gawker media left all out info sitting out there for the taking. It will generate strong and unique passwords for each site and store them remotely. You can access the PWs pretty much anywhere, you just need to remember your lastpass login and PW. There is even an Android app for it.
If this is authentic, those are 14 of the most frightened teenagers in the world right now.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that those two should cover all bases. Plus the size of them combined wouldn't be as threatening as a single tablet. Seems like a cool tablet, but no portable console killer, not by any means.
Eew, a tablet instead of NGP? That's no way to play video games...
Hackers.
One might say Sony should have better security, and it might be true, but when it comes to internet security, all security is good until someone manages to successfully penetrate it. How do you think virus databases are built, preemptively? Of course not. First comes the attack, then the measures to prevent it in the future. In the case of something like console firmware hackers play catch-up, but when it comes to internet security everyone else in the world has...
Or maybe HE is one of the hackers, using this to cover his tracks! I knew it was Pachter all along. In the study, with the candlestick.
Or 4. It actually gives them a headache. Did it occur to you that the world isn't conspiring to push the same lie, and maybe, just maybe, people are effected differently by the 3D effect. I don't want to suggest anything too wildly radical... Maybe the 2 minutes those 25 people you showed weren't enough to cause any eyestrain in any of those people who might experience it with prolonged use?
Woah woah, I'm talking crazy now. Sorry.
"And mario hasnt been beaten to death. They are consitently the highest rated games of the gen"
Being beaten to death has nothing to do with being good. I already said they are always good games, calm your fucking nerve. The fact that you can even make that comment means that he's seen the light of day several times this console gen. That doesn't necessarily constitute "beaten to death" on its own, not with the likes of Assassin's Creed and ...
I make anime music videos, if anyone is interested in writing an article on my opinion of why this happened shoot me a line.
If he bought one under the impression it would be supported, I think he has a right to bitch about it not having games. MS has no problem bragging about the number of units it sold, so there is nothing wrong with an expectant consumer who gave them something to brag about looking for justification for his purchase.
