Someone has to buy them new or their wouldn't be any on ebay, would there?
If your favorite game doesn't sell well, do you think the developers will make a sequel?
And if games in general don't sell well on your console, do you think developers are going to want to bother making games for it?
Probably not. Is that really so hard to figure out?
$1,700 for the system? That's quite a lot, although it did have a "specialized hard drive."
$1,000,000 for damages? What damages?
That was actually a nice video to watch. I've already seen the trailer but they actually had some good annotations.
Actually they said most of the freezes were caused by the host of a game being a Saboteur and performing certain actions. They said it would be fixed in the next patch, so here's hoping...
The killcam usually doesn't even look right anyway.
What does this have to do with gaming?
Sony knows they need to bring prices down, but they have come down from $600 to $400 in two years. That's quite a chunk, considering the system cost $840 to make at launch.
Are you sure you're using a PS3?!? O.o
That's probably the cache. No sense in leaving so much RAM unused, so the OS tries to cache what it thinks you will use next.
A music store would be a necessity. It would be nice to give PS3/PSP users access as well.
This would be a legitimate test if they had tested it on a PC that actually met the minimum specs. 512MB != 1024MB.
Exactly what I was thinking. Running ANYTHING on 1/2 the recommended RAM is going to be practically unusable. Swap thrashing, anyone?
NTFS is owned by Microsoft also, but there are so many other options out there like ext2, ext3, ext4...
You would think we would have gotten away from FAT32 by now anyway, with the 2GB limit.
Just backup your data in the first place! That's what everyone should already be doing anyway. If something is important to you and you know there is a very real and likely risk that eventually it will be lost forever, don't you think you should back it up?
That's correct. The only thing is that the read/write speed between the Cell and the GDDR3 is very slow compared to the read/write speed between the RSX and the XDR. But I can't fathom a reason why you would want to do that anyway unless you didn't need much graphics memory but needed a lot of main memory.
Any good PC will have split memory as well. Only budget PCs from Wal-Mart use shared memory because you get much better performance from dedicated video memory.
Is this guy in a time machine or something???
Wow! I'm ashamed to say I didn't know that. I don't think anyone in their right mind would encourage such a thing, however.
Kinda hard to say that when the game hasn't been released yet. We don't know if Cage will be on par with Criterion.
The difference is StreamMyGame doesn't go out to the web, it stays in your LAN. That means <5ms latency and speeds of 100-1000mbps.
Once you go out to the web, you at least double the latency and speed drops to usually no more than 30mbps except for the best of the best connections.
