I don't care whether they released it to remind folks of the value of the PS3 or just to one up MS. In any case the PS3 has arguably been the best tech purchase I have made in that past 2 years with my Dell Mini 9 running Ubuntu coming very close. The amount of features and the quality are excellent not to mention the cell processor which is a fun and refreshing change to code for.

Reminds me of an article about Home not too long ago. Only the author suggested that their are pedos on Home and no one was arrested and sent to prison. I guess XBox Live is the place to be for the heiny pokin kiddy touchers after all. See what I did there? Fact is these perverts exists on every large network and no one is immune. All you can do is teach and supervise your children to keep them as safe as possible from these freaks.

That's right NEWS for gamers. Not opinionated blogs with incorrect statements and poor fact checking for gamers. Now please stop trying to justify this utter piece of garbage blog. kthxbye

Sony stock didn't drop dramatically and is still at 22.00 or so after the after hours trading. It should open today at 22.00 and close at about 22.35 or so once all the dust settles so it will go up. What is hurting Sony as well as other Japanese exporters is the Yen. The exchange rate needs to level off and get back to about $1 USD to 100 - 105 JPY before things get better, profitability wise.

that 14/15 year olds would rather see a tittier story line not a grittier one. Could help myself... was WAY too easy. ;)

If Lara were in a topless scene on a next gen system it would sell like wildfire. Why? Well do the math... 14/15 year old boy + topless Lara Croft = $ALE$

Keep the comedy pieces coming please! I could always use a good laugh on a Monday afternoon at work! These opinion pieces and blogs are getting really old and I am surprised that the Mods continue to allow this crap to be submitted as news. Well I guess it's just another day at N4G.

Yes I said FEAR. XBox fanboys are afraid and are already beginning the smear/hate campaign. They started the whole metacritic bomb fiasco and are now resorting to FAKING magazine reviews. The only thing this solidifies in the minds of everyone else is how pathetic XBox fanboys can become when the tides have turned in favor of the PS3. They have nothing left in their arsenal. FUD didn't work, bashing didn't work, Microsoft's own mouthpieces, Greenberg and Bach, didn't work. This is the l...

First came the metacritic bombs. Now a completely fake as in "Three dollar bill" fake review submission? This is just pathetic and what's worse there are approvals. Please someone (MOD) do the right thing and ban the submitter at a minimum.

"I would think that Microsoft would at a minimum recall as much non-jasper stock, assuming the Jasper is the end all of RRoD issues, and immediately ship out Jasper units to replace them."

Reading is your friend, m'kay?

Would be a lot easier if people knew what they were buying. Why would someone spend at a minimum $200 up to $400 on a non-jasper system if they knew that a RRoD would be more likely on it? I would think that Microsoft would at a minimum recall as much non-jasper stock, assuming the Jasper is the end all of RRoD issues, and immediately ship out Jasper units to replace them. That would instill confidence, otherwise it is no different than playing Russian Roulette with your hard earned cash. ...

Watched the video and there is some very compelling evidence in it. The parts where the units were on a steel level table on shock absorbing pads on a concrete floor as a control was the kicker for me. The XBox 360 still scratched discs in a control environment. The test in the "living room" situation without the shock proof floor, etc... showing the scratching was even more of a wow factor. The fact that MS is trying to double talk their way out of the test results is also a bu...

Nice images. Now if they can only get the game out before the end of the decade it would be great!

Well Wine, Cedega and CrossOver have no problem with Steam. As a matter of fact there is a Linux native version of the Steam client in the works as well. Half Life 2, CS:S, etc.. all play fine. iTunes meh.. Amarok 2.0 will be your new best friend. Zune no problem hook it up and play the music through whatever player you want including Amarok. Stream netflix again no problem, their are many programs and services out their that do just that for Linux. Internet Explorer? WHY!? You should...

SE is marketing the hell out of FF XIII especially seeing how well Dissidia was received in Japan. Of all their products released Dissidia was the hottest title they had in a while. With Star Ocean coming and the cold to luke warm reception their other 360 RPGs received I can see why they are on FF overload. It's not to say that Star Ocean will be bad but they aren't counting on it as much as their FF series of games.

"Think Lord of the Rings meets Oblivion."

So now instead of seeing things from the perspective of someone 5.5 - 6 feet tall in first person we are gonna see it from 3 feet tall?

DC Universe looks excellent as does The Agency but the one I am looking most forward to is Free Realms. It is an MMO that my whole family can play and enjoy which is why it is that much more appealing to me ATM. Although of the others coming it is going to be interesting to see which one I prefer. I like superheros but I also dig the whole concept of The Agency as well.

Not so much WoW that is killing off AoC but AoC that's doing it to itself. There were a lot of problems on the PvP servers where people would constantly camp your ass and kill you ad nauseum to make you join their guild/clan. This resulted in a lot of players dropping AoC and going to Warhammer Online, LOTR:O or back to WoW. In any case they did it to themselves. They should have used the same formula they used for Anarchy Online when making AoC. Instead they tried something radically di...
