The fact that this trash appeared on a REAL news site has me amazed. To think that CNN, whom I don't care for, published such an opinionated piece with absolutely NOTHING to back it up except for the initial NPD numbers for November is astonishing. The rest of the article is nothing but opinion and a biased one at that. It disgusts me to see any reputable media outlet let something like this make it to the public. I used to THINK the media was only biased when it came to politics but now ...
It is another Blu-Ray is dead/dying article in disguise!
To last week. LBP sold over the million mark a week ago. VGChartz is notorious for reporting low numbers until the publisher reports real numbers. Motorstorm 2 has sold over a million, R2 will be over a million by years end and LBP is at 1 mil+ and all three titles are still selling strongly every week. This is what makes me laugh about the XBots. Yes Gears 2 and Fable 2 sold about 4.5 mil - 5 mil combined yet all three of these exclusives have sold approx. 3 mil to 3.5 mil combined and ...
Why is it that not one of the Home bashing articles/blogs gets reported like this one? Ooooh I know.. because this is a POSITIVE article about Home! To call it a review is fair even though it isn't scored. He reported what he saw and his experiences in the application even though it is in a Beta phase. I just find it amazing the lengths people go through to squash the positive Sony articles on this site yet approve blogs and opinion pieces that are anti-Sony. Grow up.
Look at all the phantom disagrees! Must be the XBots feeling bad because they will be HOMEless for the holidays. Now go play with your Nintendo Wii and your Mii....erm sorry. Your XBox 360 and your "avatars that look a lot like Miis" and your 3D menu system! WOOO HOOOO!!! OOOOOH AAAAAHHH OOOOHHHH... not.
Granted the initial wait was a bit time consuming due to timeouts from the high demand. Once Sony gets more info on how to shape traffic and reinforces the nodes in the heavier regions things should be just fine. What I can say is that I spent 4 hours in Home and loved it. I haven't even gotten to the FarCry 2 area yet. Also, once I was in it was stable and fast. Remember this is NOTHING like XBL/NXE with simple 3D menuing and simplistic avatars. It is also an open BETA which means Sony...
Aaron Greenberg is doing damage control. First with his outright bashing of the PS3 to his latest "Home is 2005 technology" statement. Microsoft and Greenberg realize that Home is the next progression in online gaming communities. No longer is it just a friends list to play games with. It is a vibrant community with the ability to expand and offer things in a virtual world that just cannot be done on XBox Live or with the NXE. As much as he tries to downplay Home the fact is it...
Other than some timing out initially once I was in it was solid as a rock and damned fast and responsive. I was in for 4 hours and still didn't even hit the FarCry 2 area yet. It is really an amazing application. I can't wait for the additional areas and items and rumored trophy rewards, etc... Home is in a word "cool".
is a GOOD thing! Means folks want in to see what it's about. Also means some more work on traffic shaping and beefing up the backend to handle the demand. In any case excellent job Sony for getting it out!
is just plain freaky. He sounds demented and in need of some serious psychotropic drugs. This video will induce nightmares in the weak.
This article is just plain fail.
"However, the PS3 having the same feature is illogical, impractical, and almost impossible " Using the size of the games as a reason why.
Let's me start by syaing it has had this feature from DAY ONE. There are plenty of full games downloadable and they work just fine. Ooh and one last thing. How can this make more sense for the 360 than the PS3 seeing that ALL PS3s have hard drives and the drives are user replaceable wi...
Although I am no fan of Obama I am definately no fan of Bush either.
Based on the trend showing from same quarter 2007 to 2008 they should sell approx. 9 - 9.5 million more units by the end of their fiscal year. Lowballing it at 9 mil would give the PS3 an installed base of 25.84 million units by the end of March 2009. Not too damned shabby at all.
LOL! Bubble for making me laugh so hard I snorted!
Notice I said IF. The site requies you to verify your age electronically and the child LIED to get in than Sony is free and clear of any responsibilities. Digital age verification and digital signatures were put in place for that reason. Yes it is a law and there is also legal precedent. Now if there is no age verification system in place well then Sony has to eat this one.
Thank God the magazine is titled "Time" and not "Math" otherwise we would be in some REAL trouble.
Microsoft looks like they have technology envy AGAIN. Be prepared for the inevitable MS Homealike. Just like the iPodalike, OS Xalike, PS2alike and iPhonealike (rumored zune phone). Hey wait what else can they claim sucks and then copy? He is right when he said there is a huge gap between Home and NXE. Home is an application far superior to damned near anything on the XBox 360 let alone NXE. Greenberg = butt nugget.
Agrees. Fable 2 should NOT have been chosen as GoTY.
I couldn't have said that better myself.
I just figured out why your nic is iMad. Your parents could only afford to get you a XBox 360 and all your friends got PS3s and they made fun of you. So now your only outlet for your anger is an internet site so you can tell the world "iMad that my mommy and daddy didn't get me the better toy!". Troll.
