I believe the issues are less about licensing and more about language. But if PS3 owners across Europe are happy to play new titles in English rather than wait for, say, an Italian version, why not allow us to buy titles from any store.
After all, we can buy retail games and import them from the US and play them without any issues at all.
PayPal, pre-paid cards - all good ideas. How about just simply consolidating all the worldwide stores into one, and then clear...
There are three modes to LBP - Create, Play, Share.
From what we've seen some of the objects you place down on the level when you are in 'create' mode are collectables.
So you can create levels (and adjust them or customise them on the fly when playng) for a unique platform game experience and then share these levels with the world so others can download your level, play it and rate it. The best rated or downloaded levels will appear on leaderboards.
A newspaper that requires a reading age of an 11 year old publishing a piece about illiteracy! Fantastic.
Personally I blame the parents for not providing their children with a balanced choice of entertainment (books included) and schools for not moving with the times and explaining the difference between English and TXT language. IMHO.
R&C was one of November's PS3 Attitude Big Three titles, and UT III isn't out in the UK and Europe in December...
As you can see, UTIII isn't out in the UK and Europe in December... and PS3 Attitude focuses on UK and European release dates...
The issues have been blown out of proportion...
Uncharted and R&C are the 'must-have', but see the article for a full list of other great games...
As you can read in the article, Uncharted is our number 1 pick for December in the UK and Europe (already out in the US of course)...
PS3 Attitude is all about UK and European PS3 news.
UT III is out in the US in December, but not in Europe until 2008, so it can't be included in December's Big Three...
Whilst you wait for the patch, signing out of the PSN before playing seems to provide stability. Have played for hours when signed out with no issues...
...is one of the best games on any platform right now and since it doesn't have a single player mode, it's CLEARLY much shorter than CoD4! :-)
My point?
CoD4 doesn't need any kind of single player experience really, just like Warhawk. I expect they only included it as a fallback for those people who still don't have internet access. Which can't be many.
CoD4 won't suffer from having a short single player mode. Warhawk is proof of that.
...only applies the first time through. Hell Mode is a whole different kettle of fish altogether.
Ditto @1.2 - short but most sweet.
...after all, what the heck could little ol' me do about Konami's development choices?
I'm just saying that this isn't really that big a deal for most people and, in that respect, I'm right.
No fanboyism involved. If the game was crap on the PS3, I'd say so. It's not crap, but how good it is has nothing to do with the resolution it is rendered at, since I would not notice the difference on my 37" TV.
1080p - as anyone who knows about these thi...
Even if it is 1080p on the 360, and 720p on the PS3, most people don't have a screen 50 inches or larger so they wouldn't notice any difference.
And most people don't have a 360 that actually supports 1080p anyway.
So a scoop for the minority, and a non-story for the masses.
There is no converter to make old GH PS2 guitars work on the PS3.
If someone were to manufacturer one, it would have to have the PS button on it somewhere. And apparently there's a big button mapping issue that makes it impossible anyway - I remember Red Octane themselves said it was totally un-doable.
Hence why I took mine back very early on (March in fact) to maximise my pre-owned return revenue! By the time everyone else starts putting their old guitars in, no...
I like much of what they do, but they're still getting used to the whole idea of 'opening up'. They used to keep everything secret and make as much as they can proprietry.
For example - memory sticks. When the PS3 came out, they stuck a CF and SD card slot in it. 5 years ago, they never would have opened up to doing such a thing.
Another example - dropping ATRAC on their latest Walkman. Embracing MP3 and dropping ATRAC wouldn't have been an option years ago.

Never had that happen, not once. You may be confusing something that happened to 10 people once with something that doesn't happen to most of the other 4+ million users.
There's a chance, of course, that this story is true but it says that it is not substantiated. In the comments of the story, plenty of people are saying they haven't seen the issue.
This is a non-story so far, but the people who like to knock 'the other' console down will undoubtedly have a field...
...with the sentiment, you're a bit off base.
R&C is as child-oriented as Spongebob, Rocco's Modern Life etc. - i.e. really designed for adults but just happens to be in cartoon form.
The humour in the entire R&C series is targetted more at 20-30 year-olds than tweens or teens.
The reason the magazine gave them a bad review is probably more to do with reviewer bias and advertising revenues. In the end, they just made themselves look foolish...
Fact is, there's a load of great games coming out for all platforms right now.
As far as PS3 exclusive games go, R&C is just perfection. But whether you speak of multi-platform titles or PS3/X360/Wii exclusives, the simple truth is that it's a great time to be a videogame fan.
There's an awful lot of unadvised tripe written here by over-zealous fantards who really ought to take a look at the bigger picture.
The games industry will outsell the m...
