The slow, methodical destruction of the English language is a larger problem than hype. As the author of this article so clearly demonstrates (to anyone that graduated high-school) anyone can write an article on the internet, regardless of qualifications.
I based my translation on just the Famitsu heading, and that is all that's on the cover. And I did my translation myself, but my Japanese isn't perfect and I often take things out of context or mix-up a kanji or 2.
Maybe the article should be about how bad Google Translate sucks. The sentence in question translates to something like: Does this make sense [to you]? There are no 'curse' words on the whole page.
One tip I was surprised wasn't mentioned is that you can share your PSN purchases with your friends. You can buy something on the PSN and using your account you can give it to up to 5 (IIRC) friends. Using you own console you can also upload PSOne games to up to 5 different PSP's (again, IIRC).
Further, you can access you PS3's media or even PSOne games with your PSP from any wifi spot.
Gaming is almost ignored as a pass-time by both politicians and the media on the northern side of the border. I was just about floored when I saw this article. I know it doesn't bring any new information, just the fact that CTV made a story about is astonishing.
The article specifically addressed this issue as to why people care about split-screen as well as online. Have you never had a friend over to play a game with you? It is completely ridiculous to not include some kind of offline multi-player component. I play most of my games single player or online, but I know I want an offline multiplayer component for when I have friends over or when my wife actually wants to play.
ROFL. I honestly didn't know they published reviews. I thought they were a sort of industry satire site, instead of an actual news site. Now that I've read a few things of theirs it really seems like they're not actually trying to be satirical, just idiotically cynical and not funny.
They should really get a new editor or something so that their site can be actual satire, instead of just completely condescending and thinking they're funny with their 'holier-than-thou' attitude...
I really wonder if that includes XBLA games. If the average XB360 owner has 3 or more XBLA games that attach rate doesn't sound so spectacular anymore.
I would appreciate knowing what the breakdown of the attach rate is: bargain bin games, free games, XBLA games, New Releases, etc.
No seriously, I realize the PR guy is supposed to make any news seem like good news, but you know what? Sometimes I just want people to tell it like it is. I'm not fooled when you talk about things no one cares about or didn't matter in the data you're responding to. Do you honestly think the gamers or the developers reading this are idiots?
Seriously, tell people your game-plan to succeed instead of trying to sound like coming in 'fourth' is as good as winning the 'gold'.
Do they not know that probably 75%+ of kids in America DO NOT LIVE ON THE WEST COAST? I live on the West Coast, and have never been to the Atlantic Ocean. Should I blame that on Video Games? Or maybe I should blame Video Games because I haven't been able to Tour Europe yet, I'm sure 99% of American Kids haven't done that and that's Video Games fault also!
While we're at it, let's blame poverty, aids and the Tibetan Crackdown and fighting in Darfur on Video Games also...
What about Metal Gear Solid 3? That was about "Naked Snake" and had little to do with Solid Snake besides heredity.
5 Could be about anything, heck it could be about Ocelot or Raiden, or a remake of the original Metal Gear games.
They may just call it Metal Gear Solid 5 so people understand it's in the same universe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the 'correct' Translation:
New work is being started by Kojima Productions, maker of the Metal Gear Solid series

It's not about eyebrow movement, it's about alpha waves...
While the PS3center.net article is fake, the actual part about Famitsu running a story on FF VII is not.
The front page of the next Famitsu has the title:
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete on the front page.
フィナルファンタジ VII アドベントチルドレン
As coincidental as it is to April Fool's day, the Famitsu article is real. It just doesn't mean remake.
This article shows the next cover and it says in Japanese:
Final Fantasy VII:
Advent Children Complete
Final Fantasy XIII
You could say something like:
"Now that is a weird combination, and I don't think it'll last until Christmas"
The problem is that your post sounds angry.
To me this store has the potential of "apple pie and ice cream" in the technology world.
But like Sleipner pointed out, not everyone likes apple pie and ice cream.
The site wasn't down. The user info pages were being reported as attack sites. The problem has been fixed.
I was thinking it might be a foreshadowing of an On-Demand Video feature system for the PS3 and other Sony products. It could be interesting.
Comcast is a US cable TV operator. They offer internet, cable and phone services.
