Excuse my childish ideas here for a second, but an evil grin just came across my face.
You know what would be cool, if you could like kick people in and smash up their apartments and stuff. Imagen that, you see some guy on there who was a camping noob in your last game of Vegas and you go up to him infront of all his mates and *SMACK* right in the face.
It would be cool if "HOME" had a virtual pub that people could go to and watch football matches and...
You have spoken the word mate. PS3 is doomed now because of this article and your excellent prediciments.
I don't think this article has anything FUD about it - however a negative Xbot who rushes in here looking for a fight will soon see it that way.
I read this article as if it was GOOD news for people WANTING PS3s and being reasured of strong supply. I didn't read this as some kind of negative press about the PS3 not selling - before it's even released.
Wow, there has been some drama unfolding in here hasn't it.
I just read through most of the comments, some made me almost cry with hysterics. GaMr's replies to theMART's comments were funny, and that asswipe got what he deserved.
As for those "sensible" people who keep going on "Gosh, it's only a videogames console, anyone would think you guys are getting paid to say this" should just hush, because we are gamers and we both xbots and Sony pe...
Positive comments and almost arsehole free.
After being glued to killzone from late 2004 to 2005 It's nice to see some large updates for a decent PS3 title. It sounds like a good update - not sure if it was needed but like the others say, insomniac are keeping their users happy.
I work in Comet and they have MAXED out our warehouse with over 50 PS3s and we took barely any PS3 pre-orders. They even have boxes of software, contollers, remotes, adapters.... the lot.
If it goes well on Friday - I will throw my hat at the floor and say this has been the finest launch since.....well there has never been a launch as well supplied and established as this.
They are over-supplying and it's excellent. Let's hope they do this at the Xmas Holidays....
I was at college when that game was launched and the rector let me keep this massive A-0 sized Halo2 poster - which was awesome.
....until I got home and it was like a canvas in my bedroom.
I had more fun with that poster than I did on Halo 2 to be honest.
On par with the topic, I think this is a little overdue, since most people are finished taking pre-orders. As a whole I think the whole Sony advertising campaign has been nothing short of inad...
You guys are just getting excited about the Boxes... wait till you get the console.
This is so very thoughtful of them.
You know something that makes me sad though. I'm one of the UK people that imported a US PS3 (I did this back in December) and I feel like I'm missing out the whole PS3 euro launch.
To everyone in the UK/Europe who hasn't got a PS3 but will be getting one on the 23rd. It's f*cking worth the wait and the queuing in the rain.... seriously this shiny black errrr... fridge door will blow ur world.
More specualations and editorials from non-gamer websites writing off a console that hasn't been out a year, and more respectively NOT GLOBALY released.
Why do we have to count the chickens just now. I just want to see what these statistics and pompous joulnalists have to say a couple months after the PS3 launches in europe.
Not me...I think most of us europeans will be spoiled at launch anyway, surely we can hang on for one month.
Hehehe Mart posted in here. Problem is with that guy, he lays his "line" his anti-ps3 "gag" and then sharply buggers off out of the thread leaving a warzone of arguing fanboys behind him. Don't bother replying to his nonsense, he won't read it - and even if he does, don't expect to get an intelligent reply.
Y'know mate. I did think about it. I also quit my job that I have just now and got another one just to refresh myself. You give some sage advice.
After all that deep thought, I still am settled on the conclusion that your nothing but a c*ck sucking asshole who has nothing better to say than to corrupt the decency of the articles and the postitive posters. In fairness you didn't mention the xbox in your post - instead it was a cynical attack on me.
Anyway, I'm a...
You are beyond even irrational stupidity. Someone in your limelight, then I can understand that you may think the Xbox360 is superior. Ok point taken, alot of individuals feel that way.
But to say the PS3 is inferior to the Wii.... I'm sorry, but no calculations or reasoning can even begin to untangle the ludicrous claim that you just made.
We shall start with: The Wii doesn't play DVDs. Then we shall move onto... It's not HD... next we will start on the games ...
I feel sorry for you having to play Crapdown.
I was stupid enough to buy that game, oh gees never make me make that mistake again.
So here's the usual story in here eh? Good news for Sony, Xbox fanatics come in here and try and spoil it? Do we do this in their section? F*cking assholes.
But the dirty geeks at M$ HQ are not corrupting me with their misinformation.
If people just stick to their guns and their PS3s and defend this site with your keyboards. Hopefully we should see off the Xbox Trolls, that continue to cause havok in the comments.
I'm intrested to see what will be typed by one of them after I post this.
He changed the code?
I think "Cliffy B" if correct though I never before thought the PS3 and Xbox360 would use a different programming code. That's very peculiar isn't it? Maybe if it was coded for the PS3, like ported games tend to be..... then it would work.
Sorry mate, in other words...what your saying is hollow it holds no relevance here. Why don't you go arrest yourself if your "The Bullshit Police"
Gears can't work on PS3? Yeah that's what he would like you to believe, I'm sure you are absolutely certain about that - you've seen the code and thought "Yep...that wouldn't work on PS3" Pull the other one you jackass.
f41c0n,
Your comment about the PS3 being inferior to the Xbox360 and Nintendo Wii is as rediculous as your decision to use "leet-speak" when typing your name. In what way is the PS3 inferior to either of these consoles? Pleas...
There seems to be a surge of anti-sony articles popping up all over the place - and there are plenty of idiots to go with them.
Yeah I agree with you two, it seems this guy is wound round the M$ finger and of course Xbox360fanboy.com would of been VERY selective with their facts over this. One question? Why is it always the Xbox crowd who have an axe to grind? Always digging deep in Sony issued snivveling around for something to redicule, it seems like the Xbox and it's entire...
So what?
You post an article that was fabricated by an idiot, submitted by an idiot and glorified by idiots - well done, you've done what N4G does best.
What's the matter guys? Digging deep for anti Sony Propaganda because the PS3 EURO launch is days away? You guys would make theMART proud.
Sorry but your only tarnishing your own reputation on here rather than Sony's.
I just never see (even in the xbox360) part, any of you guys e...
Losing DMC has in NO WAY affected my enjoyable experience with the PS3, nor has it really affected my xbox360 in anyway - mainly because I'm not a fan of DMC. What I DO have a hump about is that now we WILL never ever hear the end of it.
Your all acting like a bunch of horny bastards about former-exclusive PS titles and that's a good thing. It shows that deep down you all love playstation titles and just because your mommy didn't buy you a PS3 or your too much of cheap piss-ta...
That was a pretty brutal attack on CONSOLEWAR even by my own (sometimes horrific) standards.
Well done though, he is a thoughtless asshole. Your also right about us reacting to it and making it worse. As soon as I saw his avatar I just clicked on ignore and he was added to the (sadly) growing block list of unpleasant members on this site. So I'm not sure what he's said since.
I can't download this update :( It work let me - I shouldn't have imported.
