so many people in here completely misinterpreting the article lol.
its NOT an HD texture pack. all this does is let you install the REGULAR textures to the HDD so its not reading from the disk as much. no performance gain, no better graphics, no "superior on PS3 confirmed".
itll look exactly the same with and without the install.
i cant help but laugh at how fixated on theoretical specs and graphics the N4G crowd is. all i can say is thank god that the general public in no way reflects N4Gs intelligence or opinions.
the wii was an enormous step behind the PS3/360 in both theoretical peak power, graphical output, and feature lists. it has some of the best games of the generation and absolutely destroyed both the PS3 and 360 in sales. the Vita wipes the floor with the 3DS in terms of specs and graphics ...
The ps3 slim released in 2009 though, so if there was a trend it broke it 3 years ago.
the only persons opinion that i care about in regards to controllers is my own, so ill wait til ive got the pro controller in my hand before passing judgement.
it LOOKS like it should be the best controller ever made for a game console as it gets nearly everything perfect ergonomically.
triggers? check.
main inputs, the analogues, in the default thumb positions? check.
ergonomic shape of controller? check.
awesome best-in-the-business ...
by "support" they basically just mean "we'll keep making the hardware as long as people are buying it".
how many first party games did sony release on the PS2 after the PS3s release? God of War 2 and ....... think thats about it.
theyd be stupid not to keep making PS3s, as itll keep selling as the price drops. but if they dont throw their full development support straight behind the PS4 we'll just get the PS3s first 2 years all ov...
is smartglass really being limited though?
its a free app for any android/ios/windows phone smartphone or tablet. id bet that a very high percentage of 360 owners own at least a smartphone running one of those operating systems, and a lot would own a tablet.
on the topic, id believe that the majority of PSV owners own a PS3 purely because its mainly being marketed as an add-on device for the PS3. ie. buy a ps3 game get vita free. buy this on PS3 play it via ...
Did no one read the article? Gangnam style is NOT in dance central 3.
"You thought I was writing this to tell you that Psy’s Korean hit Gangnam Style was going to be added to the song list for Dance Central 3? Sorry to disappoint. Although, we did make an effort to reach Harmonix’ PR person for comment and will share that with you as soon as we get it."
Pointless article just looking for hits through misleading title.
You're forgetting one very big thing - the original slim came with a massive price drop. Here in australia they dropped like $200 with the release of the slim
This slim one? Price increase.
It was also 2009 back then, when the ps3 had sold around the 30 million mark, and many people were just waiting for a price drop before buying. It's 2012 now, nearly 2013, and 35 million sales later there aren't hundreds of thousands of people still waiting for...
From the article: "I mean, Sony could have at least added in PS1/2 backwards compatibility"
Every ps3 already has ps1 backwards compatibility.
but Sony won TGS so thats all that matters, right guys?
sony "won" gamescom even though microsoft and nintendo didnt bother showing, so sony won TGS too! man, sony are on FIRE with games show wins!
overall, as a launch PS3 owner(and now slim thanks to YLOD) and new Vita owner, TGS gave me nothing of interest. the few new PSV games they showed are all japanese centric games that looked like every other japanese game i dont care about, and the new PS3...
In game looks near on identical. Pre rendered cutscenes look better on the ps3 as they're better or less compressed.
"If that VGChartz report is to be believed"
which its not, cause its VGChartz.
here in australia we get the 12gb model for $299 or the 500gb model for $399. do sony not want people to buy a PS3?
correct me if im wrong because i dont live in America so im not 100% sure about USA prices, but with those prices, there isnt a price drop.....theres actually a price RISE?!
@tentonsoftube: "highest rated game of ALL TIME. "
uncharted 2? please, dont make me laugh. its not even the highest rated game this generation on metacritic, let alone all time.
take a look at this to see many games from previous generations on equal score and MANY higher:

its also not the highest scoring exclusive - tha...
"All 3 did good in the eyes of the share holders"
not really.
the 360 had the RROD which would not have looked good to shareholders. since then though its picked up tremendously well and has sold almost 300% of the previous consoles sales. has been making a profit for years. did well for shareholders.
the wii, well it profited from day 1 and made nintendo an absolute boatload of money. definitely did well for shareholders.
...
bit of a stupid article really. gee, a game in a series feeling like the previous games in the series, whoever wouldve guessed?!
Judgement has MORE than enough changes to it, more than a large percentage of sequels do. its added classes to the gameplay, each class having different skills - nothing like that has been in gears of war before. its added a new mode which basically combined Horde and Beast modes, and lets players play on opposite teams. then theres the fact that it...
oh goody, more rehashes of a 15 year old PS1 game.
just let wipeout die for at least a few years. its barely changed or improved in 15 years.
"Number One, Metal Gear Solid 4
This game is by far one of the absolute best looking games to release this generation."
no. just no. i stopped reading after this. there are many PS3 exclusives that look better than this, let alone multiplatform or 360 exclusives too.
like some others have said, i want 2 things from remote play:
1. i want it to work without any noticeable lag when im on the same network as the PS3. atm there is noticable lag on both my PSP and PSV using remote play.
2. i want remote play to control the PS3 100% as if i was using the PS3. if it can stream 1 thing, why cant it stream another? quite dumb.
and for those screaming "you dont have a Vita", yes, i do now. went over to th...
giving people these "free" games to download is a backhanded way of making sure people have to shell out for their ridiculously overpriced proprietary memory cards. "here, download all these free games! whats that, you dont have enough room on your device that has no internal storage? thats unfortunate. good thing we sell very expensive memory cards though!"
going by the comments in here, many people are going for it too.
i still wont be s...
