ummm BrianB is actually correct - at the UK launch for the PS3 they gave away 100 46" Bravias with PS3 purchases.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/t...

also, Sony have given away ~150k PS3s in australia with purchases of Bravia TVs. theyve done the promotion 4, maybe 5 times already. matter of fact theyre doing it right now: 5692d ago 3 agree2 disagreeView comment

of course it doesnt.

but it does mean that its very simple for you to never actually have to put up with it, which kinda makes it (the abuse etc) a non-issue.

i cant understand why people still complain about all the swearing/complaining/flaming that goes on in online play.....do people not know how to mute other players? being in a party helps too, but that only applies to 360 players obviously.

i havent heard anyone being racist/sexist/offensive in months, because i just mute them all and/or am in a party with my friends.

wait, are you telling me that when you play Uncharted 2/Killzone 2/Resistance 2 that they DONT have 16xMSAA, character models with individual pores in their skin, individual strands of hair all animated separately, and super duper high res textures without any sort of LOD model for stuff in the distance?

i get the same, because Sony are notorious for releasing bullshots as 'in-game screenshots'. have been doing it since the very first playstation was released, and wi...

"Unlike most games, God of War 3 uses the in game engine to render each pixel in the cutscenes and there is not a second of pre rendered or recorded footage in the game. Truly remarkable and a fine display of the Blu-Ray’s disc’s prowess."

incorrect. i really wish people would do their research before writing articles like this.

so uncharted 2 deserves to be game of the year 2010 when it came out in 2009?

epic lols.

Do a bit of reading on "unsprung weight" and then tell me that you won't notice a difference when you change wheels.

Despite what you kids who've never actually driven a performance car on a race track think, the smallest things like changing the camber of your wheels by 1 degree can significantly change your lap times. So imagine what reducing your overall unsprung weight by 40+kg can do!!!!

One thing I find amusing is people on here tal...

Lol at some of you.

1. They've already written 90% of the review - they're just holding off publishing it until they can add in the multiplayer review.

2. Ign switched to increments of 0.5 for their reviews ages ago. That means they can't give it 9.8, or 9.4, or 6.7 out of 10. So even if it gets 9.5/10 (which I think they'll give it so they don't get fanboy raged) that doesn't mean it's 0.1 better than forza 3, because they'r...

It's hilarious that last year when uncharted 2 won game of the year at the vgas, all the Sony fanboys carried on like it had win the Nobel piece prize, but now all of a sudden they're not worth the paper they're written on lol.

The fanboys never cease to amaze.

I've been playing consoles since the atari 2600 - how much longer than that have you been playing console games for?

Kinect is a new way to play. There has never been 3D full body motion control for a console. Never. Eyetoy is the same as kinect in the way that Mario on the SNES is the same as Mario 64 - same basic thing, but one is 2d and one is 3d.

Move has more uses with regular games - no disagrees from me. But like I said, I don't want to play r...

Kinect wins for me for 1 reason:

when buying an add-on, i want to play games with that add-on that CANNOT be played without the add-on. no kinect games could be played with a standard controller, theyre all made with your whole body as a controller in mind. pretty much every single Move game could be played with the standard controller, but instead youre using a much less precise form of input.

why would ANYONE want to play Killzone 3 with the Move instead o...

im a huge God of War fan, but even i dont think God of War 3 deserves to be awarded game of the year. in fact, if i was going to give a god of war game the 'game of the year', it would go to Ghost of Sparta. IMO its a better game than GOW3.

my game of the year is still Alan Wake, although Rock Band 3 comes very close the more i play it, and NBA Jam is going to be right up there.

Kinect got released in Australia yesterday, and while i didnt pick it up cause im waiting for the xmas deals of 360s + Kinect, my brother did. i went over his house after work and i must say, i am very very surprised by just how much fun it is, and more importantly how well it actually works.

he got sonic riders for free, and ill get that out of the way first - it doesnt work very well at all, and its not really a good game. but dont take that as meaning that Kinect doesnt wo...

Nintendo passed on having Sonys CD add-on - which would effectively become the playstation.....tell me they werent envious for the next decade lol.

Sony might have passed on the 3DV cam, but that doesnt mean they wouldnt be envious of Microsofts obvious success with Kinect.

what i find funny is that you say:

"every multiplayer game you start with a dmr which i hate alot"

i find it funny because its 100% incorrect, and had you even played the game online you would know this lol. i love when fanboys blatantly mess up when trying to pretend theyve played a game and just didnt like it.

fair enough question, but not a very well thought out one.

while im in first person view, what do i see? the other cars! so while im racing in first person view, i have to see upscaled PS2 car models.

and then there are replays, and my garage, etc. and when im just mucking around playing regular races (not career) ill give the chase cam a go so i can see the car models. do it all the time in forza and shift, so ill do the same in GT.

ryuzu: "To put it another way - I bought a 360 for PGR and enjoyed it greatly. PGR 2 I didn't even purchase because I didn't feel it went in a direction I wanted. "

thats interesting, since PGR and PGR2 arent on the 360, theyre on the original Xbox......

"Compared to Forza's shallow season play mode. "

and that right there shows youve never even played Forza 3s single player career mode.

Forza 3s career mode is completely dynamic - if you just keep driving RWD cars, itll throw you up lots of RWD events. if youre driving high powered AWDs it will toss you up more AWD/high powered events. there are 300+ events overall, and even after you finish your 6th season you wont have finished them all - and...

Bet theyre wishing they didnt sell out to Activision now. theyd be making PGR5 right now if they hadve stayed independent.

its a shame, as they were a talented bunch of developers.

its not practical, but its necessary to keep the quality up.

the 'standard' cars dont feature separate body panels - the lines you see in between panels are simply black lines on the cars texture.

the standard cars dont feature 3d modelled door handles/headlights/taillight. they are all just part of the textures.

the standard cars dont have interiors, and as such no interior view - and when you play these games the way theyre suppose...
