I heard a few weeks ago that a 120GB PS3 would hit Europe mid 2008. Dunno if it's true but sure sounds good.
Developers shouldn't have to delay a game because of capacity issues. When the developers get used to the PS3 hardware they will use that as their primary device and won't have any capacity issues as they can just cut stuff out if it doesn't fit on a DVD straight away.
Currently the 360 is the primary system as it's easier to develop for so yeah PS3 games will be limited by DVD9 as it's difficult to add stuff when you have only got a few months left (Which is usually for play t...
Whenever they say they want to do something that can only be done on the PS3 I sit here thinking 'Have they realised the 360 is limiting game development?'.
The DVD was introduced for gaming approx 7 years ago with the PS2 (albeit not in dual-layer form back then), we need something bigger than that for next-gen games. Sony hit the nail on the head with the inclusion of blu-ray. That's what Sony do best, they plan a long way into the future and make sure the console is future-...
Lair is the only PS3 game that I had doubts about whether or not to buy it. I've been proved wrong about this game and I'm proud to admit it. It looks wonderful!
I don't have enough money to buy every PS3 game this year. So I'm gonna have to force myself to buy one-or-the-other over the coming months. Starting next month there's Warhawk and Lair to decide between, followed closely by Heavenly Sword. Then the ball gets rolling and I lose count of the games I want lol.

I can't get more than 1.5MB broadband in my area in UK, even if I had a 4MB or 8MB connection the highest connection speed I can receive is 1.5MB. When the standard broadband connection speed is at 4MB (Preferably 8MB) I'm sure it'll be better to buy & download a movie from the net than go and buy it from a shop. That's the future.
Don't get me wrong I can still download trailers and game demos pretty quickly but downloading entire HD movies is a whole other ballgame.
...that the PS3 has sold so well without games and with two competitors alongside it. I'm sure it'll reach next year's target, especially with the lineup this year and early next year.
Go Sony! Now I have to go check out the Heavenly Sword demo...
because the 360 had no competitors at the same time last year. It's like running a 1 man race. How can you be proud of winning when you're the only one running...
I shall try and close this topic just like Jerry Springer would:
In the world today, we see competition all around us. When that competitive nature forces us to throw insults to our fellow man we should pull back from the situation and ask ourselves why we side with one console over another. Is it because it's better? Is it because it's cheaper? Or is it because we're a fanboy? No matter what the reason may be, we can draw upon these two simple facts; Metal Gear Solid 4 is a PS...
That was awesome!
A couple of guys have told me they prefer what PSN has to offer in terms of downloadable games compared to XBL. I don't own a 360 so I couldn't comment on the comparison, but by the sound of things they liked the way PSN is headed with all these improvements, which will just keep making it better.
E.g Heavenly Sword demo available, hurray! (It is still Thursday release right?)
Sony did it with the PS2 and they'll do it with the PS3.
They tend to equip the Playstation with the next capacity standard and come under fire, only to be proven right later on.
The PS3 is currently the same price as standalone blu-ray players and it does more than just play films. The storage capacity, printer keyboard and mouse compatibility, the ability to upscale CD's and DVD's, and of course it can play Blu-Ray games too.
This slow transition...
1) Rockstar North have already said that BOTH systems will get downloadable content. Read here: http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
2) The exclsive content for the 360 is not likely until early-mid 2008 so it won't affect initial sales imo as both systems will get content anyway by this time...
3)MS bought the content as Rockstar never announced any content before, but they wasted th...
...Gears of War sold that many was because it was one of the only good games out at the time. Look at Resistance or Motorstorm on the PS3, people buy one of those (or both) as the first game(s) to play on their PS3.
MGS2 was different, there were more games to play at the time. Not everyone went for it as they had a variety of games to choose from.
Offer a few things and you get lots of focused sales, offer hundreds of things and you get lower sales on particular...
Guys you do realise the PS3 is getting content for GTA4 don't you?
360 gets episodic content.
PS3 gets extra areas added onto Liberty City.
Read it a week or so ago. Hasn't been officially confirmed by Rockstar so it hasn't hit the news yet.
Of course R* will work on the 360 content first and give that priority as they were paid for it, but they're still gonna push out some content for the PS3.
Loved the building collapse bit where the dust actually travelled from the site down through the street towards Snake.
This game just looks great all over, the animations are fluid, the addition of the FPS mode is real nice, the environment is amazingly highly detailed, the new OctoCamo is brilliant, the explosions look hot, looking forward to getting this. The series has had a next-gen top-up and is ready for action!
MGS4 is one of the reasons I bought a PS3 and...
Quote from GameInformer: "considering Europe is supposed to get Heavenly Sword on Thursday, we're betting we'll see the same here in the States.
Updated: We've just received word that the Heavenly Sword demo will be launched this Friday."
Dunno if that means US or if the whole demo has been moved back to Friday, Europe included...
P.S TruBlu I'd recommend getting Motorstorm :D
...of the PS3 era.
People have been saying that multiplatform games look better on the 360 than the PS3, which is true imo and is also pretty obvious considering the 360 has been out longer and is easier to develop for... atm. However, the games coming out this year are the 1st gen games for the PS3 and things can only get better in the future.
Loving MGS4!

We're back to usual business. World wide the PS3 being outsold by 100k to 200k monthly. Nice job "
The 80GB model will take up the same price as the 60GB model in the US if the 60GB model sells out quickly (They have enough stock to last until Christmas at their current sales rate). The European bundle will last till Christm...
June was great and all and yes I was expecting the 360 to outsell the PS3 in June. With the game show at E3 from Sony and the price drop I'm sure it'll be a closer thing this month.
The PS3 monthly sales will be above the 360 sales come Christmas because loads of people will have bought a 360. The 360 will have been out for 2 years by December so the PS3 will be the next big thing to get for a lot of people. Don't get me wrong a lot of people will be buying the 360 and Wii as w...
Whenever someone passes away because of age or because of a disease the relatives have a reason for the death. However, in this case, the relatives will never know the definitive reason why they [Theresa and her boyfriend] commited suicide, which makes it harder to come to terms with the loss for many people.
My deepest sympathies go out to her relatives, and also the relatives of her boyfriend.
By the way, bringing religion into this article by saying she shoul...
