Chances are a single PS3 died a few days after the update so the only possible reason is the firmware. Conspiracy!
My 60GB is golden as always.
Here we go. Making excuses before ever showing gameplay. Total insecurity. Shame.
That's as arbitrary a statement as "Quit listening to music."
Given who gets my money from music and who gets it from games, I'll stick with games.
It's been said for a long time, but the past year has proven it definitively for me: The PS3 is simply more powerful than the 360. (Of course, the 360 has plenty of strengths, it's irrelevant here.) But it has also become clear to me that multiplatform titles absolutely must have parity to be successful on multiple platforms. As soon as preferential treatment is given to one, it's tantamount to suicide on the other. (Blur for instance is likely dead in the water on PS3.)
So that ...
The timer on the Spartans Stand Tall page has filled to half. Wonder if it's on a timer. Maybe it's counting up to a certain number of platinum trophies?
Just tightening up the graphics on Level 3.
And 4. And 6,7 & 8. And 10.
And the gameplay on Level 1-12.
And adding local Co-op.
Then they'll delay until Holiday 2010 for online co-op and competitive multiplayer.
I will say that, in Canada, everything is more expensive on XBLA than on PSN because of the point conversion. So yes, it's a scam.
This would just piss me off. My surround system already has a tendency to make me look behind myself for subtle background noises (silly, I know). And I tend to startle easily. If I started hearing voices behind me.. It would just be bad.
Do you have any idea how rare an instance you are? I'm sure you do.
I'm not going to say that there won't be legitimate users kicked by this, but I will say that I'd rather lose your trust than a developer's.
The point is: It's going to have literally ZERO effect on the product on shelves. So while it might hurt you personally, how can you honestly believe it's going to have an effect on Sony or their business plan?
Come to Canada and you'll find yourself in a secular paradise where I've never witnessed anyone disparage video games or their culture. You'll also find three levels of government bending over backward to welcome and setup the fastest growing array of game development studios anywhere.
You'll never hear about 'ultra-violence', 'hot coffee', 'sex-box', 'rapelay' or any of these other stupid controversies here. Just grab a controller and shut up.
Can we get off the 'Pretending anyone actually used OtherOS just for another reason to bash Sony' train?
No one is stupid enough to believe that someone would buy a $400-600 machine (phat models only, remember) to use Linux on without access to the GPU. It was a stupid, useless feature. If you happen to be in the extremely small niche market that happens to be using PS3 clusters for computation, you're not using it for games anyway and you're not going to lose the feature.

Maybe he should move to a country less overwhelmed by stigmas. One where a tattoo doesn't necessarily make you a mafioso.
The Wii will remain successful for what is has been successful for: Nintendo IP.
Maybe Move will give third parties a piece of this motion control pie, but it's not going to have much impact on Nintendo at all.
Well PS Move uses exactly the same tech as Motion Plus. I actually saw some toolsets at GDC that would allow quick calibration of both controllers at once for multiplatform development.
Regarding Natal, I've not actually played it so I'm not really sure, but from what I've read and how it's described I think they could shoehorn it in if they wanted to.
This is another one of those situations in the US that leads every American to assume the entire world is going to change around them.
Nope.
Hardware ain't going anywhere. Just step outside your front door for a little while and you'll see a world that's not prepared for this digital eden people keeping describing.
The PS3 just launched in the Philippines. When is OnLive going to be available there? How about in Brazil? Chile's internet capacity is proba...
Rad.
Fine. *Is working* present tense.
NG DS kinda surprised me at the time, but it made more sense because it was a brand owned by Tecmo that had likely been bid on by Nintendo. (Seeing Dead or Alive Paradise on PSP is actually more surprising because I don't know who the audience is.. guys jerking off in bed or bathroom stall.. I guess)
Why would Itagaki leave, create his own company, make a new IP and then NOT work on the system he's been praising since day 1 as the ea...
Game Boy is also an option. So are Windows 3.1 and Commodore 64.
Oh, and Mac.
It's all about the art.
Not to mention the first Castlevania games and in fact, the majority of the series.
When I think of defining games, I always think of platform exclusives. Multiplatform games smack of compromise.
