Mine's coming direct from Sony. I have a friend who works for them, but it means I have to wait until he finishes work, a solid 10+ hours from now :(
How can you claim Microsoft is just concentrating on beating Sony when last November they attempted to completely change the image of the console with blatant Mii ripoffs?
I reckon Shepard is far from dead. In fact, I would bet that it's a set up so that he can go undercover. After all, in the first game you became quite a famous guy so what sliver of the underground is going to want to talk to you?
Only if you buy it after a certain date (I think it's may this year).
Microsoft announces a new game and you shout "This is why I prefer Sony."?
What does that even mean?
They Killed off Lara Croft and that didn't stop her stinking up the scene every year or two.
@SonyWarrior - going by that logic, we should ban ALL dudes from XBL. Well done.
Uhhh...this has nothing to do with the PSP at all. It's a remake of the Original Silent Hill from the PS1, to my knowledge that never ended up on the PSP...
It's because lesbians are hot.
We all know this is just a blip on the RADAR for the 360 and in a week or two, it'll be back down in 3rd place, but think of the bigger picture - the Japanese are warming to the 360. Nobody ever thought that would happen. Perhaps it wont make a big difference this generation, but the NEXT generation could be an even closer match and I, for one, welcome it.
It's a 4Gb limit and the difference is the NTFS driver was clean-room reverse engineered for Linux (Which apparently means they can get away with using it or something).
Yes, mindboggle, but look at the PSP - once it was compromised, all future updates could be retroactively hacked in as well. As soon as a new FW is released by Sony, within a few days it's patched into the custom firmware. I'd imagine the ideal goal of the hackers is a similar deal for the PS3.
Hey PAPERCHASER0396, did you read the comment I posted directly above yours? You know, the one where I was completely impartial to both systems?
I don't know, vhero, they've managed to dump even the NAND of a 360, but so far the only thing they've been able to reliably hack are the DVD-Rom drives in the console itself. It's still impossible to pirate DLC on the 360 and assuming Sony's security is at a similar level, I would expect the PS3 to be the same.
Firmware updates from Sony are unlikely to change anything just yet. It seems they dumped the HDD from a PC so unless sony changes the whole filesystem, they'll be able to re-dump it.
If they find any exploits or whatever, Sony will certainly be able to patch them, but as the PSP has shown, once you get that foot in the door, future updates can be hacked just as easily.
Those "gibberish lines of random code" are a direct and unecrypted Hex dump of a PS3's hard drive. If you used a hexeditor on your own hard drive, you'd see similar output.
This is interesting because now they can actually start reading into the depths of the PS3's Operating System - something that wasn't possible before. Before long, people will figure out how it all works and (probably) be able to exploit it for their own means.
On my connection, it would only take about 4 or 5 hours to download a 25Gb disk - and that's on a bad day. I think many people would happily wait 10 times as long if it meant getting something for free.
Still - I want the PS3 hacked, but not for piracy. Look at what XBMC did for the original xbox, it turned a basic computer into one of the best media centre boxes on the planet (even by today's standard, albeit without HD playback), imagine what the PS3 could do.
Of course it wont be a "next gen" experience. It'll be a THIS gen experience.
I think being 3 years+ into this generation we can stop calling it "next" generation.
Yeah and you can sand down the Dpad on the 360 to make it a bit better. It's a wonder Ms doesn't do that themselves.
They REALLY did not like the film. Colour me surprised!
