Wow... you must have good eyes Nathan. I racked my brain trying to spot the differences between those three shots and just couldn't spot them.

You sure those three shots aren't the exact same picture???

Yes composite cables are the Red, Yellow, white setup and are awful. Component cables though give you an HD video output using the Blue, Green, Red video and white, red for audio.

And it is hard to see much difference in quality from HDMI capable and component cables. Though there is a certain level of quality upgrade with HDMI cables from component.

But I think the article is talking about component cables and not composite cables which are different.....

But isn't that just for the video playback? Would it also be for the games? Seems odd that the games would be protected in such a way.

Oh well... regardless I am sure some device is going to step up and be able to handle the transfer of image. I am assuming just a simple process of finding a middle device to go from Hd input to analog sigal that can go composite if needed?

What about VGA? I have cables that hook directly up through VGA cabels for my ...

Just taking a quick look it appears a few devices have digital HD recording capabilities. Just one example here:

I might be reading those specs incorrectly but it appears that you would be able to plug in an HD from the PS3 for games to be recorded? If not then I am sure it will be available soon enough.

I really doubt that this will have too much of an impact on video coverage on PS3 games.

Those that are currently providing coverage will still be able to do so as no update will change the current systems in use.

Of course if a new system is purchased without a mode of recording being available then yes... new systems will not be used for such coverage.

But seriously... bypass systems to record video is usually up and available withi...

You mean by the media right? If you read the article then you can tell that no such 'xbox music' added feature was going to be integrated. Only that you will be able to use voice commands to access music... the voice command being 'xbox music'.

But as usual the media runs with a watered down representation of what really was shown at the keynote.

"I think the problem is they didn't want to go that route..." You are right... they didn't want to go that route, they didn't want to support 'garage developers' they are interested in Indie development teams and little more.

As for xna comment... though many of the games are not up to expectations there is a far better choice then what you would find on your cellphone apps. You have a lot of Gems that are easy to find... and the Indie scene o...

Winback had it before Killzone and Splinter Cell did it prior and better then Killzone too.

People talk of Winback and Killzone... and I never cared for eithers cover system in the game. Killzone had it's primary game focus as being the cover system and both Epic and Naughty dog give inspiration kudos for the game design mechanic. Fanboys on both sides will keep spouting off who was ripping off who.

I still find t...

Halo 1 came out in 2001 but was under developement for much longer then that. It was announced in 1999 for Mac OS and Windows. But it has been mauled around in the Bungie studios much earlier then that announcement, under different gameplay style thst would be more similar to Myth series (a series that I really want to come back!)

So though Halo has not actually been involved for 20 years I can confidently say that it is closer to 15 years and obviously over 10 years, that ...

And what does 'Pub Fund' have anything to do with garage developers?

It is basically a financial scheme to prevent the small indie developer from offering his product to other sources.

It doesn't give you the software needed to put your game on a Sony system. It doesn't help a garage developer create on a Sony platform. It pays those that have the means already to buy expensive dev kits and hire payroll staff. And all under the mask of... ...

Just retired from the military and the majority of our military leadership must be odd too? Had my 46th Birthday recently and am still an avid gamer. My taste has changed since I was young but doesn't mean gaming isn't still a part of my life.

So what about all the housewives on farmville... is that odd too?

What I find odd is 2 grown (I really mean OLD) women sitting around all morning drinking wine and talking about stuff they have no clue about...

Some people might need to reflect on what a ‘garage developer’ actually is.

"We made it so the development kit wouldn’t be too expensive.” Just an idea... if you are truly going to make PS3, Vita excetra available to 'garage developers' then why not offer some free software tools as Microsoft does? Hey... I am not knocking Sony here... I would be happy to develope for anyone if given the right carrot. And XNA has been given to us for free to develope on MS dev...

Not even a well written blog. "It is defiantly on my wish list for 2011." What is defiant about the game being on your wish list?

And what does... "My only niggle is, the lack of protection over the game with a early build being released onto the Internet." even mean? What are you trying to say?

Grammar issues aside... this blog is just poor. And I was shocked to read that the author was 19 years of age. My gues is a 13 year old pret...

I am not sure that you totally understand the greek alphabet? Alpha does not equal Beta. Alpha is first... then comes Beta. We will talk about Gamma later after you have mastered these two letters first.

"...but after getting quite deep into oblivion I found that being guided to your objective does somehow undermine the dialogue and takes from my satisfaction of completing a quest.

I didn't even really realise it until now..."

So you are saying you just only realised now that the compass undermined the game. So does that mean you did or didn't enjoy the game? Not sure how the game undermined the dialogue for you but...

It is the store that is putting their knecks out for the used games. Yes... for the most part they rape us on used games. Not really saving us that much money buying a used game so near release date.

But the store that buys and sells used games takes the full brunt of the purchase if the game can't be resold. How many copies of Too Human and Two Worlds are probably still sitting on shelves having been sold back to the store at launch for more then what the game is tryin...

wow... did I get smacked by the analogy police? No analogy is going to be 100% accurate to the scenario but the basic concept of the analogy used was valid.

$5? I would assume it would be closer to $10. I guess we will find out when it happens. Good luck.

So if you have someone playing with you online (is this game even going to have the option of 2 player split screen for multiplayer online?) on your PS3 will it allow that friend to sign into their profile and play online without the pass?

It is just like trying to sell your used car but having to have a pass to drive on the highway. Now your friend can't borrow your vehicle to drive on the highway. Nor your family members or anyone. And nobody wants to buy your used car if they have to pay extra just to be able to get out of town.
