It's a denial of service (DOS) attack.

They just use a network of computers they've already installed trojans etc. on, and get them all to simultaneously connect to the website they want to attack.

That website gets so many requests it can't cope and either crashes or just run really really slowly.

And because the attack comes from previously hacked machines the attack can't be easily traced to the people doing the attack. ...

One thing is for sure after all this annoying and distracting (for Sony) hacking debacle..... PS4 will be VERY secure!

It may even employ some rather unpopular techniques to maintain security and we have the hackers to thank for that! :-\

Loved RE4, hated Code Veronica, I'm torn.

If there's new content I might consider this (especially if it's for RE4).

Just adding HD and trophies is enough reason to buy a game twice.

EDIT: Still have RE4 PS2 disc, and a launch day UK PS3, so I can already play it. Don't think I'll buy this twice now that I think about it properly.

Why does it even matter if the PS3 overtakes the 360? To prove the PS3 is a success?

PS3 is already a huge success, look at the sales figures for COD:BLOPS, nearly 10 million in no time at all, the best selling PS3 games and half of that was US sales despite the 360 supposedely beating the PS3 in the US.

If that's not a successful platform then I don't know what is.

Must be a slow news day, or an April fool :)

Hate April 1st.... you can't trust anything you read :-\

It's total rubbish then /s ;) ;)

Sorry to mention it (probably been mentioned already), but with the 360 failure rates I wonder how many of the sales are people buying several 360's. Okay, maybe not a huge % because people get them repaired on warranty now, but it may still have inflated the numbers.

To justify your expensive new 1080p telly? ;)

VERY interesting.

Won't be 25gb though :)

Nice.

Hope the on-line play is solid.

That's interesting, OtherOS was ADDED in FW1.60 :D

Just put more of everything in the box (SPU's, RAM, etc.).

Blu-ray? Yes, but include a faster drive, x12 speed instead of x2.

Are those really in-game shots of Gears 3? Running on a retail 360 and not on a devkit/PC?

Level of detail is impressive (And I'm a PS3 fan).

A few pixels here, a few frames there, does it really matter?

What I think is more important is which version is most fun?

The answer is they're both as fun as each other cos they're the same game.

End of.

Framerate is more consistent too in Killzone 3 (from what I've seen, C2 goes at low as 18fps on both console versions!).

Can't stand games with variable frame rates. Lock it down to 30fps if you can't get 60fps.

Lol! Sponge bullets! :D

I thought that was cos the Helghast are well hard and it's takes a lot to kill 'em.

Yeah, not sure. When I check my stats on killzone.com they are out of sync with the game. But on the PS3 the stats are right.

Glad to hear the lag is gone though, it was sooooo bad between 1.04 and 1.06
