Weird. The fans thing happened to me two days ago, playing Red Dead Redemption. Have a PS3 slim for 1 year and a half. That's the only time that happened. I just switched it off, cleaned it a little bit (first time also lol), and... well, looks like it's fine now :)

Funny. I just received the email to change the password. It expires in 3 hours, and the website of course is under maintenance. I guess I'll have to re-do the process whenever....

Not for me. I don't use Windows, I use Ubuntu. Skype for Ubuntu is already inferior to Windows', I don't know how it will get in the future...

I think he means what we "all" football addicts mean: FIFA was great until PES 6, then PES took the lead, until FIFA 2006 (I'd say a bit later), where FIFA re-took the lead and it looks like it's going to stay there for a long time...

Nice point. I happen to have a card with the same bank (Banco Santander, it's Spanish); just checked my bank account and THERE IS advertisements, BUT only of the same bank (like credit products, cards, promotions á la "win 10 trips if you get into stock exchange...", etc).
In his case, he is checking his numbers through the Visa website of the Santander's card. The advertisement says, i think, in Norwegian: "Win 5000 NOK every day", which could perfec...

If you follow football (what Americans call soccer), you'll see players play FIFA/PES all the time when they gather in hotels, trips, etc... They have more free time than rest of the mortals...

I'd like to know as well. People post comments on blogs and forums... but you have to be logged in for that!!! :S I want to post!

Completely disagree. There are already loads of SP games, and games need to be multiplayer as socialising is a good habit, enjoyable, fun, etc. It's just real life.

The only thing that the outage proves is that games should have an option to host games without using a server.

It also proves that there's people that don't know what to do with their lifes once they aren't able to play videogames. For the sake of health, read a book, go jogging, ...

@Everybody

The main port of Europe is Rotterdam. Maastricht is also an important cargo hub - at least, when the PS2 arrived for the first time in Europe, it went through that city.

Both cities are in the Netherlands. Now think about the problem again :)

Actually, I agree with oguzsasi here. It's not that DS3 doesn't feel natural... But I find it awkward that I can't press L1/L2 with different fingers, as I would press them with the middle of the finger, instead of with the tip.

I think you didn't get his point, he even stated "DS design is the best for 15 years", just finds weird using it having big hands. Me too.

Not that I would change it for a XBox one. Never.

the RSVP here in Spain is 59,99€. That is really expensive. In some shops you can get them for 55€, and it's very rare to find it at a lower price. I don't want to make spam, so I won't say the retailer, but there's this big Canadian online shop that sells DualShock 3 for 35-40€, shipping included... I bought two recently, now I can take my friends home and do a 2vs2 in FIFA11 :D

Indeed.

But it's not the last, there's another one programmed for the next month. Furthermore, there is a chance - little, but there it is - that there would be a 3rd launch this year. And that would be it.

My PS3 downloaded a patch right today! I have automatic downloading set up, so I guess it was released yesterday or so.

However, I have a feeling crashes are and won't be fixed. It looks like it's a problem with memory handling of the game engine, and they just don't care about it. To me, Fallout 3 became unplayable after dozens of hours due to constant crashing, and it looks like New Vegas is heading the same way.

This is only for Spain, and they have the address in Madrid. I was going to donate my old PS2 but my sister was first going to Cash Converters and getting some cash for it...
My PSP is almost useless, if I don't want it in my near future, I'll go to this place, for sure.

@Darkfiber Are you stupid? It's a rethorical question by the way.

that's because you haven't been to Spain

· Internet 6mbs, no limits (yet) - over 40€ (55$)
· Landline: 10€ ish (14$)
· Cell phone: text message round 0,18€ (0,25$); average call per min. same as above, but some plans have "calls 0,03€ per min from 18h to 07h, the rest 0,50€ (0,70$) per min"

@Kalowest lesbian hackers don't count.
I want to meet her, btw.

Me too. Actually, it's not infinite, but almost :D It makes online playing very difficult right now. I hope they patch it soon!

That's the MAC of the PS3 on the video.... Hope he does never connect online, he's been a bit stupid showing it (spoofed ones usually are 00:00:00:00:00:00.....)

Great very intelligent post. Bubbles to you.

I'm also scared by the possibility of a near-future paid PSN á la XBL... only PSN accounts that are registered as payers would use the servers and thus the hacked ones will remain away from online... Now, this would be real S*** for the rest of us who only want to enjoy playing...

If Sony has no chance to counter-attack this hack, then we should expect a world of server-side features tied to our PSNs, noth...

I don't support piracy at all, but that statement leads to confusion. For example, with Dissidia the company didnt LOSE $335M, because most of the people won't just buy it paying. Yes, of course there are some losses, but these numbers should be taken with caution. There's a big difference in downloads when something is "free" to when it's not...

I hope Sony has something to do against this hack. If not, we normal costumers might have problems... Pai...
