Now that Sony is coming out on top with a solid line up of games, the fanboys are going to start attacking with hypothetical arguments? Yeah, this is pretty pathetic.
I'll answer this question, "Will PSN Remain Free?", if it doesn't remain free then I'm not playing online. I am not paying for it. I've been bled out of money for years now, I refuse to shell out 60 F**K GOD D**MN DOLLLAR for a GAAAAAME! Not medication, not a cure for death, its just a damn video GAME! S...
it still wouldn't be soon enought! Too bad this site is down, I am heart broken. For your GOW3 view pleasure.. 1up.com preview is LIVE... as of right now!

Get your napkins ready :D and your welcome
I don't here you protesting against that. So it's ok to shoot someone in the eye, push a person off a building, and execute people in GTA4 is morally resposible. If you give the video game the power to influence behavior, then your validate all the anti-gaming legistlation. If you really think video games effect society that much then we should pull ALL violent games off the market.. not just the ones YOU find objectionable. Again, this game is F__ed up to the max, but so is 99 perc of games ...
Running people over with cars, OK.
Shooting, stabbing, burning people with real world weapons, OK.
doing all this while treating women like sex objects and sterotying minorities, OK
Raping badly drawn cartoon charactors, bad and all Japanese people love it!
"Rape is the worst crime a man can commit"
This comment is coming from a guy with a pic of a gun for an avatar. Rape is horrible, no doubt about it. Rape has been found be to less about sexual pleasure, and more the need to feel powerful. Guns do that for people too.
that even 1/100 of Japanese citizen run around watching anime and play video games much less find rape simulators normal? I've met people from Japan and I have yet to met one that cared about anything video game or anime related. I am just astonished how an act of a small group of people suddenly opens the possibility of condemnation of an entire nation of people. I think we've hit a whole nother level of stupid.
So the answer to your silly question is no. That is like a Japan...
The United States of America has thousands of gun deaths every month, his the highest prison population in the WORLD, highest infant deaths in any first world nation (close to 3rd world), US students are ranked lower than even developing nations, highest alcoholic related fatalities, wide spread discrimination (race/sex), no healthcare, tortures foreign citizens without due process, sells weapons to rival waring nations... I could go on for days. This country prosperity is on borrowed time. A...
ok, first off... I agree this is wrong in every way(!), but to accuse the entire nation of Japan like that is misguided. Americans love their torture-porn (Hostile and Hills Have Eyes come to mind). The difference I think there is that people are made to feel ashamed of the impulses that an uncomfortable number of people share. This is a very Christian society that aims to punish impulses in public, but incourages it in private. Pornography in the US is a multi-billion dollar industry, yet no...
I think the point is to gather gamers who are normally not widely accepted to find a place they can be themselves unapologetically. It's not like community like XBL encourage a healthy atmosphere for any minority.
Yeah, I mean the whole point is to be excepted and looking past our differences right? Makes that kind of hard to do when a group flashes those differences for everyone to see. But good for them anyway. Gaming needs some diversity.
im surprised to hear some level headed arguments coming from you, but that was a bad analogy. The Beatles success has little to do with their musical abilities. I think what you were attempting to do was name The Beatles musical influences, but didn't know enough about them and instead chose to use "guitar/bass/drums" as an example. Those 'tools' are of a completely different metaphorical category. FYI, The Beatles where initially influenced by Motown and Doo Wap as well as Harry Ni...
.. steroscopic 3D that is on the way for the HD/HDMI ready PS3. 4D is here people and it's true 3D?
Why do some of you insist on using the word "rip off"? Saying that is ridiculous. Quantum Theory is no more a "rip off" than Gears of War is a Resident Evil 4 or Killswitch rip off or Duke Nukem was a Doom rip off. Just because a game is influenced by another does not make it a rip off. No one here has even played the game, so none of you who claim it's a "rip off" can even say that with any authority. Quantum Theory is in early development and many things can ch...
Microsoft is a software developer who makes operating systems for a separate market; the PC market. Dell, Intel, HP, Acer, and other PC manufactures use Windows to run their products.
Personal computers are still DOS based and Windows lays on top to make navigation and user interface easier. Windows is just a program that runs off of DOS, that is why you always have to sit through a DOS bootup before starting Windows. Mean while Apple's personal computers (Macs) do not have DO...
This 'review' isn't going to change my mind. I don't need some self proclaimed authority goose stepping around trying to tell me what's 'good' or 'bad', worth playing or not. I understand the fanatics are upset, but that is one or two (creditable) reviews out of what about 10?
Honestly the average Joe doesn't visit gaming sites or care what reviews say (have you seen the sales of Iron Man the video game?). I've seen enough footage and played the demo and I've made my decision.

No, you are completely wrong. Not all companies use sleazy tactics to undermine the FREE MARKET. Guess what, if this WAS ok to manipulate the market.. then it really isn't a free market. Anti-trust laws were created for a reason.
Now lets say you jsonhenry had real ambitions and purpose and wanted to start up an independent company to create software that would compete with Microsoft, and then Microsoft uses resources to undermine you from selling to all the venders and compan...
You are only calling a game you've never played "good" because this site claims the 360's won a graphics contest nobody asked for.
f**k it.
Even if MGS4 came out on the 360, it would be old news by then. PS3's line shall bury that good news for 360 fanatics.
360 fanatics have little else to argue. PSN has almost all the features of XBL, and with one or two major updates PSN will have more, for free no less. So that argument is completely thrown out. And that "PS3 has no games" well that argument is gone. So now what the fanatics are doing is HOPING Sony does something catastrophiclly different, it has to justify their 360 purchase. Stop trying to bring PS3 owners down to your misery of endless fees and accessery 'upgrades'. Just keep pa...
