Honestly, it only takes about 3 - 8 minutes to update in my house. (perhaps it's the comcast highspeed internet @ 16mb's)

In some situations when businesses are bought out or merged.............unionized workers or contacts that the companies may own, have a Change Of Control clause that may honor contracts & agreements in place prior to the merger or buy out.

I could understand if he likes 360 more than PS3, but he goes far out of his way to post negative info & comments about a machine he doesn't even own. I sold my 360, so I may read/browse articles pertaining to MS, but that's where it stops. I'll never post bashing comments toward the console. Worry about the machine that you have. And that goes for PS3 supporters that are constantly trolling Xbox news & hating. You all put more energy into hating the console you don't have, than you s...

Okay, if Nasim is secretly posing as Shmee............then what's your previous screen name? Being that your first post came on 11-19-2007, & Nasim's last post came 11-1-2007.

Why don't the so called "gamers", get back to playing games? I'm never gonna actually understand the so called "console war". In my late teens, I had both Snes & Genesis. I never particularly cared for sega's machine, except for a handful of classic titles. I did however have a Genesis just for the sports games. EA's & Sega's sports games where just that much better on Genesis. I did 85% of my rpg, action & adventure gaming on Snes. My point being, even though...

I've been a happy PS3 owner since launch day. I'm also glad to see you show so much enthusiasim for PS3. But, seriously, you gotta stop writing scrolls & posting them. They're basically the same message everytime & they are all entirely far too long. Shorten it up some please.

no offense, but please refer to my earlier reply #6.4 in regards to a FFVII remake.

6726d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

I'm not attacking you in anyway, but I don't understand why folks keep screaming for a remade FFVII. I played & beat the game 10 years ago. I'll never forget how Sephiroth kept kicking my ass in the final battle. I really enjoyed it & will always like the game, but I'd much rather have a brand new story to play through. We already know how FFVII plays out. Wouldn't it be better if developers were spending their efforts on a new adventure for us to play?

a very nice channel to view about games & stuff. Even after G4 merged with Tech TV, it was still cool. I think they lost some funding or something recently. For the last year or so, they've reduced the programming to TV shows that are in syndication. It's just my opinion but, I don't think re-run episodes of COPS belongs on a channel that's dedicated to electronics & video games.

EB had a great return policy. You could purchase a brand new game, & return it within 7 days for a full refund. Funco Land always had some crazy prices going on. Me personally, I was always partial to Software Etc & EB. I guess since they had lots of PC stuff available, those stores seemed to be more upscale than other stores.

Every time I read a comment that you post, it's bashing Sony in some way. Why don't you just sell your PS3 & move on to something else? This was a topic where happy PS3 owners are discussing online issues for a game that they all enjoy & here you come complaining about Sony & PS3 again.

I only have PS3 right now & I don't care about it's exclusivity being timed or whatever. I gave them a fair shot, but first person shooters never did it for me anyway. They are great games, but I could care less about yet another FPS. It's arguable that developers have flooded the market on both 360 & PS3 with hyped FPS's.

I understand that the times have really changed for gamers, but all over this site & others, all I see is talk of sales numbers. Consoles sold, games sold.....does anyone just play the games anymore? Playing video games was better overall, when it was considered a kiddie or geeky thing to do. Gaming is almost too commercial now. Concerns over who sells more than who...what developer signs exclusive rights to who.....this is almost worse than the music industry is now. (primarily hip-h...

In his defense....I started reading topics on this site about early June. Bladestar was posting some off the wall opinions and bashing PS3 & Sony every chance available. The last few weeks, he's been making more valid points in his arguments. I'm by no means here to judge anyone on their views, but I think considering his past comments, he deserves his props.

These guys are right about the capitalism thing. It's way bigger than video games. This is just the way the world works...since forever.

You are so right!!! I can't believe how I completely forgot about the 16 bit Maddens. Madden on SNES was horrible compared to Genesis. At first EA wouldn't even put out a Nintendo version, not to mention Sega's version was a 2-3 years ahead of Nintendo's all the way up untill Playstation 1 started to dominate. Yo, EA has always dumbed down different versions for different consoles. Now that we mentioned it, I only had a Genesis for the EA Sports titles. Genesis really catered to sports ga...

I thought it was just me that noticed all of the Xbox360 stuff on the new Madden 08 commercials. It's almost as if that's the only version of the game being promoted. Perhaps MS helped pay for the ads, maybe not. None of us really know. But I do believe something shady went down. Even if 360 was the lead platform, PS3 still should've gotten virtually the exact same game. That was a subliminal message in itself. MICROSOFT WILL NOT REST UNTIL THEY OWN THE GAMING INDUSTRY. Madden, GTAIV, a...
