Future Playstations' GameOS will eventually become a full Operating System(like Winblow$) or be replaced by a sleek, fast, optimized version of Linux - Sony Linux OS - as the PC Console redefines the next gen console.
Now that will truly undermined the foundations of the Winblow$ empire.
C'mon Sony, do it!
Micro$oft has a virtual monopoly with Winblow$. Now what did they do with it? Hmmmmmmm?
* Anti-competition suits in Europe & US
* OEM/Vendor lockin forcing PC buyers to also pay for Winblows preinstalled - which is also why Vi$ta will eventually succeed.
* An insecure & unstable OS - costing M$$ in downed systems or s/w, h/w fixes to counter - because M$ didn't get off their monopolistic ar$es to build a more unix-like system - eg Linux & Mac Os X. Bec...
Bring it on.
This game is going to be a hit. Not the best graphics but with the focus on multiplayer, the assortment of weaponry and vehicles and simple, FAST gameplay this is going to pawn many.

...but that will change.
Even if the Ps3 was the same price as an xbox 360, sales would still remain relatively low due to the lack of quality games and net service. The 360 simply - at present - has alot more to offer. However, 3 million sales so far isn't bad for such an expensive machine with next to no games and an unproven net service.
The price for next gens have always been high on release but eventually do drop.
Unfortunately, the Ps3 is now in a h...
Just like Little Big Planet, GoW3 will be huge.
My minds working over-time now imagining how the developers are going to move to the next level and produce a truly next gen game with Gow3. One improvement would be to change 3rd person perspective to be similar to Gears. This will get the gamer more involved with play. Again, the mind's working overtime here.
Only 7 months in and the future's looking very good indeed for ps3.
Apparently not!
xbox 360 has great exclusives....
ps3 has great exclusives....
But we're all the poorer with the whole idea of 'EXCLUSIVES.' Unless we buy them all, we miss out on great games on THE OTHERS if we just buy one console.
Being a Linux fanboy, I'm really pi$$ed that I have to buy a xbox 360 to play Halo 3, Forza 2, GeoW, Mass Effect etc, I don't want to contribute to Micro$$$oft securing another monopoly in the gaming industry as it has with Winblow$$...
Alas, they've already prematurely ejaculated over the original rumour. Will have to give them more time to recover before they restart their typical whinging and ranting.
Good to see Sony & IBM aren't idiots.
Enough with 3p distributions. They can never better an OS from the manufacter itself.
Sony really has to stop pi$$ing around and simply develop their own sleek, fast, optimized Linux distribution AND have it installed already so that we can use our Ps3s as a miniPC from get go. They know their hardware, inside out, and will have RSX enabled.
So long as they could licence any game$ developed for it, Sony Lin...
....PS4 in 18 months...
....PS3 maybe the last console made by Sony...
ALL BS.
To us sensible folks who have no intention of misleading:
...PS3 with improved A/V function(most likely slimline) in 18 months...
...PS3 won't be the last console from Sony with future gens(4,5,6) maximized for the net & A/V...
Clearly we enlightened folks sees things as they truly are.
By the way: Ken had to go. He made to...
Good as MGS, R&C, FF, KZ etc are going to be, the xbox 360 has just as good titles to counter them. But the Wii & xbox has nothing that can counter LITTLE BIG PLANET.

I'd wish you so called gamers would open your minds and see that this game is going to be a monster hit. It's going to win the hearts of millions - including guys like ...
Everybody, including fellow sony fanboys, are underestimating how big this game is going to be. This simple platform game will pawn all and finally turn the tide in Sony's favour. It was the one game that finally convinced me the Ps3 will win the console war. Unser-created content - the future of gaming.
If you can't understand how big this game is going to be then you aren't a true gamer. This is endless fun personified.
Ps3's games library is only six months old like wise the quality of its net service. The next two years is when the major game releses will be coming, experience gained and price dropped.
The Wii is benefiting from reltively cheap new fun that as yet hasn't been matched by the next gens. But that will change - eg the Eyetoy.
Things will be different 10 - no 5 - years from ...
Except for the issue of the Font the writer got everything right.
Late release should have been in there too as it gave x360 a year head start without next gen competition and opportunity to build up its gmaes library and net service.
Hey, King....aint u a handsome fella. lol.
Now I'm a linux-sony fanboy but this is a fact. Cars don't handle so well after hitting a barrier at 150 mph, with no suspension or the front bumper caught dragging under it.
I'm going to eventually buy an xbox 360(used of course or when its ridulously cheap) just for great games like Forza 2 - again, I'm a Linux-Sony fanboy and this really annoys me because I don't want Micro$$$$$oft getting my money.
I mean GT is up to version number 5 whereas Forza is number 2. Reali...
Until their engineers and designers get into the mindset to consistently make stunning hardware like Apple does.
Eg, if you are going to produce an iPod rival then it MUST AT LEAST provide everything( including attractiveness, profile, size, ease of use ) the iPod does - copy, modify, adapt - as well as have ADDITIONAL features. Combine that with a competitive price and you will have achieved your task.
Unfortunately, Sony didn't do this when making the Ps3 to be...
The only way to beat apple is to copy, modify, adpt - get some immediate experience this way.
Apple has mastered producing User-friendly, fashionalble, future looking, performance hardware and software. Learn from them.
So just copy, modify, adapt the iPod, iPone, iMac, macPro, macBook, miniMac, Mac OsX. The experience they get from this policy will eventually translate into domination of the market with Apple quality hardware.
I would just love to...
Tell me,
How do you make a lot of money by hosting a PR event with a decapitated goat...
...c'mon tell how that works....
...oh, they planned to offend everyone so that they can sell their games...
...where's the logic in that...
...like buyers are going to be soooooo excited seeing the dripping blood and guts that they'll just run happily down to the nearest Sony store to buy GoW2.
...how naive you truly are.
...
I mean, some VP or executive gave the go ahead - he/she needs to be sacked.
And how about the editor of Playstation Magazine - the pictures should have never gone to print or brought up for higher management for deliberation.
Sack the lot of them. And stay away from Greek PR firms....or greek butchers come to think of it.
Q:what if Apple released a handheld?
A:Sony will be forced to produce a PSP Evolution which has rumble, 6-axis, touchscreen and which can also be used as a Ps3 controller.
Q:would i get it?
A:Hell yeah!! Both machines, in fact.
I mean have you heard of the iPod? And who's going to redefine the cell phone industry with the iPhone?
