As I understand it, 100 msp (MicroSoft Points) is $1.25. So the map packs are $15, or $3.75 per map.
I don't know for sure, though. I never buy microsoft points. I just did the math.
@dgroundwater: Algebra? Really? 80msp for $1 is 4 msp for a nickel. Any further than that and you're dealing with fractions. And that is 5th grade math. Not algebra. Trust me, I've solved quadratic equations.
Okay. I used the wrong name. The dev kit is still cheaper, and it's still 100% legit.
For future reference: who did hack the ps3?
I would imagine that the pc that GeoHot used to hack the ps3 was a monster. Probably $2500-3000. If all he really wanted was homebrew, he could have paid $2k for a ps3 dev kit. Then his homebrew would be 100% legit. Might have even been able to sell it on PSN.
That's it , right there. You own the hardware. That ps3 is yours to with as you please. If you want to play games, surf the web, watch movies, hang it from your ceiling fan, or use it as a doorstop, you're more than welcome to do just that. Paint it pink for all Sony cares.
HOWEVER, your ownership rights do not apply to the software: Sony's intellectual property. The only rights you have to the software are the rights that Sony allows you to have. The eula probably said So...
And GeoHot will be played by Shia laBoeuf or that Jesse Eisenberg guy that was in Jericho.
I completely agree. User generated content adds a lot more replay value than any DLC ever will. Hope it ends up in other games. Gta and assassin's creed could use it.
The one thing this article should accomplish, it probably won't. Eradicating, or severely diminishing comments like:
"You're not a real gamer if you don't..."
"[Title] is the best game ever made, only a moron would disagree."
"[Title] sucks. It's a stupid game."
If there's any truth to the #1 reason we're gamers "to have FUN," then you're a real gamer if you own a system. I...
Aside from some demos, Doom was the only FPS I've ever played. I don't get the appeal, it just seems like they're all the same. Sometimes the enemies are nazis, sometimes they're aliens, sometimes they're terrorists. The objective is the same: kill 'em all. Every once in awhile one of them brings something new to the table. CoD brought multiplayer. I don't know which one was the first to include sniper scopes. There have obviously been games that innovated the FPS ...
I have to agree with MGS4. Never played Killzone (Not really into FPS) or God of War, except for the demo.
Uncharted 2 - Only played the Demo. Looks good, but I keep putting off buying it. Where did the writers get that picture? Half Uncharted and half Killzone?
Heavy Rain - Own it played got all the endings.... brilliant game.
LBP - The "Play. Create. Share" concept is starting to spread. It's in UnFamous2 now... well, it wi...
Well if you're going to be a fanboy.... at least you're a fan of something good. I have to admit I don't own GOW3, but I did play the demo and I can understand your reasoning.
I'm still not ready to concede a return of Solid Snake, at least not one that's set post MGS4. I'm not 100% sure of what Hideo looks like so I can't comment on whether that's his silhouette. I do know the hair, or what looks like the hair, isn't shaggy enough for it to be Snake.
I'm not sure it would be a developer in the picture, it's more likely a character, but I won't rule out anyone.
"Waited a long time," c...
The child molester had a radio show in GTA:SA. This is for a new GTA. Now I wonder where in the development process do the studios start looking for voice actors? Early? Late?
Then you would also have to include SackBoy... he takes their brains.
I wouldn't mind seeing a list of female badasses. I know my wife loves them. They do seem pretty hard to come by. I can only think of Bloodrayne and Tomb Raider off the top of my head... maybe a few of the women from Final Fantasy.
As for the list itself: I would have included Alex Mercer, Cole McGrath, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Rico Rodriguez. Solid Snake is definitely a good fit... don't know about most of the rest, just because I never got round to playing the...
OH.... for the love of all that has ever been.....
STFU & GTFO... come back when you grow a sense of humor. At least learn to recognize satire, maybe some time away from DANE F'n COOK will do you some good.
My GOSH why am I in such a snarky mood all of a sudden??
I dunno.... We'll have to ask a PC gamer. Maybe they can offer some pointers, or some patience enhancing exercises, or a magazine, or a book, or a snack, or something.
Or we could just BOYCOTT SONY for making us wait another FIVE MINUTES.
Crap... That's all my bubbles.... oh well, MNR is about done downloading.
Yeah... and it's 4GB. Sony is doomed now... I know I'm going to throw my PS3 in the dumpster... I'll consider buying a PS4 if it does my laundry for me. Maybe gets me a Faygo out of the fridge when I need it.
- End statement, back to waiting on ModNation Racers to Download.
Don't bother giving the site the minute or less it would take to read the article. The install is only 4243mb.
Mgs4 initial install 8 minutes (only done once)
Act1 install 3 minutes
Act2 install 3 minutes
Act3 install 3 minutes
Act4 install 2 minutes
Act5 install 1 minute
So where did you get 7 minutes from?
Agreed. Why wait 3 months for four more maps when you can have 4000 maps in three days? LBP2 has over 4 million levels now, but that's counting the ones imported from LBP1.
"But 99% of user created maps/levels are crap."
So? That last 1% is still more levels in a week then you'll ever get from Activision. And you can always make your own.

Oh yeah! You don't have to pay for user generated conte...
