There is a massive problem with cross platform gaming...
Consoles cannot be upgraded like PC's,
PC's have the option for more ram, bigger HD, more powerful graphics card etc...
If a game requires eg 1gb graphics card in the near future the ps3 cannot compete with the level of graphics processing. One version will be running at a lower level and the other will have to compensate.
Its actually quite a technical challenge for consoles, some games right now...
@godmars290...
I think they didnt put it with the headset because they were talking about navigation without a controller.
YOu dont need anything in your hands or on your head, but its just another way to sell kinect...
Personally move and kinect arent my thing - but both Sony and MS are trying to push that stuff, I was disappointed by both sony and MS.
Most of the things showcased were already known of
looks like nintendo will win again
Agreed.
Jack tretton said the ps3 is powered by PSN, but its the other way around.
MS keep focusing on kinect, with only a few mentions of other games.
I mean I really wanted to hear more announcements.
I gotta agree...
Halo and kinect - Im actually surprised they didnt make another deal for GTA 5 DLC, I mean that would have been a very good step.
Looks as if it is going to be another year with kinect as a main focus.
Its actually not that good of an E3 keynote if you ask me. Im just waiting for the next GTA really.
Im really not sure why they keep advertising Ghost Recon, that game has gone back to the drawing board like 3 times now?

@GrandtheftZamboni...
WHere did I say anything about piracy?
All I said was sony could have avoided this if they had a responsible hacking program like MS.
If they used the knowledge of the hacks by finding out how the hackers got in they could have protected their system and avoided all of this. SO many people said "Employ some of the hackers".
Even apple recently employed someone who jailbroke their phone and IOS5 will have better ...
These hackers are fighting the hacker vs Sony cause.
Sony decided to try and make a point and look whats happening.
Theres a blog from 1 of the head security guys at sophos:

This is hack number 13 and im most cases data has been stolen and is now being posted online.
I liked sony in general, they make decent TV's and I love my PS...
I think the price cut is going to start happening because Sony will be cutting the price of the ps3 soon to try and drive consumer confidence in buying their products after the recent data breaches (which BTW are still happening Sony pictures just got hacked).
Im pretty sure the sales outside of the US are quite good because it has sold very well.
I tried to download infamous but it came up saying I have to pay or have a playstation plus.
They're probably figuring out some form on structure to get it out, if millions of people spam the same download. Maybe putting it on multiple servers etc....
its a bit of good and bad really...
MS always were trying to prove that the xbox is an entertainment system and with the rate at which Internet Services like netflix, hulu (in the USA) are becoming more popular when matched with increasing broadband speeds its limiting the use of discs when the media is available on demand.
Its great that many more services are likely to move to XBL (Or PSN) in a similar way. I think the use of discs is decreasing SLOWLY, the internet is becom...
@Legion..
Ive tried with the correct amount and it doesnt let me.
It asks me for credit card info to be added to my account which Im not gonna do.
I think theyre doing it to retaliate against the lawsuit on Geohot.
I was really hoping the hack sony news was about to be over and I would be able to find actual game related news for releases etc... on n4g but it turns out Sony is going to be attacked again.
This is really getting boring.
Thats not the worst problem.
The biggest issue - MS treat it as a single currency it does not follow the regular rules of currency. Its does not get stronger or weaker as with currencies around the world. So when a person might buy MS points they can be losing out if the currency in their country is slightly weaker compared to another..
At any point in time I could be losing out when compared with the US dollar if the Pound (GBP) is weaker during that day.
I hope with ...
The xbox and Wii have both been hacked..what are you talking about
lol...
Nodding - Was typing on my Tablet didnt notice the spelling mistake..
@Ellimem - He has modded his xbox, either flash the disc drive or dashboard (1 of the 2).
If it was the case that its flagging many consoles as flashed then why hasnt the majority of xbox users been complaining about it?
Its because the only ones who get these errors have mods running.
Yea, Many many services are now entering the cloud. Im sure that MS being the behemoth it is, will start add more cloud services to xbox live, Im interested to see what skype brings to the xbox also.
Cloud is becoming the future so if MS do not respond correctly then competitors will have an edge.
When you get certain error codes they are usually right...I mean xbox live does pick up mods after each firmware update. I know a few people who have nodded consoles and they got banned the same way.
Every person with a nodded xbox knows you can't do firmware updates from xbox love you have to waste for custom roms.
These sorts of bans aren't wrong
agreed...
I think because it was suddenly down which caused unexpected issues.
At least now there wont be sudden server down time, only maintenance down time i guess..
@Raven..
I think you mean to spell Censor, not sensor looool..
The news will always report bad news, it generates more views and hits and discussions.
I mean every time a call of duty of GTA title is released its all over the news.
Its nothing new, in the USA the Black ops adverts got coverage for like 15 minutes and every forgot, It will be the same in the UK.
To all those idiot British kids that have 9-11 in their clan tags they are probably ...
By stand up do you mean get every other server/ website owned by sony hacked using the same basic hack?
Im all for sony over coming these attacks, but every site of theirs around the world has been getting hit.
They should shut down the entire Sony network (excluding PSN - because its been upgraded) and upgrade all systems.
I think they are on attack 18 now according to sophos.
Another problem is that industry standards were pretty old and had...
