Isn't one of the points of modding to look cool? I remember reading somewhere that Sony originally planned to light up the PS button on the Sixaxis - anyone else remember this or am I just imagining things? lol
Also this story is well old and needlessly harsh.
Is this a historic moment in time?? Not only did the UK PSN store get something before the US PSN store, but did we get something before XBL?
I agree with Barreldragon00, this game is good but nothing special for me to go out and buy over all the great games coming out. I need to be a little selective with so many games and so little money!! lol
A few interesting points:
"4) A sturdy piece of hardware is very important in some European countries. This and many other things are the reason why Microsoft has a hard time here."
"Although this article points out the popularity of PC gaming in Europe, it fails to note that it is one of the reasons that the 360 is under-performing in comparison to the PS3.
To a certain extent the 360 is still regarded as a hobbled PC in a box (this was eve...
I would recommend you take some of the information on the official playstation site with a pinch of salt. If you go to the UK site and the Haze page, it still says the release date of November 2007!
( http://uk.playstation.com/g... )
Amazon.co.uk says "31 December 2008" (
EDIT: What I'm saying is that I don't want to do stupid parts of games that aren't fun, just to get some achievement points. Some developers seem to strategically place poi...
Sorry - wrong reply - see post 7
This is a patch to add official kits and names - things which Konami cannot include in the game due to licensing issues. This isn't a patch to improve gameplay, rather just appearance.
These are all over the internet for the PS3 version and I've even had one on my game for at least 3 weeks now.
Which I guess you can sort of say is credit to Microsoft. Can you imagine if there was another product out there which had such a high failure rate - like a mobile phone or a tv - no one would go near the thing!
I see no Haze on that list. I still have hope it's coming out in the UK in January as quite a few retailers here have it as a January release date still.
Also, DMC4 is an early February release over here.
I see January as more of a month where you buy games you missed earlier in the year on Sale though, so I'm not bothered by the lack of 'good' games coming out.
I agree with that statement except for the "overhyped games". I think you'll find that is what Sony's problem is - they don't hype their games enough. If you want to see an overhyped game then you only really need to look at Halo 3 - it even managed to appear on normal news!!
Why does Assassin's Creed deserve to be a best seller? I agree with COD4, but AC?? I personally can think of better games which deserve to be in AC's position.
What is Turok doing on that list? lol Out of the entire of 2008, there are much better games coming out than Turok on the PS3 lol
Killzone?
GT5?
Haze?
Do you play games or just check review scores to determine if they're any good or not?
I personally thought Heavenly Sword was one of the best games I've played on my PS3 and Warhawk is another brilliant game in my eyes that has given me hours of fun. I haven't played Lair to give a comment on, but you're probably right there.
I don't need to look at review scores and think to myself "I'm playing a game with an average rating over 90%, so I'm playing a AAA g...
I made a bit of a mistake before with the figures and combined weekly with some monthly figures which doesn't really work. So below are the weekly numbers for the week ending 23rd December from all regions:
Europe/Other:
Wii - 448,127
PS3 - 338,006
360 - 218,636
Japan:
Wii - 268,954
PS3 - 55,119
360 - 8,580
America:
Wii - 740,791
360 - 367,304
PS3 - 226,263
Total:

Well I just checked myself from VGC. See below for the breakdown of region and overall, for those who are interested.
Europe/Other:
Wii - 448,127
PS3 - 338,006
360 - 218,636
Japan:
Wii - 552,170
PS3 - 153,469
360 - 26,057
America:
Wii - 1,176,232
360 - 976,139
PS3 - 588,982
Total:
Wii - 2,176,529
360 - 1,220,832
PS3 - 1,080,457
Are these figures just for North America? If so, does anyone know what the figures are for all of the world? I'd rather know the overall picture than just one country - surely that would indicate who actually won Christmas?
EDIT: Woah, what's the disagree's for? I can only presume that whoever pressed it wouldn't rather know the overall picture?
Your hard drive being displayed as only 232gb is perfectly normal. Read more here:

Hope this helps and makes you feel better (or at least know there isn't a problem) :)
This thing is no better than Sky HD, but it isn't merely a device which allows you to watch freeview - and for the record if you don't have a TV with a freeview receiver, you'll still have to buy a setup box to receive them.
This is the equivalent to a Sky HD box but just for freeview and without all the sky channels. So you can watch one channel while recording another and you also have the PSP connectivity which is it's party trick. This is a real steal for people who don't h...
