Although Sony did not invent the "slim", they sure have been the only ones using the term in the console business.
They didn't call it - Atari 2600 Slim
They didn't call it - NES Slim
They didn't call it - Genesis Slim

They DID call it PS2 Slim
They DID call it PSP Slim(well thats what the public called it)
They DID call it PS3 Slim.

If anything, blame the media for making titles calling it the 360 "slim", a term used...

First, I'm going to attack you, then defend you.

No, the article is correct. An inverted "V" is the arabic numeral 8, but the article talks about eastern arabic numbers, western arabic numbers are the ones you see commonly used now.

@1.8
You're basically saying a symbol in one type of language can't be used in another? So everyone knows "a" is a in english, so it can't be a in French?
And if you read his comment, he talks about an inv...

And I'm pretty sure they're happy about their decision right now.

Even if this was fake, is it really hard to believe that we are going to get custom themes(real ones, like ctf's on cracked psps) in the near future?

"A sales titan? On PS3? That's not saying much.... "

No, not just on the ps3, its number 1 in a number of retailers, even above BFBC2 on 360 in amazon.co.uk and outselling Pokemon Soul Silver/HG in amazon.com <- thats an achievement. Notice that BCBF2 is only $50 on amazon.

That IS saying much.

How do sales matter when these games have sold over 2m?

These comments are funny. I dont think most of the commenters realize that they are stamping "I didn't read the article and commented" on their foreheads.

Basically what this article is saying is that nothing is truly exclusive because there's a similar thing like Natal v Eyetoy, Move v Wii, Singstar v Lips.

the fact that apple has suckered this many people into buying a 10" ipod touch.

"The way I see it is anyone who wanted this type of gaming would have and probably already has a wii buy now. "

The wii is still selling isn't it? There's still a lot more casual potentials left. I guess it all depends on pricing.

maybe they wouldn't want it to clash with GT5, which i expect will be released at the end of June/July

just goes to show how they've evolved since cod4. you got a map pack with 4 new maps for $10 back then. now they want to suck more money out of you with 3 new maps, and 2 old ones for $15.

I would buy this if they included all cod4 maps. Compared to MW2, cod4 maps were just so much better.

If you don't play God of War 1 + 2, make sure you watch the cutscenes on youtube.
GOW 1 Story Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Its a really interesting story, and I recommend knowing it before you start God of War 3.

"I have noticed that all other PS3 exclusives like K2 or U2 get ALOT more attention and buzz etc than any of insomniac games (except the first Resistance, after that its like Sony didn't need them as much so didn't pay their games as much attention). "

This is because although CiT was a great game, it is largely unchanged from its predecessors in terms of gameplay. The graphics were great, but not something you would want to showcase when you have K2 and UC2. It got ove...

8. Dante’s Inferno: Divine Edition (PS3) – 242.5K
9. Dante’s Inferno (360) – 224.7K

With the 360 having twice as big of an install base, I would've expected much better.

The ps2 is selling millions annually still, not hundreds of thousands.

"its a huge demo "

Thats something I've been noticing about ps3 exclusive demos in the past few months.

Ratchet&Clank > 2gb
GOW3 > 2gb
MLB 10 > 2gb

He says approximation.

@above
yeah, thats the problem. NPD actually doesn't track A LOT of important ones like amazon, or walmart. The only thing we can truly trust is shipped numbers from the manufacturer's themselves. I know some people would say we can't trust shipped numbers, but the fact of the matter is, shipped numbers are fair comparison because they do eventually get sold.

But Toy Story still has amazing graphics

atleast its better than the price of each fully loaded wii controller.
Wiimote + nunchuck + motion plus = $80
