I loved mine, too. May it rest in peace. When it died I had it replaced with a 120GB slim, and I haven't missed PS2 BC. I thought I would, but I haven't.

Besides, you can get a used PS2 slim for next to nothing right now.

Just Japan?

Samsung is my brand of choice now. I'll never own another Vizio.

Gosh this makes me feel so old.

Certainly is.

This is the funniest thing I've ever read! So today I hate MS and love Sony, huh? That's awesome!

Yeah, one of those sales is my copy. It's a good game. I like arcade mode.

That's a lot of people jumping up and down looking like fools. Good job.

This is pretty much the same as that other article that was also approved. I love how the hype starts 11 months before release.

However, I believe that this game will live up to it.

As a lifelong software engineer I always chuckle when I read things like this. Developers patting themselves on the back for solving contrived problems. Great job, Naughty Dog!

Still a great game. Non-tongue-in-cheek good job on that one.

That makes two of us.

Not nitpicking, but is the operating system free? Or are we going to play all of these games on Linux?

$140 for Windows 7 Professional

And double that RAM for another $27, because 2GB just isn't going to cut it.

That brings the total to $455. Which is still reasonable for a basic gaming PC. But more realist...

I know I wouldn't. My time is more valuable than that.

So I guess we're still talking about this.

Exactly.

Reviews are just opinions and they reflect the feelings of the author. If reviewers were always right I would love games like Halo, Resistance and Call of Duty. But I know the kinds of games that I like and no matter what a reviewer says I'll probably never rate an FPS game like a reviewer who loves the genre will.

I learned many years ago that trusting reviews at face value is a mistake. I've found so many awesome sleeper games just by goin...

What I find the most interesting is how naive some people are. There really are some people who just want to understand the hardware, so they "hack" it by reverse-engineering it. Just like fail0verflow did. After they understand it, they typically release what they find to the general public for others to use as they will.

Philosophically I understand why hackers release their information, but practically I believe it's a bad idea because they know what it is g...

It's interesting that you say Geohot gave up, considering he just released a firmware decryption tool hours before you made this post:

I'm not sure what your definition of giving up is, but by my definition it seems like he's still quite active.

The hacking scene really started going after the PS3 when the slim released without OtherOS, not when Sony removed it from the older models. Let's keep to the timeline.

And the blanket "Linux didn't run well" statements are laughable. Depending on the distro installed and whether your skill level warranted use of a graphical environment to work in determined performance. Not everyone needs to point and click, you know.

I wish people actuall...

Sony saw it as a waste of memory and removed it based on consumer use? Come on DragonKnight, you don't really believe that, do you?

OtherOS was removed because the feature could be exploited to allow direct access to the hypervisor, plain and simple. The truth is that Sony had absolutely no way to know how many people were using OtherOS, so 99%/1% ratio has no validity.

The removal of the feature by firmware update was a kneejerk reaction to attempt to pr...
