So what ur telling me is that with the ability to run unauthorized code on the ps3 wont lead to pirating. So ur telling me that many of the old games on the snes, nes, and ps2 can not be easily downladed on torrent sites. Are you also telling me that it was necessary to publish the key code on line for everyone to see, if you only wanted to return other OS back to the system......... im just saying
Im so tired of everyone talking abt these hackers. I think everyone was doing fine enjoying their gaming system before this situation occured. I hate the fact that people try to rationalize what the hackers have done "oh.... it serves sony right for trying to regulate their product, oh it's not for pirating game were just gonna run homebrew and emulators from classics like SNES, NES, PS2 (dont you have to illegally download those games to the hard drive to do so), and last but not le...
People need to realize that they are not trying to sue for the hack itself because they prob wont win. There's a few ambiguious charges that are packed into the documentation. One is extortion which if you get wanna get technical Geohot did state " Sony if you want your system security done right give me a call I would love to see how it is on the other side" That can easily be construed as your either with me ( hire me ) or your against me ( I will continue to hack your system)...
Geohot maybe a cpu wiz but, he is no lawyer!! He has left a trail of comments all the way back to when he first tried to hack the PS3 that show intentional malicious intent to circumvent their security measures and utilize it in ways it that are deemed illegal. If it is true that he had a paypal acct and they can prove that he somehow profited from any of this ( read legal PDF ) then good luck to him. Hope he's rich because even if he's not he may need a good lawyer.
except for a couple like killzone ( which really like a new IP, alot of people never played KZ 1) twisted metal, ratchet and clank, and a few others.
What everone fails to realize that these are all sequels to new IP started this generation. Every game that comes out cant be a new IP, it takes alot to build a fanbase and its not always profitable. Before anyone starts to complain, you need to look at franchises like COD which is nothing but the madden on FPS (same game new characters). Sony always comes out with new IP's more so than any other company. Microsofts idea of a new IP is turning a FPS into a RTS and nintendo's idea is...
I dont understand the move kinect arguements. Let kinect come out first before we state how great or bad the hardware is. I may have a ps3 but im curious to see how kinect is. It may look corny but if its not I may be inclined to buy my first xbox system. well not for kinect but prob for fable and gears.
a neo geo arcade game
360 sells more because its 100 dollars cheaper. People who are not as informed abt games as we are look at the price and see that its mcuh cheaper and base their purchasing decision on that.
I don't understand why this guy is running off at the mouth. The last time I checked Kinect hasn't even been priced yet, every week their is some story abt what kinect can or cant do, their e3 presentation was horrible, and move is coming out before kinect but, yet they showed more games that will be compatible with the peripheral. I hate stupid comments or at least comments that just have no merit to it. Im sorry but once a company puts money into any product, they instantaneously...
Honestly people, I very hardly doubt that anyone is a majority stock holder in any one of these companies so I dont understand why it means so much to you. MS will always sell more than the PS3 period!!! Not because its a better system but because its always been cheaper by give or take 100-150 dollars. Im sure a huge chunk of the systems sold are the arcade versions. Its like comparing apples and grapes, although still fruit they are quite different. The situation that has MS worried is...
all xbox models received a 50 dollar price cut to clear out inventtory and make room for the new models. 299=249 199=149
and honestly for those who continuely state that you should just buy all systems, be mindful that all people were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth; so please stop making those comments because it sounds ridiculous. I make a very good living and I still refuse to waste my money on all three systems because their is simply not enough hrs in the day.
I think he meant that the ps3 has something for everyone. Other than the PC I dont see another platform with as much diversity. the Wii and the 360 are both great systems for what they do but, the problem is that they consistently do the same thing (or very close to it). So before people start too cry and whine about what system has better games, just look at the libraries and compare each system.
if u only have 3 ps3 games then ur missing out on a ton of great content. In all honesty PS3 a great selection of games.
I seriously dont understand why people refer to Sony/Microsoft as we. Last time I checked neither company really cares abt we the consumer, the bottom line is making a profit. As for Move and kinect they both look pretty descent. Move looks like a hybrid between the wii and kinect. Natal looks ok but, the e3 presentation was pretty bad. Not to mention their are so many reports abt natal's inconsistencies. All in all I think we as consumers should wait to make our decisions on which h...
Its a shame, MGS4 is the reason that I bought my ps3 and trust me it was well worth it.
The fact that the question is even posed is very very sad.
Crackdown is not a top ten game among all consoles. Its a good game but not a great game.
Im not a fan of Geohot at all but, this game was trash way before that.
