Yeah, I have Comcast, and I don't see them making an exception for "20Mbps" streaming video.
It makes sense for them because it will make the PS4 backwards compatible with the PS3. They just need to add more PPUs to the processor and include branch predictors in the hardware.
1UP: "When Wipeout HD was first revealed, a lot of folks -- for better or worse -- assumed it'd just be an amalgamation of the two PSP entries, the aforementioned Pulse and Wipeout Pure, but with tweaked, high-definition graphics. After an extensive look under the hood of this magnificent beast, though, it's apparent that the fruits of SCE Studio Liverpool's labor equate to so much more."

Agreed, this article is pretty lame. It's simply using news from last week mixed in with some sarcasm.
Personally, I think he just felt left out because he wasn't invited into the beta.
Exactly, you basically get SOCOM for $20 and the headset for $40. Right now Amazon has it at $56.95.
I hope so but it's hard to say since there are many cost (e.e.g marketing, tech support, warranty) embedded with the sale of each PS3. At the very least, this will help improve the life and cost incurred by the PS3. The PS3 is all about the software this year, so I think the main profit will come from its big exclusive titles.
This Don Reisinger guy makes nothing but flamebaits on CNET. He's always been pretty much anti-Sony/PS3 and anti-Apple.
Though you are right it puts the PS3 at a price disadvantage, it still manages to outsell the 360 despite trailing it by a year. If anything is going to jeopardize the life cycle of the 360, it will be its optical format. Developers need to decide between texture compression and paying extra royalties for extra discs when it comes to 360 games.
The only negative part of Blu Ray for you seems to be that it is in the PS3. Do you have any real issues with it? Like it's production cost or the underlining technology?
Blu Ray is already much cheaper to produce with LTH technology. And it will soon handle 100GB data with 4 layered discs. Both are compatible with current players and the PS3 with only a firmware upgrade.
P.S. Does anyone know the n4g record for disagrees?
I'm from MA, I have just two trophies from Super Stardust, and I have bought about 4-5 games from the PSN.
How in the world did Blu Ray cheat? You make it seem like Sony is the only company behind Blu Ray, which makes me think that the people filing the lawsuit must think an awful a lot like you. Here's a fact if you even bothered to google blu ray.
"Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion picture production"
I wonder if they also tried to sue DL-DVDs when it became widespread. And the fact that they are suing Sony for Blu Ray obviously means they are in it for the money since Sony has a tendency to settle outside of court. What a joke of a patent lawsuit.
I highly doubt HD-DVD is going to be used for games since no console has it built-in. Even if MS introduces it, they will be alienating almost all of their user base, even more severely than when they put Vista only labels on new PC games.
I agree with you. If it wasn't for the built-in wifi on my PS3, I wouldn't have been able to remote play so many games during the olympics (at least for the events I didn't care much for).
I also love the fact how open the PS3 is by using so many established protocols. Streaming music, hooking up any bluetooth headset, and working with one of my webcams. There are many of these features that are just a bit hard to justify into a comparison table, but they made the PS3 worth the p...
I have no idea where any of you guys buy HDMI cables that cost that much. Just buy the third party ones on Amazon for $10. While quality does matter, it only makes a difference at long distances, so a cheap HDMI is fine for 3-6 ft (the shorter the better).
Yeah it should be against the Blu Ray consortium. They just target Sony due to their recent success. This is why the patent laws in this country needs to be reinvented.
A patent that "describes methods for recording and reproducing information via optical disc." Geez, I wonder why they chose to target Blu Ray after they won the format war...
It's a good think Konami doesnt make us pay for these things through DLC instead.
What ever happened to cheat codes?
