Selling you a disc with an unplayable partial game?

Sounds reasonable.

Some people buck stereotypes...

"You may be content with traditional gaming but some of us more advanced gamers need more."

("advanced gamer" then goes on to TV TV TV TV TV TV) Enjoy sacrificing an extra %25 of your gaming RAM to apps and surfing the net and watching "your stories"... sorry, "your shows," Mr. Advanced Gamer.

I like the idea I had in another article... using Kinect/PSEye to mocap your own taunts/victory dances/etc.

I need to stop posting that idea and go file a patent. :-)

This. I hate talking to computers. Stupid phone trees... I'd much rather "press 1 for billing, press 2 for representative."

"Don’t expect a portable version of Diablo III anytime soon, because “right now our hands are pretty full just tackling PC and console.”

PS4+PSVita IS the portable version. :-)

To be fair, you don't see me doing anything but typing on an internet forum.

...but I bet a Kinect could identify a firearm in your living room, or a bong in the corner. ;-)

As far as the thermal paste, if you've got it opened, might as well paste it. And if you separate the sink from the chips, which you should do for a thorough cleaning, you should clean them and reapply the paste.

I did this to my old phat, and I've fixed a couple YLoDs, which also includes a thorough cleaning.

Please elucidate on how "walking in public with cameras everywhere" is "gaming related." Start with that, and maybe then we can consider moving on to your boilerplate false equivalency.

>>Only somebody who knows he's wrong would argue with me.

Isn't that cute. How's this: Only somebody who knows he's wrong would claim that somebody arguing with them would only do so because they know they're wrong.

Yup... pretty standard. But Sony isn't trying to put a console-mandatory camera and microphone into my house, so they're a bit more limited in the data they would have access to.

Your argument has got to be one of the most idiotic that gets presented, perhaps even moreso than the "I've got nothing to hide" nonsense.

When these issues are discussed on "News 4 Phones" and "News 4 Pedestrians," maybe I'll post there. At the moment, however, we're on "News 4 Gamers," so it would make sense to discuss the issue's relation to gaming. If I went off on a rant about LPNR cameras, I think people would just...

@Sniper: I was waffling about getting the disc or download TLoU, and I ended up getting the disc because I figured I'd end up finishing it and getting a few bucks back off of it.

Little did I know how much I would enjoy the multiplayer, and now I'm constantly popping the disc in and out to go between bedroom and living room. Wish I had grabbed the digital.

Get out your screwdriver, vacuum, canned air, and thermal paste, and that old PS3 will be right as rain.

I've been saying "gotta crack open my phat and vacuum it out" for the last six months. :-P My slim is still quiet as a mouse, though.

@Death: "Sony never backed any of their products this way."

Did Sony have a class-action suit hanging over their heads?
