I bought the slim after my 80GB with backward compatability received a YLOD late July. While I agree the 60 and 80 GBs are better, I like the slim more due to its design and the fact it's mostly whisper silent and doesn't heat up my room like a low-end heater (my 80GB was loud and HOT, even though I have a big, open-back shelf dedicated to the system alone and constantly kept it dust free). I miss the 2 extra USB, media card readers and ability to play my PS2 games, though. Still, a great ...

@TheBand1t:
I like you, man, not only for your avatar (I liked the Jackie Gleason pic better, though), but because you bring logic and objectivity into your posts. When they aren't ranting from being butt hurt for regretting their choice of console, some of the fanboys, more specifically corywebb, are actually rather funny in their exaggerated manner. People take them WAY too seriously.

Namco-Bandai's handling of the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia looks no different to that of Eternal Sonata. Game releases globally for XBOX 360, NamBan says there is no planned version for PS3. PS3 version for Japan with extra content is announced, no plans for other territories and then the game releases only to be announced in NA and PAL regions. It's very likely ToV will release in the other regions, just as ES did and I do not see why they would go through all the work to make an enh...

Cory you lil' rascal, nice avatar. I'm beginning to see through your idiocy and have realised a suppressed wit trying to break free. In due time, my friend.

What's the difference between this and the XBOX Originals? I meant, what's the difference other than getting a (EDIT: physical copy) valued bundle of games from arguably one of the largest and best libraries, remastered visuals and framerate as well as trophy support? Oh...

lol There you go with the ICO + SotC again and I couldn't agree with you more! I regret passing on ICO back in the day, so my hopes are banking on that compilation. Imagine SotC with 720p and flawless 60-fps instead of the inconsistent framerate of the original. I could cry!

...is that not all of these e-mails are the same. One of these I received had an offer:

Make a purchase from the PlayStation Store and get a copy of PAIN! FREE as our special thanks to you.

The sad part of this story is that it was sent to an e-mail that I rarely check and had expired by a week.

Of course, the opinion on which looks more attractive, be it women or technology, will vary from person to person. Having owned a 360 Pro, Elite, 80GB "fat" and this 120GB "slim," I would say I love the slim's design most. I found the fat to be the more attractive for its time, not because of its cheap, extremely thin, scratch/finger print prone and semi-clear piano black finish, but its voluptuous design and chrome trim. However, with the advent of the slim, I much pre...

lol Bravo, Cory. While absolutey disrespectful to the unfortunate victims and families of cancer, this has to be one of the more light-hearted and humorous jokes ever written by an XBOX fanboy. Usually XBOX fanboy comments reak of the KY lubricant used to make the constant anal rapage due to Microsoft's questionable business practices, as well as unreliable hardware, less painful. Not to mention the stench of fecal particles on their fingers from pulling all of the statistical inaccuracies...

I admit, when I first heard Mercury Steam was doing Castlevania: LoS, I cringed. However, the trailer from E3 gave me hope for the project, especially with Kojima's semi-supervisory role. While the gameplay does remind me of God of War, it looks much better in terms of gameplay than the previous 3D disappointments. I will be keeping this on my radar.

As for MGS:R, I am extremely skeptical. The production and direction is competent, the concept of trying to adjust the franch...

Kojima said that he would like to at least do an HD remake of Zone of the Enders 2. I would love if they gave it and the original the GOW Collection treatment.

He's already swamped with projects, with many others in the queue, but I hope someday to experience the once rumored Suda/Kojima Snatcher remake/sequel. I was one of the few (un)fortunate people to have a SegaCD, but never got to play Snatcher.

...is the same as what has been said by several posters already. I want:
God of War Collection (excited because I no longer have a BC PS3)
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (Ico is hard to find without paying out the @$$)
Silent Hill Collection (1-4 at least)
Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection
EDIT: Zone of the Enders Collection

I'm sure PS2 classics will come to PSN, but I prefer physical copies.

The brightness of some themes and wallpapers made it difficult to read the light colored text. As for your suggestion of adding trophy count to the blank part of the boxes, I thought I had once read that was going to be part of the new friend list, a feature that I believe would make the new friend list shine. I hope Sony will have the good sense to allow us to use Home avatars as our profile avatar as well.

Yeah, I was disappointed with the way the new friend list looks too. At least this way, it makes the light text easier to see when you have a very light/bright wallpaper or theme.

Sev, they added a screenshot feature to the internet browser too.

6130d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

This struck me as odd and I hope someone else can confirm if it happened to them: I dowloaded the update quickly, slow install like #3 said. After the install, my slim reset completely, went to another screen that said "Updating database." After this I went to the new XMB...and I cannot sign into PSN.

BTW, just noticed a new copy thing for when you are typing. Nice.
WHOA! Save screen shot and print this screen added to the web browser. Seems faster download...

My 80GB MotorStorm received the YLOD. It was a rather loud and heat intensive unit. I sold it on eBay and saved up for the "slim" and I must say I love it. Smaller, lighter, cooler and whisper-quiet. Also, the wi-fi seems to have been improved. What made me leave the XBOX 360 and stay with the PS3 even after a system failure is Sony's strong software library and future games to come. While having a Wii or XBOX has benefits in their own right, they do not compare to the value I...

This game is a blatant rip-off of God of War from the HUD, QTE and the gameplay. They even took the idea of controlling the larger creatures as tanks (i.e. Kratos riding and manipulating a cyclops). However, I find the art direction, especially for the hero, to be found wanting. Still, I will more than likely buy this as well as Dead Space, not for their originality, but their solid gameplay.

Are Xbox fanboys incredibly stupid? I don't condone fanboyism, but it seems most PlayStation fanboys at least add intelligence and wit to their bashing; 360 fanboys sound as though their minds haven't progressed beyond pre-pubescence and make themselves look quite pitiable. I'm surprised they know how to turn their computers on, much less use a keyboard and mouse to find this website. I suppose their caretakers do it for them. lol

When they said "niche" I thought Viva Pinata, but that's impossible. When you suggested Braid, that is what made the most sense to me, considering it definitely falls under the category of "360 favorite."

Honestly, I wish the PS3 would get a port of Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Plainwalkers. I foolishly sold all of my cards for $20 in a yardsale and I need my fix!
