Well much as I dispute the figure, in the UK, Dixons is the largest high street retail electrical store. The kind of place where you go to buy your electronics if you don't really know much about electronics... :)

Which is what makes the figure somewht irrelvant..but none the less, in the UK, people know and understand what Dixons is about.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you!

There will not be another sku - they've created quite enough confusion with the models they have without making any more confusion. With the exception of the backwards compatability (and the memstick reader), all the models have maintained the basic PS3 spec - blu ray, Wifi, wireless controllers, HDD, blu tooth.
They will not releasea sku with one of these features removed - the small cost bennifit would be offset by the huge conf...

Wow! Story out of nothing! Its simply a typo and nothing to be too excited about :)

It's astonishing to me that country that gives the world hollywood movies, where women are routinely objectified and the 'heroes' solve everything with a gun, should be so outraged by the sight of half a pixilated tit in the context of a mutual relationship!

US culture has gone mad, and the rest of the world is right behind it! :)

I think this just highlights the modern trait of wishing to judge and jump to conclussions without having a solid understanding of wha...

What terrible article! It should never have been approved, some of the sentances hardly make any sense, and its simply a rebuttal without any kind of information or proof ta all.

Its highly likely that the two versions will be very similar and that the poor quality images we all saw in an earlier story are not actually representitive of the finished article.

But as many have pointed out, when the game is this bad anyway, I'm not sure many people care....

What - for being newsworthy?

I could not believe the lengths people go to to censor news stroies they don't like. Its utterly pathetic and I happily gave this story the last approval it needed to be published. I do the same to any piece of contentious news for the wii or PS3 too - as long as the site didn't look fake. Its news. Is it true? I don't know, but its a story and its not obviously a fake.

If you wish to tell me why this is against news guidelines, I'll ...

You people are all fully fuc*ed up!!!

This is a gaming site, and just because the majority of socially inbred keyboard warriors on this site want to fight a phoney war over a piece of electrical equipment, doesn't give then a right to dictate what is and isn't gaming news.

The DS is the biggest game machine in the industry right now - but its hardly 'next gen' is it? Yet its an incredibly important machine for the buisness and driving global sales and people have...

@Jason 360

Its not actually the way you piant it at all. Most games players are just that - they like games and don't particularly wish to hate anyone at all. As with most things its the very vocal minority that spoil it for the vast majority who wouldn't mind a balanced conversation if they didn't fear they would immediately get attcked for no conforming to some pathetic web warriors ideal.

The internet has been a wonderful resource for human kind - but it has i...

Attach rates - I keep saying it and I'll say it again.

Go check out the weekly sales figures at VGchartz and figure out the attach rates for yourself.
PS3 attach rates are higher. Thats a fact for the last 6 weeks - I've not looked furtehr back than that.

Don't just disagree 'cause you want it to be true, go and look for yourself. anyone claiming 360 owners buy more games on average than PS3 owners is living in a fantasy world.

You want to...

If they were going to cut a price that would be the time to do it.

however this is just a rumour from an unamed source. We've had a lot MS fanboys on this site predicting a price cut for a while, but that wasn't news!

I had heard that further cuts were not likely, as there was presure on the division to actually make some cash. Given that Sony's costs are continyually falling, and they would likey respond, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense if you do a finan...

Wow! Look at all the 360 trolls crawling out of the woodwork for this story! lol
The only thing they've been able to spin and lie about for while... so why not sharpen the claws and come and scratch a few sony droids eh?

It's become an interesting spectator sport now - I despise you all, but theres really no point in trying to bite anymore.

The sad thing is, all these usual suspects have built such a reputation for unreasonable trolling and lying, that if...

4 minutes of purile back slapping and talking about Britney Spears before they even start talking about games.

This whole podcast sounds like the worst kind of whooping dudes you could ever want to overhear a conversation from...maybe this stuff goes down as being cool in the U.S., maybe not, but its definately naff here. I've hit 8 minutes and theres no useful insight or comment yet. Click. Its off - I'm not gonna listen to that purile nonsense again.

I thought this game sucked - and I rather liked the previous titles depite their medicroty.
Wasn't aware of the despicable 'pay to play' rubbish that more and more developers are trying to get away with.
The save corrupt bug is the cherry on top of the turd.

@ lesferdinand

Theres no point in trying to argue with this guy, he's far to wrapped up in his own feeling of superior viewpoint to listen to an alternative view. As a long time developer myself, I tried to take issue with him bleating on about the same nonsense in another thread, but he just goes on rehashing the same pointless statements like he never heard at all.
Of course clever game design is all about what you choose to spend your limited resources on, and you a...

I thought I'd add a little more info into the fires of speculation on possible releases dates!

I'm a digital games artist/animator and have been for 15 years. I now take on freelance contracts and work remotely from the dev studios, and have done for a few years.

I was approached just before xmas, for a rush contract to finish off the environments for KZ2. It was a three month contract and I was led to believe that time pressure meant they were very keen to get t...

@crunchie - totally agree with you mate.
All I hear on a 1up podcast is a bunch of opinionated gamers, exactly what you'd expect. If there's a particular bias, its hard to see where it lies. I often strongly disagree with their views on a title, but you have to expect that!

With the games they have had, a real gamer can't afford not to have a 360 - in addition to a PS3
RROD are of course much discussed, but I was shocked to read comments with regard to the Engineering Quality Assurance. It's not made clear if this is refering to the initial production phases, or is still applicable to the current manufacturing process. You would hope that having the issues they have had, MS would see the long term value in investing in serious QA to ensure there were no m...
