Surely there would be some advantage to selling a PS3N for $179 (say, with a 250GB hard drive and wi-fi), and selling the Blu-ray drive as a $199 add-on. The base unit, which would play all PSN titles (and would be a LOT smaller and quieter!), would still compare favorably to an Xbox Arcade (which of course doesn't have a hard drive OR wi-fi at that price) at the $179 price point, and the $399 "bundle" would still have Blu-Ray and would still play all the existing PS3 disc games. So...
Everything looks too shiny. Not like the real deal, which is claymation. Also is it true that the voice actor that does Wallace is not participating? Fail!
...my PS3. Xbox games tend to look a little more contrasty (I believe it's the gamma default set by the graphics hardware that's doing that), and Xbox seems to have a little sharpening applied in the final video signal-processing stage (as you may have noticed if you've played around with an HDTV's "Sharpen" options, it increases the "video-like" quality of on-screen animations and movies). I decided I could live with graphics that are as close as the PS3's are to the Xbox...
It's fairly impressive, but ran a little too slowly on my test machine, which had a 3 GHz (Hyper-threaded) P4. Turning off the sound and enabling all of the "Speed Hacks" yielded the best results. I fooled around with setting the resolution lower but ended up reverting to the "Native" PS2 resolution, with little slowdown. Turning off the sound definitely produced the biggest benefit. I'd like to see this ported to the PS3's Linux. Note that the compatibility list on the PC...
Dressing up like Helghast might get you by the security desk, but you'll get your ass handed to you by the staff of the mail room.
...so killing him in cold blood right there on the spot just seemed the right thing to do. The trophies, er, cupcakes, were delicious, though.
...maybe you have that type of bad taste where "bad tastes good." That 50 Cent game is crap on so many levels, starting with the appallingly stupid "$10 million dollar diamond-encrusted skull" premise.
Even with the latest 6.1 version of Yellow Dog (which is pretty cool, in that allows access to the "other" 256MB bank of RAM!), performance is still hampered by the limited RAM available, it seems. And, of course, I wish the GPU could be accessed. Still, the ability to add a big external hard drive, swap out the internal hard drive for a different one, and do stuff like this is part of the reason why I chose a PS3 in the first place. That, and awesome games, of course.
and lists it as "Adult" LOL.
it's the least "stiff" sounding of any of the pieces, and the animation is a nice touch. I'm impressed with the Beethoven one for sheer technical brilliance, of course. I hope these don't run afoul of the Sony copyright cops. That AC/DC logo is clearly a trademark.
Guinness jumped the shark long ago.
(...the "cloud computing" version of Windows) will be made open source by 2012, probably under a license like the Apache license. This way, Microsoft could take this little-known set of technologies and turn them from an "also-ran" cloud offering into a major disruptive force in the "war in the clouds" that many analysts believe is looming. MSFT needs something like this to gain mindshare in areas it cares deeply about: hetrogeneous enterprise computing and High ...
and I agree that YDL i the way to go. Easier setup, better support for wireless network, PS3 bluetooth, etc., plus support for all 512MB RAM. There are more tutorials specific to PS3 for it, as well. Adding repositories with links to PS3-friendly binaries for MP3 and movie playback and whatnot is pretty much required if you want to install apps beyond those on the DVD. Aside from a slight hassle re-initializing the game controller after booting back to Game OS (apparently caused by the Blueto...
...there were several "promotes piracy" comments. That may be true, but I'm interested in this purely from a convenience standpoint. Bring on the US version!
...playing around with all the great exploits that allow you to fly your couch around the bay (there's a "You really shouldn't be able to read this..." sign out there!), put furniture up on the roof, climb up onto the globe or the couch in the Uncharted Artifact room, walk around on the railing or walk on the water in the mall, dance on the bar in Sully's, and so on. And all the people who help each other learn these cool tricks are really helping to build a fun community atmosphere...
Dear Summary "writer" [sic]:
Perhaps you meant to write "Whey back when...."
Then, your spelling atrocities would have been nothing less than a masterpiece of FAIL.
"Way back when Sony decided to wet are appetites with there..." is possibly the worst sentence ever.
Clearly a reference to LittleBigPlanet.
There are two sentences out of thirteen that relate to the title. The others are wholly extraneous. Every story on that site seems to be that way. Are the stories edited by humans at all? It looks suspiciously like a bot assembles that stuff from Google "News" feeds.
Rubbish.
I love the fact that you can buy an original Xbox for $49 (last time I looked, at least). The amount they give you for a trade may not be much, but they have to box it up, retail it, support it with at least a short warranty. And we, the consumerd, can pick it up for next to nothing. Add XBMC and one has a fun little media center.
I would love to see a game that allowed playing virtual chamber music. Some of that music is devishly complex and incredibly sophisticated -- hence its continuing popularity over hundreds of years. Before you hit disagree, consider how popular Mozart (for just one example) is in "serious" music circles. It would be so cool if you could hook up with, say, 100 other people over the internet to form a virtual orchestra.
