This guy has no idea what he's talking about or that his answer even technically makes sense.
We all know that "OtherOS" can't touch the PS3 OS. Why would Sony create a processor with 8 SPEs, then give 6 to the game (Known), 1 to the XMB (known), and 1 to a function you can't even use simultaneously?! If you had OtherOS running in some bastardized form it couldn't touch the PS3 OS, so what good is it running?
Now all of a sudden this hypothetical core is ...
Someone on the PS side says "Dedicated servers" to which the xbox supporters respond "but they shut them down!"
Nobody is saying that dedicated only is the way to go.
The ability to host your own game AND use dedicated servers is a huge feature. I can boot up pretty much any old multiplayer PC game and play on either a dedicated server or p2p.
So when the servers come down, you can still boot up your game and play against your frie...
In the paid DLC >.<
I really hope they include the guns in the American version; it'd be pretty cool. I just have this nagging feeling they're going to try to make it paid updates for the games.
Not all children in the hospital are under the age of 10
But then I did (Got a free copy from MSDN).
It's much better than Vista x64. I was running Business, and Media Center alone made it worth the jump. My TV Tuner works flawlessly now.
"lolz I'm gonna pirate it."
Don't you guys see that if you pirate the game, it shows you at least have an interest in their product? Even Microsoft said once that they prefer people to pirate their product rather than not use it at all.
Simply avoid the game.
When it's in the $10 bargain bin because nobody bought it, consider picking it up then. Not before. Show them that the price PC games sell at is less than $50.
PS3TrophyCard was actually stealing data from Sony. They were scraping the website, and as a website owner, Sony can stop that. It's not like Sony has an official API yet to get data, such as BF2 or other PC games. It's like if you were to write a script that downloaded every single picture on icanhascheezburger. They would certainly block you as soon as they noticed the traffic increase.
If PS3TrophyCard played by the rules Sony wouldn't have to kick them to the curb.

"Left4Dead was one of the best new IPs of last year, more critically and commercially successful than pretty much every other new IP. That's not exactly "comfort zone". The stuff that they're doing with TF2, the whole art direction of TF2 wasn't comfort zone. Pioneering digital distribution wasn't comfort zone."
While I'm not going to argue that L4D wasn't commercially successful, I'm going to argue that it's totally in their comfort zone. The whole thing is ...
My guess is the system will be called the Xbox 360: Move or something cheesy like that. Or perhaps a bad pun off their "Jump in!" slogan.
If you're considering buying this game, Newegg has it for $49.99 with free Egg Saver shipping (3-7 days)

I hadn't heard of this game until I saw Joystiq hyping the hell out of it. So I downloaded the demo, liked it A LOT. I had been considering buying Red Faction: Guerilla, but the demo of both convinced me to buy infamous first and pick up RF sometime later. Placed my order on Newegg the same day for $50 + free shipping.
I'm actually quite glad this game is selling well. This says to publishers that new games can actually be accepted and you don't have to crank out the yearly, m...
I agree, music has been going downhill for a while. Most of the artists played on the radio today sound like crap without enhancement. Throw in some repetitive tracks and you have a "song." While there's nothing wrong with electronic beats, they're significantly overused and seem like a replacement for real talent.
I'm also part of the crowd that thinks GH/RB has been detrimental to old music. Yes, I've heard some stuff I wouldn't have normally, but now every time I...
You can make optimizations to your operating system to not have it freeze. Identify the hardware/software that is causing issues, and either update the driver or software. I've found that Vista is very stable, but once you put crap like Adobe (the preloader and updater suck) and Nero (WMSIdle causes my logoffs to hang) it slows down your computer.
Alternatively you can save yourself $1000 by installing Linux or UNIX. Ubuntu runs on as little as 256MB of RAM, while Puppy Linux ...
Perhaps you didn't notice, but MS does give large amounts of their software for FREE or significantly reduced cost. You don't think that schools pay $399 per full copy of office, do you? They've got a war chest for subsidizing costs in certain places.
Look at it this way: If you can teach kids early that "this is the way you make a spreadsheet" they're not going to go anywhere else. They'll memorize the formulas, menu locations, etc., go into work one day and reques...
Apparently it was a big deal with the iPhone.
(I might get disagrees, but it's true. The feature people bashed the most on iPhone was copy/paste. It's getting that, meaning it's now like most other smartphones. Having copy and paste beats not having copy and paste).
I can say most people believe the 940 to be overpriced. You can get a 920 and overclock it to just about the same point as the 940. I've personally got my 920 running at 20x200 24/7 stable.
I'm not sure if the D0 steppings will change any of this. Supposedly they're going to be better overclockers.
12GB of DDR3 1600 is overkill if you're just going to be doing gaming. Corsair released some promo material showing a performance boost going from 3 to 6GB, but with 6...
Is only about $300-350 or so at newegg. If they buy a few of these I'm sure they can get a discount.
Those EVGA boards hold 12GB, but only because EVGA hasn't really tested enough 24GB configurations (they mentioned it somewhere in their forums).
Now the question to ask is: What do they do with their old stuff?
...World Editor that is.
I don't know what a codec is, even though it's probably my job. I believe bug fixes are bad and they shouldn't happen. Yet I probably run an operating system that gets patched 4-5 times per month."
This article was trash. I clicked on PC World because it wasn't gamer.blorge or any of that other trash that gets posted here, and now I think I prefer those other fanboy sites.
This is basically a MS internet cafe type deal. I know it's too much to ask to RTFA, but one poster on Slashdot compared this to Kinkos. They charge $0.40 per minute to use a terminal with MS Office so you can print something. This just allows you to use MS Office for extended periods of time for cheaper, without having to own MS Office on your home PC. You can use OO, then go on to one of these PCs and make sure OO saved the .doc without screwing the formatting.
For the game...
I would think the fix on existing machines would be simple -- give it new signing keys.
Even if the debug mode right now doesn't require keys, just special files, you can FW update the PS3 such that it searches for additional keys on the flash drive. This way Sony just makes up some new USB dongles for their repair centers to use, and everyone else is stuck there trying to figure out the key.
Until someone steals it again, at which point they just FW upd...
