CRank: 5Score: 6720

I have two 360's in my house (so I can play my kid); however, I am the Sony fan in the house. If I didn't have those 360's, I should not have to invest more money in a faulty piece of equipment (even though only one of mine has broken down...and funny enough... the one that has not had any problems is the one I have had since the 360 launch... go figure). These are options that should have been available from the get-go at launch.... regardless as to whether or not the network service was f...

Sony will piss off a lot of fans if they don't make these simple things mandatory for game inclusion. I personally don't use the ingame music funtion on some games and really could care less about that. I like being able to hear what is going on in the game (ie COD4 when you hear someone moving close around you, etc). But to each his/her own. As far as trophies/"achievements&am p;qu ot; (whatever they finally decide to call them)... this should not be an option to not include them in...

Agreed... this response is irrelevant since there was no firm denial. I personally would buy the game again just to support the PS3 even though I played it on the 360. Not sure what the "extras" are supposed to be for I only remember one DLC that was extra ability injections. I actually loved the game and am looking forward to the sequel.

People aren't standing in line if this is the same kind of "promotional gimmicks" they did for Halo 3. You get there and stand initially in a short line to get a number and that is it. Then you can go around to the festivities until release time comes around and they call the numbers in batches and you pick up your reserved copy. The entire parking lot of the shopping center was blocked off and the event was all outside. You can't usually buy a copy at that time if you haven't p...

You are wasting your breath "QQ". This discussion about piracy has been beat to death and you can not reason with immature thieves who try to rationalize their felony behavior by any means they can so they can still feel good about themselves with no moral implications. The "stick it to the man because they are to you" is getting old and the jacking of prices has nothing to do with greed. They are simply recouping development costs so they can make their profits so they...

This is absolutely assinine that this attempt at an article got approved in its present form. It is just a rumor and as such should have that in the title... not in the small print. Even if there is a small problem with the 40GB models, which I have never heard of any from any of my friends that have one... I doubt it is anywhere as big as the article tries to imply. Just another attempt by fanboys to try to give the PS3 a problem as massive as the 360 Hardware failure rates. N4g needs to...

No one is referring to just this game so if you want to bring poor judgement into the picture for someone whom a lot of people follow for gaming news and trust...go ahead. You as a contributor should uphold a certain amount of ethics in what you write (type). But I guess since you are behind just a user name with a certain amount of anonymity... ethics truly are not your forte'. You are very eloquent and always have been as I have seen how you try to reword and twist anything to your adva...

Oh that's convenient Fishy.... yes what is wrong with stealing a game here or there when there are people dying over oil and the country harbouring all that oil isn't paying a cent to defend it. That is the beauty of logic... you can twist it to justify anything in your mind. Could care less if you download the game, movies, etc... but it is wrong and you are wrong trying to say it doesn't affect us who actually pay for the game. We are the ones who will in the end have to pay higher pric...

Meus... having read your articles over time... I would have expected a little more ethics from you... WOW... guess I was wrong. Yeah...guess you are right... what is wrong with stealing a million dollars from a company.... try going into a bank and doing it.

Oh boo hoo.... disagree all you like.... it is still theft and usually it is a bunch of whiny, jobless teens or young adults who are doing this who need to be put in prison so they don't have to worry about their next meal or ...

FishyFingers: ... it isn't just GTA that is getting attention for pirating. That is a dimmed view of the problem as a whole. GTA is getting current publicity because it is a huge title that wasn't even released yet and a copy was available on the net. This is a Global problem that will in the end affect everyone. The countries that safe-harbour these websites due to lack of governmental regulations should be ashamed. Oh, and that little regulation everyone was so behind after 9-11 that a...

I find it amazing that anyone who loves games could do this to the developers who put so much time and money into making a piece of art that brings enjoyment (usually) to so many fans. I have read on many sites how some allegedly admitted downloaders rationalize their stance on downloading the game... some from just being cheap and wanting to steal a copy to some who actually try to rationalize it by stating that the game companies charge too much and are still making a fortune. How much mo...

It is not a hidden function. Simply a safety mechanism. When placed as shown in the video, the heat rises to a place where there are fewer vents... the fan kicks in to high gear to try to dispell the heat to no success... If you try this, don't do it for long or you will damage the electronic components even though I am sure the PS3 can stand a "little" heat for a limited time. This is why Sony stated that this is not a hidden "function" that they are aware of. Kind o...

I would not recommend doing this for an extended period of time. If you do this too long, you can damage the electronics the fan is trying to protect. It is not a flaw in the system that allows this but a programmed response to the increased heat that is rising while the PS3 is inverted. The PS3 is simply trying to get rid of the heat and keeps kicking up the fan speed until maxxed out. I tried this (since I have two 60G PS3), and I didn't notice alot of dust coming out; however I use vac...

I would buy that in a heartbeat. Could you imagine being able to play the PS3 anywhere. 16 pounds or not.... I'm there. Took him a year roughly to design and build...hummmm... Where do I sign up to get one.

Once again, fanboys are prevalent in another discussion that is not in reference to their console. I personally don't see what all the fuss is about. And yes (before you start in), I had the original Xbox console and own the 360 as well. I also own the PS3 (while I wasn't an actual huge fan of the PS2 or PS1). I only have a few original Xbox system games left and even though you might be able to play them...rarely have I encountered others playing when I have tried to play online with the...

Idiotic comments and assumptions abound by 360 fans. I personally am looking forward to this game and would have payed much more for even "prologue". This so-called "demo" has as much if not more than most racing games out thus far plus the detail is unmatched especially in resolution.

I am so looking forward to HOME releasing just as much as the next proud PS3 owner; but, I personally think this will have no effect. Sony is not sitting on a "finished" product. We have all seen how fast the media and some alleged fans are quick to judge any little deficiency. I think the closed BETA will suffice until the actual release date. As a new Sony fan, I am happy to wait for I don't want a buggy product. I am no programming expert, but I can only imagine how massivel...

You're kidding right? Some nut shoots his fam due to interrupting his game? You can not in your right mind blame video games for peoples mental disturbances. You see people all the time in the news trying to link violent outbursts with video games... and it is a crock. People who commit crimes and violent acts are already mentally disturbed... I guess Dalmer played pacman before killing. That is the problem with this country... everyone trying to lay the blame on someone else. Starting ...

Interesting... everyone is blaming the gentleman. Addictions happen for a reason and more often than not... it is not due to one deciding factor. It appears that only one side of the story is being portrayed... and in my experience, when there is a split in a relationship... it usually is not a nice split with more oft than not both parties badmouthing the other. I would venture to guess that these two had problems beforehand and they progressively got worse and the game provided an outlet...

Won't be a demo available.... at most... just a trailer...imo. Will have to check out the first two titles in the series to see what all the hype is.
