"Your home movie viewing analogy is simply wrong."

No, the same thing is still happening here. Someone is still enjoying something for free without paying for it, there is no difference.

Lets go under the assumption for a minute that everybody would have bought the movie in the first place. This guy who just bought a blu-ray copy of the dark knight over to his house and has a viewing party, well every single one of those people were potential cust...

Piracy isn't theft.

The definition of theft is to TAKE (keyword here being TAKE, which means someone steals something, and then that certain something is GONE, which is why piracy cannot be called theft, because the original copy is still there).

It may not be moral, but it is most definitely not theft.

And sorry, cochise313, but not everyone can buy everything they want, some people have to spend all their money on things they need and h...

Sony should have given some form of compensation to those with PS3 phats. When I bought a ps3 on launch day, I bought it for the vast amount of features it had, and OtherOS was one of those features I liked and bought it for. It wasn't the main reason, but it definitely factored into me paying 600 bucks for the ps3. If I would have known that Sony was going to remove the feature I paid extra for later on, I would have just waited for a price drop.

The least Sony could ...

Illegal =/= immoral

Not saying piracy is moral, but you're a complete moron if you think everything that is illegal is also immoral.

Bulletstorm has co-op though, which I prefer these days over competitive mp.

I played the KZ3 beta and honestly, I found it to be even more boring then KZ2 (which I did like). It just felt too similar to every other FPS. If I had to choose, I'd choose Bulletstorm, mainly because it's fresh, different, and doesn't take itself too seriously. And it actually has color.

I don't know what these people who say Killzone is tactical are going on about, there's nothing really that tactical about it. Every KZ2 match I've been in, it ...

"none of the guns were overpowered"

The M60 says hi.

5632d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Not to mention those f*cking bradleys. Those are probably the most unbalanced thing about that game, and need to be completely removed from the game.

The other normal tanks are fine though, but the bradley definitely needs to go, or at least be modified so it can't shoot automatic shells.

And yeah, the medic class with an m60 was as you put it, the rambo jesus class, but they patched the m60 and had it nerfed a bit.

"Remember the Indie Bundle that Wolfire was selling at the "pay what you want" price scheme?"

Yeah, but that wasn't nearly as popular as any console game would be. If console games dropped by like 20 bucks, you would see a LOT more people buying games.

I've actually considered buying another PS3 just to try out a few games that don't have demos (I don't really have the option of renting), and if I liked them, I'd buy ...

65 to fix the laser. You have to pay for shipping though. Still not as bad as having to pay 150.

You could attempt to do it yourself as Ceekay suggests, but would you really want to risk breaking something inside the ps3 or causing some kind of static shock unknowingly caused by you which messes your ps3 up beyond repair?

If you feel confident enough disassembling your ps3 and making sure you don't break anything and are in the right environmental condi...

I'd buy that.

Don't try to replace it yourself, you could damage your ps3. Go to the electronics spa on ebay (they're a top rated seller), they only charge 65 bucks to replace the laser for you (you have to pay shipping though).

I sent mine there and it's been fixed and I'm currently waiting for it to come back.

The controls in GTA4 were absolutely terrible. Your character felt like he was wearing a backpack full of bricks, and a ball & chain around his ankles. Not to mention the driving controls sucked complete @ss.

Saints Row 2 is MUCH better than GTAIV, and the only thing that GTA4 has over SR2, is graphics, which lets be honest here people, nobody plays a GTA game for the gfx.

Saints Row 2 is a better Grand Theft Auto game than GTA4.

"what makes you think that? cause it has multiplayer?"

No, I think it's just now they can justify it at that price, since everybody else is doing it. I remember when most PSN games used to be 10 bucks, but then a few of them started a trend and made them 15.

Doesn't matter though, this will almost certainly be worth more than 15 bucks, so I'm buying it day one.

Be careful, your controller could stop working. This was probably just a very rare occurence for me, but my controller was f*cked up after using it on my pc.

Now, it only works when it's plugged in through the usb cable. It wont work wirelessly at all, I've tried replacing the battery with one that I know works, and it was still messed up. Also tried pressing that reset button in the back of the DS3, but that didn't do anything either.

Maybe I&...

MotionJoy doesn't really make a difference, Thanatos. I tried MotionJoy on several titles with my DS3, and they all felt clunky and inaccurate compared to the ps3 versions of the game.

Having your ps3 sent off to have the laser fixed is MUCH cheaper than buying a new ps3.

Uncharted 1 was definitely underrated.

Uncharted 2 was definitely overratedd.

"You don't know the basic layout of a keyboard? What are you typing on right now? If anything a keyboard is more streamlined than a controller. For FPS, the main buttons fit to your hand."

Yeah, I do know the basic layout of a keyboard, it's just not that easy to place your 3 fingers on WASD without looking. And more streamlined my a$$. All that's required for me to actually move with a controller is ONE THUMB. Not having 3 fingers assigned to one ver...

I've had a gaming rig for about a year now (built it myself), and I find it hard to enjoy any game besides WoW.

I absolutely HATE keyboard and mouse controls, they're so damn uncomfortable and it's like I have to concentrate on the controls rather than the actual game, like making sure my fingers don't get repositioned and have to look at my keyboard again to get them in the right position.

Sure, you can use controllers on a PC, but they'r...
