Come on guys we need to mount a challenge on behalf of N4G! I know there are more PS3 owners out there who call this site home so why not join up and help a good cause and promote the site at the same time?
The N4G Team Id is 61588

We have a long way to go to be true contenders to Kotaku but we can'...
I would not mind however I have found it best to just ignore people like this because all they are doing it for is a reaction and if you give them that reaction it only end up encouraging them to do it more.
At least we have the bubble system and the ignore fuction now so its alot better then it was.
What your doing is running simulations of protiens folding. This is something that occurs in the human body all the time. However sometimes when these protiens fold they mess up and that's what scientist suspect is causing things like cancer, and other diseases. Thus by running simulations of protiens folding under certain situations they can look for and hopefully identify what is causing the protien folding to mess up. Once that is identified then they can use that to then find ways to ...
As some of you may or may not know there are actually teams for the Folding@Home project. I decided since this is my home for PS3 news and info that it would be cool to start a n4g.com team. Lets see how well we can do as a team! I thought it would be a good way to promote the site and help strengthen the PS3 community here with us all on a team.
If your interested in joining the team all you need to do is once you start Folding@home press the triangle button and then select i...
If its just a larger hard drive then no I would not be upset. Especially since Sony has allowed all PS3 owners the ability to upgrade the hard drive in both PS3 SKU at a much more affordable price then MS. MS 120GB HDD $179 where you can get a 120GB drive for the PS3 for about $80.
If however Sony came out with an SKU that allowed those owners to have a better viewing experience for games and other media then my existing PS3 then yes I would be upset.
The other...
I hope this sets a new standard. Being able to preorder and actually get your console of choice at release is good. Being able to walk in on opening day even if you didn't preorder and pick up a system is even better. Profiteering and other negative crap that have happened in previous launchs should no longer be tolerated.
The PS3 hard drive is removable just like in a PC. You can upgrade it with any off the shelf 2.5" Notebook HDD.
you could name any development studio that has developed games for Sony on the PS2 but is not doing so for the PS3 because its so hard to develop for.

If they are not going to even bother to say who is saying this crap then no one should take it seriously.
Yes the PS3 is harder to develop for then the 360. Sony and developers have already stated this so this is not news. However the PS3 is also easier to develop for then the PS2 was and Sony has made real efforts at providing developers with better tools and resources this time around. Also this time around Sony is allowing for developers to create smaller games like Flow t...
But who is this guy? Why am I suppost to care what he thinks? I wish we would stop posting all these so called analyst predictions. Which ever side the analyst says will win quotes it as gospel and the other denouces it as horse pucky.
I would much rather hear the thoughts of actual developers who make games for a living then some pencil neck geek who has no stake in the industry at all. As we have all seen numbers can be twisted every which way to support both sides of the...
How Insomniac is not a independent Studio that happens to choose only to design games for Sony when it really is. Not to mention Insomniac has done very well by making awesome games for the Playstation over time and its nice to see a independent studio decide to stay loyal to a company that has treated them well. The humorous thing about this is that if Insomniac decided to make a game for the 360, the 360 camp would be crowing about it. The other interesting thing is that even Mark Reins o...
Interesting that you don't actually challenge anything he says with fact or sound reasoning but instead attack his crediblity. Funny that you did not questions Microsoft Ozymandias credibility for his blog entry on the PS3 use of memory?

I went back and reread the actual article and it stated.
"A Playstation 3 advertisement which appeared on the CNA website claimed that “The PS3 is built on the revolutionary cell-processor, which is 8 times more powerful than most computers” and that the “RSX Graphics Technology – twice as powerful as the most advanced computer graphics engine available today.”"
The offending website can be found here.
I know my console Thammer1. I actually own one do you? So don't tell me to know my console its insulting when you yourself dont even have one. Colors look just fine on my PS3 and I have no issues with framerates for the games I own. Perhaps the framerate issues are more an issue with developers actually programing the software to run properly then the console itself. Oblivion by all accounts looks better and has better framerates then the 360. This because the developers took the time to...
I guess it would depend on what the 8 times more powerful is refering to. If its everything a computer can do then no but there are areas where the PS3 has proven to be that powerful compared to average PC's all one has to do is look at the Folding@home project to see this is true for that particular program.

The problem is simple: the two links you provided were opinions, just like mine. I don't need to read about the difference beetween dvd and blu-ray/hd-dvd because I've seen it in person, and I was not blown away.
Except those two opinions are from people who make a living reviewing video equipment so they have a bit more credibility then just your word. I also own 2 HDTV's and I can definately say I can see a huge difference. Watched Casino Royal on Blu-Ray on a 61" Sams...
Your serioulsy going to argue that there is no noticable differents between viewing 720×480 vs 1920×1080 on a HDTV?
"We have used several 720p resolution projectors for our initial look at HD-DVD and the results are beyond any expectation I had. Our associate Bill read my mind when he said "After seeing this it will be hard to look at standard DVD again.""

Not sure why everyone is harping on the installing part. The game did not fully install on the HDD. It was not his problem or his main complaint. First time you run a game its going to take a min or 2 to configure itself to run on the PS3. Game save are all done via the HDD now so that has to be set up when you first start the game. Additionally I would imagine the PS3 is also checking to insure its an authentic game and not pirated.
His problem was that the game was sayin...
