The new rumble controller costs $99 Australian - that is $92 USD.

I thought Sony promised a rebate to replace these replacement controllers. What a rip off.

Kojima is disappointed with it (and he would know). And, looking at the screenshots:

Do you see any particle effects (dust, smoke, smog, dew, fog)? Nope. Do you see any light reflections? nope. Are their multiple light sources? nope. The game is good looking sure, but not great -- be *honest* with yourself. Its good, not great.

I ho...

Right. After sending out the wrong codes. Then having your beta-login servers crash. Then having your Game-servers crash.

I'm *sure* everything will be just fine when they release the game into the *largest* market.

Beta != Alpha.

If this is any indication, Konami is in for a world of hurt. But, as history has shown, Konami has serious problems with online-games.

Just so you people know, the colours in most NASA photos are enhanced. They over-lay the observations from multiple frequencies and introduce colour to provide a visible context to the viewer.

So, uhm, no. And, this is duplicate froma couple days ago.

Dude, Konami has been stumbling from clusterfcuk to clusterfcuk.

They shipped fcuked-up Beta Keys.
Then the Beta key server collapsed.
Now, people cant start games, as the multiplayer servers have all melted down.

Try and get a grip. This is an unquestioned clusterfcuk. Dont pretend.

After all the beta code clusterfcuk and the servers crashing, I thought this was funny:

The Wii lacks in far more than just graphics.

Physics, AI, network play for starters.

The Wii isnt just a graphics lightweight. It is giving Wii too much credit to say so.

The Wii is one thing: Gimmick.

If (when..) Sony and/or Microsoft releases a motion control, they'll start to drink Wii's 3rd party milkshake.

There is a lot of advantages to Vista:

Thanks for the links.

That is just staggering to look at. The volumetric lighting and particle effects (dawn in the rail yard - wow).

Think of it this way: Niko Bellic has his own Zune, playing whatever music you like.

It could be related to the PS3's memory/CPU requirements for these functions.

Distributing DLC from within the game is a function of the Xbox 360's OS. While, in the case of the PS3, it is not. Additional memory and CPU resources could possibly have been required for the PS3 to do this.

A great discussion on these matters can be found here:

Cicinho:

Custom soundtracks are a function of the Xbox 360's Guide, a part of the OS.

Microsoft doesnt force developers to put them in Xbox 360 games. They are there because of the design of the machine.

I agree. Though, Im not disappointed that a GTAIV isnt being used to sell music-tracks.

It would have been interesting to discover new music, but Im not upset it is gone.

I'll be satisfied with the R* supplied music, and when that gets boring, I'll switch to my Custom Soundtracks.

I subscribe to some RSS feeds for small-label MP3s and they automatically put new music on my home's media server, I'll just play that in the game - or my favorites.

I think we're ok without having GTAIV be a method to buy music. It doesnt bother me a bit.

Custom Soundtracks are universally available on the Xbox 360.

Uhm, this makes no sense.

IF Best Buy was offering this "service" for Xbox 360 games, wouldnt it make vastly more sense to offer the same "service" for PS3?

Something tells me this story is, uhm, shenanigans.

Perhaps someone moved stickers from somewhere else and pasted them there? Did they intentionally omit what must be the same serivce for PS3? Where is the Best Buy offers a "service" to replace your PS3 HD articl...
