ThePlayStationShow.com Staff writer Rich Cochnar takes a comedic look at the PlayStation Yellow Light of Death and tries to find the silver lining in it all.
Richard Cochnar wrties: "No one is safe from hardware malfunctions. Even The PlayStation Show’s own BSmith has fallen victim to the PS3’s affectionately named Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). Much like the system-killing Red Ring of Death that afflicts Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s YLOD will leave you without a system for around a month, and sometimes even cost you 120 American Euros to have repaired. However, unlike the Xbox’s malady, the Yellow Light of Death is easily preventable. What follows is a guide to ensure that you are never without your console."
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Good thing I have a slim.
''Since PlayStation 3’s currently do not come bundled with an HDMI cable''
Hmm, no.
Haha this article is ftw.
"Now I’m not suggesting that you pee on your PS3, simply that you pee in the place where your console usually sits."
My 60GB broke down last week and I feel a little dead inside. :(
On the bright side though, I have started my exams so now I have no real distractions. Plus it'll only cost £30 to get fixed, keeping my data. :DDD
Easily preventable my arse. The PS3 Phats have an issue just like the 360 with solder heating and cooling until it breaks. I've seen it first hand on more than one occasion and both times it cost the owner $120 to get it fixed.
Unless this damage control tells you not to turn your PS3 on or don't play it for more than a couple of hours at a time it's full of it. The machines I saw die were kept in pristine condition and in a well ventilated space.
