great offer, going to check it out

NewsForSnowflakes4709d ago

6 months seems generous to me.

I didn't think we were getting this freebie in the UK.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4709d ago (Edited 4709d ago )

This has been going on for weeks. Most of the songs you can only listen to for 30 seconds in the basic subscription. Still the service is really neat. I'd actually pay for premium.

My bad. Didn't know the article was talking about UK. It's been going on in the U.S. for a while now.

Kurisu4709d ago

30 seconds? That sucks, haha. But it's free so I will try it out. Plus I have an Xperia Play, so I will download the app from the Android Market.

KwietStorm_BLM4709d ago

Can anybody get the sign up to work without the connection failing?

Kon_Artist 4709d ago

go turn off the "ask for password before check out" in account management. after you thats turned off it should work.

KwietStorm_BLM4709d ago

Really? What kind of... Anyway thanks

nevin14709d ago

does it work for PSP aswell?

and lol at 30 seconds. whats is the point of 180 days of listening to 30 seconds of music?

I dont care if it is free.

also, I can stream music from youtube via PS3. Even yahoo music allowed to stream music for free.( I don't know if it still works)

plmkoh4709d ago

Yes it works for all Sony products with the service including the PSP.

The 30second limitation is for basic members, the 180day trial is for premium access so you can listen to the full song as well as access the cloud service where you can upload your own mp3 and access it over the internet.

I really didn't know how awesome this service was until I tried it, really good quality sound and selection of songs. I think I will sign up for it after the free trial.

dumahim4709d ago

Are you sure? I fired it up the other day and while trying to track down some music I wanted, it was only playing for 30 seconds. The stuff that played under the genre catergories played fine, but it was 98% garbage. It took about 15 minutes of skipping tracks until I finally landed on a Pantera track I "liked"

I guess you can upload your own tracks, but then I realized it's just too much work for a 6 month trial. I'll just keep listening to music stored on my phone or use Pandora when I have a signal.

plmkoh4709d ago

Yes I am sure it is not limited to 30secs as I am using it now. When you log on to the service you get a message saying you have a free trial, which you can then accept.

If you are still limited to the 30seconds, it must mean that you didn't accept the trial or you are not eligible for it due to regions etc.

IMO the music selection is great, I mostly listen to Jazz/classical and they have included many recordings from both contemporary and older artists, which is excellent.

Top 5 Most Realistic Games

A list of the most realistic games available.

iamnsuperman4496d ago

number 4 ,in my eyes, is a total kick in the groin. Total dis service to the whole tactical genre.

I can't decide if the list was based on what games look realistic or what games are realistic.

3GenGames4496d ago (Edited 4496d ago )

Battlefield is a FPS primarily that requires teamwork and tactics to win. Doesn't mean it did a dis-service to the tactical genre, it just means none of the tactical genre games were good enough to beat it. Pretty accurate, IMO. Everything in the game is spot on physics and realism-wise. Of course there's some thing that can't be to have a good game, but deal with it.

TooTall194496d ago

Stopped watching after I saw his first 2 choices. What a joke he thinks Battlefield 3 is realistic. It can be tactical, but certainly doesn't need to be played that way in order to succeed.

3GenGames4496d ago

You'll totally be able to win planting 0 bombs in rush or capturing 0 points in conquest, not ever flanking or getting behind people to do said things if your teammates can't. Good luck with that, you've just never played the game right. I also bet you haven't won, either.

TooTall194496d ago

http://battlelog.battlefiel...

Actually I have won a game doing nothing but lone-wolf running and gunning. In fact, I've won quite a few games doing my own thing. I've also been in the top 3 (out of 24) about 28% of the time.

Ejecting from a jet, shooting another jet with a rocket launcher while in mid-air, and then landing back in your jet is NOT realistic. It's fun, but that's not the point of this top 5.

h311rais3r4496d ago

compared to many other games it is realistic. sure there goofy shit u can do but come one. u know why u won lone wolfing? the other team wasnt working as a team or even cared about winning. COD kiddies just want kills

TooTall194496d ago

Okay then 60% of BF3 players don't use tactics is what you're saying. And that's on "hardcore" servers even.

Just because it's more realistic than some other games doesn't mean it deserves to be in a top 5 list.

ExCest4496d ago (Edited 4496d ago )

You know why you do well? You don't die. You know why? You don't play the objective. Just killing scrubs that can't fight back because they have more important things to do. Like PTFO.

You're one of those people who run up to the bomb, kill everyone, and then run away so you don't die. Without planting/defusing. I hate those people. Don't play BF3 if you're going to do that. Play COD and don't give BF3 a bad name.

Now I sound mean but seriously...

BTW your Battlelog isn't impressive. You lone wolf it but dude, it's fairly unimpressive. I do better by playing the objective. (But I've been sniping recently so I haven't helped the team too much.)

After looking at your Battlelog. You lie. You do play the Objective.

TooTall194496d ago (Edited 4496d ago )

Yes you are right. Your 1.74 W/L ratio and 8 more hours of playtime is so much better than my terrible 1.53 W/L ratio... That's a whopping 3%

Of course I play the objective! Look at my original comment. I go in Rambo-style and take the objectives, cause half of your team is doing their own thing away from the objective.

ExCest4496d ago

Then name a game that is huge (in a sense that everyone will play) and is also tactical. Nowadays, people like the fast-paced action of FPS so it would be boring if BF3 was all tactical. Everyone would be too cautious and sit back and not die. EVER. Tactical requires a captain who can plan everything but if that happens, it won't be fun because you won't be doing your thing, but instead someone else's.

lorianguy4496d ago (Edited 4496d ago )

For #3, I'd say GT5 is more realistic than Forza. Simply because it is a simulator and puts realism before fun, whereas Forza is very fun but not as realistic as GT5.

I know his list wasn't going to include simulators, but you need them for a realistic game, no?

Series_IIa4496d ago

It's obvious that you nor him have heard of rFactor...

lorianguy4496d ago

Just checked it out. It looks very nice indeed. :)

But I still think GT5 is more realistic.

(Or if you can find a good gameplay video of it, I might change my mind. I don't have much time to look for myself I'm afraid.)

RXL4496d ago

Realistic feeling = if you switch out a mag...you don't get to keep the bullets in the previous mag you just threw away = no games out that are THAT realistic

should've just named this "Games i think are fun and kind of, almost, not really realistic"

Ducky4496d ago

There are games that are smart about weapon reloading.
RedOrchestra is one that I can name off the top of my head, and it isn't even a military sim.

Slugg3r4496d ago

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising did this, although I'd say it gets annoying to use the left overs of your ammo belts when you run out of fresh ones.

ninjahunter4496d ago

There was a game called like swat or something i played along time ago. You start with 4 mags, one in your gun, 3 spares. If you reloaded You would keep the mag but it might only have 1-2 bullets left. Of course that game somewhat tanked it for obvious reasons.

MaximusPrime4496d ago

Well that's Gamersheep's opinion. Respect.

Police Target Xbox Users for Stakeouts, Console Searches

First, it was computers. Then it was cell phones. And now? It's gaming consoles.

Hacktivist group Anonymous recently targeted the email account of a cybercrimes investigator with the California Department of Justice. That hack netted a treasure trove of information related to police use of Xbox and other gaming consoles.

The practice is apparently becoming more and more common.

Microsoft must put an end to this ,cause now they will have allowed these scumbags to even listen in on those who are innocent. Sounds like invasion of privacy.
