We first saw the news over at Neogaf and Videogaming247.com and decided to post about it. Our friends over at TheSixthAxis have pointed it out that this particular news is fake."

I didn't think it was real myself, but It would have been nice for younger gamers and gamers who live by nominal means < like the people who buy Esteban guitars.

This is exactly why I didnt post that crap story.

If you look at the NeoGAF thread the article is referring to, its clearly a joke.

Its embarrassing that so many sites picked up on the news, when it was completely false.

3 - Edge dev tools?
Playstation 3 Edge is a dev tool demonstrated & released a year ago. I saw the live demonstration with multiple human characters being added at the click of a button, managed by the tool...essentially with nothing more than a scripting interface. (ok, 6 SPU's and a bit more)

How did this get turned into a PSN rewards system?

The press release sounded correct for something of this type. Though very valuable to gamers, actually creating something like a 'signed' __anything__ or other promotional item really costs little to nothing.

Other than the flaw of creating the fake news with the same name as an existing set of dev tools, the rest of it sounds real.

Maybe this was an internally leaked document for an actual service still being worked on.

Either way, the Edge tools are real, impressive, and have nothing to do with rewarding gamers besides the incredible graphics.

This is a good example how fanboys blindly follow and believe anything. If you read article, it said it was a development tool. When described it sounded like a boast to PSN to compete with XBL. No doubt many fanboys love to hear that.

My point this fanboy stuff is really silly.

Somehow I don't think this story will get as many comments as the fake one.

Probably not. Half of them would be "rats, I fell for that one!" if they were honest.

I was skeptical and now looks like such caution has payed off....again. That's the thing with Sony and the PS3, once something is released, all is great! But anything leading up to a release is always a let down. Delays, features cut out, loss of exclusivity. It's lame. But once a product ACTUALLY gets out, like MGS4, it ends up being worth the wait.
