1 - Reporting the story?
Site was dead on last week with this particular feature. These are generally very accurate. The site isn't banned - the authors make no money from ads and these posts are approved weekly.
You may not like the site, but this specific weekly feature is generally one of the best sneak peaks you can find before the official release in 7+ hours.

1.1 - Reasons
1) False FFVII info
2) Major exclusive announcement of Hardware 2 and Pics on Aug 3rd. Then retraction AFTER the hits. Doesnt matter if they are ads or not. Its the HITS and having your name known. There is NOTHING NEW in this rumor. I can get you other sites with Similar RUMORS. The update will be up in few hours. Wait for the FACT.

EDIT: O'Rly

Even after stating "New direction" in there site he still came here and asked for a poll to place the pics or not

" Anyone else still want to see the Hardware 2 screens?

Agree if you want to see the screens, Disagree if you want me to just shut up and retire already... lol " (agree 109- disagree 6)

His comment 1.3 : http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

Hence completely knowing he wont post or have the pics he still toyed with the user. Take away my bubbles but THIS IS FACT

Has been great. They bring more factual info than say ......Kotaku.

Yes they held some thing back, but you/we don`t know the reasons.

i doubt they're just going after hits with these stories since all of the info is on this page. you don't have to go to the source. it's right here.

my two cents......

1.4 - Just saying...
If I had a gaming site I would also try to increase my returning visitor base before monetizing the site or asking for donations to help support "hosting costs"

With that being said who cares if the site has ads on it currently, that could easily change or the site could be bought out and monetized later.

The fact of the matter is that there was suppose to be a BIG reveal on the 3rd of August and that did not happen, so at this point...

...why should I waste my time visiting that site?

@ UGA
Thats fine, don't visit the site.

You have no idea what our site features anyway.

We never once have asked for "Dontations" for hosting costs or anything like that.

Recently we made a post, about PS3Attitude who was looking for donations, to support his "DONTATION" to charity. The admin there was jumping out of a plane, and asking for sponsors (much like a walk for hunger, etc) so he can donate it to charity.

God forbid we support something noble and respectful.

@ Sev

When will you learn to not keep coming here trying to justify your douchebaggery and whining over being slammed and flamed? Because you think you have some unique right to act like a d**k and not get called on it? Get back to your own worthless site, where you can CONTROL things like that...by banning people and deleting comments like a thin-skinned little b**** because you think only sycophants count. I've also seen you running round here there and everywhere, spouting this sort of guff, trying to justify yourself, which you wouldn't feel the need to do if you didn't have an uneasy conscience over d***ing people around. Am I right?

I'm sure you'd like to starting doing this pathetic justifying behaviour @ NeoGaf too, one more outlet for your ugly whining...thankfully, I doubt NeoGaf'll so much as give you an account if you tried applying, but then you wouldn't, would you? You wouldn't exactly want to be treated yourself the way you treat others, being the cowardly soul that you are. Banning people. Deleting their comments. That's what happens to OTHER people! Right?

You're a c***roach, if you don't like being stepped on, GTFO

Do we have to have these 'rumoured' store content stories every week? Why don't we just wait a few hours and post the ACTUAL store content??

I could understand these stories if it was a few days before, but hours before the actual update?

2.1 - good point
last week I got it up 2 days ahead of time. i'm trying guys, it's just hard to collect all the info and manage it here. if you want to see what's going on for the rest of august, just check my full thread: http://boardsus.playstation...

Hint:
- Next week = Bionic Commando ReArmed, Blu-ray PS3 theme, possibly PS1 classic of Driver, possibly Life with PlayStation - if not this week then next
- August 21 = Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, possibly Linger in Shadows
- August 28 = The Last Guy, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed [demo], and Warhawk 1.5 patch (maybe new booster pack for $$ as well)

2.3 - @StalkingSIlence
Thanks for the upcoming preview....I agree that it would be more helpful if we could get the rumor before the day of the actual update. I am sure that Sony is waiting around 'til an hour before deciding what to put on the PS Store.

A few days would be preferable, but a few hours will do fine for me.

3 - The Civ Rev patch is confirmed.
Is the DLC going to be free?
Shut this user up Let user speak
StalkingSilence - 517 days ago
3.1 - unfortunately, no...
the civilization revolution DLC will not be free...
It cost 3.99 pounds (5.99 euros) in EU today. seems a little steep.
anyway, you said it's been confirmed for US, do you have a link?

So, yeah, nothing to see this week thanks to Qore. As usual. And it's like I said onthe forums over at Sony, people like to say to me Qore has no effect on what we get but it does. Wake up people.

If Sony were to release a kick ass demo and a donwloadable game the same day as Qore, what would be the big draw? Qore? ahahahah, no. No the demo and game would and few would look at Qore. Sony knows that the less they toss up on qore week the more potential buyers they have for it. Buyers needy for something, anything to download or obtain on the network.

Qore cut our 4 viable psn updates a month to 3 and how inconcistant the psn is you can only bet on 1 of those 3 weeks being worthy of good content.

Disagree, take bubbles, do what ever it is you people like to do there in status quovill.
