sessler is a cool ass dude though, word up sessler!

@ ape- try deleting it and reinstalling it or starting a new save file because when i started playing uncharted the voice acting was way of sinc and their was alot of glitches but when i started a new save it all went away, idk thats my suggestion, good luck.

You should have been more creative. Saved game files dont affect anything in the PS3 other than save your game nor does starting a new game. BUT it'd be another story if you criticized the Game Data Utility files in which case makes your funny comment more commendable.

He said "I'm really old". Doesn't that count for anything? =(

It was mostly a bunch of praise for the NXE. Praise that I can only partially share. He said something about the PS3 interface "not being equitable". Well the NXE basically hit that pitfall.

As much as I love the slick looks of the PS3 and 360 dashboards now, the old 360 blades system was just so much more manageable. You had entire menus spread out before you. There was very little that was hidden by the screen height being too short. And now, on the NXE, everything looks exactly the same, and the only way you can tell things apart is from the icons, just like on the PS3, and not all of them are ever really on the screen at a time either. It really is a step backwards in a sense that they limit how many things can be on screen at a time and how much information is presented to you at first glance.

True he didnt say one anything about anything, and for convergience, uh ps3 from launch, and how is the xmb not easy to navigate? this soapbox looks like it was made as he was about to leave for lunch.

Yup, it's exactly like the XMB EXCEPT! The menus are going vertically and the subcategories are going right and left.

I mentioned this on my previous post but i still got a ton of disagrees. Geez, they really should use the XMB first and the NXE then they can gripe to me a nice comeback or rebuttal.

I'm also astonished that he didnt compare it to the PS3 he stopped short after mentioning the PS3. I just watched the video i wonder if he has an article about it. I mean, when the video store came out they gave us a lot of options even anime i never heard of and other movies and tv shows.

Hey Sessler...Could you be any more of a "fanboy"... Please... Convergence...you mean how the PSP can connect to the PS3 from anywhere in the world?, You mean how the PS3 is promoted as an "Entertainment" hub as opposed to a "Game Console", or do you mean how the PS3 is setup to run a secondary OS, or do you mean how you can use virtually any piece of bluetooth device with the PS3....Maybe you are referring to the fact that the PS3 can use any 2.5" HDD....The 360 doesn't even have a web browser...

The PS3 was built with a Blu-ray drive...There is no media that is currently available that is of higher quality...Blu-ray meets the highest standards of today's televisions...unlike what is available on the 360

Sessler, get your head out of your @ss, start being a gamer and stop being a "professional" fanboy

wow, good I thought I was the only one who was thinking that the PS3 has been doing this convergence he is talking about, sure the NXE is adding more things but watching this video it seems like Microsoft is the only one doing this and is the first to try this, when in fact PS3 has been improving on this for some time now

Does anyone else think the NXE looks like a blown up version of the XMB??

my 3 year old nephew can navigate the XMB, its probably the best design layout I've seen ever, simple and easy.

Not that I don't believe you or anything, but I would love to see the story on the Webb issue if there was any. PM me about it (and who this Ted person is) ASAP! I'd love to learn more about this Morgan Webb situation (assuming it's real. I'm going to feel like a total ass if it isn't).

@Danja: Socomer 1979 seemed pretty sure of himself. Granted, I wouldn't blame the guy for hitting that.

But if she is being silenced for any reason from saying something negative about any system (regardless of which one), then it deserves full coverage. Trust me, I'll be sure to do it if I have more info on that one.

Well, gotta appease the hand that feeds him. They try to balance his fanboism with a dualshock3 in the background. Also, why does he keep waving his arms around... too much movement for a guy, dont you think?

The only guy i compare him to that does that is my younger brother... and he vid chats with older men from Oklahoma.... coincidence?
