I've been using this for nearly a year now and it really is seamless. The only issue I have encountered is that movies have to be in .mov or mp4 format before they stream but you can get iSquint for free and it does the conversion job quick and painlessly. A great app and well worth it for mac owners. View

I reckon this is a new enemy that we haven't seen before, perhaps the forerunners are a nasty bunch? View

If I had a ps3, I'd be all over this like a rash, guess I'll have to wait till christmas. View

Couldn't agree more. This is a ridiculous witch hunt by a bunch of self aggrandising amateurs posing as 'holier than thou' games journalists.

It seems that the thing that many people here seems to have trouble differentiating between is a story posted as rumour and a story posted as fact.

If a site like Kotaku (or any of the other sites that also ran the story but are conspicuously being left out of this debate) posts a story as rumour, they are not obliged to back it up with sources. If they post a story as fact without checking their sources, that's a different story, but that is not what happened here.

I don't know how much more clearly I can put it, but I'm sure that some idiots pretending to be games journalists will still find reason to find fault with my argument. I am a games journalist and I could name ten stories off the top of my head from various big news sites that have been posted as rumours over the past month, that turned out not to be true. Where are the articles damning them and claiming they are not 'proper' journalists?

This whole farce has served only two purposes; it's given the people at CAG (and apparently Giant Realm too) a conceited reason to behave like a bunch of smug self-congratulating adolescents, and it has given forum trolls everywhere the opportunity to jump on the moral high ground and make ill informed sermons about investigative journalism (many of which are now claiming they themselves are journalists).

The whole thing stinks to high heaven! View

How many people on this thread are actually journalists?

Read Kotaku's original post, at no point did they ever claim the story as fact, Crecente referred to it as a rumour and also questioned whether it was true. So the question is, what has Kotaku (and those other sites) done wrong?

Answer: nothing and CAG and co's reaction to this farce would have been the same no matter how the story was carried. All they needed was for the story to be taken up by a blog in the first place so they could point and laugh. They knew they would have the full force of an army of feeble minded fan boys thoroughly behind them even if the sites they were targeting did report the piece as a rumour.

Sites report on rumours all the time, and often, those rumours turn out to be false. The only difference here is that the rumour was concocted by people whose only agenda was self aggrandisement, it's almost embarrassing to watch such public self-congratulation and I can't believe the support they are getting for it. Actually I can, and it's sad... View

What a load of self-congratulating sanctimonious crap. I don't know who's worse, Cheap Ass Gamer or Giant Realm.

Running into a crowded fire and shouting "THEATRE!" doesn't make you edgy, it doesn't make you clever, it just makes you a tw*t. View

This article should have been titled

"What I hate about myself" View

Erm, isn't TF2 already out on the PS3...? View

Absolutely brilliant video!

It's this sort of thing that makes me feel really lazy. I have been ignoring my Final Cut folder all week, but this has kicked my ass thoroughly into gear :)

It's really interesting to see two totally disparate elements of popular culture matched so perfectly and it's nice to see someone who is clearly passionate about making short films, making such intelligent use of a videogame's characters and settings.

Made my day! View

I think Sony's biggest announcements will probably concernt the PSP. It would be a sidestep but I think it would be a good move. The PSP is already doing well in Japan on the back of some great RPGs now, but those titles aren't as popular in Europe so Sony may look to other strategies to boost the console on the continent.

That's what I'm hoping for anyway, I'll be at the press conference so I can't wait! View

Jesus Christ, every time I log onto N4G there is another article about Uncharted trophies. Yes it's great news that trophies are here but enough already! View

What do you mean 'lack of third party support' name one essential application that you can get on a PC but not on a Mac. View

That's a really well written and balanced article. I have to say that personally I am a Mac user and I find the experience much less frustrating that Windows.

Sure Macs suck for games but if gaming is your main reason for owning a decent laptop or desktop, then buy a Windows PC, it's that simple.

As far as I am concerned, almost every other function works better on a Mac. There is no way I could run the sort of video editing software on a cheaper PC with the same spec as my Mac. The components just wouldn't be up to it. View

Some facts...

Q. Is MGS4 a great game? A. Yes
Q. Is the 80GB PS3 a great console? A. Yes
Q. Is the bundle good value for money? A. Yes
Q. Is a story about Best Buy selling out of a particular SKU news? A. No

This is little more than fanboy hero worship, why was it not reported? View

Absolutely!

Every indication is that this is just the beginning. Though the App store already has some awesome puzzle games like Trism, the big boys with their 3D bells and whistles are well and truly on their way. Don't believe me, just ask John Carmac... View

To be honest I'd be happy with Doom RPG, though I agree something new would be preferable. View

can I just say that this demo for Kroll was cobbled together in just two weeks, expect the finished game to look much much better. View

I'd argue that the Wii and the DS both have plenty of games that have excellent graphics.

It's not just about pushing the envelope in terms of how much is going on onscreen and how shiny it all is, it's about how well realized the visuals are. Just look at something like Wii Sports, they serve the action perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing. Same with New Super Mario Bros. Good graphics does not just mean the latest greatest FPS game.

It's all about using a game's visual language to communicate the other aspects of the game effectively. That's the point I was trying to make in the original article. View

There is no escaping the fact the games are a visual medium and often the visuals are key to communicating other aspects such as gameplay and story.

I would never not play a game because I didn't think it looked impressive enough, and I agree that arcane details about the graphical nuances of console games have become an annoying yardstick by which everything is unequivocally judged, but at the same time, there is no denying that good graphics are a key aspect of any great game.

I don't know how many times I have read this same weary line of editorial.

The 360 is not dead it isn't going anywhere, get used to it. Even if the PS3 does surpass it in sales, it doesn't mean the 360 is out of the picture. Microsoft will continue to be a significant player in the games market even if they are not leading the charge and there is no shame in that, especially when you are making tons of cash in the process.

Also, if you can afford it, why not just own both? View
