of the N64 when it was first released. It was late to the show, so Playstation and Saturn became entrenched before they ever got there and they also had a media format that nobody liked, even though they had a graphics engine that was more powerful than Playstation or Saturn.

BTW, I was in Target today and saw 5 60gb PS3's on the shelf and Wal-Mart had 4 60gb and one 20gb. They're not selling.

to send Nintendo into a panic. Nintendo is very paranoid when it comes to people pirating their games. That was the reason why they held out with cartridges as long as they did. They thought they were more secure, but really they weren't. When they developed a new media for the Gamecube instead of using DVD it was also because they thought it would be more secure. Now it turns out that media isn't secure any longer. It will be interesting to see what sort of response it invokes from Nintendo....

if all they lose are their jobs. According to other news accounts, there were no medical personnel on standby in case of an emergency and no adequate health warnings were given according another of the contestants. The people organizing this stunt were irresponsible and deserve whatever happens to them.

they can cross the border into Northern Ireland to buy it and get the lower UK VAT rate.

I think that was probably the most expensive PS3 game in production recently.

that there aren't enough systems out there. The point is that there aren't enough installed in homes. Sony can flood the market with consoles all they want, but having 10 million on retail shelves is not the same as having 10 million in homes. Sony is playing a numbers game now by cranking out more units than they can sell in a year so they can say, look, we sold more units than everyone says we did, and from their perspective it is true because they were sold to retail, but sold to retail m...

for a few months after launch was because there were no 360's to be had. What production there was got snapped up immediately as soon as it hit retail shelves. Sony no longer has production issues and the machines are piling up. You don't normally see units in these quantities so soon after a launch date. They just aren't selling, but Sony keeps flooding the market with them. Whether they drop off of Sony's list of favored retailers or not, I think retailers are going to stop re-ordering unti...

this is what happens when you spawn camp people with sniper rifles in GRAW and COD.

that allowing a game engine co-developed by Sony to be used on 360 doesn't show to the public as much as a game using characters owned by Sony on another system does. I think Sony would be perceived as caving to the numerical superiority of the 360 to bolster it's profits if they did that, which many would think would be the same as Sony admitting they lost the console war this time around.

he is making a lot more off of this than he is telling. I bet he made back his cost of the PS3 and then some, plus now he is going to get tax deductions for charitable contributions. He's not eating the cost of that PS3 by a long shot.

Were these vids made with a cell phone or what?? They are horrible. People shouldn't post vids that are this poor quality.

The first MGS on PS2 had way too many cut scenes in it. Play for 5 minutes then be forced to sit through a 15 minute vid. You'll be watching hour long cinematics after 5 minutes of play if they give him the 50gb disc.

if Germany manages to get their violent videogame ban in before the launch. Imagine how PS3 will sell without CoD3, RFOM , Heavenly Sword or Lair.

6343d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

the proposed law says "games PLAYED or DISTRIBUTED on German soil" Anyone importing violent games and either playing or redistributing them would be guilty of a crime and subject to imprisonment. I don't think there will be much importing going on.

they are going to be stuck playing cutesy kiddy games forever. It will be the perfect market for Nintendo.

"IPTV support built in"

So does this mean that the rest of us who already own a 360 won't be able to use our consoles for IPTV use?? I don't care about the HDMI thing, but this really burns me. I was going to switch to Verizon FiOS service for this.

whether the mother knew she might die from drinking too much water, it is that the radio station should have known. They were negligent in not finding out the health risks of excessive water consumption before holding their contest. As it stands, they are actually lucky that only one of their contestants died.

It would be worse if she died for nothing. Seriously, though, the radio station should have checked if excessive water consumption can cause death. If they had, then this wouldn't have happened. I would imagine her family is going to be filing one hell of a lawsuit.
