Love the new look to the site, and glad to be back on N4G.

Working in retail, selling all 3 consoles, I can honestly say there's no reason to get a 360 over a PS3 unless you have more friends on it, prefer the controller, or prefer the exclusive games.

Everything else goes the PlayStation 3 way. From a hardware perspective, features, network. I mean, you just get way more functionality out of it, for less money.

Thats it

At work Tuesday that they didn't expect PSN up until next week now. I doubt she has any more information than any of these sites, but I'm already banking on being without PSN this weekend as well just in case...

Still, the "some services" coming back up statement has me worried. Some? Like what does that mean. For all we know it could just mean access to forums, online services, stuff like that. Though I'd be completely happy with having the Network up w...

It's only $5.99 for games and guarantee's you a replacement for a year.

And you wanna know the best part about it? It's completely optional. So your allowed to say "No" to it if your asked...

But the one I work at doesn't do this for games at all...And haven't since I've been there. We do offer Installation/Update for GPS units, but that covers the USB charge cable as well. We even do E-Reader updates and stuff like that for free sometimes as well

First time I've seen this though..

EDIT: Comment way below says those same cases are used for PC software. Makes sense now.

EDIT: Nevermind, people ahead of me posted first just didn't see it!

The only thing that's really bugging me about the downtime is that I can't use my PS3, or 46" Bravia for MLB.tv or Qriocity. I can still do it on my PC, but that's not nearly half as good looking :(

And the people who talk about why the PS3 is in third so much are categorized as.........not fanboys?

I get why people are asking for compensation, including PS Plus members (like myself), but I can also see why Sony isn't planning on offering anything.

The PSN shutdown happened after last weeks store update, and by the looks of it this weeks will be the only one we'll miss (for a few short days hopefully). On top of that Plus only really updates twice a month right? So as long as it's back up before May users will be able to get any Plus products they might have...

I doubt there are really that many people going through N4G at this time.

And I also don't really think anyone was, or is going to be that shocked by this. Especially after the Wii's success and previous DS launches. I'm more interested in how long its legs are, especially later this year when more games release (and better ones) as well as the NGP.

We also have tons of stock as well (Best Buy) but I think a majority of people will pick it up la...

The 3DS kiosk went up at our Best Buy last week. It's the Pilot Wings demo, which disappointed me, but if your interested in how it looks head in to your nearest one and give it a shot.

There would be so many lawsuits if they had full motion controlling. Pitching full games? Fielding, I don't even know how it would work. So I can't blame them for not having it.

I'd kind of like a slight graphics boost. The games just as deep as ever though, I'm loving it so far.

But they've been completely obvious in trying to expand their business model and really try to market themselves as a heavy Apple competitor. And oddly enough I think they could do it.

Maybe its just because I work in retail, and see the way Apple really fucks their consumer (Sony does too, just not nearly as bad)Sony could really put a dent in the TV, PC, Mobile departments while maintaining a heavy share in Gaming.

Just work on their pricing issues an...

more Move support at first too, but then I realized you'd be playing full seasons and career's and I'm sure someone would pitch every game and shred their shoulder. Tommy John surgery from a video game.

Like Sony would want to add that to their lawsuit list aha

Impressive if true. I kind of quit MAG before I could get into the trophy grind, but I'm 30 some Hostage extracts away from my Confrontation and I'll never get that.

I do agree though that Platinum trophies are getting easier to obtain. I remember watching a KZ3 Preview vid where one of the devs said "Players like easy trophies" or something of the sorts. I finished my Elite runthrough last night in about 6 hours....One of the easiest Platinums I've got...

As a Wisconsinite/Packer fan I'm offended you even put Aaron Rodgers in the same comment as HHG. Not only did he earn his belt, but the official belt didn't even go public until they won the Super Bowl.

Big difference...

Or even pull of my shelf that I still need to play. Looks like Crytek won't be getting my money. I was excited though even though I feel like all I've been playing has been FPS's

Oh well, looks like a rental :/

Obviously it isn't SOCOM, but that doesn't mean it cant be as good as S2 was.

Insomniac has said in earlier previews that Resistance 3 would be more of a final stance as opposed to the large war that R2 felt like. It would make sense to make it close ranged combat.

If anything I think that could make different classes way more interesting & easily bring a new aspect to the game.

Also, as a clan-orientated fan myself, management ...

Maybe its just because I'm a SOCOM fanboy, but 8v8 works soooooooooooooo good if the gameplay/levels are built for it. SOCOM 2 wasn't amazing looking at all, but it's the ONLY game I've played online that gave me pure adrenaline rushes from map to map.

I get that bigger is better, but just because everything is "next gen" doesn't mean we have to have 32-64 players.

Not that I disagree, I totally thought it'd be at least 32 a...

No? I'm on my 3rd PS3, have over 50+ games, bunch of Blu Rays. Don't even own a Wii or 360 actually.

All I said was these controller bundles were old, and not much of a deal. Or news for that matter.

Maybe worry less about my console stance and more about the point I was trying to make? Just a thought

Your right, saving $5 after a month on shelves is soooo worth it and I can't thank you enough to opening my eyes to what a great deal this is. Now I can spend my extra $4.68 on my dinner tonight. SWEET an extra side
