Great name btw. Your argument is filled with personal judgments and contradictions at points.
You can't claim people that can afford high end computers (like myself) have the money to toss around if they wanted (I do, but spend my money wisely) and *then* say people that would spend $1.25 for the convenience of staying home instead of driving to a library to use an AviJoiner for the 5 minutes I would need it on occasion are ignorant and throwing their money away. I don't want t...
They are Microsoft. Sirius is a satellite radio station.
Not a *TERRIBLE* idea if managed properly and you also had the choice to flat our purchase said software.
I would enjoy a per per minute option for certain games. There are games I've paid $50-60 for and didn't play for longer than an hour overall. Be nice if that was only around $1.25 instead of a full $60. Even if I got 8-9 hours out of the game, that's what, $13?
There are other places this setup would have proven handy. Certain pieces of software like Avi...
To an extent. I don't want to see Resistance 2 or Killzone 2 on every Slurpee cup, shoelace, and whatever else marketing genius' can come up with, but it would be nice to see them actually market their games a little more.
With your post, where do I begin?
PS3 purchasers are "casual" now? Not those with the 360's and the new Wii ripoff Avatars? If you think purchasing a $400 machine is a casual purchase, you're mistaken. If you think the PS3 is the console going casual, wrong again.
And "slow stream"? Listen.. Compared against the 360, sure, the PS3 could be selling better, but when looked at as stand alone sales, it's doing just fine. Selling very well actuall...
Doesn't look better than those that have come before it and done it much better. It takes many things from other games that were good to great and seems to do them in a fairly mediocre way, from graphics to gameplay. A rental for sure, a purchase at $30. No way $60.
To the open zone.
There were a literal ton of games for the PS3 to choose from and you know.. we can't buy them all. We had to choose between:
- LBP
- Fallout 3
- Dead Space
- Resistance 2
- SOCOM w/ Headset
- Motorstorm 2
- Far Cry 2
All in the span of what, 2 months? Games are selling for the platform, there's just a great variety of them being offered right now. And now we have Killzone 2 coming up. So many great games!
I know it sucks when someone you don't want to succeed does, but those games are actually selling very well. Deny it all you want, but you have no proof of the assumption they aren't selling. In fact, it's quite opposite, the amount of people online playing and reports from stores are saying they *are* selling, quite well.
But hey, deny it all you want, it's what some folks are good at.
Wipeout HD, Pixel Junk Eden, etc..
For a group of gamers that seem to want to be pushing digital distribution over physical mediums, we seem to forget about downloadable titles far too often and not seem to "count" them as true titles that should be considered.
But yes, 2008 was the year for the PS3 when pit against the 360 in terms of the variety of exclusives. McDonalds sells millions of hamburgers a year.. Doesn't mean they are the best (by far). It mea...
You just link directly to the YouTube video?

Are you going on about with "server space"? MS doesn't host as many games as Sony and the companies making games for Sony do. XBL is 99.999% XBOX to XBOX gaming. No hosted servers. And there is nothing like Home on XBL. The new update, it's still nothing but 360's talking to each other, no "server space". You have a login authentication system, some backend stuff to handle downloads of various pieces of code (store stuff, DLC, etc) but nothing much is in between you a...
The article is lacking merit and based on assumption rather than fact. You know.. Contacting Sony and asking for the reason why it was removed and reporting that as fact instead of just dreaming up reasons and stating them as fact.
At it again. Such a MS tool. You can expect 3-5 articles per week from him on why Sony, Bluray, or the PS3 is failing. And it's always some traffic generating, outlandish title like "How can we expect Blu-ray to succeed?". TO succeed? It *IS* succeeding. It won the format war against HDDVD and is doing very fine and only growing, nimrod.
So, nothing to see here, move along folks.
Excellent, you've made me feel even better about my PS3 investment. No ads on the XMB, free online, and I can swap out my HD with a 500 gig for about $100 nowadays.
Keep overpaying for crap because you can. That's the wisest solution.
You can't lambaste people for not wanting to continually pay $50 a year for live.. Then call people stupid for wanting a PS3 because it's "too expensive". Get your arguments straight please, that's all.
And Nai, the MMO argument is stupid. You do realize MMO's HOST THEIR OWN SERVERS right? With live, you're simply paying to be paying and MS knows you will. They canceled the fees on the Windows version of Live because PC owners are more wise with their money. 360 ow...
Sure spend alot of time and energy defending a product that should speak for itself if it were so impressive. Keep trying to convince others though.
If you think that list compares to GoW3 and Uncharted 2.. You're only fooling yourself, but have fun.
I for one would love to charge everyone, animal, even insects every time they took a sh!t.
