Surfer Girl Rumors

1) Slalom is coming to Virtual Console in the next few months.
2) Is Microsoft working on their own version of Home?
They were...six years ago. Back in 2002, there was a small team inside Microsoft working on an "application" called LiveUniverse for the Xbox, which was more or less Home, it was slated for release around the launch of Xbox Live, but the project got canceled when work on Xbox Live fell behind.
3) Yes, Onimusha 5 is coming out next year for PS360. So are Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2.

[pwnsause]

i wanna hear the xbots now who stated that home is whack. one of their reactions is going to be "this is gonna be awesome" How much you wanna bet after they shi#ed on Home?

[toughNAME]

Well I never said it was whack...but I did say Sony should be looking to catch up to LIVE, not leapfrog over them with one app.

And incase you missed it, she also said it was cancelled.

Should I go into a "Sony copying Microsoft..again" rant?

No...but I'm sure someone will

[ben hates you]

i hope they don't make a home service, thats besides the fact home isn't a reason i bought my ps3 it doesn't seem that exciting

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Wait...how did they copy Microsoft?

[chanto23]

about "catch up instead of leap frog Xbox Live"...Home sounds great but its risky. Home can be a huge success and dethrone Xbox Live or it can turn out to be a bunch of crap. One question i have is: When we get Home on the PS3, are we going to be able to use all the features without having to get inside the "virtual world"?? Cause sometimes it sounds too complicated to have an "apartment" and invite friends over to play a game etc etc...

PS. By the way, you cant copy something that never existed can you?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Yes...

Even in the BETA, it's extremely easy to access everything. You don't HAVE to walk everywhere either. You can transport with your virtual PSP. It's not as complicated as it sounds; trust me.

It's just a whole world to explore...to take you away from this crapfest we call earth.

[wageslave]

@1.3

how? If they were working on it 6 Years Ago, then it was MS who came up with the idea to put a Virtual world on a console.

Perhaps Sony got wind of it somehow and said "Oh, we gotta copy that" and then MS stopped working on it for a while...

Ergo, Sony is copying MS.

[InMyOpinion]

To me it doesn't matter if it's MS or Sony that does it. I still think it's a crappy idea.

[CrazzyMan]

Sony had the ide about home before PS2 was even released. They froze that idea, because PS2 just wans`t able to handle Home, while PS3 is. =)

What a noob.

[robbo918]

First off I would NEVER say the words "copy" and "Microsoft" in the same sentence in an attempt to slam another company. While all companies do it, M$ has made their entire company on it.

Second off as was said above Home was thought about long ago, when PS2 was out. I don't think either company copied each other on that topic though, virtual worlds have been thought about for a very long time. Heck Sony could have thought of it when they were building the MMORPG EQ1 . I am a Sony fan but I seriously would never accuse either M$ or Sony of copying each other on the idea of a virtual world for their players to interact in, the concept is too vague and has been around in Sci-fi forever.

[FF7numba1]

wow wave you are a tool. How much does M$ pay, I need a job.

[Iron Man 2]

Dead Rising 2 also on the PS3?w00t!

I will love Surfer Girl forever if that prediction does indeed come true,Deadrising is one of very Xbox 360 games I actually care about;)

[zambrota]

Ofcourse they will bring Dead Rising 2 to ps3.

Capcom hates exclusivity. they brought out DR on x360 only because ps3 wasnt out then.

expect all Capcom games to be multi for sometime

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Microsoft will never allow it.

GOW, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo, and countless others...will NEVER come to the PS3...because Microsoft pays to keep them.

[ruibing]

Does Microsoft even own the rights to Dead Rising?

[InMyOpinion]

Dead Rising 2 would be awesome =) I hope they add some kind of "free mode" cause the first one never really gave you an opportunity to explore the mall at your own pace.

[Dark_Vendetta]

I don't care if Dead Rising 2 comes to the Ps3 as long as they really develope it!

[sak500]

ANy of this person's information ever come true?

[bootsielon]

She has been right before, like with Resistance 2 for example, among other things. I don't know if she has been found to be blatantly wrong.

[ry-guy]

In some cases she is so vague that she couldn't be blantly wrong.

In other cases, she has never been dead on with information that has not hit the tubes.

I know one prediction off the top of my head is that the Cloverfield movie was going to suck hardcore and you should stay away from it. Apparently, I haven't seen it yet, the opposite is true.

[BloodySinner]

Because I heard about most of them last year.

[PirateThom]

That's how Surfergirl works. There's hints and noise in the background about a variety of things, which then fade away, then the likely ones, he/she picks up again a few months later when most have forgotten the original rumour.

[Charlie2688]

But you weren't suppose to that BloodySinner! you are ONLY suppose to read her blog for rumors and for her full "I have Insider Info" effect to work and remember to ignore every one that tries to tell you that is old or incredibly obvious (that even your dog would know) and if they show you links to foreign or no popular site mentioning her info ages ago...cover you eyes!...pretend you didn't saw them so when she decided its time for some old or obvious things to be posted you can act surprised and really excited about it :D...(and hell you can even ask some ridiculos question that sound more like wishful thinking than realistic! I mean her blog is full of them)

...pretty much like the peoples reaction to her COD6 announcement...even if we here on N4G already knew about it almost 40 days before she posted

[MikeGdaGod]

leaving a great game like that on the PSP forces people to buy one. PSP sales would SURGE

[clevernickname]

I don't understand the decision to port GoW: COO to the PS2 either, other than increasing sales. I was considering buying a PSP just because of this game and Syphon Filter, but if both are landing on the PS2 then I don't see much of a point.

[Voozi]

Lost Planet 2 & Dead Rising 2 coming to the PS3 is obvious...so when it does happen don't be all like "zomg surfer girl is the best shes always right!!!one!!1" (Directed at comment #2)

I mean...anyone with common sense would know that...

As for Onimusha 5, since it's obvious DR 2 & LP 2 will be going to the PS3, then don't be suprised if Onimusha 5 goes to the 360...I mean DMC 4 did afterall, so Capcom seems to be done with exclusives

[IC Weiner]

Is about the only game I'm interested thats on that list.

[LightningPS3]

We need to put an end to this sufer girl sh*t. The FBI should look into it. How can someone know everything?

Sufer girl claims to know things developers probably want to keep secret, and haven't announced to anyone. How is that possible?

I think if Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, or any other developers had spies, they would take it seriously. That is serious sh*t.

I'm getting sick of Sufer girl, if she really knows all this stuff then she should be invistigated by all these gaming companies.

If not, just admit she's full of crap. She just works clever and brings up rumors that are floating around and is very broad with her answers so she's never dead wrong.

[Skerj]

Thought so too a while ago, but how does that explain the dead on Resistance 2 details, mission layout, and class diagrams before it was anywhere near officially announced?

[Area_51]

I dont know who is worse her or the freaks on her website asking her questions like she is like somekind of "Gaming Orcle" jeez did you read the questions they ask her...lol "will there be a Madden 09, do you think nintendo will make a new mario party game" I check it out just to get a laugh

[ry-guy]

I saw those diagrams but, except for the game progression chart, some of her class mentions are vague. Even if you go back in her comments she's taken out all the specifics that you could never know what was TRULY said and she can go back and edit it. Look at this example from Oct 14.

"Insomniac Games is indeed developing Resistance: Fall of Man 2 (no, not Rise of Man, as some people have created) tentatively scheduled for release next November. Aside from the first and last level, the game takes place entirely in [redacted], where someone who may or may not be Sgt. Nathan Hale (who plays a role in the story) has to deal with the Chimeran invasion of the [redacted] in [redacted] such as [redacted]. And there is a cliffhanger ending that sets up for a third title. Vehicles will be included in multiplayer this time around, one will be able to take to the sky with three new vehicles or boogie it down on the ground with the three vehicles from the first game's Campaign.

UPDATE #1: Note the word tentatively. Also, hello Insomniac Games.

UPDATE #2: As I told GameSpot, "I don't want to ruin a title a year before it comes out." GameSpot, I did not say that any levels took place in England, although, [redacted]."

I could put anything into those "redacted" spots.

<sarcasm>
Hmmm I think Resistance 2 will take place in Antarctica! Yes! Surfer girl said it!
</sarcasm>

[ancient112]

OMG.....I think surfergirl is psychic........this IS serious, it's evolution. We should not discriminate against the mutants.

[Mr Tretton]

if dead rising is coming to PS3 I'm interested in playing it.

[ThatArtGuy]

My wife would absolutely love it, I'm sure. She's a huge zombie fan.

[psycho360]

Is that why she married u? Sorry JK. ANyway, we've had good experience with it and look forward to 2nd gen game on 360.

[LightningPS3]

and hears around the same things that most magazine editors or other industy insighters know.

A lot of time magazine or website editors hear things they can't say because it comes with their job to keep certain things secret.

A lot of what they hear is true, sometimes it's not or ends up getting changed.

[Sarick]

You have a high profile industry insider that can't release stuff to the public so he passes it on to someone outside the industry that can't easly link him to the leaked information. Fairly simple if you ask me. The problem is not everything they pass along has a 100% chance of comming to term. All this news does is hype the information and could actually be a plant by the industry to see the public reaction to the rumors posted by surfer girl.

It could also be an insiders wife or teanage family member who knows a lot by snooping in dads classified industry documents.

[TH3 GAM3]

Dead Rising could come to the PS3. Capcom is all about making money right now. Everything is multiplatform in their eyes. I also don't think Ready at Dawn is going to port GoW:COO to the PS2. They didn't port Daxter so I don't think they are going to start now.

[wageslave]

So, why would they port a game to PS3? If they're about making money, PS3 isnt the place to be. The development costs more, the console owners buy few games, and the install base is small.

Remind me not to put you on the executive board of a game company...

[heyheyhey]

@wageslave

so how do you explain Lost Planet dumbass???

anyway the BioShock, DR, LP and Mass Effect franchises are all coming to the PS3 now that they are all 3rd party franchises

i just hope they port all the prequels so i can get up to speed on things (well i played BioShock on PC so i don't need to get up to speed on that, but i have no idea whats up with DR and Mass Effect)

[robbo918]

Wageslave has drank way way too much of Billy's koolaid at this point. He/she only puts out anti Sony posts anymore, regardless of the fact he/she rarely makes an accurate point. Wageslave still believes PS3 has only sold around 7 million consoles (in another posting), wageslave still believes PS3 isn't outselling X360 WW (even though it has been for almost 2 months now), and on and on.

Wageslave is exactly what a fanboy is even though he/she calls everyone else one.

[GCO Gamer]

things like lost planet just makes you love capcom more

[LightningPS3]

Sufer girl being right about Resistance 2, New Prince of Persia game, and Street Fighter 4 being a cel shaded 2D fighter.

So she's not just making sh*t up.

Anyway, I'm gonna start paying much more attention to Sufer Girl. At some point she has to come up dead wrong.

Surfer Girl said Gears of War 2 will be announced at GDC. Lets see about that.

[The_Engineer]

some developers little sister, she mods in the official playstation forums. people that say she is full of it are just jealous bots.

[ygxbrayzie]

OMG Onimusha ive been dreaming about this game to come on this next-gen console hope it come true one of my favorite serie of all time

[wageslave]

2) Is Microsoft working on their own version of Home?
They were...six years ago. Back in 2002, there was a small team inside Microsoft working on an "application" called LiveUniverse for the Xbox, which was more or less Home, it was slated for release around the launch of Xbox Live, but the project got canceled when work on Xbox Live fell behind.

So, before we have to repeat this 1000000 times on N4G, lets get this straight (assuming this article is accurate).

1) MS was working on LIVE Universe 6 years ago.
2) Home is less than 6 years old.

THEREFORE: If MS finally ships LIVE Universe, *EVEN* if it is after HOME, it is actually *Microsoft* who came up with the idea.

I dont want to have to say "They were working on it 6 years ago! They didnt copy fcuking home!" to the SDF on N4G 10000000000 times.

Thanks.

[rofldings]

Just like M$ who "invented" GUI based operating systems, right?

And, No. Sorry, Sony tried to make a "HOME" for the Playstation 2, but never happened. That makes Home 7 years old, and since we can't find information on either one ever existing at the time ... gg.

[robbo918]

Exactly...M$ and copying, I bet Billy would rather those two words stay far far from each other given the history of M$.

Neither company copied the idea of a virtual world, that idea goes way way back in time. As far as someone wanting to say who developed it for their system first, we may never know since Home was in development (at least the drawing board) back during PS2 days.

[power of Green]

MSFT had something they were working on like Wii's Mii or What Sony calls Home ages ago it has been listed on Team Xbox's web site before I even heard of Sony's PS3 HOME.

Wonder if this is what Robbie B was talking about?.

If anything Sony cought wind of this and copied so they could implement it first as they always do.

LOL at the Sony fans making sure no 360 fans can post an opinion or debate. N4G= North Korea. lol

worthless site with worthles trolls trying to controll opinion.

[NinjaRyu]

If DR2 is coming to the PS3.......then how come the first one is not being ported to the PS3(as of right now anyways)? Also does anyone knows how to check the copyrights & Trademarks for Video Games?

[power of Green]

" SG: What is in store for he 360’s future.
RB: We have a fantastic line up of games but more importantly its the service were to offer. While I can’t say much yet with GDC right around the corner I can say that were opening up the console much more"

I see the PS3 fanboys working over time patrolling 360 threads and reporting people in threads they are guarding like the stupid ray tracing post.

[power of Green]

*Virtual Me Xbox 360 Simulation To Be Announced*

http://games.teamxbox.com/i...

Surfer chick is making bold predictions off of common sense and or inside info.

[Kami]

is the only game i care about. i used to play the first one a lot until i sold my crapbox 360

[eagle21]

Surfer Girl is Parez Hilton. It's what HE does.

[GITPWNED]

Now all you fanboys who thought Sony didn't steal Home can shut the hell up. Stupid fanboys. Sony's never NOT stolen something.

[The_Engineer]

I play guitar and had this great song I wrote but never published it and then Soundgarden came out with something just like it. I think I deserve credit for that don't you think??

that's about how moronic the xbots sound right now.

ANYONE can say " yeah I already thought of that" with no proof whatsoever.

[robbo918]

M$ stole their initial product...WINDOWS, and hasn't let up yet. Almost all companies copy other companies products at some point. M$ has just made a science of it is all.

Again though, virtual worlds were not stolen by either company. Asimov was writing about them YEARS ago and I am sure it goes even further back than that.

[eagle21]

And bots "believe" this garbage because their stuck in contracts and warranty. Dreamcast came with online first, MS copied. Nintendo and Sony are the KINGS. Home is in another league.

[ApocalypseShadow]

let's see.....

sony had dvd built in ps2.then microsoft put it in their systems.hmmm?

sony had a hard drive bay for the original ps2.microsoft adds it.hmmm?

sony had dual motors in the controller.microsoft adds it.hmmm?

sony had dual analogs for the controller.microsoft adds it.hmmm?

sony had BC for old games.microsoft adds it.hmmm?

sony had usb for the ps2 original.microsoft adds it for 360.hmmm?

sony targets 17-34 year olds.microsoft then targets 17-34 year olds.hmmm?

sony adds 1080p to ps3.microsoft adds 1080p upscaling.hmmm?

sony had hdmi.microsoft adds it.hmmm?

sony had a larger hard drive than 20 gig.microsoft tries to one up it after saying 20gig was enough.hmmm?

sony had an eyetoy for ps2.then adds a camera for ps3.microsoft adds the poor vision cam.hmmm?

sony talked about downloadable content for ps2.microsoft beats them to the punch with 360.hmmm?

sony had online for ps2.microsoft adds xbox live.hmmm?

sony has 20vs20 multiplayer.microsoft......... .well......

sony has HOME being built for a real community you can see.microsoft wants to copy it.hmmm?

nintendo and sony add motion control to their systems.microsoft wants to add a new type of controller for casuals for 360.hmmm?

sony wants a ten year lifecycle for all their systems.one made it.the second is almost there.the third is just over 1 year.microsoft now wants ten years for the 360.hmmm?

everything sony has done for console gaming,microsoft has copied again and again.but the difference is that it will work for sony.and it will fail for 360.

new tech in next gen systems:

sony-PASSED(1%)
microsoft-FAIL(30%)

online lag free play(dedicated vs p2p):

sony-PASSED-(record-20vs20mul tiplayer.soon to be 30vs30)
microsoft-FAIL

HD playback:

sony-PASSED(bluray is the winner)
microsoft-FAIL(hd-dvd is the loser)

free MODS and content for the end user:

sony-PASSED
microsoft-FAIL

people still don't get it.sony has been doing this for over ten years.they took a risk in releasing late.but the result was a reliable system.they put bluray in and got bagged for it.now bluray is going to be the standard.now gamers say HOME is too big a risk.but again,....

THE REWARD WILL BE EVEN GREATER.and sony is sitting at 2/3 so far.HOME will make it 3/3.

mag lev......................soon to be megaton shadow..............

[heyheyhey]

bubbles for you, your rants always bring about some really goods points

i especially agree about the eyetoy one- M$ ripped that one off so much

its basically the eyetot but its green and white and it has a poorer FPS and resolution, and much poorer software to go with it

[The Dark Knight]

dude......... your the biggest moron ever....

"sony targets 17-34 year olds.microsoft then targets 17-34 year olds.hmmm?" Alright so your telling me that microsft copyed by trying to get people to buy a 360? are you like 10 years old??? do you know how business works?? your trying to say that cause sony gets all ages.. microsft are copying???? dude YOUR A F*CK STICK

"nintendo and sony add motion control to their systems.microsoft wants to add a new type of controller for casuals for 360.hmmm? "
Ummmmmmm more like nintendo added it then sony copyed NINTENDO!! again do your research kid.

What about dual shock hmmmmm??? i remember sony said "Rumble is SOOOO last gen" and then what happend??? they copyed micrsoft.

"THE REWARD WILL BE EVEN GREATER" WELL YOU TAKE THE REWARD FOR BEING THE BIGGEST SONY JACKA$$ :D HOW DO YOU FEEL!!! :)

[rukusa]

I can't believe all the idiots who say that Sony copied Microsoft.

You seriously believe Sony KNEW that Microsoft was making something similiar back then?

Pretty vague defence for the xbox supporters.

[MK_Red]

I want Dead Rising 2 NOW! God I loved that game. Can't wait for Onimusha 5 as well.

[Chuck Norris]

How will we be getting it? Through the PSN or some other method? Hopefully Sony just packs it in one of their first-party games (Resistance 2, LBP, etc.) and then we can just install it in our HDD. It's such a pain to download the whole game. Home + the first-party game can easily be stored in the blu-ray.

[Bubble Buddy]

ure chuck norris, bubble for u lmao. I wouldn't mind downloading home that long. I just want it and the in-game XMB.

[Phaqutomb]

all the updates to the beta break down home to smaller file download. so if you dont move your guy all over the place then you dont have to download more stuff.

[zonetrooper5]

sony had dvd built in ps2.then microsoft put it in their systems.hmmm? So? either MS was going to put in a HD-DVD drive or DVD drive.

sony had a hard drive bay for the original ps2.microsoft adds it.hmmm? Sony never used it though and it was a waste of time, MS actually implemented it unlike Sony.

sony had dual motors in the controller.microsoft adds it.hmmm? You really care about that?

sony had dual analogs for the controller.microsoft adds it.hmmm? Sony got that off Nintendo etc etc/

sony had BC for old games.microsoft adds it.hmmm? Well many other consoles did that before Sony

sony had usb for the ps2 original.microsoft adds it for 360.hmmm? Well duhh, its a simple piece of technology used by alot of people, Sony did not make the damn USB so this point is moot.

sony targets 17-34 year olds.microsoft then targets 17-34 year olds.hmmm? Its called bussiness, learn something please

sony adds 1080p to ps3.microsoft adds 1080p upscaling.hmmm? Again not that important. I've been playing in HD on my PC for years before both the PS3 and 360.

sony had hdmi.microsoft adds it.hmmm? Refer to the next answer below

sony had a larger hard drive than 20 gig.microsoft tries to one up it after saying 20gig was enough.hmmm? Again its business, MS wants to one up Sony like Sony does to MS

sony had an eyetoy for ps2.then adds a camera for ps3.microsoft adds the poor vision cam.hmmm? Webcam, Sony took the concept of the webcam and altered it to work with gaming.

sony talked about downloadable content for ps2.microsoft beats them to the punch with 360.hmmm? PS2 rarely got downloadable content and was another Sony wish/makeup

sony had online for ps2.microsoft adds xbox live.hmmm? The online system for the PS2 was appaling, yes I did sign up for it but it was free and XBL crapped on it.

sony has 20vs20 multiplayer.microsoft......... .well...... Pc's have had that for a long time, Hell remember that game Black Hawk Down, it has 32 players on the PS2 and 50 players max on the Xbox 1.

sony has HOME being built for a real community you can see.microsoft wants to copy it.hmmm? Second life, Habbo, Runescape etc, we could go on and on

nintendo and sony add motion control to their systems.microsoft wants to add a new type of controller for casuals for 360.hmmm? Sony copied Nintendo, Nintendo's Wii controller is much better motion sensors than the Six-Axis which in my view was a poor mans attempt to steal the Wii's thunder and yes the Wii is pretty much an overclocked Gamecube.

sony wants a ten year lifecycle for all their systems.one made it.the second is almost there.the third is just over 1 year.microsoft now wants ten years for the 360.hmmm?

everything sony has done for console gaming,microsoft has copied again and again.but the difference is that it will work for sony.and it will fail for 360.

new tech in next gen systems:

sony-PASSED(1%)
microsoft-FAIL(30%) Agreed

online lag free play(dedicated vs p2p): Both services use P2P and Servers.

sony-PASSED-(record-20vs20mul tiplayer.soon to be 30vs30)
microsoft-FAIL - Lol Sony did not invent 20 vs 20 so stupid thing to say.

HD playback:

sony-PASSED(bluray is the winner)
microsoft-FAIL(hd-dvd is the loser)

free MODS and content for the end user:

sony-PASSED
microsoft-FAIL PC > Consoles on this aspect

people still don't get it.sony has been doing this for over ten years.they took a risk in releasing late.but the result was a reliable system.they put bluray in and got bagged for it.now bluray is going to be the standard.now gamers say HOME is too big a risk.but again,....

THE REWARD WILL BE EVEN GREATER.and sony is sitting at 2/3 so far.HOME will make it 3/3.

mag lev......................soon to be megaton shadow..............

I know your a Sony fanboy so most of your points will be against MS.

[Whoooop]

you fail to prove your points... MS still copied most of those things from Sony... Sony being their direct competitor.

Yeah most of those things were done before, but MS still copied most of them from Sony trying to keep up with them.

MS is always trying to figure out the best way to dry consumer wallets and the 360 is a great example of this.

Because of this mentality they don't spend enough time to really take risks and give people something new that their direct competitor doesn't give. hence MS always behind Sony on the gaming console department.

[ScottEFresh]

I can see the jealous xbots have been making up lies again.

[Spike47]

me too.

xbox360 fanboys the idea came from sony itself. They did'nt copy it. You fanboys are really the worst of the kind.

So MS copied sony and nintendo when they made the xbox?

IS IT SONY'S FAULT THAT MS COULD'NT HANDLE SUCH A PROJECT AND THEY CAN?

MS has no control even with their money now of capcom. Dead rising 2 and lost planet 2 are coming to teh ps3 wether u fanboys like it or not.

[Spike47]

make something ten times better than you're competition with better service than why not make it?

I can tell you this much:

I'M GONNA LOVE DEAD RISING 2 WITH TROPHIES ON HOME AND WALLPAPER ON MY PS3 WOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheXgamerLive]

MS was working on Live Universe as far back as 2002, also there was a huge post on it right here on N4G last year, look it up, so it's not MS copying now is it, however all and I mean All GAME COMPANIES COPY EACH OTHER TO A SMALL EXTENT.

Sony has copied alot, Nintendo's controller, Xbox Live online, and much more, they all do it.

[Pain]

yea... didnt think so..

Rumors.....ugg more harm then good.

[Rhezin]

STFU sony trolls! YES ONIMUSHA 5!!! gonna be the best game ever!

[Silellak]

Am I the only one who cares about a new Wing Commander?!

[minefield]

You're not the only one, trust me.

Head on over to http://www.wcnews.com/ to hear what the fanboy's have to say about it. I so hope this turns out to be true...

[man0fsteel]

ahh more news from the Oracle of gaming :)

[Tyrael]

if surfer girl were as hot as that picture i'd believe her

[LJWooly]

Who here thinks that Surfer Girl has something to do with viral marketing? Seriously, think about it. She posts 'rumours' that hype up the games she mentions; do you think that it's really that unlikely that a company might pay for her services in order to hype up a game they'll be releasing soon?

Just a speculation.

[ApocalypseShadow]

mag lev-PASSED
zone trooper-FAILED

you keep using PC as your excuse as to why microsoft is copying sony.

WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT PC.we are talking about consoles.no console,including nintendo's, had two analog sticks.same with usb.name a previous system before sony's that had things that were built into the ps2?

that's right.NONE.no dvd.no dual motors,no dual analogs,nothing.nintendo had one for 64.but sony had two.and microsoft copied ps2 because they want ps2 success like sony has had.

PC!!next thing you know,the topic will be about cars and you will mention wilderbeasts.

you say it's business to copy the competition.and your right.it is.but i don't see anything that microsoft has done that sony has copied for hardware.sony makes hardware.and that's why they lead.same with microsoft leading with live(for the moment).they know software.

doesn't it seem logical,even for you,that sony leads with hardware,because they are in the harware business?and have projections on what will be the next thing for hardware in the next ten years?

being a leader in hardware gives them the opportunity to guide the market.

and on a side note,i remember xbots thinking sony would just copy live,and when they didn't,that shocked you again.just like bluray.

megaton...............shadow. ................

[zonetrooper5]

Sigh...its pretty pointless arguing with you, you may out that Sony is some kind of "Saint" and make it out that MS is some evil b!tch lol. Both companies copy each other and Home is nothing new, stop believing this rubbish, yes MS does copy other companies but it also makes its own products.

If people disagree with me then I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track and I am pissing off fanboys like yourself. Oh well, I'm enjoyig gaming on my PC, 360 and PS3. Have fun being a tool.

[mgbass13]

Ha! Sony steals everything from Microsoft???? Last I heard the PS1 was out wayyyy before the first xbox....just in case you noobs forgot. Anyways, all the people $hitting on Home need one little nugget of information...IT"S F*#ing FREE, STUPID! Yes. FREE. If you don't want, don't use. If you wanna a FREE APPLICATION then by all means...

[vortteexx]

its like most news posts turn into flame wars.

i like both companys.

origanily sony was working with nintendo ( early 1990s ) on a cd playing nintendo console.

they argued sony took the technology, (voila, nintendo 64, and ps1 are made) this was the basis for the consoles today.

microsoft had come in 2002 and i have to agree they did copy what sony had done, but hasent every company?
