People calm down. This is not the fault of EA. This is the fault of the Gamespy who shutdown their master servers.

And the drama thickens...
Yeah! We have been expecting this for some time now! I love what Valve is doing right now.
And on a what basis this has any what so ever relation to gaming? Sony and Microsoft are big companies that do variety of stuff. This could be almost anything if nothing at all...
GeoHot's hack didn't allow that. What it did allow was unpractical and unreliable way to peek occasionally what PS3's hypervisor might be doing at some limited points.
His goal was to make OtherOS available for PS3 Slim.
I hope that golden days of personal computing come back when all major manufactures make PCs which are easy to use general purpose computer. PS3 was the closest thing to a Amiga I had seen when it came out.
This is probably just a lie since the Kotaku's information came from Sony whom told that to congress and it wouldn't be the first time Sony or other big company tries to lie in front of the congress.
Anonymous as a group is very transparent and its not very solid group of people. Most of them are also idealistic hackers and they aren't crackers whom would steal credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
Sony on the other hand is at huge p...
It is a recommendation from now on should be followed. CDB is not capable of enforcing their decisions but usually everybody honors their decision by following the recommendations.
If SCE doesn't pay they can be challenged to court which considers events from all view points and they could set something like a precedent if something like this happens somewhere else this case could be used to support that case then. But again that isn't written into a law. In Finland c...
PS3 is a PC. In case you don't understand there are PCs and PCs. SCE advertised their machines as a PC. What they didn't advertise it as was "IBM-PC and 100% Compatibles" casually dubbed as a "PC".
PCs, no matter what kind of they are, can run many different operating systems. Not just Windows. If your IBM-PC or Intel Architecture PC runs Windows you can play games on it made for Windows. If you run something else on that same hardware for example ...
But its 1/3 of the price he paid for his PS3.
Have you guys even read the actual notice from Consumer Disputes Board?

I am using OtherOS but I cannot play anymore. Its a big deal here because we are talking about machine which cost 600€.
Comes now with a tasty rootkit... have fun...
To me it seems like Xbox guys are starting to get desperate in need of exclusives now that they've started to include DLC to their arguments. Gears of War 3 is not out yet and we don't know if it will be released for Windows too like Fable 3. XCom is not exclusive to Xbox. Kingdoms is probably not exclusive to Xbox. There is high probability that Forza 4 is exclusive. And only game we can trust to be exclusive to Xbox. Codename D? Probably not exclusive, or timed exclusive. Rise of N...
Where's leisure suit larry? Most of the original games from that series has better "sex scenes" than any of the listed... like in first part you can go upstairs and get laid with a prostitute and then you get aids and die...
And not a single pure MSDOS/Windows/Amiga/Macintosh/ etc. game was included... which pretty much killed the credibility from makers of that list. Not to mention it had few titles which are way too new to be even mentioned on this kind of list...
At least add one or more of these... (these are not in any particular order)
Civilization
Doom or Quake
Monkey Island
Lemmings
Wizardry
Commando
Command and Conquer: Tib...
None of those games "made Xbox 360 what it is"... most of them all we should remember that Xbox 360 was defined by:
1# RROD racing (running between repair shop and your tv console)
2# Halo 3
3# Forza 2
4# Forza 3
5# Project Gotham Racing 3
6# Project Gotham Racing 4
That's it.
That Yahoo! list is bullshit... there is way too much way new games which haven't aged enough so that we would know if they can stood the test of time... So I here by present _THE real list_ of _games you should play before you die_:
1. Civilization
2. Doom (or Quake)
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Super Mario Bros. (or Commando)
5. The Secret of Monkey Island
6. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (or Homeworld)
7. System Shock 2 ...
Microsoft gave shops maybe 1-3 units of Kinect in the first place. It's clearly continuation of their previous tactic of making things more wanted by making their own fans (you guys) autopromote their products for free. They trust that you guys advertise Kinect by saying "it's so good that it's sold out everywhere"... Think about it.
And please for the sake of god don't trust everything you read. Especially because this news about Kinetic came from r...
This is bullshit... At this rate DNF will be released before Gran Turismo 5.
I disagree. Majority of the indie stuff in Steam is garbage. This is market doing its job. This will force commercial indie developers to take better care of the quality of their products.
Steam's rules are fair and prevent developers from abusing their customers which has been happening in a large scale. Especially indie developers like to start a project, make few pennies out of it, and then completely abandon it in a completely broken state.
