"IF" this is true (downloading podcast now), could it keep some developers from sending games to editors for review?

Most editors say "it's not a good sign when they don't send us a copy for review". While I agree with that in general, if they abuse that privilege (yes PRIVILEGE) of getting the games before the "gold public" release, I could see developers cutting them off for "risk management" purposes.

Editors can be a ...

I always wanted the White Gran Turismo one they showed off but never released, but I don't need Darth Vader on my PSP.

But even a white PSP with nice small changes is not worth buying a 2nd PSP for. I'll stick with my original.

The article said the 4 controllers hook in though 1 USB slot, does that mean they will work with the PS3 also? Or is this going to be another Guitar Hero debacle?

We're going to foist ads on the gaming public and give them NO benefit?

Thanks Ed, thanks a load....

I (and others) won't buy one until Falcon is out.

$50 off does not make up for calling in an RMA, going and shipping out your system, waiting a few gameless weeks to get it back, then receiving a refurbed unit and not your original box back. And who knows how many times you would have to go through that cycle.

They're so close to releasing the new hardware, I have no idea why anyone would go for this. Just wait a few more weeks for 65nm...

Go back with your reciept and make them pricematch it. If it was only a day ago, and the new price is cheaper get your $$$ back from them. Worst case scenario, return yours, get the full credit and buy the cheaper one.

Don't get ripped off man!

Yeah, the mushroom king is talking about drugs in games.. Maybe if he looked into the game more, he'd know that one of the central parts of the game is that the drug (Nectar) turns out to be something bad.

Great summary. The then/now is a good list, I remember with the original xbox they slammed the PS2 for not having a HD(then), then decided they didn't need one (Core, not quite as "then"), to same games will require it (now).

Maybe that's why it's called the 360?

I just want them to get it right so I can buy a box and play Mass Effect & PGR4..

"direct importation, installation, sale, and distribution of the devices that are of foreign manufacture and smuggled into the United States"

So it seems like they have the modchip part down, now get to work on the rest of the smuggling, like I don't know drugs or illegal aliens?

Does this mean that homegrown mod chips are still ok, or just that ICE wouldn't have jurisdiction in that investigation (more of an FBI sting).

"DVD size is absolutely not a factor that we consider when DESIGNING our games... and PGR4 is no exception. DVD9 gives us more than we need to create a fabulous experience for you guys."

I don't see a denial in there, just a little PR cover up to get MS off their backs. The only thing to take away from this is that they don't "design" games around the storage media (duh), and they can deliver a fabulous experience (whether it's day or night fixed it could s...

Where'd you see that reported? I must have missed it.

Nice to read an article talking about the business of Sony being PS2/PSP and PS3. So much get's sucked up into the "who's winning the next gen" hype, you can forget that they still make a lot of $$ on their other boxes.

That said, David Reeves really did kinda put his foot in it trying to cover his own butt in regards to the price drop. "Kaz" Hirai has said he wants to give the Regional Mangers more say and more leeway several times. I just hope he can ke...

You can kinda understand his comments, how many times is Sony supposed to throw themselves on the sword here? They're addressing the development issue with EDGE, and will be working with developers to make things better (i.e. Unreal Engine optimized for PS3 announcement).

The truth is, they did get it working and EA didn't. You can't blame him for that.

I'm not taking a shot at EA with that statement, because if I was Phil and EA came to me and said that Madden...

I think we can all argee that specialized devices will provide a higher quality experience than a generalized one, but there are other factors to consider. For a ad agency, print could be their main gig, so they need that uber-printer, and same for the sound guy with Sennheiser headphones.

Some of us don't need that level though. I have an all in one at home, because I don't want 3 devices sitting in my office taking up space. It's not the "best", but it gets the j...

I've given up on updating my PC anymore. $500 for a video card is too much. I'll buy a 360 instead of updating the PC. As an aside, check Desructiod's "recognize your gamer" section on PC gamers.. freakin hillarious.. I was that guy.

I love my PS3 as much as the next guy, but there's a big difference between the title of this article "PS3 is a good value", and his quote of "So, no, I don’t think it is too expensive".

He even mentions the 360 in the full quote,
"Then take a look at the PS3, and for argument’s sake the Xbox 360, and ask 'Can I really get something that will play on HDTV at that price point? ' And the answer is, realistically, no."

Yep that sucked.. Not as much as the top speed test bug that deleted your entire garage, but was bad all the same.

I would think Forza2 would be GT5's competition, not PGR4. PGR4 seems like it would complete more with the need for speed, juiced kinda arcade game more than the sim style. Kudo's and stunts on the bikes and all.. (I'll still buy it though...)
