What issues are you referring to exactly? And lets be honest.....the PSN fiasco earlier this year did more damage to the PS3 sales than anything Microsoft could ever had done.

Wait a minute....aren't CERBERUS our friends??? DAMN YOU SMOKING MAN!!

Have 2 Launch PS3s......so I am not impressed.

Now if they put back all the stuff they have taken out to reach that 250$ and actually made the PSN secure....I'd be impressed.

Why do they even bother porting games to Mac OS anymore??

Mac Ports with a few exceptions are always 6+ months after the PC release.....and if you have Parallels or Boot Camp running on your mac......you can already run the game most likely.

Mac Desktop gaming market share will not win a developer fame and fortune....maybe on the iPhone or iPad...but not the desktops.

Well...this comes as a surprise to no-one......XBOX LIVE is a reliable feature laden service. As a user from Day 1 it launched.....it has performed well and has had voice chat in all games from day one.

Even back in the days of the original XBOX with Live vs PS2's Online Adapter.....all my online playable game purchases went to XBOX.....and this carried on to the XBOX 360 vs my PS3.

Why mess with something when it's not broken.

PSN while being free is much like PS2s online experience (save for SOCOM 1& 2) ....it is lacking key features which prevent it from being the online service of choice if you have both a 360 and PS3.

PSN needs to get :
1) VOICE CHAT capability in ALL GAMES......the fact that all PS3 Online games do not have this ability or the fact that the PS3 does not come with a headset packed in has fractured the user base into the majority never using voice.
2) Cross-Game Voice Chat.....we've been asking for it for years....and they should give it to PSN+ Members
3) Demo versions of all games made available on the PSN Network.....not just some of them. This is a HUGE advantage that XBOX Live Arcade games has over PSN in the impulse buy factor
4) Network Reliability and better matchmaking systems......I have FIOS...and I have never had issues with XBOX Live and its servers.....for my PSN games at times...the matchmaking has been slow....gameplay sometimes laggy, and often I'm paired with users with poor internet connections.
5) Improved Network Security....if you are going to sell you service on the fact it is free....you better safeguard your customers just as much as if they were paying. Stating that the PSN is as good as XBL does not make it so......the huge fiasco the last couple months will go down as one of the hugest foul-ups by a videogame company ever. And the apology they made to PSN+ Members (their best customers) was a complete slap in the face......they gave away games that most hardcore gamers already owned....extended extra months of a service that most were already cancelling after the hacks......They should have offered a NEW game to PSN+ Members.......

This is a nice grab for AMAZON...their Android App store has been killing. The Free Apps they have offered every day since launch are actually titles you would pay money for......and their interface is more organized than the Android Marketplace.

Even though PopCap's Flash Versions of their game are fully playable on the XOOM.....the load times are a bit long.

Loving it even more since the Honeycomb 3.1 Update and the Flash 10.3 update......

SCREW the iPAD

Awww...who am I kidding.....I am so upgrading....and I have 4 XBOX 360s (2 Launch 60GB, 1 20GB Arcade, 1 120GB Elite).

You may ask why......because I need another XBOX as a media center extender anyway (yes I have a Digital Cable Card Tuner for Win 7 Media Center which will upgrade to a Quad Tuner later this month).....and my main entertainment center cannot handle all the the heat from a Phat PS3, XBOX 360 Elite, and Comcast's HD DVR....I have installed case fans just to keep everything cool.

Where are the POWER SUPPLY pictures.......??

Pretty lame Milhouse.....cough.....I mean JOYSTIQ

@GoonieGooGoo
He is right......no one will know the price until its officially released....
Microsoft will not price it higher than the MOVE.

As for hardcore gamer......who doesn't envy the person who has that rare item even if it was a flop.

Heck....I still want a VECTREX and a 3DO to add to my video game sytem collection.

My friend has a NEO GEO Cartridge system with those unwieldy mega cartridges and huge joysticks......and I drool whenever I see it.

I also covet another friends mint condition in perfect working order DISCS OF TRON Arcade machine.

So yes....there are the run-of-the-mill hardcore gamers.....and then there are HARDCORE gamers.

Well...that definitely affects the main target demographic of the 18-49 year old male.

HEROES, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Transformers, Shrek, IRON MAN, BEOWULF, KUNG FU PANDA. THE HULK, HELLBOY 2, New Mortal Kombat Movie??, CAPT. AMERICA, INDIANA JONES 4, and Project 11808, DETHLOK, THE AVENGERS, and remake of THE WARRIORS.

Not a bad lineup for exclusives......kudos to HD-DVD.
