This is terrible news. Studio Liverpool have produced in Wipeout HD / Fury one of the most well-received and technically brilliant games on the PS3, and personally one of my favourite games of all time. The studio has had a long history of making games of exceptional quality and were obviously hugely talented. For Sony to cull half of the studio seems absolutely moronic given the wealth of talent they had in that team. If any of SL are reading this, my thoughts are with you, and thankyou for putting so much work in creating the masterpiece that is Wipeout HD / Fury.

Maybe you should try reading that document you linked to. Greenpeace itself is mentioned once, not as a terrorist organisation itself, rather that some disaffected members of it had left the group (in a dispute over its lack of more aggressive intervention) and formed the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. It was this group which, as your document states, was responsible for the acts of terrorism you refer to - Greenpeace itself disavowed any links with the organization.

American football is a game played by men with odd shaped balls.

Watch the Football!

WATCH IT! IT'S GONNA MOVE!

"That's why I pay a measly pathetic 50 dollars for Live. Because it WORKS plain and simple."

Um, LIVE has suffered more problems than PSN so far. Surely you remember last Christmas when the ENTIRE network was crippled over a period of a month? When MS conceeded it "wasn't good enough"? Or in October this year when LIVE had problems again and had to be taken down? LIVE as a whole has been down several times just recently for maintenence, yet you want to make a big deal about this? If reliability is what you consider you are paying your money for, you've made a poor choice.

Ah yes, back when MS completely failed to recognise the mass market appeal the Wii had and considered Sony, the then market leaders, as the only true threat. Now they are trying to emulate the Wii's appeal.

There's that as well - if HD gaming did catch on a lot more (in Japan and elsewhere) there would be more HD TVs sold but also much more interest in the Blu Ray format.

Yeah, he's talking specifically about Japan, where Sony have sold more than twice as many PS3s as MS have sold 360s to date. He's saying HD gaming hasn't really caught on in Japan in a big way yet, while the Wii has. The more people there interested in HD gaming, the
better for both Sony and MS. That's the gist of it.

@Vcize: Apart from kill:switch which Gears took the cover mechanic from you mean?

"it's totally free of racial slurs and/or comments regarding the sexuality of those playing. Now, how can we expect to take that seriously?"

It's not an XBox Live game..
