Welcome to Joystiq PlayStation

Jan 27th 2009 6:06PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Sylar, I may be UK based, but I can tell you that ain't no peace sign!

Around the other way (as Veriona does it) is the 'V for Victory' sign, but also peace sign.

Andrew's way is telling someone to F**K off or alike.

Andrew, you do know that in that picture you're telling everyone to F**K off, don't you? ;)

Yes! Direct-feed Uncharted 2 screenshots

Doh, I meant alter your focal point, not your depth of field!

Its called Depth of Field and is a pretty cool effect. Although in real life you can alter your depth of field and focus on far away objects (making nearby objects blurry).

But these shots do look seriously nice.

But this in 1080p, that'll be what the PS4 is all about, in the mean time as long as its 720p, it'll do for me :)

No plans for a FFXIII demo outside of Japan

Yeah, fine if you can understand Japanese. Damn, wish I had learnt it in school now. Not that they taught it in my school, but hey. Its a good example to kids of why its good to learn different languages.

"See Jonny, if you could read Japanese you could translate for me as I play Final Fantasy". "But Dad, I'm only 3!"

Red Bull charges into Home this week

Sadly there are sad people buying clothes and chairs in Home. Shame really as it'll give Sony the impression people are stupid enough to pay for stuff like that.

What we need is a decent array of free stuff and then some exclusive stuff to buy. Not a pathetic amount of free stuff and a reasonable amount of stuff to buy.

I know, I know, its a beta. Somehow I doubt the trend will be reversed by the time it comes out of Beta...

Voice chat returns on PlayStation Home

Beta or not, IF Sony insist on micro (well, not that micro actually) charging for everything bar the minimum in Home, I'll remove it off my system.

I don't mind paying for a few things, but when it comes to paying £1.59 for a sodding virtual T Shirt it takes the piss.

So far owning a clubhouse is next to pointless, there's next to no furniture for it, you can't stick anything up on the walls and they STILL charge you £3.99 for the privilege.

I know, I know, its only a beta, but even still, I feel a bit ripped off at the moment paying £3.99 for a clubhouse which is next to useless. I want to be able to put photos up on the wall, videos etc.. Surely it wouldn't have been too much to ask for in the public beta, especially as they're charging for clubhouses.

Home servers back online, Diesel and Ligne Roset stores too

have to agree, Home may be free but it appears to do anything really decent within the game is going to cost you loads. FFS, we're giving these companies free advertising by wearing their branded goods, ytf should we have to pay for it.

Next thing you'll know is that we'll have to pay to have a video screen in our club houses / apartments showing Red Bull (or other advertisers) adverts.

If Sony keep penny pinching like this, Home WILL flop. It will be a fad for a while but will die out.

Sony PSP2 rumors debunked, probably not for the last time

Dec 18th 2008 10:55AM (Engadget)
I think you'll find he was being sarcastic, they're not going to announce a new PTP just before one of their, if not their busiest time for sales! It would be a commercial blunder of epic proportions.

I don't doubt a PSP2 is in development, given the lead time on this products, if we want to see one before 2012, it should be in development!

The Simpsons mocks (m)Apple

Not really sure you should use 'shower' after a post about 'golden'. Kinda puts a whole differnet twist on it!
