Sony's Peter Dille thinks PSP piracy is 'sickening'

Apr 21st 2009 11:17PM (Joystiq)
I agree that pirating is way easier and much more advanced then the PSP stuff.
But the PSP is getting the much shorter stick when it comes down to it.
I continue to stress that i do own all the games i have currently on my memory card.
Yes i did download them from some of those pirate websites. But to have all my owned copies of games on a single memory card is much easier then carrying around the 30 PSP games i do owe, plus the PS1 titles like Final Fantasy 7 and 8 that work just fine on the PSP , that haven't been put onto the american marketplace yet.

Super Speedrun Bros. The Lost Levels

Apr 21st 2009 9:40AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Notice at 8:09 he jumps off lava, i'm just saying thats not what a speedrun is about, nor even play the game without cheating, which to me looks like what is happening.

I played through the lost levels before , i enjoyed it , this one just reminded me how short the levels really where.

But yah this one was pretty unimpressive.

Free Realms introduces not-so-free subscription option

Mar 13th 2009 11:55AM (Joystiq)
Considering its free to play. At least there giving you a huge demo to try before you buy.
I'll give free realms a chance before i say anything negative. By being negative before you even try it , your already setting it up for failure , which a lot of people are doing to Sony lately.
i figure that if i like it , maybe 5 dollars a month might be a good investment.
If i log onto free realms for even 5 hours a month , which turns into about an hour a week. Its still a better investment then going to a movie.

Rumorang: PSP-4000 details leaked

Mar 2nd 2009 6:08PM (Joystiq)
Considering i've seen the same picture in a pile of different articles.
I strongly suggest that people stop talking about a NEW PSP2!
Because unless your a mindless Fanboy that buys anything Sony, i believe the truth being that Sony needs to pull itself out of this gaming rut , and start making some better games and support , before they put out yet another PSP.
PSP4000-yet another reason to spend money for no point what so ever.
I can see the ad already.. *rolls eyes*

Sony: 'We are on track' with PS3 sales

Jan 30th 2009 12:05PM (Joystiq)
I don't think we would be screwed if there was only one console.
I do believe one format of console would be the best bet for makers in the future.
Such as a DvD player, but for games. Each person could pick the system that they like , such as more expensive models of movie players. But each one could play the same standard format of game. And companies like Sony and Nintendo would have there sole purpose to back up the games they provide for this console.

As for the article, i do agree the PS3 is a successful console for Sony when they do there market base of how many console they predict to sell. Right now there on target or very close to it. Where as Nintendo has been saying we are going to sell 100 million units when they only have 40 million units in the stores to buy.

Exploit that works on the PSP Brite found in GripShift

Jan 7th 2009 10:54PM (Joystiq Playstation)
Actually this was confirmed already as a fake.
Believe Dark Alex even wrote that this was fake and didn't work.
But i do know that video on youtube was taken down quickly after it was discovered to be a fake.

Nielsen: People prefer playing original Xbox over PS3 in '08

Jan 4th 2009 2:27PM (Joystiq Playstation)
I recall the Dreamcast and Jaguar being way before there time , the price being to high , and ending up dead in the water.
I believe the PS3 is ahead of its time , the difference here being that the PS3 isn't way out there on price , the blue-ray is becomming popular , and the cell processor is turning out to be a great chip to use in the system.
Give Sony some more time , the PS1 and 2 where slow off the start , but in the end both where great systems.

Nielsen: People prefer playing original Xbox over PS3 in '08

Jan 3rd 2009 11:01AM (Joystiq Playstation)
Actually i think the PS3 was a good choice for Sony.
Yes its a bit slow to the market, but its still a year younger then the 360, and its a system that is the most advanced of the 3 on the market, as its using a completely different bit of insides to run it.
Sony decided to put a next gen console out , that really was using next gen, Wii made a next gen console by doing something that hasn't been done before with the movement controls, Xbox360 just put out a new box with some bigger components.
So in 5 years time , that 360 will have an upgrade, that Wii will have an upgrade, but that PS3 will be going strong as you'll notice that PS3 is being used not just for gaming but as a cluster super computer and for testing on black holes.
I'm not a fanboy , as i've owed or at least played every console on the market, and enjoy each and every one in there own way.
So this data really only says one thing , either its true and people are just enjoying what they want. Or its not true and someone else has decided to join the bash on Sony.

New book explains how Sony inadvertently helped make Xbox 360

From what is written it sounds like Sony allowed Nividia to show Microsoft the chips.
