Try www.gamehuddle.com

Same service as GameFly as far as mailing directly to you but no membership required. You only pay on a daily basis for what you rent.

And... if you decide to share your games you can make a little cash as well.

Technically you can turn it on with your Harmony remote. Just enable HDMI detection on your PS3 (assuming you use HDMI). When the PS3 detects you turning on your TV/Receiver (whatever your HDMI is routed through) it also turns on.

Was a pleasant surprise when I set up my remote a few months ago.

Yes... I admitted that your analogy is weak and I was doing the best I could with what I was given.

The fact of the matter is under US software law (which I disagree with but it is the law of the land) Sony has the right to protect their IP, including the OS and all firmware associated with the HARDWARE they sold to you.

Don't like the law... then boot our the corporate lapdogs known as the US Senate (D and R) and get some people in there that actually will put in consumer protection for US citizens. But don't complain because YOU bought hardware and agreed to licensing that YOU do not like.

No, it is like saying you own the house but not the furniture that you rented inside of it. The SOE EULA and all current US software law (Including First Sale Doctrine) is stating, "Go ahead and trash or sell your house (the hardware) we don't care, but if you mess with the furniture (software) we leased to you it will cost you dearly."

*** It is a weak analogy to begin with so everyone else take this response with a grain of salt.

I am excited for the beta for sure but it makes me sad that I won't be buying the full game due to the PS3 being hacked.

I am a big fan of BFBC2 and I have many friends who play black ops. Both games are currently overrun with aim botters and other morons who enjoy ruining games. I hope Sony can get some sort of fix in place so that I can play this game online and make it worth the $60 price tag.

I so wanted it to be a day one purchase for me. :-(

What better addition to the old poker room in the basement than to put it on the wall right over the poker table?

Time my friends simply time... Fortunately the dead of winter is a great time to start catching up on some good games. Getting this one for the new year would be perfect.
