Daft Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah I had that although now I play both systems pretty much equally (mainly because the ability to install games to the HDD of the 360 means no more effing noise) but I generally use my PS3 more because of the massive HDD and Blu-Ray.
Domstercool Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Persona 3 FES is fantastic and such a bargain for cash. You get all of Persona 3 to play through, which you should do, then got the extra answer story. PLAY IT, BEAT IT AND THEN CREAM FOR 4! :p
Dante Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed that the PlayStation division is currently involved in the review affecting the wider Sony business Sony announced this morning that it will axe 8000 jobs and reduce investment in manufacturing, although SCE would not detail whether those cuts will have a direct affect on the PlayStation group. "In order to stay competitive in the accelerating global network environment, we will always carefully review and make structural changes, if necessary, in order to further expand and strengthen the PlayStation business around the world," said Sony Computer Entertainment in a statement. Sony said today that its electronics division has been affected by the current economic downturn, and it plans to downsize or withdraw from "unprofitable or non-core businesses." However, some believe the announced measures won't be enough to help the company, with one analyst stating that Sony needs to prove which parts of the company are going to achieve profits in the future, rather than reduce headcount. "The number sounds big, but this staff reduction won't be enough," said Katsuhiko Mori, fund manager at Daiwa SB Investments, to the BBC. "Sony doesn't have any core businesses that generate stable profits - the next thing we want to see is what is going to be the business that will drive the company." www.gamesindustry.biz
flameboy Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 the worrying bit is the way they have written "unprofitable or non-core businesses" Playstation 3's still making them a lose surely they wouldn't scale back or heaven bid stop supporting the machine?
dwarf Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I've just been thinking: Killzone 2 is going to be awesome online: The three maps I played were great, and the beta is quite old so it will be even better.
Daft Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I've just been thinking: Killzone 2 is going to be awesome online: The three maps I played were great, and the beta is quite old so it will be even better. I heard it was ready to release the same time as Resistance 2 but so they didn't clash they decided to hold KillZone back which should mean they have a crap load of time to perfect it.
dwarf Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah hopefully they aren't just sitting on their arses, seems what Nintendo's employees have been doing recently.
That Guy Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Well they used PS3 as a proxy for Blu Ray, so i doubt they will affect it too much. There will be cuts but PS is now a core product. Also PS3 should be profitable at some point. PSP is definately profitable right now and is having a record year. It wouldn't make sense to let it sink and make more losses. So i would not worry. Just dont expect Sony to chase after sales numbers over profit. PS3 seems quite comfortable as a high end expensive product. Would make sense to me. I wouldn't really be expecting a price cut any time soon.

Daft Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 IT'S BEEN POSTED!!!! *FAPS LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING!* Damn, I'm excited that you're excited.
Domstercool Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Well I've loved the series since 2 on the PSX. 3 was fantastic and all I've read is that 4 improves on everything 3 did. This makes me super excited! Just gotta finish off Valkyria Chronicles before it arrives
ReZourceman Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 IT'S BEEN POSTED!!!! *FAPS LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING!* That'll have to go in my blog of quotes later.
dwarf Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 That game looks terribly generic. If you need a 3rd person fighting game there's already the decent Heavenly Sword or you can wait for God of War 3.
dwarf Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah but it's showing real-time action - I don't get what it wants to achieve. I think I may have seen a video of it before on IGN and the people showing it off didn't seem that impressed with it themselves.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Is anyone staying up til 2am to see the God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 trailers? I cant wait to get up tomorrow morning and watch them.
Deathjam Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Is anyone staying up til 2am to see the God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 trailers? I cant wait to get up tomorrow morning and watch them. Hell no. Got work tomorrow and I can't mess up my sleep pattern anymore. Already stayed up all saturday night kicking butt at pro evo.
Jon Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Anyone play Madden 08 on PSN? I'm getting bored of whipping Yankee fanboys.
