We've all heard the excuse before; "The PS3 is too difficult to develop for." One thing Sony's Playstation 3 is well-known for is its powerful hardware, which boasts (among other things) a Blu-ray disc format and a Cell Microprocessor as its CPU.
For those of you that don't know what all that means, all you need to know is that it is very, very powerful.
When I had a look at the Lian Li XB01 case, I was jumping for joy, the case looks pretty badass. It's black, has a load of vents for air to pass through, or as Homer Simpson would say "Speed holes".
Overall at first impression, was very pleased with the design and even install manual they provide. It was very detailed screw by screw. I couldn't wait to get this going.
I have nothing against case mods, I've seen some nice mods over the years. But sometimes... things start to go south.
To the left is a normal looking PlayStation 2 system. Nothing out of the ordinary, PS2 stand, little pink memory card... but the eye sore on the right? Don't ask, I still can't figure out what is going on.
Recently Microsoft lashed out against two of its competitors by taking jabs.
The casualties in the latest wave of insults from Microsoft are none other than Apple and Sony. It seems like trash talking might just be a corporate mandate over at Microsoft.
However, some might argue that such mudslinging could be due to insecurity or desperation.
We are well aware that when companies are in direct competition with one another (at least, in terms of one specific division), it's perfectly normal to expect each side to take potshots at the other.
In fact, it's even expected. But we've noticed a trend in the past year or so, and we can't decide if it's due to fear on Microsoft's part, or just an unprofessional...
There is word trickling out of a business meeting today by Square Enix, that Final Fantasy XIII will not be hitting our shores till mid 2010.
This is definitely unacceptable coming from a company known for its stellar RPG franchise. Square Enix is to blame for this mishap, but the blame also falls squarely on Microsoft.
YES! For the past couple of days we have only read “Xbox 360 dominates PlayStation” or “Sony Dying”. It’s getting so annoying that it’s hard to look around for what gamers are most interested in.
Now in it’s second year with millions of gamers, the Sony PlayStation 3 still takes bashes from people who love to play only the Xbox 360. They explain they’re...
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed this past couple of weeks, it’s the increased amount of disdain for Sony’s PlayStation 3.
It’s almost as if the whole industry has something against Sony for winning the last two generations. First Time Magazine, then Alleyinsider and now Kotaku. There’s a name for this and it’s called media sabotage.
When people were clammering about how they don’t care about backwards compatibility, then when it was cut and people whined, we kept our mouth shut.
When 360 announced they will allow games to be copied to the hard drive, much like the PS3 has done from day one, we didn’t say anything. But, we feel it is time to speak up.
We love hard drives. When your home console is strapping a big arsed HDD you don't have to leave Alex Kidd on overnight, you don't have to remember sixty-two digit save passwords, and you no longer have to mourn the death of an 8 MB memory card as if it was a family member.
Make no mistake fellow gamers, hard drives rock. Even still, if you had have told us in 2005 that...
