  • @Jayge: Im not disagreeing on your point Jayge but Sony isnt quitting on the UMD (if they did it they had to do at E3) for quite a while because they need all the money they can get. Using Apple's tricks of the trade as well when it comes to Price might backfire or might not. It depends on how the promote the GO! . Im am very skeptical about ...

Here are the games I'm planning to get (I already have Valkria)  
 
  • Super Street Fighter 4 (It was announced really quickly)
  • UFC 2009 (Yukes should stick with Dana's Boys)
  • GT5 (Come on, I know it will not have the firebird until DLC time but hey - DAMAGE - and not the sucky kind and not "The Player should had died Burnout damage)
  • BlazBlue (Whatever new version coming out)
  • Star Ocean 4 International (PS3) (Ok, This is the Enterprise version of the franchise and some say it got worse after a certain point - but Im a completist) 
  • DMC4 (duh)
  • Blitz The League (liked the first game)
  • NBA The Show (Sony has gotten better with the Baseball Game and the Basketball game is damn close)
  • Uncharted 1 and 2 
  • Heavenly Sword 
  • Folklore (Wanted to buy it because of the Japanese advert way back when)
  • Ratchet and Clank (And the PSP version)
  • Midnight Club LA (Played the other versions)
  • Yakuza 3 (Better than GTA4 ever was)
  • GTA4 (when they have all of the DLC the 360 has)
  • Soul Caliber 4
  • Other games such as White Knight Chronicles 1, Tekken 6, God of War Three etc
 
On the PSP side: 
 
  • GTP (60 Frames, 800 cars and I hear you transfer data from there to GT5! What's not to like)
  • MGS Peace Walker: When Naked Snake becomes the bad guy.
  • Valkria 2 (when ever its ready)
  • That Bancho game what ever its called
  • Holy Badman (Dead Penguins are the new Cool Cats)
  • Patapon (UK Version)
  • Soul Caliber Broken Destiny (and sadly we cannot take Kratos to 4)
  • Persona and Persona 3 (the first game back in 96 was done in the Dawson's Creek style - in someways it made it more authentic and in other-ways it fell flat)
  • Other such games from Level 5, that will take years to translate...

 
That will take awhile for the PS3 side to get to 25 games (I have 30 something on the PS2 side) and more than I have for any version of the Gameboy on the PSP side (I have 15 now to add GTP later) Im gonna have to keep them in a safe place nobody will find them if you believe the conspiracies out on the net...
 
As for the WII... What did i tell yall? Its a damn mess I hear. Some choice info: 
  

System Menu 4.2 seems to be bricking non-HBCed Wiis. It doesn't matter whether you've ever installed the Homebrew Channel or hacked your Wii, people who have never even heard of HBC are having these issues.

The problem appears to lie with an incredibly shoddily programmed update to boot2 of the Wii. boot2 is basically the area that "starts up" the Wii. According to the people who have developed HBC, the code for Nintendo's updated boot2 is prone to making write errors, therefore making the possibility of bricking your Wii extremely high, whether or not you have ever hacked or modified your Wii.


Here some more: 
 
 

So if I'm to understand their customer service comments correctly, bricking modified Wii's is now policy rather than an unintentional but acceptable coincidence?
It's not a policy. They are just saying that it isn't their problem. The same thing as if you put your console near an edge and it dropped to the floor and broke. I don't blame them on that part. Punishing the legitimate users is something unacceptable, but they are now compensating for that too. 
  
And some more: 
 

The really simple version is that ECC is extra bits that can be used to get a good, error-free read even if some of the data is errored somehow.

All forms of storage—Flash, disk, whatever—have a certain tolerable amount of errors. Makes them cheaper since they don't have to junk so much in manufacturing. Using various strategies like bad block remapping and ECC, they then present a certain amount of reliable storage to the rest of the system.

As I understand it, the Nintendo update code wasn't doing ECC properly. So if your boot2 area had errors, the update was more likely to fail than with code that did write out the ECC bits properly. So, if there was some problem reading that area back, boot2 would come back corrupted.    

Now im not the greatest Computer Wiz out there, but when a thing need to "Start Up" said system - to prevent homebrew or pirates, fails because the homebrewers realized that thing used to start the system is "fucked already and we don't even touch it" - and then for that same company to go and fix a problem that isnt the cause of the issue - and have it mess up non - HBC systems reeks of very bad planning. There are more complicated issues with this and you should check (not that I condone this) the many boards and forums that deal with such things. 
 
Its proves a point I have. Ninty had us, but they didn't get us. Sony has recovered (50,000 for 4 weeks straight is still nothing to sneeze at in Japan) 360 has lower prices and is setting up Jasper (a bit too late though). This should be news right now - but give it 2 weeks -  the media is always late on these things.  
 
But why in gods name Ninty would create a boot up system that bricks the system during an update. They had over 30 - 50 some updates during the Wii's life span with no problems. As soon as they see a chance to hurt the sons of bitch pirates... they cant even do that right. 
 
So folks, you mean to tell me your girlfriends bought a system with 7 year old tech - for 261 bucks (ecomany of scale folks), sells 2.5 million during the bubble and now some of those wii's have the chance to brick? 
 
Sounds like a bad investment to me. Not unlike how the media makes a mockery of your GF's.  
 
But then again, maybe they will get it and realize Bayonetta and games like it wern't the bad boys or girls of Video Games. 
 
Maybe the bad boys, acted like the good guys - in order to save something they lost over the decade. Maybe Endgame was always right about the Wii and we are just getting to the truth. 
 
More later, with why I hate the Pirates - and why the Go should have waited a little "while" longer.

The Anon of the Internet dont go this far unless its to make fun of them weeboos.

I dont know that EA did this. I dont know If they told Sony they needed all of EA's PS3 games to have cross chat or no one else has. Im hoping there is a work around. Im gonna apologize to EA for now since they didnt need there kiddies seeing that. There is one thing about not being generic and having a generic life style - but anger misdirected is a dangerous thing. 
 
Who is this guy spilling the beans? WHY? Its over little shit that isn't in the big picture yet son. You have better work to do than to worry about whats in a Update... 
 
But if this is true - its EA all over again. Thinking they were long gone. I hope and I really hope EA has REALLY, REALLY Changed. 
  
Trust me, I dont like rumors... but when that crap starts the SDF force on lock I have got to wonder...

For the Playface Ho'ing, $299 "We Do Everything" Model of the PS3  

 Oh, Sony you could have gave me a heads up! 
  
Not for your ever so loyal, Anon of the Internet; who has bought the Fat Princess model - who is happy that you finally have two good advertisements for your product.  
 
Who wouldn't sleep with the red headed chick on Playface.jp (im talking that full figured wannabe bossy girl with that bad ass grin at the end of her part of the advertisement...swoon motherfucka...(Says nonsensical broken Japanese that ends in Kawaii). The rest of the ad wasn't bad too (but then we hear that some of the folk on the ads were doing some drugs (Asian Governments cant stand weed)) and the whole idea was once used by the CW Remake Network and the "O"gasm face from some euro dude... But its working for me and the rest of the Japanese (we all can hope) September 3. 
 
As for here, The new ads for PS3 Slimmer, Lighter and more DTS-True HD friendly - says it does "Everything"? NeoGaf hatin but of course they love the BC version of the PS3. (Thats the only regret Sony has yet to rectify and its more of the Japanese Hardware over Software culture that has hindered there Mobile Phone's from being the best in the market - i.e. Palm Pre being better than any new Japanese Phone) Outside of that - Yes, it does everything ... within reason.  
  
As for those adverts, there funny. Really Funny. Not as pseudo-postmodern from the early years of the franchise. I love how they make fun of the whole NeoGaf: Gaf -> Internet -> Gaf meme. The Girlfriend one was nice - but it seems to me that they were working for the NFL Audience for the other ones. The ads should air sometime before the 14th (maybe on the 10th).  
 
Not to be outdone, XBox did a 100 dollar price cut - the elite will cost 299. This has been good news (to be fair to the XBox) for MS after devastating report (54% of all X-Box's get RROD or some other issue) after Censorship Issue (look up Kotaku for that one) after Developers worry (Even Epic said that the 360 has reached its limit and FASA's former CEO stated that MS Corp structure was too heavy) and now after Twitter and Facebook pricing structure (need gold account to access)...Good luck folks. 
 
But the Mainstream Media's darling is asking for a Price Cut... Knowing that its all fun and games with Ninty. But Ninty has pretty much stated we got this (NOT!) and not to worry... (Sounds like they are watching CNBS this days) "What me worry, The Governments will do what Capitalism cant..." 
 
Sounds like Sony is doing the right things at the right time... 
 
Now, about that PSP Advertising and PSPGo Pricing...

Oh I am so happy. Thanks to Best Buy (Your 60 bucks insurance check is in the mail) i got the PS3, with arguably the two best games in the system - MGS4 and Killzone2. 

Its... beautiful Big, but Beautiful.  (actually the size is about one 1/3 bigger than the Ps2 mainline and not the slim) - i keep hearing about a PS3 slim - its almost obvious at this point but I still made the push to get it.

This is a underrated machine. Can you imagine if they put google chrome (they can - via updates) on it? ooo lord. But Linux isn't bad. Those that have PS2 support (we will all soon have it if the Patents are accepted) are really lucky. The PS1's show there age - but they dont look too bad. Ill try Xenogears and Chrono Cross later in the week, i have not played these games in a LONG TIME. (I dont have to transfer the PS1 save data since I lost the Memory Card - but once the BC comes back, there is a LOT of PS2 data (that and the hard drive) i transfer to the PS3) 

The Remote Play thing is so boss. It can do so much - when i get those Puroresu matches on the Laptop its going to be amazing. The fact you can play the PS1 games as well too also helps. Not sure about the movies though - 

Speaking of which - I feel I can love movies again. I didn't hate DVD - and it did make a jump - but its a product of its age - Blu-Ray does things that i want - and its one of the best disc based formats since Laserdisc - and the only thing close to it. (there that brightness issue in Akira but thats water under in the bridge)

The PS3 is so awesome and im taking even extra measures to keep it clean, keep the disk feeder clean, the discs spotless - the area around the PS3 spotless even the USB ports (using a dry q tip) spotless.

I will do a review of the Killzone 2 and MGS4 later - but much needs to be said about both games. 

The games that I will get later:

UFC (I know it looks better on X-Box 360 that i will concede that but don't knock on the PS3 version)
Street Fighter 4
Hot Shots Golf 5 (Allot of content was locked on the disc)
Vakrica Chronicles (the Best RPG in the system so far)
Midnight Club "The Return" to LA
Ratchet Series 
Uncharted Series
Folklore (its cheap)
Heavenly Sword... and more

This doesn't it mean its over for the PSP, far from it. 

It doesn't even mean its over for the PS2 (Games) too. 

The future looks bright. Nuff said.

Sony Keynote started some time ago.

The News is True, but the UMD doesn't die, in fact both services will exist together, so NOBODY should be modding systems because of Not enough games. I would wanted the UMD to be a higher tier, but they haven't figured out how to get more disk space on the UMD. No worries. You Yuppies get your DD i keep my UMD *rasberry*

GT PSP? Catch Cars Like POKEMON? Awesome! 800 cars! 35 FUCKING tracks! 60 frames a second on a UMD? OH HELL YES!

Peace Walker! Snake in the 70's son...3 years after the events of Portaple Ops... Its in South America again... looks like it talks about OUTER HAVEN! HOLY SHIT SON! Back to 70's hardcore son. Im talking about McFUCKINGQcade son. The good film stuff blowing shit up 70's style S-O-N. Its the episode that puts everything together, 2010 BITCHES! UMD and dd for those yuppies...

Biohazard Portable coming to the PSP as well... as well as more of your faves. Hanna Montana will sell sadly but maybe thats why they left the UMD option there as well?

MONTAGE - oh did I say that LBP looks good...

Hey, the Yuppies that keep cheering pipe that down man, this aint the AVN awards for god sakes!

That would be interesting to see the Fat princess on the montage - maybe its both?

FF 7 to the store, so go get it when its ready...(which is TONIGHT!)

Home isnt doing to hot I admit that but give it time...

See, Microsoft tries too hard with the stars we dont care about...at least Sony keeps it to the games... 

I sense that WKC will get a major overhaul. 

No surprises in this montage...Maybe a Sequel to LBP coming? 

New IP Called "Agent" 70's based game. Interesting.

Big Hammer Coming? MegaTon? AC2 will have a PSP and PS3 connectivity... Its ready this christmas... (Might Be Exclusive) 

They show Weakass Blahticy 13... SNORE. Longer Clip? Thats all you gonna give us Square? I know Sony is excited...because they will make more money off of it than MicroSoft... MEGATON, FF 14 only on PS3 in 2010? MS Just got OWNED BEYOND ALL EVERYTHING SON! wait.. wait wait its a online game...what the fuck Square? I just got fucking blue balled!

Motion Control... Hmm... Talking about the EyePet maybe. Ohh its the copy tech they showed us some years ago! Its improved! Its a upgrade to the PS EYE - the COPY tech copies objects and puts them on the screen! Hes actually building something? WTF THIS IS SO FUCKING AWSOME ever see a weather report on the news? The Green screen? This takes it to a level beyond that... Build and use as a mouse - MAG just got better... at least you can select 256 units... The Controls are ... beyond precise like it acts like a very good wacom tablet...March - May of next year. 

Hey Sony you have something for this year please?

ModRacers is part of the PCS (Play Create Share) genre that LBP started... Interesting... yet another game in 2010.

THIS YEAR SONY COME ON!

ICO GAME MOTHERFUCKA!!!!!! Its called the Last Guardian the trailer was leaked? But it got the Colossi, the young boy... and now their talking? wth? Very Interesting... coming to PS3 in...2011. DUH

BUT HOW ABOUT THIS YEAR SONY?

GT5 Preview! Please let it come THIS YEAR! 

God Of War 3, Final Game of Series. Same mega battles... He steals from the enemies? OMG DID YOU SEE THAT? Brutal. OOOOHHHH... but how will the handle the mini-games? 2010 AGAIN? GOD...

Sony has 2010 on lock son. But 2009 will not be horrible... just...slow until Oct 1st.  PSP lives, PS3 gets a lot of games, PS2 still moves along. Im thinking that Sony was a little slow but it picked up later - MS had the stars, Ninty tried to hard, Sony was just right.
