European HD DVD Group talks attach rate numbers {Engadget HD}
Nov 12th 2007 11:21PM So the HD DVD group doesn't count PS3s when they talk about number of players sold, but they count PS3s when calculating attach rate. Seems a bit inconsistent.
Sony has run out of 60GB PS3s -- get one while you can {PS3 Fanboy}
Aug 30th 2007 8:26AM @ruibing:
Are you sure about that? The Wii really is a gamecube with higher clocked chips, more memory, and some extras (flash storage, wifi, motion controls), so there would be no need for emulation (if you must classify it, it'd be hardware emulation).
As for the PS2, I'm fairly sure that's hardware emulation as well. I know it was when it came out, and I don't remember reading any stories about it switching to software emulation.
So if I'm right about that, the 360 was the only one who was using software emulation until the PAL PS3 and the 80gb US PS3.
From what I've heard, PS3 software emulation is pretty good. However, for anyone hoping that it'll someday reach the levels of hardware emulation (or maybe even surpass it by doing graphical updates, etc), you're probably going to be disappointed. If you're the type of person who would want to try a lot of old PS2 games on your PS3, then you really should get the hardware emulation. I'd be willing to bet that software emulation on the PS3 won't get much better than it is now (it's just not worth the resources for Sony, most of the big games seem to work fine with it already).
Sony responds to Warhawk DRM issues {PS3 Fanboy}
Aug 28th 2007 7:06PM I don't think this is fair at all. The DRM scheme that was being used for all other downloadable games let you use multiple accounts on your PS3 with the game you downloaded. In addition, it let you download the game on up to 5 other PS3s. THIS is the thing that they should have disallowed for Warhawk.
Why do they need to kill the ability to play the downloaded game on the PS3 it was downloaded to with different accounts? Do they seriously think that everyone in the same house who shares a PS3 should buy their own individual copy? And are the people commenting on this site seriously defending that?
Not wanting to allow pirating to different PS3s is one thing, but to not allow separate users on a single machine to play the game is just asinine.
Sony prohibits sharing of downloadable Warhawk {Joystiq}
Aug 28th 2007 12:46PM The real issue here is that on a single PS3, only the account that was used to buy and download Warhawk will be able to play it. So if you share that PS3 with other family members, they will be unable to play Warhawk unless they use your account. In my opinion, this really sucks for an online multiplayer game. People want to play online with THEIR account, not their parent's or sibling's. And to tell people they need to buy a separate copy for each person who shares that PS3 is just insanity.
So if you want Warhawk and share your PS3 with others, then you should probably get the retail version. Or better yet, don't buy it so that Sony rethinks this idiotic policy.
Levine confirms no PS3 BioShock and does mea culpa on PC issues -- success hurts {Joystiq}

Thanks for the clarification. Not as bad as I thought then.

Aug 24th 2007 2:31PM Upping the limit on the number of installs doesn't fix the problem, it just delays it. I would think most PC Gamers tend to format and reinstall all their stuff periodically as Windows has a tendency to go to shit after a while.
Why can't they just admit they got behind terrible DRM and do the right thing by ditching it?
David Reeves says no more price cuts, more bundles {PS3 Fanboy}
Aug 23rd 2007 3:41PM This guy is such a frickin' moron. He says bundles are better than price cuts, but then a little bit later says, "[consumers] don't have huge wallets and they can't go out and buy five games at 59 Euros all the time."
SO LOWER THE DAMN PRICE OF THE PS3 INSTEAD OF MAKING MORE BUNDLES.
Seriously, this guy is that douchebag type that Sony appeared to be weeding out in order to make a comeback. What's the deal, why don't they get rid of him and get someone in that doesn't seem to hate the customer, and who doesn't act like they're in competition with SCEA?
Sony Europe shooting off "fireworks" at Leipzig {PS3 Fanboy}
Aug 22nd 2007 10:01AM What time should we expect to hear these big announcements? Must be pretty soon, since It's already the afternoon or evening over in Germany, right?

What an obnoxious thing to write.
