Good God shock and that video 🤨

Idiots 😬

Im guessing you dont own an XBOX 360 because demos are now more than 1GB, maps, skins, themes, XBL Arcade, saved games also take up space and not to mention if you decide to save music on your hard drive too... but the biggest problem is the OS which takes up 7GB. Now with more and more games comming out and with most of those games having downloadable content 20GB on XBOX360 isnt enough, in fact MS will soon be releasing a bigger hard drive.

On another note, I remember a few months back I read somewhere that for PS3 the Hard Drive isnt the only thing different when it comes to which package to buy. The one with 60GB will be a fully loaded console while the 20GB version will have less memory in cache and a few other things downgraded.

Uhhh yes I do, bad guess 😬

10 GBs is more than enough for me and I download craploads of stuff and when I get tired of them, I erase then cuz I can just download that stuff again with my kick ass broadband 😬

Yeah, as long as you're responsible with cleaning up regularly, the size the the hard drive really shouldn't be a problem. Same as with a computer: If you're not using something, get rid of it for more space.

Exactly and I am 🙂

Congratulations but im sure you dont own 6 million 360 consoles tho. I too delete stuff I do not need but of those 6 million owners, probably half or if not more have already filled the hard drive.

Suckers 😆

Noobs* doped

Hahaha, there was actually some funny shit in there.

I love how one of the adds on that PS3 site said how Microsoft ripped off Sony's video idea or whatever... meanwhile Sony decided to completely rip off Nintendo's controller and made the different priced PS3 packages like Microsoft did.

I found myself laughing at them not with them. 😉

And the chrome on the premium package, the online system, the button in the center of their controller, motion sensing in their controller, among many other things.

Honestly, their developers are running down a checklist of Xbox 360 and Live features checking off each as they implement into the Sony brand.

By the way, Resistance: Fall of Man got a horrible preview by a renowned British gaming magazine... Edge Magazine says:

The likes of Black and Timesplitters might have previously wrestled some form of obedience out of the notorious DualShock analogue sticks, but the weightless Resistance: Fall Of Man lacks either game's authority. At TGS, in a build of presumably near-final quality, that's where problems began, with a PS3 controller that still feels like poison to the FPS.

This early in PS3's game, no one's asking Insomniac's frenetic shooter to be stunning - just different. After so long in the doldrums, Sony just needs to prove that its machine is able to take back the FPS, if not necessarily poised. But Resistance, a supposedly harrowing slaughterhouse of real-world physics, keen to prove that aliens in 1950s Britain are a more troubling and exhilarating prospect than Germans in 1940s France, feels all too familiar. In its current form, it could actually be the last thing Sony needs: a predictable slog, with PS2 written all over it.

As you butt into its surfaces and characters with wild analogue thrusts, the game's world not only moves like that of a PS2 shooter before the eyes, but buckles further beneath the weight of expectation. Irrespective of who's been dropping the bombs, its blitzed streets and suburbs are commonly apocalyptic, with furniture such as buses, telephone boxes, bricks and window frames pummelled into stray piles. There's no suggestion of the cold and precise intellect that built City 17, nor that the barricaded shells of houses were ever actually homes. All it's taken to build this universe is gunpowder, which wouldn't be a problem were there better guns to use it in.

Criticism of the game's weapons seems unfair when you consider the effort behind their construction, and almost unfathomable if you consider Ratchet & Clank. But maybe it's the lack of rumble support, the overly buoyant controls and the comparative lack of movement in this world that costs them their impact. The current application of a supposedly sophisticated physics engine dwells too much on details and never on the whole, with car doors flapping about and dirt conjured around grenade blasts, but little damage that's worthy of your fire. Resistance at times fells like a theme park adventure, full of rigid props and smoke machines.

In what sounds like a sci-fi plot twist, a black hole seems to be sucking all the energy out of Insomniac's shooter. Either that or the four-level demo at TGS, kept to a one-per-session limit by unskippable, text-heavy cutscenes, simply failed to make its point. This is the 22GB poster child of Blu-ray, yet it's hard to appreciate the detail. Its weapons are made for strategic play, yet when you're carrying them all at once it's hard to care. Its Chimeran enemies are cunning and cruel, yet demonstrate little of the AI that Cell is supposed to empower. So we're crossing our fingers with a heavy heart, waiting for proof of how little we actually know.

Another "Halo-Killer" PS3 app reduced to a mediocre shooter.
And while PS3's premier launch title is receiving mediocre reviews, Gears of War is receiving rave reviews from everyone who picks up the game. The future looks bright for the 360!

Indeed.... can't wait for this Xmas 😱

I'm definetely getting Gears of War, SC, Vegas, and Fear 😱

Hes crying because the price is way too high.. 😂

Play Beyond is a site where anyone can submit ideas for a game and if its a good idea SONY will create that game and offer it in the PS3 online store. Basically its supposed to be like XBL Arcade except the general mass get to submit ideas.

Sony's going the way of Sprite with their eerie, creepy and unnerving commercials. At least it's not boring.

Jesus Sony, just show games. 😬

But on the subject...

Creepiest game ad EVER!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?search=&mode=related&v=HEVCW8oMN5M

Maybe the commercial should have ended with:

"Happy Halloween"

😛

I forgot all about that commercial. It doesn't have as much of an impact on me as it did before though.

What the **** was THAT?! 😑

BTW, I've seen some PS3 gameplay videos and stuff (we got a DVD from Sony with that stuff that we were watching yesterday at work...we were using the 360 to play it which just amused the hell out of me) and...what was on ther wasn't all that terribly impressive, I must say. Pre-rendered stuff and cutscenes look great, but game-play doesn't so much.
