This is from the same exact dude that told us 2.36 was coming before 2.40 after we had hopes up it was and he was correct. So he is reliable.

Yeah, really.

Not only that, but Playstation Edge is a development tool kit.

This is 100% fake.

That's what i was thinking i couldnt remember where i heard it untill i read your post it was from GDC 1-2 years ago where sony where talking about there new dev tools.

Personally things like this are not really good, the prizes you get tend to be pure crap nobody really wants and cost you mass amounts of points, it reminds me of the wii point system, for like 5000 points you got a wallpaper for your desktop.

With an attachment it will turn your PS3 into a skeeball machine that spits out tickets that can be redeamed at the ticket counter.

IDK if I'm the only one, but I don't want to necessarily "exchange" my trophies? I want to keep a running total because they said we would grow some sort of levels with them. It'd be nice to cash them in, but still keep them. I mean wasn't the purpose of them to be able to use them in Home?

What's worse is that I thought this was actually reliable news...but I came in and it said...or rather screamed: RUMOR. Talk about false advertising. >.>
