In a word: No.

Truly pathetic.

I chose the PS3 as my first current-generation console largely because at the time it was the only console that had proper backwards compatibility (the Wii supports Gamecube discs and peripherals, but you still have to have a GC in order to format memory cards, which renders BC almost pointless). I've since sold both my PS3 and my Xbox 360, and I regret selling my 60gb PS3 a lot more. Don't get me wrong, the 360 has a lot of great games. But I miss being able to play PS3, PS2, and PSone games all on the same machine, I miss the free online play, I miss Blu-ray, I miss my PSN games, and I miss having access to the fantastic exclusives, such as LittleBigPlanet and MGS4. Now I'm in the position of having recently bought my PS2 slim back from my brother. Meanwhile, I'm keeping an eye on the BC-less 40gb PS3 that my local Source by Circuit City still has on its shelves, and is selling for $50 less than the current-model 80gb system. I'm waiting until I either have enough extra cash to buy that system, or until the rumoured price cut and PS3 Slim happen. Whichever comes first. Man, do I ever miss that 60gb system...

EA have a very dubious reputation nowadays... But when they started and perhaps for a while after that, did anybody actually like them?Mr_Versipellis

I like them now. They've finally shifted their focus to creating original IPs and developing quality software based on said IPs. Dead Space, in particular, was one of the best games of 2008.

[QUOTE="NodsToNothing"]I don't think the EB Games in my area will have a midnight release for RE5, and that's just fine with me. The only time I've ever gone to a midnight release to pick up my preorder was for GTAIV, and I sure didn't appreciate having some drunk ***** shouting in my face, and the faces of all others in attendance, who were there to pick up the PS3 version of the game rather than the 360 version. And I don't particularily care to be subjected to a similar experience, even though I've since become a 360-only owner.Santesyu
Ouch man, seems like you had a pretty horrible and frightening experience..

It was mildly entertaining for the first five minutes or so, but soon enough it just became aggravating. I mean, you know how long those preorder line ups are, and there's nowhere you can go to get away from people like that.

I think the biggest thing going against Infinity Ward's next Call of Duty game is Activision. More specifically, the way they're running the franchise into the ground by having Treyarch fill in the gaps every second year in order to have a new CoD game released annually, every holiday season. They might as well call IW's next iteration Call of Duty '09.

Gears 2 won't get ported to the PS3, it's published by Microsoft. If there's any multi-platform hope, it's for the next game in the series.

Eat Sleep Play (Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe's new studio) dropped some sort of hint in the PS2 port of Head-On that they are working on a Twisted Metal game for the PS3. It would ne awesome if it turns out to be Twisted Metal: Habour City (Twisted Metal Black 2) or at least the spiritual successor to Twisted Metal Black.

This sounds pretty good.  If I can find a cheap copy of the 360 version I will be all over it.rragnaar

Will you need the original game disc to download/run the expansion? I have a 360 now, but I already own the PS3 version of GTA4 and I really don't want to buy it twice.

Microsoft already said that Tooie is coming out early next year, so expect it in January I think.

Sweet! I already have Tooie aswell, but that's one less reason to have to dust off the 64 and play on my old TV (I agree that the game looks worse on an HDTV).
