Released along side Split/Second. Two similar games released at the same time kind of forced peoples hands.

Mine gets louder as it starts getting hotter in the room. I'm waiting on a check to get a new AC system, so I'm simmering with fans on around the house till then, but yeah make sure you install your games. That disc drive is very loud.

The controller, and being able to be in a party chatting with people that aren't even playing the same game as me.

The only possible compensation I forsee is any paying subscriptions gets extended by however long PSN is down. It's also the only type of compensation that I think is fair, from a business point of view. Expecting a gift from a someone that just had a big problem sounds like a douche move because it is. Just because it's a company doesn't change expectations. Like I said the only gift we should get is not even really a gift; it would be what we are owed.

Everyone hates him because he beat their score on Super Mario Bros.
