Why are people acting like that developers will stop making games for the PS3 if Sony is investing their time and resources into PS Home? What the hell? Fan: "Sony is developing a new networking infrastructure that is looking to be awesome!" Hater: "AHAHAH! Sony stopped making games to focus on an online infrastructure!" Seriously?
[QUOTE="gnarlychar"][QUOTE="reilo"]Hah. The damage control in this thread is FASCINATING. I mean seriously people, if this had the name "Nintendo Home" or "Xbox Home," everyone would be praising the living ish out of this. However, if LBW was on a nintendo console, then it would automatically be labeld as "Kidday" and you would bash it like crazy. Fanboyism goes both ways. LBW? I thought it was Little Big Planet. Anyway, no. I wouldn't. I know what you mean that others would do it, but I wouldn't call it kiddy. I would say that the game is not appealing to me personally, but diminishing a game to one stupid and overly general word such as "kiddy" is, well, stupid.

I came, I saw, I changed my boxers. Mighty impressive. This is the right step for Sony, and this is beyond what people have actually asked of them to do.
[QUOTE="massAttack2k"]Its much higher than 5%. More like 4 out of 20 360s break imo.Puckhog04
5% was stated as the national average by a company that specifically does this. Your opinion really doesn't compare to actual statistics.
No... 5% was stated by MICROSOFT. How would an independent statistics firm be able to know how many X360s died?
3% is the normal defective rate for Consoles. Care to explain to me why they would make themselves look worse by making the number above average when (if your conspiracy theory is correct) they could just lower the number?
Because they know that they would get hit with a PR disaster if they said anything below 5% -- and hell, here we are, still calling that 5% number BS.
New rule? Bill Maher, is that you? While that proposal is sound in theory, this IS GAMESPOT. Using GameRankings as the official source for reviews would invalidate what this site is striving to offer. It would basically say that Gamespot does not matter. Then why post here? And about GameRankings... they combine all versions of one game into the same score -- meaning, Motorstorm JPN and US version reviews are lumped together -- which is not a fair method of doing things because the two versions are vastly different. A better suggestion would have been Metacritic (which Gamespot uses, I believe) -- which does seperate different versions of games.
Are people actually saying that because Sony was cutting off a blog that was extensively anti-Sony (eventhough Sony supported them with a ton of free swag), that they hold enough power to give the Sony PR department a run for their money? Do people think kotaku is that big? :lol:
[QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="reilo"][QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="reilo"]Okay, let's get something straight about Kotaku vs Sony -- especially their readership. Take this for example: Sony gives Kotaku a ONE-OF-A-KIND laser-etched PS3 to give away to one of their readers. Now, read the damn comments in that topic: Link That is the readership that Kotaku has, and who they aim their articles at. They never have had love for Sony. "...makes a great paperweight!" "@BBBoT: I think that a more important question is: "Is it powerful enough to allow for real time weapon switching?" "Hey as its the only way I'd ever own a **** 3 I'll enter!" "Man thats a fancy blue-ray player. I hear it might play games someday." "If I get it I'd use it to hold up my Wii Sensor bar under my TV " "It better cook a dozen hot dogs at once. It better." Yeah, Kotaku, Sony fair all the way. so because the users dont like the PS3, kotaku hates ps3? No, but Kotaku has posted false, stupid, and blatantly spun something very mundane to make it look really bad for Sony. And they do that to appease to their readership -- that's their readership, that's who they cater to, the anti-Sony crowd. Always have, always will. nows when you say Gamespot is biased and owned by MS Huh? I'm not talking about "The Sixaxis not to feature rumble," type of news. I'm talking about stuff like "Phil Harrison says Nintendo and Microsoft could learn from Sony," and spin the quote out of proportion to make it sound like something completely different, when all Phil did was respond to a question by an interviewer ASKING him what Nintendo and Microsoft could learn from Sony. One is journalism, the other is tabloid journalism.
