Just saw the new video (The Shrouded) for “Rage” by id. The graphics look absolutely incredible, and the gameplay looks cool too.
Well, i’m happy i never used my credit card on psn.
After playing Gears 3 all day I’ve come to several conclusions:
I like the maps Checkout or Thrashball the most.
I fucking hate Capture the Leader mode.
KOTH allows me to get the most kills.
The retro lancer/gnasher combo is absolutely the best for me.
I pwn faces.
The executions are outstandingly gory and satisfying to perform on other players (video I found for them).
^ Holy shit, to me the only reason to have an XBox was GOW, I played the first two on the Stepsons. Damn I may be tempted to buy one now.

That statement only makes sense if you never used your credit card on the internet at all.
There have been no reported losses from any credit cards from this. My bank was aware of it and sent me out a new credit card. If you use the internet, that is now an added risk no matter what site you use.
^ Without a doubt, I was reading on IGN that what is being released now is that most of the “Card Numbers” were from outdated expired cards no later than 2003.
I just worry that we will start getting some type of charge from Sony. I will pay it but would rather not.

I use their network so much I really don’t care as long as they make it safer.
They got caught with their pants down, but they seem to really be trying to get this under control…and giving all users free identity protection (yeah, they are giving this to everyone who was signed up already on their network) is a great step in that direction.
Of course X-Box users will gang up on this because of the hell they caught for buying machines that red lined so much that it became “no0rmal” for it to happen.
I still like Sony over Microsoft.

The biggest two selling points for Sony over Microsoft was no monthly charge and BlueRay. I watch a lot of movies, not really TV. Why spend $500-600 on a system and then have to pay for a Blueray player also. To me that is where Microsoft messed up.

Yep…plus, I ahve already saved hundreds because of Netflix. I used to buy the dvds from Walmart because I like movies almost as much as I like mocha colored women with nice backsides and lifting weights.
We apparently get to try out their paid service for free after this so I will make the decion then.
They pretty much won me with the ID protection.
^ I never did the Netflix, I have a blockbuster deal $20 a month get in 3 a week is about all I have time for. I had heard about the free paid service will be nice.
Hey I saw they released some news about the new Assassins Creed coming out next year.

If I remember correctly you AND DJ are on your second PS3 along with a couple other people on this site. Did you get them replaced for free? Cuz my XBOX was certainly fixed or free… OH SNAP!!!
And hey guess what, PSN has been hacked at least 3x’s within the last month, and the amount of data lost is not yet totally known… so good luck with that. I’m just glad I haven’t used my credit card on my PS3.
XBOX live for the win!!!

It was actually never ‘hacked’ in the sense that most people think. Anon ran their OPSony deal, and got information they needed to get dev access through social engineering. Everything afterwards has been (assumedly, even by anon themselves) a product of that action. Sure their security was discovered to be pretty shitty as they scrambled to figure out what happened, but no security can beat a person with information giving it out. Anon has also cracked other big name organizations, and even the federal government before. Everything is hackable if someone cares enough.
Also, weren’t RRoD xbox’s only replaced free within their warranty, like any other hardware device would be? I’d hate to be that sad person who got down to their last week of warranty and almost WANT to see it happen so you can get your new one sent out and not be fucked when it did it the day after. Even if I am misinformed on that part, RRoD was a huge product failure, even if they gave you back a refurb’d machine it became an expected inconvenience of having a 360 that at some point you’d lose 2 weeks to that shit happening.
PS: XBL had 2-3 weeks of downtime a couple years ago as well, huge drama broke out on assorted boards
PPS: You kind of reinforced his entire point here, or was that the point of your post? Part of me thinks you were kind of tongue in cheek sarcastically saying all of that to ‘fulfill’ his prophecy.

I was actually trying to gloat, To be clear. When the RROD epidemic happened a couple years ago xbox did extend the warranties to cover 360’s that were purchased a couple years prior. The vast majority of people who had to return their 360’s got it replaced or free. Some people did get screwed unfortunately.
As or my gloating I do it all out of fun. Especially since DJ and X just blindly love them some PS3. I too own a PS3 and to be honest it’s mostly serving as a fancy paperweight. I have a HD media center that plays blueray files (MKV) so I really have no need for actual blue ray disks. I mainly purchased it or God of War III that totally wowed me on the systems power capabilities as far as graphics are concerned. As for its multiplayer community is concerned I stick strictly with my 360 XBL is just a quality service and makes online play such a streamlined experienced. Hours upon hours of talking shit and shooting fellow T-Nation members in the face with a shotgun in MW2 were all made possible by XBL. So in summation you usually get what you pay for, so free online multiplayer actually comes with a steep price. I’m looking at you DJ!
I remember the XBL service being down but not for 2-3 weeks although, you got a link you can share? You pretentious asshole.

Down is technically a misnomer, MS tried to skimp a bit on their server capacity(or perhaps legitimately didn’t expect the popularity they got), and over holiday season got destroyed and had extreme connectivity issues. It wasn’t down like, DDoS’d + followup security update+maintenance.
The ‘gloating’ part was meant to be extreme because I really did think you may have just been having a little fun at their expense and not actually trying to be abrasive, so I wanted it to be as far from tongue in cheek/sarcasm as it could be. The PPS does make it sound really obnoxious though…

Yeah I’m just having a bit of fun not taking any of this too seriously. I haven’t had a good 360 vs PS3 debate since I stop posting on GameFaq.com,. Those bastards take this shit extremely serious.
EDIT
Just noticed that the mods just edited the shit out of our posts. All the awesome slurs are missing. Shame on you mods.

I have self control. Did the X-Box finally get an internal wireless? Or do you have to buy that peripheral antenna thing?

Bluray will be completely obsolete on consoles within the next few years. Not to mention that it IS a Sony tech.
Netflix already make consoles a much better experience, and digital > optical media.
I reckon within 3-5 years CD’s and DVD will begin to die out.

The 360 is every bit as good as a PS3 now, sans Bluray. I guarantee you Sony is going to lose customers to MS because of this fuckup, not that I wish anything bad for Sony - it’s just some people aren’t that patient.
