A friend send along a link to a great post on Wired by Clive Thompson discussing what "cheating" really means when playing video games. It highlights the differences between "cheating" when playing alone versus playing online, and particularly interesting...
No other way to put it. And I'm not even talking handhelds, where the stomping was even greater. To quote: February's NPD hardware figures continue to show Nintendo's Wii selling well ahead of the other Gen Now consoles, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In...
Some of you might remember I pinged Bruce Dawson (one of our senior software design engineers here) earlier with some questions around 1080i and 1080p . At the time I was trying to understand where Sony was coming from with all their "TrueHD" talk, especially...
It's not Kaz speaking up and defending the box that surprises me; it's that the statements are just so obviously wrong that I can't believe he actually thinks people will take him seriously. You can go over to IGN to read all the text, but...
Just hit the web . Wanted to highlight it as it's a great, non-technical summary of the current console war that really boils the current state down quite succintly (and accurately, in my opinion). Couple of quick quotes: If you or your loved ones...
A few of you dropped me mail asking what I thought about the recent news that people have found ways to rip Blu-Ray and PS3 Game discs. Frankly, there's not that much to say. I was personally pretty wary about the ability of the PS3 to protect content...
Had an opportunity to spend the long weekend with a Japanese Playstation 3 (60 GB Pro SKU), and wanted to share some of my hands-on thoughts. Bit late, I know, but I've been traveling. For what it’s worth, the Japanese PS3 is basically identical...
Just a quick post, but I was sent the following photoshopped image and thought I'd share. Looks like the launch went about as expected - very few hardware units available, and those sold out and are being flipped on Ebay as we speak. The few games...
Saw that Mark Deloura (former head of Sony Developer Relations and an industry friend of mine) had some things to say about my recent Blu-ray disc speed/capacity post. Not a surprise considering his background, but I have to say the most interesting aspect...
Couple of you wrote asking what I thought of the recent announcement by Insomniac that their PS3 title Resistance: Fall of Man would use 22 GB of a Blu-ray disc's capacity. I also had someone point me to a recent CNET interview with Kaz Hirai in which...
I'm always fascinated (and frightened) by how easily the tone of a story can be changed with some selective quoting. Take one of today's stories, variants of which ran on both Joystiq and Next-gen's websites. Both sites used a Guardian Unlimited story...
I posted a bit earlier on the good news for Sony regarding the PS3 beginning manufacturing. In the same vein, it appears Gamesindustry.biz just sent out their weekly email news update with some balanced commentary on what this means for Sony. I thought...
Remember my earlier post dissecting an alleged PS3 Rude Q&A? There’s just something about a finely honed - yet evasive - turn of phrase that sets the Spidey-sense tingling, and I’m getting that feeling all over again around the rumor of the Playstation...
Title pretty much says it all, but Mark DeLoura, Manager of Developer Relations at Sony is leaving after five years at the job. I've met Mark many times and shared some good-natured jibes and drinks with him, and I have to say this is a huge loss for...
Phil Harrison (from an interview with Joystiq): "I don't think we're arrogant." Kaz Hirai (from an interview with CNN): "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does." Seems to me as though the latter quote is quickly becoming Sony's own "mission...
