... with another fine steak dinner on the line. This time around my good friend N'Gai Croal of Newsweek's " Level Up " fame is dissenting with my assertion that there's a low-end $399 PS3 SKU coming this holiday. He firmly believes Sony will return to...
Sony announced a PS3 "value pack" (no sarcasm intended) for Europe at E3 this year. I've seen a bit of confusion as to what that means, especially as it relates to the " price cut " (sarcasm intended). There's actually not much to this - what you're seeing...
Saw an update from Compete (a company that tracks and analyzes online store searches to understand consumer demand). This time they're focusing on the Elite SKU, and asking the question of whether there's market demand for it. The whole article is interesting...
Just a quick post to share a link to a guy who took the guts of a PS3 controller and somehow made them fit in an Xbox 360 controller. In other words, you end up with a PS3 controller with Xbox 360 controller ergonomics. Not sure why people just don't...
Appears Sony finally bit the bullet and paid up to Immersion. The cost of manufacturing the PS3 is a huge problem for Sony. When we look at best-case scenarios for the PS3 business it's quite obvious that there's nowhere near as much money to...
Just saw this interesting post from Matt Pace of Compete, a company that specializes in collecting and analyzing online traffic metrics. The company collected data this holiday tracking US video game console demand, and the results are pretty interesting...
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...
No, not being sarcastic - it appears there's finally some unabashedly good news for PS3 owners out there. According to Arstechnica (and many other sites), the new PS3 1.5 firmware update has resolved the jaggies issue when playing PS2 titles. Means I...
... and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. According to this article quoting Game Informer magazine, SCEA's Jack Tretton is stating Sony won't consier a price drop until 2008 at earliest. To quote: When asked by US magazine Game...
Saw an article on Gamesindustry.biz talking about the console war - and seeing as it gave me a chance to use the word "phoney" in a Title, just had to call your attention to it! Actually, in all seriousness, I thought this was one of the first...
Just saw a post over on Engadget comparing the output of a PS2 game to the output of the same game on a PS3 using backwards compatibility. Shows some pretty nasty jaggies that just don't appear on the real PS2 - which is a bummer. I'd seen the...
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...
Amazing how a little reality throws cold water on some folks. Anyway, some folks thought the 1UP stuff wasn't of sufficient quality to draw any conclusions, so I thought I'd share a few more high-res side-by-side comparison videos gametrailers...
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...
