[QUOTE="anime_gamer007"]

[QUOTE="MethodManFTW"]Activio Activision has a lot of great studios, and a lot of crappy ones... But Valve does crappy stuff too.. The whole Half-Life 2 piracy fiasco was a total cop-out from Valve after they were exposed that Half-Life 2 wasn't even closed to finished weeks away from their announced release date.MethodManFTW

That is one wrong decision Valve (granted a pretty big one) made versus the tons of blatant BS Activision loves to pull (annually releasing games, overpricing DLC, not paying royalties to IW employees, talks of charging for previously free features). I don't wanna get in an argument of business ethics but let's just say as a gamer, I feel insulted by Activision's actions and attitude towards the industry.

I do think Black Ops will turn out to be a good game, definitely better than MW2 but with the way I feel towards Activision and the FPS multiplayer genre at the moment, it's not a game I'm laying my $60 down for (of course, my budget has a factor in this too :P).

Yeah Activision definitely does some shady stuff. But that shady stuff has let them gain the capitol to work with Bungie, TreyArch, Blizzard, Bizzarre Creations, etc... No way in hell would I just shut myself off to those developers because of who publishers their games.

I wanted to comment on your constant deflections/defence of Activision regarding supporting MW2 after release. The guy who made this point is bang on. The product falls under the responsibility of Activision. Though technically your points are "accurate" - You argue semantics to the point of ridiculous.

By Activision owning the IP - they are responsible, whether that means staying on top of the specific developers to maintain said product, fix glitches, etc.

This is a "cake and eat it too" situation.

I'm personally finished with the constant flood of Call of Duty games. Fix the problems in the existing one(s) before skipping on to the next one. It's as sad as the EA sports series pushing titles out annually, when all that has changed could have been updated in a small patch & roster update. Seriously. You don't buy the same car every year. Why not? they have small design changes and "improvements" from year to year? Granted, the monetary scale is different in these examples, but the point is 100% the same.

Just sayin'

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]

So blame the people who forced Sony to remove the feature, don't blame Sony themselves for removing a feature that 0.1% of PS3 owners even used. At the end of the day, it's Sonys console, it's Sonys business and they will do whatever they can to minimize loss in earnings.

This argument of OtherOS is so old now.

They will never remove the dynamic theme feature because it's profitable, OtherOS was used be a very smal percentage of PS3 owners.

It's still a perfectly valid argument. I paid for the feature, and I have every right to keep this feature. And I shouldn't have to be forced to choose between being able to enjoy full functionality of my console's hardware, and being able to play the newest games or play online, or get demo's to try out for something else I might be interested. You just want to apologize for them because you apparently have a vested interest in helping Sony neuter the system even more, which I fully deject. Profitable or not, OtherOS is a feature worth using, and they had no right or reason to remove it. Nothing that has been done with it has even gone beyond proof-of-concept phase yet. And if it ever did, all Sony would have to do is artificially inflate royalties on bluray drives and media to make it even more prohibitively expensive to buy a bluray burner and blank discs. I support the gaming industry. But Sony has far exceeded their common courtesy on this one.

Have you thoroughly read all of your Sony related End User Agreements?

I had to laugh at some specific comments, which I took the liberty to bold.

I have a 40G model, and a 120G slim - both are fine so far.

Hey All

Wondering if anyone has some information for me. With the classic controllers, I understand that the A & B buttons have been physically reversed compared to old NES controllers. Is there any option anywhere for soft mapping the buttons on the classic controller? (I'm guessing probably not)

Also, semi-curious on the point of SD cards...is this just in case you run out of room on the Wii's internal memory? If you download a retro game, I realize you can't use it in any other Wii except the one it was purchased on.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I have a 40 gig PS3, picked it up a while ago (obviously). Basically the HDD is full for the most part already. I'm thinking about picking up a slim, since they have large HDD capacity and took a price drop.

My question is what do I need to know / get first, so that I can essentially put all of my saved stuff from my old PS3 to the new one. I know by adding my account to the new one it should automatically bring over my friends list, trophies, etc.

I have a USB flash drive (4gig) which I think is going to be useful in moving saved files? I understand I'd have to reinstall game data on the new one, but I think I can safely move saved data files from games?

The only purchased content I have on my current PS3 is a map pack from Killzone 2 (which at this point I'm fine with losing if it happens lol)

Thanks in advance for any tips / instructions!

Cheers!

Currently thats a negative on text colour.

As for HDD space, 120 is way more than you will need for the forseeable future.

There might have been a 3rd question, but I missed it.

Enjoy ;)

[QUOTE="orb_03_2006"][QUOTE="vashkey"]Gears of War 2 has not cheats. Most games now a day don't.ColdP1zza

mhm.

Yeah, I agree with him. What do you mean by mhm? Most shooter games really don't have cheats anymore for things like unlimited ammo and unlimted health.

mhm is a subtle verbal affirmation. You may have recognized it in it's long version Mmmhmm. Sound it out, it'll all become very clear ;)

[QUOTE="ThE_rB2_ExPeRt"]

how do you get the beta? me and my friend are interested but we dont know how to get it

jshaas
You would have recieved an email inviting you to the beta. Then you would be asked to fill out a questionaire... after this you will be sent another email letting you know if you're in the beta or not. If you haven't gotten the first email by now, you probably aren't going to.

This is true - however, there is speculation of additional waves of invites, but I can't confirm. I have still yet to actually play it - haven't made it past the character creation part as their servers are normally unavailable every time I've tried to play. This after it took like a few days minimum to get everything downloaded and installed. Maybe I'm just unlucky with this lol

If anything, you'd want the bundle. The entire DLC portion of Killzone 2 was a joke - in the price and release category. I bought the first pack when it came out, and got to play the maps for a day or 2. Then it was impossible to find a game that wasn't either just those 2 maps, one of them, or other maps not including the DLC. It became too much of a chore finding games that had the originals plus the new maps all together. The trend continued with the second set of maps and I really lost interest after that. Now it's simply a waste of money to me to get any additional maps for KZ2. It's unfortunate.
