But, it's not a Hack, read some of the literature on this , he has not cracked anything but a minor security hurdle, and he still has to break the decryption keys on the Blu-Ray Drive along with numerous other security devices. It will be a LONG time before the black behemoth is actually cracked, and even then,…

@samuraiorange: he must be the product of this "Natal" they speak of.

I don't have live, but I can understand why this would be annoying, I buy games off PSN pretty regularly, and I would rather just buy the game and have it taken right off my credit card instead of having to put money on my account in 5-10 dollar increments and have some left over.

I've already put my money down for this one, that's only the second game I've ever pre-ordered, and I'm thinking God of War 3 will be my third. Sony you magnificent bastard.

@DigitalHero: I think it has more to do with the publishers and Sony than just what the customers want. Hell, even the publishers don't know what's going on half the time with their game releases

I'm more interested in the 49 reasons I need to own a pspgo right now.

HA! I actually skated with Plushenko this past summer in St.Petersburg! That is a hilarious commercial, I'm sure he got big bucks for it.

@TheFaze: Ditto here my friend.

He looks so happy! Awww. I bet I'll be that happy when I have millions of dollars too.

I certainly need to upgrade mine soon, but I think I'll just buy a 500 gig drive instead. (damn you psone classics!).

Well that's upsetting, but I was thinking it was an odd idea having so many games coming out in March for the PS3. Wasn't it White Night Chronicles, God of War 3 Final Fantasy 13 and (we were hoping) GT5 in the same month in NA? Something would have suffered, at least I know I couldn't spend 180 dollars + in one month…

@geiko: They released it because they thought it would re-invigorate the PSP brand, and it seems to have worked. Now instead of people saying "I won't buy a psp" to "I'll buy a psp but not that overprices hard-drive the go" I think it also got a lot of new games being built for the system. The games that have been…

Braid, from the awesome Steam holiday sale ($2.75!) and Resident Evil 2 as a PSone classic, damn I love bargain gaming.

I don't think they need a game for D9, I loved it, but it felt like it was what a great Half-Life movie would be

@Archaotic: Hopefully Vagrant Story soon, Square said it was to be released before the break, oddly enough it wasn't. I still need to finish RE2,3 and FF7 and 8 though, but I can't pass up those classics that I've never played before but LOVE, some games are timeless. (Except RE1 that game was crap!)

Balmer said since the launch of Xbox, did he mean 360 specifically? or Xbox brand? 13 games is a lot for an average, but looking over at my games shelf.... it doesn't seem that far off.

@Komrade Kayce: I can't remember the last time I used a pay phone, and I'm in Ontario too. But hey these aren't "American" quarters so that's why we're paying more. Even though our dollar is now at parity.

@Knoxximus ver. 5.66: nike free 5.0

Xbox didn't have any must have exclusives release this year, and didn't post the same numbers anywhere as it did last year, makes sense that in their weakest territory the same would happen. Retailers saying no more is interesting though. But I guess in a country where if you're train is over five minutes late you…

That guy must be mentally disturbed, it's the only explanation. Sad that it had to be found out this way though.
