Red Dead Redemption 360 vs. PS3

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I have probably skipped over a half-dozen or so of similar reports for other games.... it just gets old fast and it's not really news anymore! This is non-scientific, but after playing an hour of both games, and switching back and forth between the two systems on our display, it's clear ...

DO NOT Turn Your Fat PS3’s On

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Naturally Sony's not saying why - but they definitely have screwed SOMETHING up with the fat end of the PSN. So that PlayStation Network problem that hit late last night is apparently a serious disaster now. Sony is now saying that you shouldn’t use “fat” PS3 models at all, since a ...

Oh m'doof! Dat durr be a Nertflurx on m'pisstree! Doof n doof! Sony was apparently so desperate to find another something to add to the kitchen sink that as soon as they got the green light they rushed it out the door as freakin' soon as they could! So all you ...

PSPGo: The Truth Will Out, Sony. Just Like PS3 Sales #s

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Sony SONY Sony. You have been a bad MONKEY. Again. Where's Jack Tretton to hand out $1200 for every PSPGo that's still on a shelf? /finger Yesterday, Sony reported that PSPgo sales were "in line with expectations," but refused to give any figures. There might be a reason for that, if ...

Sony to PSPGo buyers: NM that. NO FREE GAMES FOR YOU!

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Surprise! Go go bait and switch Sony! Well done =) Here’s some bad news for PSP owners who want to upgrade to the PSP Go when it’s released. Sony has killed the UMD conversion plan. The idea was that PSP owners who had original UMD copies of their games would be ...

PS3: The Source of Sony’s Woes

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Here's a well written piece (though not really new news). I always search for sites with a realistic approach to gaming journalism. You know, one not tainted by Sony's spin machine, one that looks objectively at the facts and presents them well. Seeking Alpha seems to be one of those! ...

Sony responds to Activision’s Public Comments

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Rofl - I won't repeat my blahblah about Sony and their lack of decent business relationships again, but here we go with the proof. Sony goes public instead of dealing with Activision man to man. One comment must be made: Relationships of any type can't be maintained without eye contact. Eye ...

Activision may have to stop supporting Sony (rofl)

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I read something like this and I think to myself, "If Sony actually had a decent semi-working relationship with it's devs, they could work something out." You don't ever see MS or Ninty's 3rd party folks PUBLICLY stating that they want to drop the company, even back in Ninty's 64 ...

Sony WAY Down the List of Reputable Companies

Friday, May 8th, 2009

NIntendo - #6 Microsoft - #30 Sony - #126 Of 600 Companies covering the gamut, Sony is WAY behind the 2 other industry leaders. There were companies in here like IKEA, Disney, Toyota, Lowe's, etc... Here's my normal disclaimer: Surprised? Nope, but it IS worth noting (and putting out for be seen by the ...

Joystiq Comments on Sony’s Backhanded Email Scheme

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

No one wants to talk about it, but everyone knows Sony's antics and secretly hates them for it. What Sony doesn't know is that we never buy their products new (except for maybe TVs). We go to gamestop and buy USED Sony merch so that Sony doesn't see a penny! ...
