Monday, March 3rd, 2008

So..... why not have 2 bluray discs? Oh wait.... because the PS3's SUPERIOR BluRay disc laser can't handle the amount of speed it'd have to crank out to keep MGS4 from loading constantly. Down with optical media! BRING BACK CARTRIDGES! ... a recent interview with series creator Hideo Kojima revealed a ...

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

2 quotes from this one sum it all up. If you ever needed proof that Sony doesn't have an original idea in it's collaborative head and/or that they'll do anything to get press by trying to one-up the competition with their non-ideas, here it is. Quote one from the article in ...
