Curtis Joslin @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:46AM

Sam @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:37AM
@Curtis
Good for you? Does baught = bought? Maybe ebay = enjoy too. Go enjoy your PS3...
fred @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:10AM
yeah!!! im getting it now!!!
ethana2 @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:40AM
Hold up, you should make sure it doesn't screw with us home-brewers first..
I think Sony has us where they want us, but if they, say, took away the vRAM, it'd be horrible..
aidan @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:54AM
That's what she said
allislost @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:10AM
Xbox Live is still better, but at least they're trying...
Drew @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:12AM
O snap son!!!111uno The wii is better then both! likeomfgwtfbbq

It is recommended that you do not drive or comment in Engadget while under the influence of heavy medication.
Drew @ Jul 2nd 2008 3:49AM
Your sarcasm meter is broken.
Striker @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:27AM
The Wii is a piece of shit, especially compared to the 360 or even the PS3, and based on your limitless knowledge of game consoles and their software, hardware, and online interfaces, I can judge that you actually are a Wii user.
allislost @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:28AM
shouldn't you be busy entering more Giveaways.
mayhem85 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:49AM
sweet now only a few more dash updates and we'll almost have as many features as xbox live!
yeah that just happened... does that blow your mind?
Interpol @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:52AM
The only reason you like Xbox live better is because it isn't retard-proof.
John B @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:58AM
@Striker:
Then don't buy it. Gee, that was difficult, wasn't it?
When are morons like you going to stop with this childish attitude about a box? Shut the f**k up and just play games, regardless of whatever console (or computer) you play it on.
Idiot.
cub3 @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:01AM
yeah xbox live hacking the leaderboars is 100 times better. of course...
allislost @ Jul 2nd 2008 7:23AM
@cub3
And PS3 Leaderboards never get hacked?
Shmucknut @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:25PM
For the price, Xbox Live is really not that great. Sony's online service is pretty robust and it is cheap as free.
adam @ Jul 8th 2008 7:21PM
but when you see microsoft dont bother with a hard disk as standard in their console, have a standard dvd drive size limit on their media as standard, no usb controller chargers, no motion sensors, no wi-fi as standard, and they simply release a unmistakably microshit machine and instead of making it work well, give it 4 red lights to at least do you to courtesy of telling you its either a bit fucked, quite fucked, very fucked, or totally fucked... well you kinda see that they evidently put all their money into xBox live and not the system.. and hey, they charge you for both!
gta 4 release was delayed by xbox. not cool.
but yea i mean, either way i disagree and hold an alternate opinion on the matter i guess.
Jeremy W @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:13AM
I'm still reading this because I don't own a PS3.
Hey, you asked.
Erik @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:03AM
Hey, me too!
But seriously, I'm planning to get one in a few months, and this is good news.
Graham @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:12AM
howcome for like the past 10 articles, everything I wanted to say was already posted by someone else?
Mehdi Cheddadi @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:14AM
I want ff7 remake!
AC @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:07AM
not going to happen any time soon, if ever.
EM996 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:15AM
awesome, does this include the new "Playstation Home"?
DrunkMonkey @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:30AM
No. That won't be out for at least another couple of months.
Zalon @ Jul 2nd 2008 9:15AM
Let me edit that for you...
No. That won't be out for at least another couple of years.
Simon P @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:58AM
@ zalon - sad but true probably. anyone know if we're still limited to 50 friends or is that taken care of? haven't checked recently.
Zach @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:21PM
It is up to 100 friends now
Simon P @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:18PM
much obliged zach
Dalius @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:22AM
Kudos to Sony for releasing it on Wednesday (like they said), right on the dot!
sirgdavis @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:35AM
yesss....
Eddie @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:19AM
After I finished playing some GTA4 last night i did a quick check...and I said exactly that :P
gabe @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:36AM
kewl - now drop the price to $300
Chad @ Jul 2nd 2008 9:00AM
I take it you missed the father's day sale at Wal-Mart / Best Buy where you got $100 gift card when you purchased a PS3 for $399? Worked out to $299 for the PS3.
matthewlikestoburn @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:15PM
um... i doubt it. their maying a huge loss each time they sell a PS3.
Hear that xbox and wii fanboys? Want to ruin Sony? Buy a PS3.
Lol
BTW PS3 is my favourite of the 3 consoles, just my opinion, plus PSN is free
Eric @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:37AM
oh yea, I was just playing pixel junk with my router turned off - thanks engadget!
InstantArcade @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:42AM
Well, PAIN is broken - just gets stuck in an update loop now :(
nxtiak @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:44AM
I find it funny how the Xbox 360's firmware updates takes SECONDS to download and install and all the PS3 firmware updates takes like 10 minutes to d/l and install.
Also the Super Stardust HD game patch to make it support trophies... guess how big that sucker is? 225 MEGS!!!
cub3 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:46AM
dude, you have a slow connection then, my ps3 did not take 10 minutes...
fred @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:49AM
xbl does have faster speed but. i could really care less. i care about games, not the download times.
Vincent @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:04AM
It's because Xbox and microsoft trick you into thinking you're getting an update when really they are just bullshiting you
Jamesology @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:45AM
Nah, want to know what's more funny? How there are more Xbox fanboys crying on this thread than there is PS3 fanboys. It's a shame you ppl are poor and cannot more than one system. I own all three so I have nothing to complain about. And talking about lack of games? Well PC conquers all three HAHAHA
Prokanda @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:52AM
"you ppl are poor and cannot more than one system"
apparently, you cannot afford the extra letters and words to make your statement complete.
glad your mom could get you all 3 for birthdays and christmas and such.
ps. I have all 3, but I'm not a douche about it. I just have an easier time judging between the pros and cons from the comfort of my living room.
don't you have a horde toon to be playing right now? mmmyesh....
Mike4 @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:44AM
@fred
I think you mean you couldn't care less. If you could really care less, that means you may actually care about download times.
Read up if you're still confused:

witchstick @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:10PM
well thats because the PS3 does firmware interactions that actually change the way the sistem operates,looks,behaves,360 well just dumb stuff to try and keep up like changing a few letters to persuade you and pull your hair.....
thedesolate1 @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:33PM
perhaps the ps3 updates are actually useful... kind of like updating winXP where you fix bugs made by previous updates...
chadhot @ Jul 2nd 2008 2:26PM
i'll take a 2 minute download over a 10 second download when i'm not paying for an online subscription to play my games.
cub3 @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:45AM
Im sure im not the only one who does not give a shit about trophies or any type of game achievements.
Nando @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:54AM
I agree. I just want a great selection of games and be able to play them online w/ friends or strangers to kick their asses and feel good about myself.
