lol, do all PS3 exclusives say "Only on PS3" now?  you can always tell which systems are getting desperate for sales when they do this...

It's "Only on Playstation".  I see you have failed to notice the "Only on Xbox" on said games as well (though most "exclusives" also have PC versions).  Can't even remember the last time I turned on my Xbox 360.  I've even turned on my freakin' Wii more recently, and that system is a piece of crap!  Oh, and I've turned on my regular Xbox more recently as well.  God may hate the PS3, but I don't believe in god.

Let the next gen wars rage on!!! 

But seriously, have we not learned anything from WW16-bit? Can't we all just get along? 

[Tatsujin]

we maybe learned, but they didn't.

That's why I bought all three systems!  Only people who are too poor can't afford all three and therefore feel the need to bash the other systems.  It is usually Xbox 360 owners who do the bashing, probably to justify that they've gone through 4 or 5 360's.  I'm still on my first 360, though.

Not just an old mac nubus card, but the 2nd or 3rd best.  It takes 30 pin simms.  The max memory it can handle is 2 or 4 megs.  I just hope it works.  There are boards a step to three which sit for sale at 60-80+shipping on ebay.  This person labeled it strangely though and I snagged it within 4 hours of it going up on auction.  I don't think the seller fully knows what it is.

Sounds cool; have fun with your vintage mac.

Bought 3 movies. Enter the Dragon & A Clockwork Orange on Blu-Ray (2 for $35 at Best Buy) and Ladies & Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains.

Earlier in the week, I had to buy a new set of tires for my car. All of them were worn especially the right front tire. I've had my car for over 8 years and those were the original tires. I live close to where I work, so I don't put a lot of miles on my car.

This past month I bought myself a trip to the E.R. and right wrist surgery cause I thought it would be a smart idea to play with my buddy's dog while walking backwards holding a bottle of rum I had just bought from the liquor store.  Tripped on a curb and planted the bottle right on some concrete. Cut up my right wrist pretty bad. Had surgery to fix some torn cartilage and to reattach the ulnar nerve.

Sadly, the bottle of rum was lost and no, I was sober at the time.

I wasn't intending to rip on sony, I was just making a general statement.  The Saturn games (towards the end) all said Sega Exclusive, The GameCube and Xbox all had theire respective (only for) tags.  This would be the first time Sony has tried this right?  I mean with the ps one and two they were firmly in first place.  I'm not sure but does the Wii have that on their boxes too? 

As for which systems you power on, I'm in the same boat.  I bet its been weeks since I played the 360, but the wife n' kids like their share of Feeding Frenzy 2, Rock Band, and other random plastic guitar games...lol

Kind of wish I had a PS3, but I am far too poor for one of those gamin' consoles of the future, I almost feel as left out as all the cool kids with 3Do's back in the mid 90's when all I had was a SNES and a Duo....

I mostly play my original Xbox, and on Wii- Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit! yay!  the 360 can rot in hell for all I care   except for N+ and Braid, those games are pretty awesome

[Joe Redifer]

I'd love Braid if it were more platformy and less puzzly.

Hold on to that for dear life, joe: it just became SUPER RARE!

Sony announced today that they’ve begun a worldwide recall of their fall blockbuster game LittleBigPlanet. This “platformer 2.0” game, loaded with tons of user-made content and Pixar-esque art design, was set to hit stores one week from today—and is sitting in a lot of stores right now—but they’ll all have to come back to Sony while new discs are made.

Reason? A song by the Mali group Toumani Diabate’s Symmetrical Orchestra is in the game, and its lyrics contain lines from the Qu’ran. In spite of the same song seeing release by Nonesuch Records in 2006 with no complaints, Sony has chosen to recall all discs to stop this song from reaching our ears. Apparently the transfer of a Qu’ran-quoting song from a CD to a video game crosses an ironclad line in Islam. You know, the one that was created when Muhammad first went to that cave with a Game Boy in hand.

Or maybe Sony was concerned about the content of the quotes getting into the game, which translate to “Every soul shall have the taste of death” and “All that is on Earth will perish.” Because if it’s sung in Arabic, it must be a threat, rather than a contemplation on an eventual downfall and rebirth of all life. Good thing Sony took aggressive recall action before our PlayStation 3s became tools of Islam. Thanks, culture of fear!
