If i get you the link and quote, what's my stake? do you think i just post for posting sake Over a Decade of Active gamin journalism isn't a joke okay . . .

Get me the link to prove you ain't inventing stuff when it's convenient to do so. And please enough with the "Gaming for decades" ish, that's getting old ok.

Yeah right, just like analysts predicted the fall of Nintendo in this generation and we can see how that's turned (is turning) out.

kosovo:
So can Nintendo have the same luck twice? It's highly unlikely considering the large foot print that the Xbox brand now has in the US. Add to that North America's recent trend of falling in love with the Playstation brand all over again and Nintendo would have to invest a lot in the next home console and that's just something they're not going to do.

Ain't no luck involved, they were innovative and it payed off. That's why Sony and Microsoft are scrambling to follow suite (well Microsoft is being innovative, Sony just went ahead and copied Nintendo's motion control scheme  )

Moderator, please delete this thread as another one already exists about the same topic.

kosovo:
Sony has said many times, they made the PS3 hard to develop for, so each time a Dev thinks they have maxed out the PS3, They find out that they could do more, if they tweak the Engine.

C'mon dude, a console manufacturer intentionally making it hard for devs to create games for their console?  ,   ha ha haaaaa, ha haaaaaaaa, you should try stand up comedy for real! 

Well lookey here, where's Mr. "Dev's have only used 50% of the PS3's Power"?

People who rock Terry G's Free Madness dissing Lady Gaga, now that's funny!

Hi All,

please I have some very nasty arrow buttons that appear on my phone anytime I open some apps  especially some java  games, what can I do to remove this.

Beacuse of this I have not able to enjoy my Trivi pursuit and Brain cahallenger at all, its sooooo frustrating.

Someone please help me tackle this problem.

thanks.

I tried to attach a screenshot and upload but I could not.

To remove the On-screen keyboard:

1.  Go to settings, Application manager, Installed apps.
2.  Select the application, choose options and select Suite settings.
3.  Select On-screen keyboard to turn it off.

That's all. You can do this for any Java app that has the on-screen keyboard on.

I can not find the energy to argue between Halo and Grand Torismo series

No one brought up halo, you did, remember?

@ritchboy
Like i have been saying, i have been gaming since when i was 5, possibly at that time you couldn't even handle a game Pad.  i am miles ahead of you in the gaming world, my Gaming site would live! soon. still in talks with the major parties involved,  takie

Well La-di-da!, My dad had a console consisting of "Pong based games" before I was born (that's pre-Atari and the Commodore 64, in-case you don't know). Gaming since you where 5 doesn't make you a Video games expert.

I own a 360, I had the choice of buying a 360 or a PS3 but I went for the 360 because it was more appealing to me. You don't see me dissing the PS3 or the Wii just because I prefer my Xbox360.

If I was financially buoyant I would own all 3 consoles because it pains me that I miss out on the other exclusives; specifically Metal Gear Solid 4 and god of war III (because I owned a PS2 and would love to finish the stories), I don't like the wii because of the games but won't mind owning one as I miss the Mario games cos i grew up on them,

I don't know how hard it is for you to understand that we've all got choices and you can stick to yours without shoving it up all our throats!, I would never understand the beef you've got with the xbox, I guess that's just what Fanboys do.

kosovo:
@audacious, how was killzone2 a disapointment?

Errm, because it flopped and didn't turnout to be the killer PS3 App (which it was so hyped as for such a long time)

kosovo:
Heavy rain is not the ' same old game' as u put it, Heavy rain just created a gnere for it self, a game with over 2000 script and multiple scenerio is like nothing else in the gaming industry.

And what Genre might that be?. Role play?, interactive game? (if you take a moment and get the fan boyism out of the way you would see that it's all hype and marketing. Nothing in Heavy Rain is new), after all the 2000 scripts and multiple scenario stuff it still turned out like all the other hyped PS3 Games, failed to be the killer app.

kosovo:
Dont bring Halo sales into the Picture, becos thats xbox biggest game. as HALO is to XBOX, so aslo Grand Torismo is to PLAYSTATION. Grand Torismo is bigger than the name Halo.

Ha ha haaaaa, no PS3 game has (can) come close to it, you know that and thanks for mentioning it, I didn't even have to!


@Kosovo as I've said earlier, we waited for Killzone2 and Heavy Rain. We'll also wait for Gran Turismo.

kosovo:
very Funny,  according to sony, Heavy rain sales was way beyond their expectations. Heavy rain has just created a genre in the gaming industry and alot of developers are thinking toward that direction. 'interactive story'

@ritchboy , Heavy rain is not an average Game,. Thank you.

Grand Torismo is Sony Driving force. That game alone can sell 2 million consoles, it's the best driving simulator anywhere and it's only possible on the Playstation Franchise, Kaz is one of the most respected developer out there, a perfectionist,

Yeah yeah, "according to sony". They (and you) hyped killzone 2, disappointment followed. They hyped Heavy rain, same old same old, we waited for both of em and we'll wait for Gran Torismo too (I ain't holding my breath though cos it'll also sell way beyond Sony's expectations  )

kosovo:
Everything is Falling apart for the XBOX360. The poor port of bayyonetta was due to the fact that Platinium games made the game specifically for the 360 and gave it to SEGA to do a Port. SEGA destroyed the entire experience,  But bayonetta isnt anywhere close to the GOWIII, and that speaks volumes.

Plantinum games is making up for that by making the PS3 the lead Consol for thier upcoming shooter, EA's medal of hornor is using the PS3 as the Lead console, team Bondi have recently complained about the 360 and it's incapability to run LA Noire. Capcom has similar issues when they cried out that lost planet lost contents due to the 360. Cryengine was made with the PS3 in mind. Optimized for the PS3 complex cell. Thinking that the $600 Million Sony invested in the CELL was a waste is totally DUMB!  WAIT TILL GRAND TORISMO COMES OUT.

He he he, it's no longer "wait till Heavy Rain and Gran Torismo come out"

The fact that the site had to include "Keep in mind that the crowd was full of nothing but hardcore Final Fantasy fans" says it all. It's amazing the amount of energy you spend looking for faults or dissing the Xbox, Get a life, Fan boy!

All ya'll yapping about civil servants being lazy and only come to work on paydays should take a more critical look at the situation before criticizing their demands for an increase in the minimum wage (though I agree that the amount they are clamoring for is too high)

With the kind of minimum wage being payed now, how do you expect an individual to survive without doing other jobs or collecting kickbacks? You might say that is not an excuse but tell that to your kids or wife when you come home at the end of the month and your salary can't pay for school fees, house rent, food e.t.c.

Without a conducive work environment + poor pay, why would civil servants be motivated to work?

Been using Security Essentials for two months now (on Windows 7) and it has so far worked well without any issues. Simple, Clean and straight forward interface. Plus I like that it's not a resource hug, I would recommend it for an average PC user.

Is it just me or has the quality of officiating at the Nations cup been poor. The main areas of poor officiating for me are the offside decisions and a lot of questionable fouls given. CAF needs to do something about this.

Try Microsoft Security Essentials, it does the basics. Here are a couple of reviews for you:

M sorry, Kojima owns Metal Gear Solid and anything relating to it,  If he leaves ,  Konami is dead! Pro evolution soccer has already lost it's way.

My guy, drop this ish, Koijima created the Metal Gear Series but doesn't own it. If you own any of the Metal Gear games you can as well take a look  at the bottom of the back cover and read who owns the Registered Trademark. Then come hear and tell us the truth before tendering your apology   

Call of Duty: World at War

Watching AIT and they are showing "Super Eagles Appreciation Dinner", and I'm like what the hell. What are they appreciating? I tire for this country O!

@ Poster, why are you even asking here. If I want to deposit money for you, do I need your ATM card number and PIN? No be only your account number I suppose ask for. Na greed dey blind people,

I don't know if this is the final design but for me the old one was better in terms of providing information about their services. What's the point of having a fancy website that provides little o no information about your services to customers.

Possible PSN premium services detailed in leaked survey?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/19/possible-psn-premium-services-detailed-in-leaked-survey/

kosovo:
You fail to realize that Halo is Xbox Biggest Franchise, What Sony Has been doing this Gen is to promote New IPs and possible create new genres - HEAVY RAIN. etc
  AS HALO is to XBOX,
       MARIO is to NINTENDO. so also
       GRAND TORISMO is to PLAYSTATION.

      both Microsoft and Nintendo  have seen several release of their biggest franchise.
     
      But Sony hasn't droped te Gun on Grand Torismo yet.
       PlayStation will see the release of its biggest Franchise Next YEAR march in japan and summer in NA/Europe,  When Grand torismo 5 comes out you can talk about sales.

Failed to understand what?, if Halo is Xbox's biggest franchise I guess that's why you conveniently left it out when giving your xbox exclusives sales figures. Gears was this gen on the xbox and it was a success. Since you dodged again, I'll give it a rest. See you when Gran Turismo drops (I ain't holding my breath though, the same was said of Killzone 2 and we all know how that one turned out)

Well at least I gave links to support my posts and nice of you to dodge the Ninja Gaiden II issue. If you say the sales records on VGcharts are altered because the site is owned by an Xbox fan boy, give me an "independent" site which disproves the sales of Halo3 or Gears of War. You keep bashing the xbox 360 exclusives yet none of the PS3 exclusives have (so far) matched the best selling Xbox 360 exclusives (which I might add you have so far failed to mention).

What I'm saying is as a mod and a gaming fan, you should at least give negatives of both consoles while giving analysis. Me I'm not pro Sony or Xbox 360 and I'm pissed when either has exclusives cos that means I'm gonna miss out, but I just would never understand Fan boy-ism especially as most fan boys don't own the other console they hate.

This is so wrong as a moderator. You prefer the PS3 over the Xbox 360 fine we all get that, but don't go cooking up stories or giving us your myopic views.

First off, Ninja Gaiden II has sold over a million copies on the Xbox- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_Gaiden_II_%282008_video_game%29  (Go to the end and read the last line),  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ninja-gaiden-ii-sales-top-1-million

I never expected a mod to be so biased, going as far as posting sales records of relatively unknown games to buttress your point (seriously, who is going to buy Scene it or The idol Master). Post Sales records for Gears of war 1 and 2, Halo 3, Forza Motor sport 2 or Fable II.

For those who want the truth about game sales go here for the Xbox 360- http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?console=X360  and here for the PS3- http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=PS3&publisher=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total

Because it's quite clear that the only thing Kosovo's "Moderating" is the PS3.

*and looking at the figures got me thinking, texazzpete has a point about PS3 owners being blue-ray players.

The advert is not complete, where's a picture of the PSP, what Model is it, PSP 1000 , PSP 2000 or PSP 3000? and What accessories come with it (ear piece, memory card).

i no 4 sure dat mcse means microsoft security essentials,but don't no d meaning of mcitp.mcse has just bin launched n i don't think it's going 2 phased out just like dat,cause it's about the best anti-virus/windows security till date and it's just 6/7months old

Try research even if na small before you post. MCSE stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.

Yeah and they also denied they where working on a PS3 Slim before it was announced. Greed and running costs set in, Policies change. Besides what could they possibly charge for Monthly on PSN if not for Gaming?

Sony has once again hinted at plans to charge for online services via the PlayStation Network, specifically mentioning the prospect of monthly fees - although for exactly what products remains unclear.

212blaze am talking to you on my personal experience

You will not regret this . The deal is ther is no monthly download limits, once your bundle expires simply load and get connected again

It is as simple as that


If you are interested get intouch

Stay blessed

@ Patushca

Geeze, Can't you read? The person is not asking of awoof browsing, stop misleading him. Besides Zain have terrible 3G coverage in most states so I won't advice on anyone getting their Modem (unless you reside where they've got good coverage) + there's the download limit issue.

If you want one that is mobile I'll suggest you choose between Starcomms and Multilinks. Find out from people who use either of them in your area which of the networks has better EVDO (3G) coverage. Hope this helps.

Here's their websites (though you won't get much info from the multilinks site): www.starcomms.com  www.multilinks.com

I guess this settles who is better between 'em, Slim Shady with a Knock Out!!!
