    Sony Home - The official thread*

    No - I understand the point of it. It is just an extremely confined area you seem to be in with no content at all to customise it (the only furniture you can put out is a sofa, a lamp, a couple of chair types - all white too). As these appeared/were touted to be the strong points, it doesn't...

    Sony Home - The official thread*

    I'm in on the beta now (must be a heavy PSN user, not sure in what way) and I must say it is all very bland: limited costumes, limited furniture, limited areas.

    Nintendo To Begin Charging Money For Some Online Gaming ?

    Sony won't charge fees for the service, it'll just be an extra $X on the game. The 'casual online' market will soak it up and fund the hardcore (think of the 'bell' curve).

    Warner Exclusive Blu-ray= More PS3 sold?

    Will they have to pay back that $150m? If not, boy was that a good bit of business.

    Warner Exclusive Blu-ray= More PS3 sold?

    it's official. Toshiba just made a statements saying, " it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders."

    *Spin off* Bill of Materials and Cost/Price Reductions of Current Consoles

    Isn't the MS figure the entire 'entertainment' division?

    Warner Exclusive Blu-ray= More PS3 sold?

    There is a certain irony in the digital distribution arguments being put forward here. All of the advocates seemingly accept that is impossible to download 1080p movies with 6 channel audio on todays cable connections. They then say "well it doesn't have to just be online, you could use stores...

    Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote & PS Eye *

    I think he is using lateral movement to adjust the angle. When he's walking through and demonstrating the range of movement, the sensor bar is never angled - just moved through the 6 dimensions. There isn't any way of doing it with 1 webcam and 2 identical light sources (you could pulse them...

    PS3 and Toshiba's Super Companion Chip..

    Is that just the die shrink coming into effect though? I don't have any numbers on the dimensions, but a 90nm big chip will be smaller at 65nm (though, not substantially).

    PS3 and Toshiba's Super Companion Chip..

    But it's not being used for any of those things. This is why there is such an issue with its presence!

    Uncharted : Drake's Fortune*

    I noticed one or two, but over the course of the game I was willing to forgive it (this is a tech. forum, so I won't :twisted:). They also seemed to occur after movies, which is strange when you consider Ninja Theory using cutscenes to explicitly hide load times. I was a bit disappointed with...

    Uncharted : Drake's Fortune*

    Just completed this. This is GOTY without a doubt, I don't know why (or how) anyone in the media can suggest otherwise. The graphics are simply stunning, and while the game isn't especially challenging due to IMO the seamless loading/saving, when combined with the story it is an outstanding...

    PS3 and Toshiba's Super Companion Chip..

    This begs the question that I have asked before. Why, if the SCC is present, are there separate controllers for SATA, USB, .... ? Also, the SCC was also designed to perform video scaling, why is it not used either?

    Burnout: Paradise City

    By the sounds of it, they started development before the PS3 was the designated third horse. They haven't ruined the game, it just doesn't run quite so well. Also, if what nAo etc. have said, targeting for the PS3 should mean good performance on the 360.
