(hx) 03:49 PM CEST - May,31 2010 - Post a comment / read (18)
Sony announced in Japan that Firmware 3.xx for Playstation 3, which supports the option of going 3D, will release on June 10. The three lucky first recipients of 3D support will be Wipeout HD, Star Strike HD and Mr. Pain. Current owners will be able to update Wipeout and Star Strike to 3D support for free. Mr. Pain will require a separate Â¥300 purchase to unlock a 3D mode. Additionally, Sony says that it plans on updating the PlayStation 3 firmware to support 3DBD video playback. This will be available by the end of the year.

Hahaha, they want money for a 3D update? Where is your God now, mr Tomtom? :lol:

I was going to say.. oh pay and rape? Oh where is the hidden agenda by Sony, surely they must be raping something else off the box.

I don't like Sony anymore bud. I'd be playing on a Xbox 360 if I could. Since Sony removed the OtherOS option, I couldn't give a shit if a maniac walked into their offices and shot them all. They removed a feature I was heavily using. And when did I EVER say they were GOD? Go rattle Renton or Koogle's cage troll boy.

Well if you don't like SONY any more, I'd say you are in the right path. See, it's not nice when people troll back at you, heh? ;)

I'd rather have HIV than 3D.

Well, you do troll against the PC and from my point of view, you are too unfair doing so. In any case, although I generally hate consoles, Wii is out of the hate bubble. I mean this little machine is pure fun. You cann't hate that. I think I will actually get one! :D

Well I only speak from 20+ years gaming experience literally all behind a PC. I mean gee...It's not my fault people can't accept the platform is dying. Do you think denying it's dying is somehow going to save it?? I honestly believe it will only get worse on PC. I don't understand why Nvidia and ATI bother with PC at all and not just come out with their own gaming consoles. I heard a rumor a year or so ago that Nvidia was entering the console arena but I have not seen any further tech articles about it. I don't think I am trolling PC articles either, they are just there and I comment on them.

The thing that really gets me here is that the PS3 is capable of playing 3D blu-ray discs with just a firmware update, yet the corps are pushing brand new 3D players to complement your brand new 3D TV with all your other brand new shit that was fine up until some genius invented the new craze and told us what to want and like.

Also, Tom, look inside an Xbox360 or PS3... whose name do you see in there? The GPU makers are better off doing exactly that, without needing to compete with products they already have a healthy stake in.

At 22/04/2010 SONY released version 3.30, so I find it extremely difficult to believe that they will downgrade our system software to 3.20 ...
I read the source "andriasang" article, and nowhere (am I that blind?) says the version of the new system software. Remove the "3.20" from the article. It looks stupid.

And just because one stupid greedy developer (that's IDOLMINDS) sells the 3D update, it doesn't mean that all the 3D updates will be asking for money. The 2 other games (from that group) will have the 3D updates for free. It seams logical to believe that 3D updates will be free for almost all the games.

Hell, if a developer asks money for the 3D update, they need to be totally ignored. For all their gamers.

They actually do. ATi is inside the 360 and Wii and nVIDIA in the PS3. The only customs GPU/CPU are the ones on DS and PSP.

About the trolling and the PC dying issues... who cares, man!? If tomorow ATi, nVIDIA, Intel, AMD, Corsair, G.Skill, ASUS, XFX and a lot of other companies suddenly decides not to make any more gaming hardware and the developers decide not to make any more games for the PC that is going to be the day the platform dies. No mather how many guys out there are convinced that it is dying or dead... that BS is out as long as I can remember and we are still here. We still love and support the PC. I have several recent great games purchased via Steam that I still havent the time to enjoy them and I mean a lot. When there is no more games out there. When there is no more gaming hardware out there. That will be the day the platform dies. Until that day doesnt mather how many guys like you are out there and if that day comes I not going to die in sorrow, I will buy a console or whatever the fuck is out there for electronic entertaining and I think is not going to be a crappy console or a bizillion dolars PC, is going to be something else. Just take a look at the actual consoles... they are more like than a PC than a classic consoles.

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

Cheers.

Cheers. it's always been the case and the games are optimised.for them Lastly it as in its hardware, has a shelf life. There is a lot of rich company execs who , make easy money off the forced pc annual hardware upgrade cycle. I've spent thousands over near 20 years of pc gaming hardware and it's all redundant junk. i could have bought a car and a half and it would have done more and i could have sold it! I even have my megadrive cd and games which still works. The PC is scattered to the four winds and just so dysfunctional.

Dude, it's your problem if you regret your gaming years with the PC. When you are a gamer, you spend money. End of story. If you don't like that, get a mountain bike and hit the mountains!

That is not entirely truth. First of all, it's a lie that everyone is "forced" to update they hard every year. My last machine before I move to a 775 last me about 4 years and in the meantime I only expands the amount of memory and have two VGAs. With my actual PC I been using the HD4850 since it cames out two years ago and I still can play almost everything of the new games in 1920x1200, 2xAA 16xAF with all the details maxed out in an average 45 fps. Other games I need to disable the SAO variations and works OK. I still not going to change the platform cause I dont see the point yet.

About the regret... wtf man? If you like somethng, you spend on it. Doesnt mather if is hardware, audio, car audio, tuning, books, music, video or faberge eggs.

If you regret been a gamer or regret once think you like the PC is your problem. I love to spend money in my PC. Maybe I make the hardware live longer and do not change my VGA or CPU a lot because here the prices are like 50% higher that the ones in USA, but I like modding a lot and I always doing something.

Guys you cleary speak from inexperience. ffs, 20years ago 32mb edo ram cost the price of a top end graphics card today. building a rig back then was pure infancy. unless you splashed big you still had to upgrade annualy. the pc peaked in the late 90's and after that the biggest games companies died inc hardware manufacturer's like diamond 3DFX etc. sure you can hang onto not upgrading but when you decide to you find that your cpu path has been cut short by intel no longer making the ones that your mobo supports. Result a whole new board and cpu is needed.
Nothing waits for you in pc land. I'm not into a flame fest, just speaking from experience and why the pc is now nothing more than a cash cow. very little value compared to at least the 90's where games were original and partly justifiable in upgrade terms. Today there's just as much on console than on pc, where is the thousands of bucks justification in that????? see my point? no patches for nearly a year like the pc JUST to make it playable. Crazy nonsense and partly why i own a console primarily for games . If you can't understand that then your just pig ignorant and sad.

Stumpus> where is the thousands of bucks justification in that????? see my point? Nope. You just happen to like consoles. Stop trying to justify why. And for your stand and narrow point of view there's billions of people out here who are just ignorants? GO-GO-EGO-BOY!

Sigh, here's me thinking 'maybe we'll get a constructive rant going here....' Nope, clearly too fucking much to ask........
Your a classic example of todays so-called closet 'i can install a graphics card AND reinstall Win Vista or 7, therefore i'm a GURU and higher than those that own a console' -even when they were building machines when you were at school or NOT even born? Or do you just come across like that???
Your nothing more than PC zealot, that can't see further than his MOUSE cursor! I honestly should have expected nothing less. Sorry for trying to put you in a class clearly above your post, at least you've cleared the air now.

Boy do you speak like your crack head alter ego or what? Renton... :roll:

Sums your nick up perfectly don't you think? :wink: Or like you, maybe i prejudged you? Ditto.
Can't dazzle them with science, then baffle them with bullshit!
Like WTF is it with PC gamers quoting system specs as signatures!?!? Inadequate or what :lol:
I used to put pictures up of my custom built machines; paint jobs,lighting skills with sanding cataloy and shapping bass ports for fans, jigsaw perspex port holes and the like. How it looked was more a hobby than plainly sticking in a component off a shelf and then quoting it............. Where's the skill in that?? soooo bloody anal.
Who gives a shit what's in it when PC games STILL require a dozen patches to make THEM work. And that's FACT!! GTA4 et al still get patches released on PC when i've finished it looooong ago on PS3, without needing to quote whom made my GPU ROFL!!

Any fucker can buy a PC off a shelf -so called gamers PCs. But it guarantees NOTHING! It wont play the latest games at max settings without some sort of conflict or toning down. It needs babysat FOREVER and money poured down its throat for all the components to then fight with each other as to what job is to be done now. Gee whiz, half the time the CPUs cores are doing ziltch whilst chugging out sub standard frames and the graphics card (1 gig please) can't handle a screen full of shadows and some decent explosions. CPU/GPU dependant... what a pile of bull!
Oh but physx can do that AND eleviate the strain on your card to allow it to do more......like what exactly? Watch TV in 3D.....please. The PC today is like a garden shed full of the latest tools, sure everything has a job to do but most of the time only a couple of things are working properly, the rest is expensive ornamentation..sorry, hardware! Got to speak the correct lingo, like why else would i have a 6" fan and SLI graphics card combo. Thank god transistors don't move otherwise they would be dead! Exactly...

Stumpus> LOT OF CRAP

You missed my point completely...

Just take a lot at the message I wrote, the other day:

Renton> About the trolling and the PC dying issues... who cares, man!?

Just take a look at the actual consoles... they are more like than a PC than the classic consoles.

So what's the problem with someone who likes something that you don't? There's no justification for tastes. There's a lot of excuses, of course, but a taste is a taste. You used to like the PC, now you like the consoles and for me and a lot of PC Gamers it isnt the way to go or at least is the second platform (ie: multi goes to PC, exclusive goes to 360, PS3 or Wii). That happens to be your adquired taste. Live and let live.

I like to mod my PC and my games (the last more than anything). For example I own two DS for Left 4 Dead 2. One in versus with 20 slots and other in coop with 10 slots. Of course not only the slots and the netcode have been modified, but also a lot of balance or the game will be very easy even on Expert. About the GTA:IV... dont even try to compare versions. The PC one looks just awesome in comparission. And what about the Episodes? Runs great from the beggining and same launch dates for PS3 and PC. And yes, theres a lot of graphical corruption and bugs presented in the original consoles versions that have never been adressed. Only a couple of netcode patches went out for the consoles. Also is a game that can be (and it is) heavily modified.

For you the only thing that mathers is put a disc and play, well, thats enough to you. Fine by me. I not going to make a list of why I hate/don't like consoles. It'll be so stupid or fake like the things you wrote about the PC.

PS: Sorry for my bad english.
