My words may not convince you but I hope that your heart (or what's left of it) will be filled with regret by seeing this picture. #bandhero

Christ. Someone needs to shut these guys up, i'm so sick of listening to them now. If you look at my post history you will probably see i was quite a big supporter of IW but i couldn't care less about them anymore. Sure MW2 will be fun and will sell silly amoutns but the amount of negative shit that they have shoehorned into this game coupled with their piss poor attitude makes me want to the game to fail. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Beating Jackal single player was one of the greatest achievements of my adolescence....that, Bionic Commando, Ninja Gaiden, Guardian Legend, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, Batman and Blaster Master pretty much cemented me as the Wizard of my neighborhood.

I can relate to these guys...after I bought the first game I too felt like I was ambushed and about to get sodomized. #kanelynch2dogdays

So, as PC gamers, how about we all just go buy Bad Company 2 and enjoy EA....actually willing to support dedicated servers, mods, and player control. Hell, even Battlefield Heroes got a notice saying they'll support dedicated servers for as long as the game is running and offer rentable servers.

My god, EA is becoming the patron saint of PC gaming........ #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Personally I willing accept our new PC Gaming Messiah. Also since EA owns the C&C IP, they're messiah poster boy can be Kane :D #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Yay, because I'm sure nobody got enough of Raiden's naked ass running around in MGS2. I'd point out that this all seems like a desperate attempt to do something controversial if this information is proven true, but I hear people tend to lose their jobs for having a negative opinion on Kane & Lynch. #kanelynch2dogdays

Would anyone buy this after the disaster of a "haunted house simulator" that was released earlier this year? This sounds slightly more intriguing, but I'm sure only the best parts were shown and, after the first game, can't imagine this one coming together in any way positive enough to get people to shell out $50. Can your character, at the very least, move more than .2 miles per hour? Gah! I hated the first Wii "game." I'll keep my eye on this, only because I love survival horror. But unless there are some huge improvements, I won't be picking it up if/when it's eventually released. #calling

While we're on the subject of PS3 streaming, I wanted to point out a site I co-run called Streaming Soon. We basically keep track of all the upcoming TV & Movie releases for Netflix streaming - in an effort to save you unnecessary disc rentals, but also to help point out upcoming releases you may not have previously known about, or thought to look up :)

We do this on our own, but also with the help of the Netflix community as a whole (to track down upcoming releases - see the disclaimer at the page bottom for how). Netflix even features us in their official App Gallery!

So, give our site a look, and subscribe to our Twitter as well... we keep things updated on both fronts, and love to serve our Netflix friends.

Netflix on the PS3 vs. on the 360: 1. Picture quality was identical, except for the few movies that stream in HD on the 360 that didn't seem to on the PS3 (you'll only notice if you have an HDTV). 2. It takes longer to fast-forward or rewind video on the PS3 (but, unlike with the now presumably obsolete PlayOn, at least it CAN fast-forward & rewind). 3. You can't change the aspect ratio on a 4:3 movie (at least not with the remote or on-screen menu). 4. It doesn't display the amount of time played in the video and the amount of time remaining.

None of the above are deal-breakers and overall I'm pretty impressed with Netflix on the PS3. It's not as good as the 360's version, but it's better than I thought it would be. If anyone knows if there IS a way to change aspect-ratio on videos, let me know. That's the one serious negative on the PS3 vs. the 360.

@Sloopydrew: Everything that streamed in HD on the 360 has likewise streamed in HD on the PS3, at least for me.

Pressing pause brings up a progress bar. It shows you approximately how far into the program you are. Now while it doesn't show you how much time is left, a little quick math will allow you to take the current running time from the program's total running time to figure out how much time the program has left. It's not ideal, but it's workable. But yeah, you absolutely can tell how long the video has been playing, at least.

I can't figure out for the life of me if there's a method for changing the aspect-ratio, though.

That's the only real negative that I've found, and it's not even too big a deal, given that I tend to just watch all my 4:3 programs in widescreen anyway. I got used to seeing folks stretched out unnaturally. :P #netflixps3

@Sloopydrew: Mine displays how much time has been played and how much is remaining. Why doesn't yours? 0.o

Don't know about changing the aspect ratio, though. #netflixps3

@Mobusaki: Yeah, I just rechecked, and on top of showing you the time elapsed, it shows the time remaining as well.

So yeah, the only real negative is the inability to change the aspect, and that's not really that huge a problem, IMO. #netflixps3

@Cyberxion101: That was the only thing I really had issues with. Can't stand people being all "stretchy." I'm guessing it's something we haven't figured out OR something that they'll figure out and fix. For now, I'll just stick with widescreen movies on the PS3 and watch 4:3 stuff on the 360. #netflixps3
