The "principle" is the crux here. Regardless of what it is, a significant feature was removed without any say from paying customers, arguably a feature that was utilized hundreds of thousands of times more on 3DS than "Other OS" ever was by any PS3 users. All I'm looking for is a little similar outrage ... and I'm… Read more

So...where is the caustic, indignant outrage from the crew that pissed and moaned when Sony turned off Other OS, not because they ever used it, but on "principle alone". I'm not seeing that level of anger here over a service and a feature that is advertised as a part of the 3DS experience and that has now been removed. Read more

The reason that Vita memory cards are proprietary is the on-board encryption. Sucks that they're expensive, hopefully they continue to trend downward in price. Read more

Sorry Godzilla, as many others have illustrated, you're wrong. Exactly as they did with PS3 they are using non-proprietary HDDs. You are welcome to install any laptop-sized SATA hard drive with a minimum of 160GB. Read more

I have MP-01 Masterpiece Prime, and it's still one of the best Masterpiece figures that Takara/Hasbro has done. From the moveable mouth-shield that you can articulate with a button to simulate Prime talking, to the flip open computer panels on his arms that were featured in a few G1 cartoon episodes to the removable… Read more

The Blu-Ray one is the ONLY one that has me a bit perplexed, but a lot of Blu-Rays have network features, so who knows. Read more

Then it's likely both. Unlock on features and small patches where they've determined them necessary via late pre-launch testing. Read more

Damn, you beat me to it. Also, yes. Spot-on observation. Read more

This is clearly more of a "security unlock" on features to prevent users from getting their hands on PS4's (which may currently be in shipping/warehouse situations and subject to theft), taking them home, powering up and going live with system features/network stuff prior to street date. Read more

As long as you don't think that HD-DVD won the format war then you don't need to clarify that you were being sarcastic. Read more

In case you haven't noticed, nobody is laughing. Read more

How can there be any "debate" over which physical format "won the war"? Read more

I'll just leave this here...

Cool! Glad I waited. Further evidence that whenever a 3rd party game developer/publisher says "never" (or whatever rhetoric is considered as much) in regards to a game not appearing on a competing platform, that there is always a possibility for that promise to be incorrect. Read more

Vine is totally dead.

Aw, boo, I was looking forward to downloading the PLUS version at launch. :( Read more

LOU REED is FULL OF WIN. Awesome choice Sony.

Checking Roger Craig Smiths' filmography I see that he's the narration on DIY Network's Yard/House/Room/Bath Crashers shows! Those are some damn fine Sunday morning marathon viewing that I am very familiar with. If we can't for some arbitrary reason have Kevin Conroy for this installment, I'm fine with Smith. Read more

Baker is fucking brilliant. So happy to have him. Read more

That AND they stole the Darkwing Duck font for their logo! INEXCUSABLE! Read more
