EXACTLY, and in turn Kotaku aren't describing it correctly. Thank you. Read more

No, I'm thinking that something isn't right here. This appears to be a review of the "second screen" feature where a PS4 communicates directly with a Vita similar to the Wii-U's gamepad. I would assume that this feature has a similar in-house raduis to the Wii-U's gamepad. I've connected to my PS3 in standby mode from… Read more

Ummmmm ... I'm missing something. With PSP OR VITA-to-PS3 "remote play" you can access your PS3 from any wireless internet access point, anywhere. Not all PS3, PS2, PS1 or Minis work, but SOME do. Once the devices are sync'ed you can log in and remotely control a PS3 that is powered on or in standby mode. Is this… Read more

There are any number of outlets that sell sheets of adhesive rubber stabilizing feet. They're not expensive at all and will rectify this perceived problem for anybody who feels it needs it. Here. You're welcome. http://www.ebay.com/itm/96-SELF-AD… Read more

Sorry, the original XBOX did not "launch" with media server capabilities. In fact, it needed to be modded to do anything of the sort. Read more

It's clear that they'll add it just give them a little time. Read more

The system is going to have a 10 year+ life cycle, as long as they get the feature out in the early portion of that cycle, they'll be fine. Read more

Except for the fact that you'll potentially miss sale items on the core PSN on-system-store and/or Sony's website store if you only check Amazon. Presently if you decided to by Guacamele on a whim, you'd be paying MORE for it on Amazon than you would on the PSN. So, this new system is going to require some… Read more

If I recall correctly, PS3 didn't launch day-1 with with media server features. Those were a year 1 addition as well. Read more

It's all very interesting but I still think highly speculative to get AS excited as I'm seeing some people get at this point. Worst case scenario if I wind up saving a few bucks on digital PSN content here/there or if they ever offer anything up for free I won't turn my nose up at it. Read more

"Competition" should encompass "competitive pricing" so, what you're saying is that - Amazon can do whatever the hell they want with pricing on digital codes for PSN games? If they wanted to, they could sell "Game X" for a dollar. Please confirm that is what you're saying because, really, I'm desperate to understand… Read more

Okay people, I'm very very confused here. I see a see of celebratory comments heralding this as a truly great thing, but, as somebody who purchases games on PSN on practically a weekly basis I fail to understand - WHY? Why is this a better deal/more convenient than purchasing my games and redeeming my free PSN+… Read more

See, if I have one MASSIVE gripe about both XBL Achievements and PSN Trophies/Levels in the previous generation that doesn't look like it's going to be a reality in the next generation, it's that you've got a massive network of users and two companies (Sony and Microsoft) monitoring every single point being scored ...… Read more

Now you know!

You're thinking waaaay too hard about it. There is absolutely zero "mystery" as to how Trophies and PSN "levels" work. This explains it all for you:

How many points are each trophy worth? What is the value of each type of trophy?

Bronze: 15
Silver: 30
Gold: 90
Platinum: 180

How many points does it take to get to each level?

L… Read more

Okay, I'm confused. Even if hypothetically this guy had 10 credit cards, he still had to successfully repeatedly dispute charges from Amazon and Kickstarter multiple times. At what point do any of these credit card companies stop to review his activity and realize that he's at least potentially the one scamming goods… Read more

And the day that Bayonetta 2 is released is the day I purchase a Wii-U. Read more

You're welcome to dig up statistics if they're available, but if you're going to tell me with a straight face that you believe that as many if not more PS3 users used Other OS than 3DS users used swapnote, you sir, are crazy. Read more

True. And I understand Sony's reason for removing it. Again, we're not weighing the quantity or value of the application, only that it was a thing that was a part of the core OS that was removed. Principle. Focus on that concept. Read more

They didn't remove it for close to 3 years. Weak defense is weak. Read more
