I don't paint it because that would take a lot of time. I don't have faith in my ps3 lasting any longer than a couple years so that is even more incentive to not paint it. I do have a lot of stickers on my consoles though. It adds a special pizaaz to them. I also put stickers on my laptops...

I am glad that you feel the same way. I agree on the point about burning out an electrical socket. I live in a very old house so I worry about things like that too. This house is so old that there are bats in the cavernous basement. I feel like I am going to burn the damn thing down with all...

It matters a ton. My original PS3 fatty was so loud sometimes that I had to turn on music to drown the fan's sound out. That was quite annoying. I really hope that the PS4 is as quiet as they are making it out to be.

This is precisely the point that I have been making for years in arguments with people. I totally agree that video games enhance one's hand eye coordination, problems solving skills, finger dexterity and ability to handle pressure packed situations. I especially feel strongly about the arcade...

Well the last two posts in this thread were complete opposites. I tend to think that Sony is making less durable consoles as time progresses. My original playstation still works. My playstation 2 died but the next one that I bought worked fine for years and still works today. The playstation...

This happens to me with sports games in social environments too. We end up wagering on various aspects of the franchise modes and are sucked into a 6 hour plus marathon. It doesn't seem like that much time is going by but it sure is. The sports games are such gigantic time sucks.

Right. It's like "what gives, sony?". They knew that these controllers would not last very long for the hardcore gamers. You wonder if they are capable of making a much sturdier, solid controller and just refuse to do so in order to get us to shell out beaucoup bucks for new controllers...

Has anyone here played the 2k college hoops games on PS3? I remember someone telling me that the 2k7 or 2k8, i think it was 2k8 version of the game was fantastic. I know that they are fairly cheap and I could buy one for under twenty dollars. Has anyone gotten into this series at all? What...

This is the type of fanboy stuff that does not hold any appeal to me. It does not matter if the system has better specs. What matters is how developers view the system. Is it easy to develop games for? That's what really matters. The software developers are the people that really matter as...

Yep. Video games are helpful in real life! I actually first learned the stick shift on an arcade driving game. I can't remember the name of it though. I had a blast using those driving simulators in arcade games. Whenever I bring up this argument with girls they go mute. It's as if they...

Ha, nice information about your college football dynasty. Those college football games take forever to get through in the off season recruitment stages. They go at a snail's pace during that part of the game. I can see why it took you all those hours to progress through the dynasty mode. It...

I gave it a shot for a few rounds but was not that impressed. I really like Rocky for PS2. I think ready 2 rumble boxing was also released on the dreamcast. If I remember correctly, that is the version that I played. I thought that the graphics were decent and the game had fun cartoon style...

The review is fairly good. I am going to hold off judgment until the online component is active. That will determine if this is one of the best games ever made. The controls bother me a little but I can't complain that much. This is very high quality. The police also are able to bust you...

But where do you draw the line? If these microtransactions give certain online gamers an unfair advantage then the court of public opinion might turn against you and hurt your sales in the future. There is a lot of outrage over this on the Internet. It will be interesting to see just how much...

Great news. I was hoping that the fan would have lower noise. The fact that it is smoothing out instead of abruptly starting and stopping is also fantastic news. The PS3 fan was really a pet peeve of mine. It is so incredibly loud, especially on the fattys compared to the slims.

I always make this point when arguing with people about which sex is the best at driving. I point out that all the time that boys spend in arcades (back in the day) or on their video games in these racing simulators makes them superior drivers. Most girls do not play racing games to the extent...

I heard that rockstar will allow people to purchase money for microtransactions during online play via credit cards. That is kind of annoying. I don't think it will ruin the online play component but it will definitely taint it. Those people will have an unfair advantage, don't you think?

The colors look rich and vibrant. I think the UI will be smooth and user friendly. I love the shade of blue that is in those pictures. I expect a good user experience from sony. They've always done a good job at it. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Does anyone else feel like it is too easy for the police to waste you? I feel like once I hit three stars then I am cooked no matter what I do. I feel like they made it too difficult to go around shooting up random people in the game and running into random cars/people. I guess they are...

I actually bought a fatty on the first day that it was released about 5 years ago or so. I was happy with it back then but it eventually got really loud and broke. So, I purchased a PS3 slim which did last for a few years but also ended up breaking. I'm on my third PS3 now and it works fine...
