!EVERYTHING! PS3

[ViCe]

dey cant charge period imo
it go alienate ppl who buy into d "ps3 FREE online" thing

IF they keep it free to play online and also hav a premium service where u get added functionality that is WORTHWHILE then by all means charge we mc i wont mind i wud b 1st in line to subscribe.

[woodyear99]

Yeah last thing Sony wants is a IW type fiasco on their console. The full wrath of the innanetz would rain upon them :p

[chinarakinda]

If its an optional service, I wouldn't subscribe. I not paying for 2 subscriptions for 2 consoles. Is either one or the other.

Maybe if they take off region blocking from their movie library.

Ahhhh, what did I say from the beginning....trap the PS3 people with FREE and then start to charge ITMC!! Typical Marketing strategy....It was only a matter of time. I assume if it is for online play, then they need to definitely revamp their Online Service substantially to justify a pay to play system. I said it back when it started and I will be keeping my eye on it to see if in fact I was right all along.

[TriniXaeno]

just want to highlight a human phenomenon: "people value what they pay for"

If you paying US$50 a year for online play on xbox 360, think you gonna let that money go to waste???

Any penny pincher will try  to get some value for that money.

If it's free...like with the PS3....no biggie. Let the thing languish in a corner. It's gratis after all.

Who hear does't try to get there money's worth out of that $200+ monthly DSL/Cable internet bill?

Same philosophy generally applies to anything you had to work hard for in life. (and the reverse is also true, easy come...easy go)

[Redlum08]

I get what you're saying Baego, but my point is, if I am going to pay for PSN then it better be on the same level if not BETTER than Xbox Live. Otherwise you are paying for a substandard online service for online play. Look at what happened with MW2, Activision servers for PSN was down from being overwhelmed and Foz was home scratching her head trying to play online and couldn't....as compared to the Xbox Live gamers who were all online having a good time. Just saying...

Never! PSN will remain free, all that pay talk lies I tell you lies!

PSN to Get Premium Subscriptions?

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96224-PSN-to-Get-Premium-Subscriptions

Sony's PlayStation Network could be joining its rival Xbox Live with a subscription revenue model - but only for "premium content," says Sony boss Kaz Hirai.

One of the advantages frequently pointed out by PS3 fan(boy)s is that Sony's PSN is free, whereas Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold requires a subscription fee. When some sharp-eyed folks noticed that Slide 39 in this Sony presentation at a "Media/Investor Conference" labled one of the PSN's strengths as a "new revenue stream from subscription," predictably, some Sony fans reacted as though the sky was falling - how could wonderful Sony turn their backs on us devotees?

Not to worry, says Mr. Ridge Racer Kaz Hirai. Yes, the media giant is looking at adding subscriptions to PSN, but only for new forms of content - in other words, Kaz is saying that you'll be still be able to play online for free:

"SCE will further increase sales by offering users new entertainment through the combination of hardware, software, peripheral and PlayStation Network ... [e]specially in the online area, we are studying the possibility of introducing a subscription model, offering premium content and services, in addition to the current free services."

Of course, now the question becomes, "What, exactly, does 'premium content and services' entail?" Let's take Sony at face value for now and assume that nothing will be removed from the current PSN, everything included with the subscription will all be additional. What would Sony have up its sleeve to make it worth the fee? Extra demos? Exclusive skins and artwork? Download speeds that don't suck?

Hmm for example a premium service could be cross game voice chat....only $9.99 USD a month, enhanced friends list $5.00 USD a month. Woohoo! Just kidding :p

[TriniXaeno]

yeah red, I wasn't commenting on the quality of the service....just the human nature when it comes to value.

Of all platforms, the PC has the best online service imo and that's free.

Great service can be offered for gratis. PSN has no excuse for lackluster features. I'm not trying to defend them or "big up" there network.

[woodyear99]

Yeah PSN has improved alot since launch but it still has a long way to go indeed.

[ViCe]

not so much a long way imo
it right there in comparision to xbl they jus need to stop stickin

cross game chat, and a party system..das all they missing

@ red PSN will be free to play online they wont change that
expect sumting along the lines of Qore where it is an optional choice
i subsribe to Qore an it was well worth it imo

Spike TV's VGAs GOTY Nominees Include No Killzone 2
How could they!? Sad. 

[ViCe]

^ some1 buys into hype alot i see

now i know u dont have much common sense eh so try to pay attention and pay attention well

1st me an shiv were talkin bout this last night spike in it for ratings and to plz fans
2nd and this is d funny part where common sense comes in
u doh find it weird that a game that came out this week nominated for GotY???


u also realise inFamous not even on da list.
ps3 titles hardly ever get goty honours and u shud know that

now ah know this hard for u eh cuz u kinda ignorant and does hav yuh head rammed up yuh ass crak with shit clogged in yuh ears so yuh just refuse to hear but try....try hard

Many still consider Killzone 2 to be the flagship shooter game for the PS3, which is arguable with Uncharted 2's multiplayer being just as, if not more stellar. But nonetheless, isn't it safe to say Killzone 2 brought more uniqueness to the FPS genre than say... Left For Dead 2? What about Modern Warfare 2; which don't get me wrong, is a fantastic game, but is really just a rehashing of the first Modern Warfare with new perks, killstreaks, weapons, and maps.

Um. I don't really care about the back and forth that gonna ensue between vice and zenmaster now.
All i wanna say is to zenmaster.
You do realise that spike VGA's is gametrailers right? The same people that would put two different screens up and label the better looking one "360 screen" yet on the screen it said press triangle. 
It's obvious, ps3 exclusives not gonna win any awards there. As the link you just posted implies, no kz2 in there is just a farce. Surprised u actually posted that link since it implies that the writer disagrees with the fact kz2 is not there, seeing as you seem to hate kz2 so much in most of your posts.  :/ (Maybe i'm wrong)
Only reason U2 is there is because they know they wouldn't get away with not putting it in the nominees. I don't expect it to win seeing as MGS4 didn't win last year either.
Again. Spike VGAs = nonsense.

[AR!Ø]

Should Infamous really be on that list though? Don't get me wrong here; I did like the story and general idea of the game. It's just that I found it boring. I loved the free movement thing, but all in all, it just felt like Spiderman 2 did it better.

[ViCe]

gamespot givin away bfbc2 beta codes free to members just got mines and dloadin now
check d site

[woodyear99]

How do I get in on this? Only for qore subscribers?

[wowkasumi]

[zenmaster]

infamous, like killzone 2 was not that good

[woodyear99]

The beta? Just go on gamespot.com. If you're a member just go into the beta key link and they'll tell you register (fields already completed) and you'll get a key.

Wow thanks, it took me like 60 seconds to get a beta key. I think I'll prefer this over MAG :p

[wowkasumi]

Maybe in your opinion. But i'd bet they're both better than Lfd2.
But kz2 was excellent in my opinion. Alot of depth and had endless possibilities. I guess not everyone can appreciate that it wasn't a typical shooter.
Even if i counted that as the reason for people not liking multiplayer it doesn't backup your statement that it wasn't good. Kz2 campaign was pretty good and the graphics were excellent. Set the standard for what games should look like on a ps3 really.
Just saying it's not good in your opinion doesn't ACTUALLY make the game not good.
Definitely deserved a spot on GOTY list.
And Infamous was pretty awesome too. Don't know why you don't like it but hey that's your opinion.
@ Ario.  Which spiderman 2 you're talking bout man? Not sure i remember which one.
