I was given a link this morning to an article that was written in December last year by a games developer who has worked on both platforms. Given that games will win this console war I think the developers perspective is very important. He does remain anonymous so we cannot say for sure that he is a developer but the …

So as you are all aware the PS3 finally hit our shores last night… I managed to shake off some flu and get out to take some pictures… All in all it was a very low key affair with very little happening at either of the shops I went to. According to the forums there was a big launch party …

Whilst SK are refusing to hand out information on how many PS3’s are going to hit the SA market, Shannon from BT Games has given some insider information to IT Web. She states that only 5000 units have been brought into SA for the release and off that BT Games has been allocated 322 (400 previously) units. Look & Listen …

Those clever people over at Joystiq have been nice enough to search through the PS3 BC website to see how many titles are compatible. http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/ What I did find a bit wrong is that on the official Sony BC site if a game doesn’t work they just don’t list it, which makes it difficult to see how many are not supported …

 Okay I recently blogged about the new PS3 ad that is being flighted and how bad I found them to be.. I was then told that maybe I should do some more investigating before just passing them off as bad advertising…. So I did :), the advertising firm running these new PS3 ads is TBWA, who happen to be the …

So only 5 days after reporting poor pre-orders for the PS3 GAME has come out and called the demand “phenomenal”… “With a huge range of titles available for launch and having so much more functionality than any other games console, our customers can’t wait to get their hands on this incredible machine.” Sorry but that doesn’t cut it, hyping up the …

So USA Today has written an article talking about the PS3 vs the Wii in sales. While the PS3 got off to a slow start and at one stage was outsold 3(Wii):1 in the States it has now clawed back some ground to a more please 2:1. They expect the PS3 and Xbox 360 each to sell 10 million this …

I have been told that I just don’t understand the PS3 adverts and that they are really very good. ? No they are not. Yes I see the different gameplay in each person in the ad and I see that they are trying to get across that PS3 is like really living. But I think it’s stupid. I have a …

Just days after Sony lost the exclusivity of DMC4 the rumours are starting that it may also lose the exclusivity to Final Fantasy 13… I reported in my DMC4 post that the last 2 remaining big guns for the PS3 would be Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid….. Georges Fornay, SCEE Vice President, mentioned in an interview for a French Newspaper that …

Goldman Sachs analyst Yuji Fujimori (Say that 10 times fast), has predicted a $100 price drop for the PS3 in October this year. Bringing the PS3 down to about R5400 which is still steep but makes it more affordable and more desirable. How are Sony going to manage a price cut? Basically just the price of parts coming down and …

New Line cinemas have announced that they have won the rights to make a Gears of War movie. So what else can you say about that? Cool. Who should play which parts? I think Samuel L Jackson would make a killer Cole and most probably Vin Diesel could be Dom…. You would obviously expect Anya to play a much larger …

Ace Combat a series that started on the PS1 before becoming very popular through the life span of the PS2 has now been announced as a Xbox 360 exclusive!.
