That is nice, but Divx support would be better (I know its unlikely). I'll take this for starters though. It would be nice if the HD podcasts on iTunes would work in the PS3.

Super Stardust HD rocks. Even more fun than Geometry Wars and definitely worth $7.99.

Super Stadust looks impressive. I've been enjoying Geometry Wars which I bought on Steam, but I'm going to buy this as well for the PS3.

Hopefully one of these days they'll update the firmware so that it supports resume play for BDs and DVDs. I've got a Sony DVD player that'll save the resume information for the latest 40 discs. Also, I'd like to see some upscaling support for BD material that is encoded at 480.

Super Stardust is amazing. Very much worth the $8. If you like Geometry Wars, definitely download it. It has more too it and also has a co-op mode.

It is, and it's even more addicting. My friend and I made it up to rank 231 in co-op mode. Geometry Wars has better music though.

I have the 360 harmony remote, will that work with this as well?

I'm actually having a hard time configuring my Harmony remote to work correctly with all of my devices.

The harmony should work with the adapter on the link but you won't have any of the functions of the "PS" button. So you won't be able to turn it on/off using the remote.

The highly anticipated title Warhawk, a PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive, will be available both as a downloadable title via PLAYSTATION Network and at retail stores as a Blu-ray disc on August 28, 2007.

Sony's released an official statement that confirms the $59.99 price tag for Warhawk, but doesn't specify what's happening with the downloadable version. For that, we'll have to wait a little longer.

I've been playing the beta and I can say that there is no way in hell this game is worth $59. I'd say $20 would be the most I would spend for it. It's pretty fun on-line but there's nothing that hasn't already been done better by other games.

I'm not sure. I've always just used the controller.

$60 is the retail package which includes a bluetooth headset, it will also be available for purchase online. I'm guessing it will be $30-$40.

Good lord, the Sony arrogance still has not ended.

Sony says "We don't buy exclusivity. We EARN it."

In a not-very-disguised jab at Microsoft, SCEA President Jack Tretton told PSM in the latest issue:

"We have a very different approach to exclusives than some of our competitors. We don't buy exclusivity. We don't fund development. We don't, for lack of a better term, bribe somebody to only do a game on our platform. We earn it..."

He went on to say...

"Microsoft is too dependent on the third-party community, and Nintendo is too depended on first-party. We like to feel that we got a pretty good mix."

Suggest grabbing the latest PSM for the full interview - lots of good stuff in it (and I'm not just saying that because they're down the hall, seriously).


So is this supposed to be his excuse as to why they are losing exclusives like GTA4 and DMC4? Isn't he basically saying they have not earned the right to have them as exclusives?

I think he's probably at least partially responding to the recent revelation that Microsoft paid $50 million for GTA 4 exclusive content.

I don't see how refusing to pay for exclusives is arrogance...well, at least not arrogance in a bad way. Sony has deservedly taken a lot of flak for some of its initial ludicrous statements regarding the PS3, but that doesn't mean that every statement that comes from Sony is worthy of ridicule.

saw that too, really tempted to ditch the 360 for some PS3 action. After the blandness of Halo 2 campaign I've lost interest in Halo 3.

And their arrogance has also earned them third place by a wide margin. We haven't had any asinine comments from Sony execs in a while, so I guess we were due.

Didn't Sony have their own exclusivity agreements though for a fee or some sort of pay off? I could swear there was on some PS2 games.
