Instead of “It begins”, shouldn’t they be saying “It installs”?

Got to love how SDF wank over stuff the Xbox was doing 5 YEARS ago. All this should have been incorparated from the go, not 2 years after.

LOL @ the_chosen_one,

true that. MGS4 would easily fit onto a DVD9 disc. Look at PC games, and how much better they are to console ames, yet not one still tops a DVD9.

The reason Bluray uses up so much space is because it reads at 2x speed only, requiring the same data to be printed over and over. Nothing more.

When MGS4: Substance hits the 360 in like 6-12 months and is updated, everyone will know the truth and laugh at SDF too.

@ slimster

“It took almost 2 yrs to finally have a must have game with MGS4 (which Hans has definatly NOT played), and even then itâ€™s a 3rd party game that could easily be released for the 360 in 6 months.”

Don’t say that, the fools at SDF think it will fill 4-40 discs! Although I pointed out a perfectly good explanation why it will be 1-2 discs…

Surely something like this is something that should have been shipped with the PS3?

Although in an interview Sony themselves just before the PS3 came out said that only “certain segments, of a certain audience” would like to play games online.

How wrong he was, which is why XBL is the leading online service for consoles.

It may cost 11p a day but we get quality.

Remember when 700,000 people tried to sign in to GTA on PS3, the servers melted totally, and GTA online went down for PS3

But when 1,200,000 people signed into Halo 3, the servers carried on without so much as a judder.

Isn’t in game XMB/friendslist something Sony has been promising in the “next” firmware update for over a year now?

Lol SDF wishing for features that XBL has had for years. “Hey Sony, Hey Sony! Hey Sony, will this update give us custom soundtracks?” “NO!” “Nyoro~n”

BTW in my previous comment – I asn’t implying that XBL is crap, it was part of the scenario. I happen to use XBL rather a lot. ‘Tis fun =]

This may seem a bit of a daft question, but if XBox Live is so inferior to PSN (as we’re told so often here) why are Sony making a fuss about a firmware update that’s about to arrive and kick the already crap XBL in the ‘nads?
Is it because Sony themselves know PSN is shite, and they’ve got catching up to do? In the event of that being true, it also means that (gasp!) SDF have done what any true fanboy would do, and insisted that their system was better from the beginning, while Sony themselves knew otherwise?
