New Feature: Comment of the Week

January 26th, 2008 m0dus

New feature here at SDF Towers. Comment of the Week is just what it says on the tin – our pick for best comment of the week.

Thanks to everyone for their contribution – we’ll be contacting the lucky winner soon with a copy of one of our top rated PS3 games Lair (which we awarded an unprecedented 10/10 to).

So without further ado, here is the winning comment from nextgenuser:

1: PS3 Outsold Xbox360, true fact. Anyways, 50% of Xbox360 are break, because of his 3rd world materials, kthxbye.

2: The reason because GTA was delayed, its 360 fault. Because, x360 doesnt have any special programming, and is not hard to create a game, so they can sell you a piece of shit and xboxers will buy it anyway. PS3 needs a TRUE programming, PS3 needs quality, so it takes a bit longer, and only true gamers will buy the game for PS3.
All ports are “bad” on PS3 because of x360, anyways, 360 is going down FAST, so, who cares about 360 since microsoft is failing like the old xbox.

3: I have a 60gb PS3, so, what’s the problem if 40gb ones cant play PS2 games? is just like an Add-on, if you want to play PS2 games, run them in PS2 like everyone does. Maybe you are one of those that wants to run a SNES game on DS, using the old game cart, better luck next time xboxtroll.

4: PS3 outsold 360 on Japan, even Wii outsold 360, everyone knows that, because Japan hates microsoft and they just want quality before retardism and easy-programming games.

5: PS3 is better than Xbox360 on all ways.
PS3 has better graphics.
PS3 has a RAM 7 times faster than xbox360.
PS3 has a Cell, like 10 times better than the 360.
PS3 has Blu-Ray, not like 360 with DVD, and the DEAD HD-DVD.
Actually, PS3 is better, the only problem is that companys have to research more for it, just wait FFXIII and you will see what’s a game, and not the child-programming xbox ones, they make a game in 4 months because is easy to programm, xbox fans will buy their shitty games anyways, to get more xbox points and play tetris online or something.

6: PS2 was better than the old Xbox, because Xbox doesnt have any complicated programming. Just compare God of War or FFXII with any Xbox game, there’s an example of the TRUE gamming-programming. Xbox games were made with an advanced RPG maker or something, easy stuff.

7: Is so funny to watch xbox fans posting here, crying like the child do, and defending a dead console.

So, xbox child, I know that is hard to accept the fact that Xbox failed like HD-DVD, and I know is hard to accept that companys scams xbox fans with easy-programming games, but, is the reality, accept those facts, sell your 360 and buy a PS3, you have time now, dont keep failing. Anyways, the 90%+ of the xbox fans, will buy a PS3 thanks to Metal Gear and FFXIII, you know how this works, the best games goes to the best company =) even Wii have better games than Xbox, Failure company is Failure.

Best regards: the truth.
Oh, by the way, I expect some xbox fans comments and stuff like that, dont waste your time, I have reason, SDF have reason too, leave this war, you lost it already.

Playstation Eye, bringing it to the competition.

October 10th, 2007 blasphemy

On October the 23rd, Sony is adding another component to its successful Playstation name, the Playstation Eye. At the little price of $39.99, Playstation 3 owners will be able to add another dynamic level of gaming experience to their arsenal. What makes the Playstation Eye better than its predecessor?

  • Runs at 640 x 480 resolution at 60 FPS compared to the Xbox live vision which runs at 640 x 480 resolution at 30 FPS
  • When running at 320 x 240 it looks even better at 120 FPS
  • Built-in 4-microphone array, meaning that you could be sitting at your couch and talking without having to be close in proximity to the Playstation Eye.
  • A 2-setting zoom lens with fixed focus.

While these features are more than enough to inspire the gifted Playstation owners into buying this quality good, it will also come bundled with the Eye of Judgement game. Even better is that Playstation 3 owners will be able to download Eyecreate software FREE from PSN. This software gives the user the capability to create videos, edit and share them. I’m sure some creative SDF users will send in a montage of the Xbox 360 RROD problem. Once again, Sony is showing its true colors.

Reader Writes In “I Just Pissed On My XBox 360″

September 14th, 2007 m0dus

We normally save our reader emails for our Monday Mail feature but this one was so good it deserved its own post.A disgruntled XBox 360 owner (and who isn’t?) writes in:

I just pissed on my XBox 360

A good ole drunken piss, right on the XBOX 360 and into its vent holes on the side.

Came out pretty clear, smelled only a little bit of the alcohol that went through my digestive track.

It was probably the best piss I’ve ever had. I’m not sure if my XBOX 360 is still functional, although I’m not too concerned. It felt good to put it in its place… My Playstation 3 would never be bathed in urine, perhaps it would be worthy of a fine bath of a $500 bottle of wine upon its retirement, but as of right now no such bath is needed.

With Gears of War and Bioshock completed, I feel as if my XBOX 360 has little use to it. *Yawn* another game involving a space marine or some soldier with a huge gun. Shadow of Rome was a PS2 exclusive, remember that. I’m open minded, therefore XBOX 360′s upcoming catalog of titles seems rather unintoxicating to me.

I’m not sure if my XBOX 360 will work tomorrow, nor do I really care. I’m sure I could rub it down with some alcohol and sell it to some **** down the street for no less than $300 (Premium Pack) and spend the earnings on a few good Blu Ray titles or PS3 game pre orders if misfortune is to dance with my XBOX 360.

If I wake up tomorrow and find that it does not work, perhaps I’ll open up the XBOX 360′s case and leave a bit of fecal matter on the inside to stink up the future owner’s living quarters. That’d be a good one. I’ll make sure to head to Rite Aid across the street and pick up some fiber supplements to make sure I have a good bowel movement worthy of placing inside of the 360′s case.

What can we say? We hope your XBox 360 finds a good home.

Can Gamespot’s upcoming Halo 3 review be trusted?

Gamespot’s Biased Halo 3 Review

I think this picture says it all… Why even bother with content? They might as well redirect their site to Halo3.com. The scary part is this is but one of many ad-covered sites that will release their reviews of Halo 3 in the next coming weeks. I urge everyone to keep their eye on SDF for our unbiased review of Halo 3 which will be posted near the Halo 3 launch.
