[PS3] Sony is catching up to the modders

[Spidey]

i could see having a modded ps3 because i never play it online except for the show. all my online is on the 360

I haven't touched my 360 in damn near a year but thats cause I am not a big online gamer and majority of the friends I would play online with own a PS3. If I was ever to get back into seriously playing things online, I'd be firing up the 360.

The console war gets tiring. All the consoles have their strengths and weakness. Everyone knows it yet the bickering continues. I don't understand why people are so concerned with what other people are using. It doesn't affect you. Who cares. Is it some sort of way of justifying one's purchase? I don't know.

And really, who the hell cares which console got modded first. Never thought I'd see that as the bases of an argument for or against a console.

EDIT: The console war stuff wasn't direct at you Maynard. Just in general.

no, i hear ya dude. Thats why i have all 3 because they all offer something that the other doesnt. they all have pros/cons and i never understood why people act like they own stock in the company.

Its kind of comical when u think about how these companies anal rape us over $$ for games, systems and DLC...yet people defend them like they are our best friend

i like to troll around the discussion when certain people are involved just so i can fuck with them. :shifty:

spidey please. maynard is a self admitted fanboy troll, of course it was directed at him.

 

[Maynard]

nice try

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

dont deny the truth homie

 

[Maynard]

yes, i admit it. I am a wii fanboy troll

 

[Boucher]

Thats why he got kicked off the podcast

 

[SethMode]

Liking one system more than another and voicing your opinion of why your taste goes that way does not make you a fanboy troll. Now, Maynard does try to ruffle the feathers of people like Twigg sometimes, but that also doesn't make someone a fanboy troll.

We have a few fanboys, but I'm not sure any of them are really trolls. Just tools.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

All I was trying to do was post a thread about Sony starting to ban people.

I'm really not even sure why I've got this bad rap, I don't recall trolling much recently aside from the Crysis thread which wasn't even intended to be a troll attempt against the 360 bla bla bla we went over that already. It used to be a lot worse but I have stopped because it isn't fun anymore.

I'm going to have a 360 at some point this year anyways with Forza pending release later this year

i dont think your a fanboy beer. my comment was to OOBL who i also dont think is a fanboy

hell if it wasnt for trolling fanboy console war discussions, what else would we be talking about

Yeah... if anything I'm an actual Wii fanboy... smh at myself for that

Why I'm not a fan of Wii:

PSN's just as guilty of reselling old titles for profit from the early 90's so I won't comment on that...

(Sony's about to release a few Sega Genesis titles for about $7-$10 a pop while Nintendo's still selling that Anniversary collection of Super Mario games that have been FREE in some instances if not cheaper elsewhere.)

I will say that the Wii has just as much propensity to release shovelware as it is to sell hardcore titles with the balance shifting more toward the former as far as the whole of the Wii library goes.

That and their more original titles (MadWorld, No More Heroes, House of the Dead: Overkill, Killer 7, etc.) don't get NEARLY the amount of hype that Nintendo's in-house studio's does (Smash Brothers, the 4-player SMB title, DK Returns).

Sony and the PS3 hacking community have been engaged in a tug-of-war in recent months, ever since root access to the PlayStation 3 was gained. In addition to opening the door for unauthorized indie development on the console, that breakthrough allowed users to play pirated games and cheat online. Sony responded by threatening to ban players found to have modded their system in this way, which the company says amounts to a breach in the terms of use agreement. It appears as though that punishment is being bypassed as well, with users claiming to have found a way to circumvent and reverse such bans.

According to Destructoid, hackers can now apparently unban themselves. Even more disturbing, those users can even ban other players, provided they have access to the victim's console ID. As one hacker said last month, "The complete console is compromised – there is no way back."

And if you don't know this by now, don't give anyone access to your PS3's console ID. Seriously.

lol @ unbanning yourself.

 

[Maynard]

if thats correct..wow

 

[JayDizzle]

I hope this isn't true...

:rage:

 

[JayDizzle]

So it's going to come down to either Sony just banning everyone on PSN outright or coming out with the PS4.

...which will get hacked to pieces within a week of release.

I might have to go back to the PS2.

 

[hackett]

It will come to Sony charging for online gaming.

The Genesis games coming out for OPSN are going to be $5, the same price MS charged for them on XBLA. I'm not sure where you are getting $7-10.

As for the SMB games being free, when/where was that?

I do agree about the original IP's on Wii though. It's a complete joke. The "hardcore" Wii owners constantly cry that their console doesn't have enough games for their fanbase but when they come out no one fucking buys them. So either the Wii's hardcore fanbase is as small as a pin head or those fucking dicks don't buy the shit they cry for.

It will come to Sony charging for online gaming.

Thanks a lot hackers, fucking douche bags.
