    I was over at a friends house playing his ps3 which he had updated and the problems were rather sporadic. It wasn't totally bricked but it was bloody annoying, we had a game of chess while we waited for the xmb to load.

    Oh dear... Welp, glad I didn't use my PS3 today and thus was spared from downloading this, sounds like I might not have had a problem, but who knows. Anyway, this sucks majorly, and here's hoping Sony doesn't only fix the patch, but that they can restore the damage done. Otherwise, this is yet another blemish on their part regarding their infrastructure that won't at all inspire confidence in those on the fence of getting a PS4 or not. SPECIALLY if you're going to start charging for online play, Sony better get their shit together and ensure botch-ups like this won't happen then, or whatever advantage the E3 conference gave them is going to be really hindered by this. You were doing so well Sony... Don't fuck it up on yourself...

    Interesting idea. Conventional wisdom would tell you to release something a little more mainstream. But giving away something niche like this can open the doors those types of games and increase sales later on down the line with a new IP or genre even.

    Not bad. Steel Diver, one of the many ignored new IP's, was neat but was otherwise mediocre and couldve been better, whatever their planning to do that will "open things up with that game" count me interested.

    My brother doesnt know what the heck to do because he already got to Master Prestige, he has no other reason to play the game other than because his cousins and friends want him to.

    I love all the morons in previous comments complaining about the kinect and their paranoia with it watching them. and how they cant seem to figure out how to fix that. tell me this, do you people have trouble working a digital camera? i mean yeah you can go into the settings and change things but there is a much simplier way. just turn the thing around so it faces the base of your tv or wall and not at you. thats what i do with the current kinect. the voice commands still work just fine. as for the 24 hour check, its really not that big of a deal. i play diablo 3 and even if i just want to play single player i have to be online. not really too bothered about it. i have solid broadband service and it has rarely ever gone out. what i think people dont understand is that the check is needed because all disc based games have to be installed and then can be played without the disc after that. they are stored in the cloud and can be played on an X1 you log into. sony is trying to make it all about the disc while MS is moving toward a totally digital system. i see several benefits of moving to a fully digital system. having instant access to your entire library from anywhere, not worrying about discs, etc. some people bring up the agruement though about what if they shut down servers for your game in the future. i know of plenty of games now whose servers have been shut down, yes i know it is just the mp servers, but does anyone really play those games anyway? do you play crappy games from ten years ago on your current gen system? i bet you dont. all in all it comes down to change and people are naturally afraid of change, but if things didnt change we would still be playing games off of cartridges. the Xbox One i think has a lot of potential and im glad MS is actually daring enough to try new things instead of putting a more powerful rehash of their current gen system out. i think over time the public will understand and accept what MS is doing.

    I'm not necessarily against the Xbone except for its 24 hour check up since im pretty much used to how the steam platform works. My best guess is that unless MS wants another year of poor sales (resulting from Win 8 and MS Surface) They are going to have to remove some features in order to please the masses.

    Also, that comment with Sakurai "I don't really think this time we're in a situation where we're trying to accommodate that many new players." Allot of people liked it as Sakurai himself admitted Brawl was in a position to bring casual players in, which was some big deal with the "Hardcore" players who liked the speed,heavyness and exploits of Melee. I frankly i dont care, i just love to SMASH

    This E3 was awesome and full of great(and bad) quotes, i love how iwata did just like Last E3's pre-conference direct, by telling us which floor of the Nintendo building he's filming is XD Everyone had a neat conference full of good things. As bad of a position Microsoft is in right now, that doesnt change the fact that their conference delivered what they promised with games and no TV. Even EA, as much hate circled around them, had a great time. Garden Warfare(10/10/10/10/10), "PEGGLE 2", "Bounce-tek", That Rapper, lebron talking to himself, DAMN.

    Maybe its because people keep bothering him with questions? I mean for the last week or so, people have been shoving the question of when he's retire up his ass when he keeps responding that he has no plans yet.

    Right! I mean Miyamoto has every right to take a step back and enjoy the rest of his life without answering complaints. He created momentum for ages - I really think people should pay more respect to him, he influenced their childhood to a greater extent. ...well and maybe he needs to answer all that questions as Iwata is chillaxing in his large conference room on the seventh floor of the Nintendo headquarters in Kyoto.

    Really good. I think I may have been a bit unconventional though and instead I made my character a set of seven different suits, one to wear for each week day. Oh and also an Adam Jenson trenchcoat :) Gotta love them Pro Designs.
