What happens when you put Windows Vista on a Playstation 3? Just an assload of down time, that’s what. This video shows some schmuck successfully running the OS under emulation and requiring nearly 25 minutes to fully boot up.  It even takes twelve minutes to load up Notepad, which is an amazing feat considering how demanding the application is. This would be the equivalent of watching paint dry in Sony Playstation’s Home community.  It’s even worse than Linux for the... Continue reading

The main reason you bought a Playstation 3 was probably due to Killzone 2 or Playstation Home, Sony’s new online service that’s supposed to be something like Xbox Live meets Second Life. You and your friends can meet up with your avatars, talk, chat, shoot the shit and so on. Oh, and more importantly, you can play games together too. As of today, Sony is accepting applications for the closed beta test of the Home service. Right now it only... Continue reading

Sony announced Tuesday that it will cut the price of the 80GB version of the PlayStation 3 from $500 to $400 for this fall in an effort to compete with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and to attract “millions of PlayStation 2 users who are on the cusp of upgrading,” Tretton said. However, if you’re one of those said PlayStation 2 users and all you do is play classic game compilations or 2D fighting games, then making the upgrade now holds little... Continue reading

In an effort to stem losses from console sales (because the PS3 is a steal), Sony announced Friday that it is in desperate need of cash. Well, that wasn’t verbatim but it was something along the lines of an offer for advertising space in their upcoming games. “Various game titles are played by fans who like certain things, which can offer opportunities for targeted ads,” said a Sony spokesman. Wait, doesn’t everyone like certain things? Prepare yourself for a mindfuck... Continue reading

I love my Macs and I’m sure you feel the same if you own one. In fact, I’m writing this post on my Macbook right now! However, Apple has really fucked up the AC adaptor that comes with the laptops it manufactures. I’m not talking about Magsafe, ’cause that shit is great. I’m referring to the fact that if you want a cord longer than Scott Baio’s dick, you have to add on a bulky attachment. The cord is so... Continue reading

The link for this auction now reads as an invalid link, but GOD DAMN! The auction was for over 1,500 games! That’s including greatest hits and longbox duplicates, as well as multi-region hardware, rare special editions, promotional materials, and dev kits. There is just no competition for a bigger, better Playstation collection. Shockingly, the above photo was only a fraction of what was available. The going rate? A chipper $30,000. Bring this auction back! — Andrew Dobrow Link

Gamer-mod scientist Ben Hack is at it again, this time with a mod that slightly pains us. You might remember his mod in which he connected a PS2 controller into a PSP. In this venture, he strays slightly from the Sony gaming realm and takes the innards of a PS3 Sixaxis controller, and transplants it into the casing of a Xbox wireless controller. It feels very odd seeing the Playstation controls and logo on a Xbox console controller. It actually... Continue reading

We know from expereince with the PS2 that sustained use of the Playstation analog sticks causes them to get gnarled groves in them from all the vicious navigation. If you are sick and tired of having to play with those crude controller sticks, check out these sets of 10 PS3 analog stick covers. Not only do they look really cool, but they are sure to be easier on the fingers and definitly easier on the controller. They come in a... Continue reading
