Thanks for telling me these games are randomly expensive as hell. Gonna go trade in at the local game store for like, 10x the cost I paid for em. Nice.

because I truly don't understand the ones who say "PS3 service is bound to shut down" etc. don't you think that we shouldn't let that happen? they try to justify this by saying that it's an old console and I agree that it is old. and?

considering that so many people still play on this console, the thought of it getting shut down makes my blood boil. you gotta understand that these are multibillion companies. in human terms they basically have unlimited money. money that we give them by buying their products. so there's no justifiable reason to shut down everything. we already let them shut down GTA Online, Killzone and other games without any consequences.

why are they doing this? for security reasons? well, just improve your security then. don't you see that people are still playing? I'm sure they'll not go bankrupt for maintaining a server for 1000$ a month. it's all pretty simple - they just don't care about us. and that's what the gaming world has come to. we ourselves let them treat us like slaves. you come, you pay money, you spend your time and then everything just gets taken away from you under some stupid reason. do you really think that's normal? honestly, I think that ending the service of something that is online and people have spent their money for/on should be illegal unless you're closing your whole company.

let them know about your presence, don't just blindly spend all your money and precious time. they MUST hear and respect us because we are the ones feeding them in the first place. we are the reason they became successful and exist. don't let the things we love get taken from us just because some billionaires are not making a fortune from it.

MESSAGE THE MODS AND r/redditrequest NOW ABOUT THE CONTROLLER THING. TAKE BACK OUR SUB FROM THOSE DAMN DIRTY FUCKING NASTY TROLLS.

Thanks.

I use PSN about once every four months, if that, and the ONE fucking time I have a free afternoon where want to update games and download some free DLC, it's down for maintenance until 5fuckingAM?.

Seriously, it's like they're mind readers and deliberately fucking trolling me.

Bought Assassins Creed today and was looking forward to playing it. Came home, redeemed pre order dlc, redeemed CE dlc, put in the game, downloaded a day one patch, installed the game, set up network pass and THEN and only then could I play it. Same thing happened for Uncharted and for Arkham City.

I just want games to go back to the way they were: I give money, I get the game and access to everything that's on the disc.

I know I will probably be down voted to hell for this because my opinion isn't a popular one. People seem to think that they have the right to do anything they want with their PS3 console since they bought it. That is correct to an extent, when you purchase it you are buying the hardware of the PS3, however you are also signing the user agreement that states that you DO NOT own the software on the console. Hacking the software to a point where it could drastically hurt the sales for for the company who is publishing the console is a threat to the company (obviously). Going against the agreement is punishable by law. Keep in mind that Sony makes most of its money from the games that are sold, not the PS3 consoles (as far as their game divisions go).

Thinking that you own the rights to the code on the PS3 is similar to saying that you own the rights to a movie when you buy a DVD.

I inputted the US release dates for the other consoles in excel:

• September 9, 1995

• October 26, 2000

• November 17, 2006

And I created a chart (scatter), right clicked on the data points, and created a trendline (polynomial) This allowed me to create an equation that matches the release dates of all previous consoles, which I then used as a basis for predicting the PS4 release date. The equation was:

169.5x² + 1365.5x + 33416

where x is the Playstation x (1/2/3/4)

When you plug in the number 4 for x, the result is 41590, which when formatted as a date in Excel, comes out to:

November 12, 2013.

What do you think?

By the way, this would also predict PS5 on October 12, 2021

They were advertising God of War volume 2 and I've been after it for awhile so I snatched it up.

Got home from work to discover they'd sent me the essentials version......
