PS3 2.41 firmware out now {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2008 7:25AM It's funny when someone says EPIC FAIL and they really are just talking about themselves because they can't see the humor in the post....
Next generation Xbox 360 with built-in Blu-ray coming in 2008? {Engadget}
Apr 1st 2008 8:29AM I agree, this looks like an April Fools thing. The only thing that I can remember that would lend this any merit is the fact that MS stated long ago that they would consider integrated HD drives when the time was right. The war is over, the time is now right...
Crapgadget CES edition, round 17: the non-existent digital photo frame {Engadget}
Jan 12th 2008 6:13AM It a failed Jedi mind trick. You're really supposed to see a digital photo.
HD DVD group cancels CES press conference in wake of Warner announcement: daaamn {Engadget}
Jan 5th 2008 6:54AM I hope that HD DVD does continue on, I've got a player. If they don't continue on I guess we'll be getting a bunch of cheap HD movies!

Jan 1st 2008 9:03PM Fanboy? Not even close. I've always taken a neutral stance when it comes down to hardware. When I got the RROD on my launch day 360 in January of last year, I was just as hard on MS as any Sony fanboy had ever been. I've only had one failure unlike other people, but, it happened. I don't like Sony, but, that's just my opinion to which I am entitled and I don't let it cloud my judgement when I read or post about problems. Search Engadget for negagtive Playstation press articles. Think about all of the issues that you know of and search for them, then do the same for the Xbox.... All I'm saying is that the media should report it all from all camps and not be a propaganda machine.
Your friends have 40GB PS3s that work, that's great and I guess as you said about my XBL gaming, they must be lucky. I only personally know 3 people that bought 40GB PS3s and they've all been returned. Two traded and bought 360s and the other bought an 80GB PS3 because he already has a 360 and the 80 to this point is fine. I don't have a PS3 because there aren't enough exlusives to make me want to pay the premium. That plus that fact that I don't think that PSN is going to touch XBL this time around, Sony is too new to the concept.
You comment about me playing games that no one else plays..... you don't know me. I've been playing Halo and have yet to see the population drop below 200K. Typically I see over 300K while I'm on, far from no one.
If you think that it's obvious that I'm a fanboy, you may want to take a class in deductive reasoning, it's not your strong point. Read the posts on the site that I linked, I'm zs450 out there. I have my preference, but, I'm far from a fanboy. I honestly like a strong fight between consoles because that makes them work harder to put out better games.

That comment wasn't intended to be in reply to you, it was just a reply.

Jan 1st 2008 7:48PM I've been playing on Live since the beta. The only times that there have been issues like this have been linked to a surge in the number of players from what I've noticed. Considering when this issue started (I didn't start seeing it until Christmas Eve) I'm guessing it's another surge situation. I had issues on three of the past 7 days and the only day that was unplayable was Christmas.
I see all of negative MS press on Engadget but what about the PS3 40GB failure rate that was dismissed? This site seems to say otherwise with the number of posts reporting problems:

I did a search for the story on Engadget and nothing came up. If you're going to hold feet to the fire, roast them all evenly.
Fall Xbox 360 update touches on social networking {Engadget}

Harmonix looks beyond Rock Band {Joystiq}
Oct 24th 2007 11:10AM I have to go with Air Guitar Hero. You stand in front of your mocap device (360 cam, PS3 Eye, Wii sensor bar) and flail around like a loon in silence.... just like the competition. I don't know what's worse, the fact that this exists or the fact that I know about it: http://usairguitar.com/home.html
Anyway, I hope someone I know buys Rock Band becaue I'm not spending $170 on it but I do want to play!
