PS3 Video DRM also draconian?

By Gavin Mannion
September 22, 2008
in :  Gaming
10

A lot has been said about the draconian DRM embedded in Spore at the moment but EA games are far from being the only company to try to thwart piracy. It seems that the movies you download from the PSN have a similar feature. The rentals are able to be kept for 24 hours which I think is perfectly fair …

I am not excited about these avatars, to me it just looks like a “me too” move from Microsoft and I would have preferred them to use their time and money on something more exciting. But they are coming and there is nothing I can do to stop that so let’s take a look at what we will be getting. …

Question of the Week: Pure Pwnage

By Nick De Bruyne
September 22, 2008

Say goodbye to those Monday blues because it's time to play "Question of the Week" once again! This weeks question involves "pwnage" of the highest caliber and to balance things out for our PS3 readers a little, w e have a copy of TNA iMPACT!... This week I am giving all our readers the opportunity to blow their own horns like never before. Although we spend a good amount of our time sucking at certain videogames, we have all had that moment that made us feel invincible. The kind of story that you would tell around a campfire if any of us actually ever went outside. This Weeks Question is: What was your greatest moment of gaming pwnage? I am talking about that moment when you did something so heroic, so spectacular or something that was just so damn skilled that it embedded itself in your head as the defining moment in your history of gaming pwnage. Stories like this usually stem from multiplayer gaming, but if you have something from a single player experience then share it as well. I will never forget one of the matches that we played in the AGASA Gears of War tournament last year, where one of our teammates, known to Xbox Live as "Joburger", tossed a grenade into the middle of the map a mere 10 odd seconds into the fourth round of a first-to-five match-up and landed up taking out the entire opposing team (as well as two of our own...)... The round was over so quickly that no one was entirely sure what had just happened, except for him. I didn't need to see him to know that he was smiling from ear to ear as I could practically feel his grin straight through my headset and for months after that his Xbox Live motto was "KABOOM".... So tell us, what happened when you had your moment? ...The winner of last week's QOTW was undoubtedly: NBT and his family of football hooligans. Congratulations on winning the prize (which we were lucky to get at the last minute) of a copy of DMC4 for the Xbox 360. Please e-mail your details to support@lazygamer.co.za this week as I will be away when this article goes live.

Did you know the PlayStation 3 has only just been released in Malaysia? and we complain about us being treated badly… Oh and it looks like Nintendo thought that Sony needed some help with the launch and very kindly leant them the soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda.

The Blu-Ray player in the PS3 has always been one of it’s most important features and the fact that it has been the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market has allowed it to grab quite a few sales even from non-gamers. However that is now changing with the latest round of Amazon price cuts putting some stand alone players at …
