Average PSN user 28 year old male, well educated, and loaded

By Geoffrey Tim
September 2, 2009
in :  Gaming
24

Do you fit the profile? I don’t – I’m older, dumber than a bag of hammers and have roughly 18 ZAR to my name. My shortcomings aside, according to PSN’s director of operations Eric Lempel, the average  PSN user is a decent, upstanding chap. That seems to be far removed from the average Xbox Live user, who is a 15-year …

The internet rumour mill is in full swing, this time laced with more than just a little conspiracy; An anonymous N4G forum user by the name of Super_Secret – who claims to be an employee of Sony Japan – has divulged why you can’t have unified custom soundtracks, and by extension cross-game chat on your PS3. Normally nobody really pays …

PlayStation Home gets an Upgrade, and Maybe a Reason to Exist

By Geoffrey Tim
August 20, 2009
in :  Gaming
7

PlayStation Home is – if you’ll excuse my Swahili – F!@#ing pointless. Sony’s attempt at replicating Second Life ranks only slightly above Xbox Live Avatars on the list of “completely useless things added to consoles this generation that serve as a great way to fleece consumers of their money.” The biggest problem with Home, aside from the idiots who harass …

The Xbox Live Games on Demand Service – Which requires a credit card, automatically excluding us – allows you to download digital copies of classic retail games.

Why should you care? You really …

Did you hear that? That was the sound of 3 million Koreans simultaneously breaking out in tears. The reason for their melancholy, you see, is that Activision-Blizzard have confirmed that Starcraft II : Sons Wings of Liberty will not be getting a 2009 publication, instead being pegged with an indefinite “first half of 2010” release. Of course Blizzard have never …
