Sony 'Looking Into' PS3 Firmware 3.00 Issues
- Thread starter Earnest Cavalli
- Start date
Well, I don't have friends on the playstation, so that part doesn't bug me, but I also haven't had any hardware issues since the update. I think it's exactly as they said, isolated.
It's a standardized test used for college applications. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT] Of course, I can still mess stuff up (I'm only human) but I've looked at it several times, and I cannot interpret the way you did. Besides:cleverlymadeup said:

ok first off there are TONS of linux games, here's a nice list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gamesWhiteTiger225 said:
when it creates a save file it writes the save file to ~/. or something similar, meaning it writes it to your own personal directory that only YOU have write access to. so a virus at that point can spread to your directory, it can't be written to any other directory because it's running under your user name not not with elevated privileges, if it tries to write to the actual binary of the game it fails cause of permission denied
this is what happens with any binary file you try to write to in any *nix box. a user can't write to anything beyond his own directory
also i know there's nothing that is impregnable, however the *nix family has a great track record for both security and fixing security holes. OpenBSD alone is considered the most secure out of the box os in the world. when Redhat went to do the government testing for linux, they ended up getting a ranking above windows, without any hardening, after hardening they got several levels above that
And if hackers hack for money, 90% vs 4%....
And 90% of the 4% of linux users, know what they are doing, where as 99% of the 90% of windows users don't know jack.
From that wiki list, theres roughly 100 games that work directly on linux with out having to use emulation software.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/list_x.html
That list of games for the PC (Which all work on windows XP)
Is nearly equal in size as the list of games for linux.
And thats just games that start with X.
If Linux wants to over-come windows, they need to market. They need developers who are going to create commercial products that Only work on Linux. Much like first-party 360/ps3 games only work on 360/ps3. Those drive sales, sales = market share.
Why is windows so popular and has such a huge market share even though its nearly $300 and linux is free?
Cause developers develop on it. Its a known platform, people know windows. Linux maybe easy for people who know linux, but its hard for people who only know windows. But, Linux also isn't a very 'casual' user OS. It requires more knowledge of the OS than windows does. The fact that a novice in Windows can totally fuck up a pc in less then 5 minutes shows just how 'open' it really is. Users do not like being slowed down/hampered by 300 commands to do something that takes one.
And thats exactly what vista and linux have in common. It maybe different terminology, and vista maybe less secure then linux because of the way it works, doesn't make the point any less invalid. Users don't like having to do something in 30 clicks when it can take 1. I believe theres an OS called Winux. Or something, its basically linux but the user works from the root directory instead of under it. (Aka has direct admin access) giving the user just as many vulnerability issues as windows.
Oh, and internet explorer isn't useless without active-x. Theres plenty of websites you can visit that don't use it.

If I recall correctly, that was only out of 500 consoles. Even if you doubt the GameInformer statistics, 5000 is still bigger than 500. I admitted that there were doubts to GI's survey, but I'd rather see a much more controlled finding on a bigger scale. 500 consoles is nothing, if they can get, I dunno, 10,000 then we can talk.WhiteTiger225 said:
A free "add in" that works perfectly fine, and easily comparable to LIVE if I do say so personally. Besides, I'm not talking nor did I ever talk about LIVE vs. PSN, I was talking about the entire saying as a whole. You completely ignore what I'm saying when I say "This makes the PS3 the 'best' console by default" which you personally don't think so apparantly.
Okay, yeesh, you are acting unnecessarily pompous and antagonizing. I never said that "you get what you pay for" was completely wrong or that there were no exceptions to that rule. But as I've said a bunch of times before, saying "you get what you pay for" automatically makes the PS3 the "best" console out there, and it's *shocker* not. Electric cars? Bah, pretty much a scam, they barely give you any real mileage advantage, and yet you pay probably double for them. Blu-Ray players? Pshaw, people complain about how expensive they are and how there's "apparently" no difference between it and regular DVDs or that they don't give enough advantages. What about, I dunno, one of those "professional" keyboards? I hardly use my PC for gaming, so the increased cost of a "pro" keyboard is negligible compared to my standard one.
Different situations bring out different prices. If I will hardly get any use out of it, the price isn't worth it. If it is, then voila, it is worth it. Doesn't make "you get what you pay for" any less true or false, just that there's a huge hole when people claim that argument with consoles and just about any electronic.
I am hardly taking this debate as seriously as you think I am. There is no need to go around, acting like you're the "winnar!", and tossing some insults when I've hardly insulted you back. I could care less about who is more superior or whatever, so just drop the pompous attitude and if you want to continue this debate, PM me and I'll gladly continue it.

Xbox 360: for 1-3 years (depending on warranty, we got a free 3 year warranty) "MY XBOX DIED" *2 weeks later* HERE FREE XBOX
Playstation 3: (unless you paid for a warranty "MY PS3 DIED!" 5 minutes later "fuck you"

I've not had any crashing or controller issues, but I've been having major lag issues when accessing USB drives, or disc based content, or I press triangle in ANY menu. Then again, playing Skate in Super SlowMo was mildly entertaining... Just not something I want to do regularly.
I love my PS3 best console I ever bought. Firmware 3.0 sucks though, it was an epic fail. Should have at least given me the option to keep my system on pre-patch aesthetics.
