PS3s Online Services to Compete With XBox 360
wh0pper writes "Dubbed WA!PS3 Online, Sony plans to combat the Xbox 360's download service with their own service for the Playstation 3. Though this is only going to happen in Asian markets at first, this adds even more fuel to the fiery debate over whether the Playstation 3 will have a hard drive included with the system. The Playstation 3 will be able to download games to the console for gamers to play and Sony says it will be better than the Xbox 360's features."
WA!-T-F is with the name?
Anyone for an eight way match of Rootkit Wars on the PS3? Let me know and I will let my DRM PS3 get permission from your DRM PS3, only after Sony gives us both permission to play in the first place. Game on!
And in other news, Linux is better than MS, the DS is better than the PSP, and straights are better than gays.
Sony: "Nuh uh! Your system is poop! Mine's gonna be awesomerer than your's! My system is gonna have, uh.. um..A ROUTER.. and uh, dual shock 3.. maybe I can squeeze in a harddrive.. nah, no harddrive. well, maybe.. And it's gonna play the Blu Rays! And, and, and it's gonna go online too! Only faster than your system! With prettier colors! And more funner games than what you've got! And I'm gonna call PS Web! It's gonna rock. So, nya!"
Microsoft: "Wow, that sounds pretty cool." Here's mine *shows an Xbox360 Premium*
Sony: "DOODY HEAD!!!"
somethin like that
meanwhile, Nintendo is playing quietly in the sandbox by itself making controllers in the sand and revolutionizing the way the other kids are playing on the playground they've been using for years.
Actually, if like me you pronounce it "Wops online" it sounds like an Internet-enabled reunion of my Italian-American family.

Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Great idea, one 50 dollar game per every 125 dollar proprietary memory card. Oh the savings.
The human race is artificial intelligence created using object orientated programming.
Takeshi, 17, a senior year student at Pokimoko district Public High School described the scene like this:
'My friend Tetsuo and I were sitting in Kabayishi road Starbucks discussing which Next Generation console will be the best, when we saw some strange flashes outside and saw some businessmen in suits running out of a stretch limousine that had smoke coming out of it.'
Asked about how he knows they were Sony employees, Takeshi had this to say: 'There was a deep voice from the clouds that was booming "And this one is for the Emotion Engine. And this one is for 'Cinematic Gaming'. And this one is for the Cell chip hype. This one is for the Rootkit. This one is for the Killzone trailer. This one is for...". It was quite freaky actually.'
