Wouldn't...

It have made more sense to use that excuse for stealing a Wii instead of a PS3?

Well...

If your family desperately needed you to go to a gamestop and steal a Wii to save their lives.. then.. er.. your family's screwed. I still can't find a Wii, with money to buy it!

------
I don't hate the PS3, I froze my butt off and coughed up $600 for one on the first day. I hate myself.

supprised

I'm shocked no one even considered some douche kidnapped his family and is holding them for a ps3...yeah its rediculous but im shocked no one put it out there. I just hope that isnt the case because the PS3 will get alot of bad press it doesnt deserve, hell im willing to throw out this might be a ploy by microsoft to bury the ps3 for good to make their console the top selling american console on the market in america...when ps3 and wii outsell it over in japan where the main gaming market is! Seriously, I have not seen my japanese friend say 1 good thing about the 360.

Yes, a double dose of the X chromosome DOES equal a double dose of Pwnage! Visit AlisonPrime for a few good laughs!

Hate?

Do you hate the 360?

Yeah!

Hardnews always rocks!

First comment ever!

Great hard news as always

Davoo

Batman

That new Batman-game looks very promising. I can't wait to hear more about it.

I wonder what the whole story is behind the PS3 theft! I've got to play Batman: Arkham Asylum!

The Retro Game Zone

What Home really is.

PS3 Home = SecondLife. I am gonna say it. Sony is just ripping on SecondLife.

TF2 Achievements

The update and achievevments are only coming to the PC not the 360.

lol i clicked reply instead on add new comment.

Yes, because Second Life

Yes, because Second Life didn't ripoff the whole avatar chatroom idea. They are both equal in suckitude anyway.

full hardnews on youtube?

The full 3min version of today's hardnews is up on youtube... so you know.

Yeah, they always put it up on Fridays.

It's always full on Youtube on Fridays.

TF2

Sweet! I love TF2! I cant wait for the update so I can... get mowed down by 6 miniguns everytime i leave the base...

Well, at leats you dont need all of them like the medic, so it shouldn`t be too bad.

HOLY SHIT.

DAMN that Batman game looks kickass :D

I hate hate haters

So much anger, hate and wrath on this episode.
Destin bashes the PS3, Craig Bashes Madden and somebody help up a clerk at gunpoint.

It was kinda weird but it was good

Is Craig growing a

Is Craig growing a moustache?

super stuttering craig!

its-ah me! stuttering craig

super stuttering craig!

its-ah me! stuttering craig

Hardnews.

Hm, I wonder why the man demanded a PS3... U must be really desperat if you're going into stores stealing consoles... I really doubt the money is arked anyways, he coul've stolen the money and then bought a PS3? Or a PS3, Xbox 360 AND a Wii. And maybe even a new shiny computer. And a car. And... The list goes on. Money = oppurtunities(and heavy mispelling, sorry).

Buy anything but Madden 09? Would it please you if I bought Madden 08?

Moon joke was fun, but cheap :P.

Batman is looking good. Hurray.

And gratz to all TF2'ers. I personally don't liek TF2, but I'm sure you're all thrilled to get new weapons and new stages. Go... New stuff... I guess :D.
Will the weapon be bowing gloves? That would be... O.o - Sweet!

TF2

lol what other offcial TF2 map does not have a building and mountain sections?

? where are other friend

where corey there was no foot long corey today=(

any way yah im not planning to buy madden 09 its crap or in brithish they would say that rubish

Good job

Man I love hard news since I've joined the site, I try to watch it daily :).

TF2 updates are probably nice, is it true that the 360 Version of TF2 is way less fun than PC? A friend of mine told me to better get Orange box on PC than 360 but dunno, I'm still thinking of just taking Orange box on 360... (Hows the online communities on both?)

Also is it me or is Playstation Home just sort of second life for PS3?

PC

You should totally get the PC version of orange box. PC TF2 has custom maps,new achivements,new weapons and ton of great maps made by valve. Console TF2 just has...5 maps and no new weapons or achivements at all. And the gameplay is really slow paced on the consoles.The community is AWESOME on PC.tired of little kids and jackasses? Move to the Pc community.

Madden 09

Madden hate? Madden bashing? I just lost a lot of respect for Craig now. A LOT of respect.

Why? madden sucks monkey

Why? madden sucks monkey nuts. It hasn't been good since the genesis.

Hey, people like him and me

Hey, people like him and me enjoy the game, so take it easy.

Maybe....

I've discovered more gramers on SA... NOOOO!!! They've breached the hull! For god's sake, Do a Barrel Roll!!

what's a faimily?

read the description

Uranus ha ha ha

Oh man, great hard news as always. The Uranus thing really made me laugh.Then again, it's also good to see that some decent Batman game still can be made since all those i saw in the Avgn movies: Batman Part 1-2 were awful... And finally, keep up with the good news Dustin, they're looking great.

yea... i love Madden

ive loved the game of Madden since I was a little kid so I naturally bought $90 collectors edition of madden 09 at the midnight launch. it doesnt suck. it kicks ass.... but whatever.

Creig grew a mustache.

Am I the only one that notices that? =P

madden

FOR THE LOSE!!!

Is the child molester

Is the child molester mustache making an appearance again?

Very full and informative episode

Thumbs up!

PC

You should get the orange box for the pc there is about 10 people playing at a time on x-box and a max of 16 players for 360 is way too small.

Team Fortress 2!!

Finally, this was the first time you guys had said anything about TF2. I was wondering if you guys just didn't care about the game or what, because it was one of my personal favorite games of last year, and still is one of my personal favorite games this year.

TF2 Update FTW!

Fuck yeah! I can't wait for more maps and new achivements. also, Craig, fuck yeah, anything but Madden! Today's news is kick ass! :D
Finally have a Wii and online!

the article...read it!... awesome... without brackets!

That new Batman Game

The atmosphere looks very impressive, and the Joker looks real funny to me, but thats just how he is.

Get a life...

I'm a PS3 fanboy and I have a life you douche.

And yet....

You went on to call someone a "douche" instead of living that life. Proving once again the FAIL inherent of fanboyism.

And yet....

Replying to a pointless statement Proving you don't have a life either. *Sniff* I smell a paradox.

Oh and Craig people do like Madden so don't alienate the people who respect you.

I know

You can't comment without falling into the trap, it's like a squirrel wrapped in a tootsie pop wrapped inside of an enigma.

Then again...I got a BOWL! GOOD FOR ME!!!

meh

tf was on the pc to begin with why the fuck put it on console. yah, let's put quake:tf on console next! sounds great.

Not everyone plays pc games

Why is it so bad that games go multiplatform. More people get to play and enjoy it. This is the kind of fanboyism that hurts the game industry...

Check out my blog ! http://screwattack.com/blog/20013

He stole a PS3 but not games

He stole a PS3 but not games or other junk? What's he going to play on it?

Also, what are you talking about? Leaked Batman pictures? Those pictures were on the newest GameInformer that I just got yesterday, together with exclusive article.

~My two cents.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DESTIN.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DESTIN. IM FUCKING SICK OF YOU CUNTS DESTIN AND THAT FAT ASS JOSE TACKING TH PISS OUT OF PS3 ALL THE TIME. JOSE DOSENT EVEN LIKE VEDIO GAMES, ALL HE PLAYS IS SHITTY ONLINE FPS,S ALL DAY. THE PS3 MAY HAVE GOT OFF TO A SLOW STAT BUT ITS ON THE MEND NOW.JUST BECAUSE YOU GUYS AT SCREWATTACK HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF 10 YEAR OLDS AND CAN NEVER BE BOTHERD TO PLAY SOME GOOD GAMES.LIKE WHEN MGS4 CAME OUT YOU ALL LIKE "OHHHHH CUT SCENES,I CANT SIT THROUGH CUT SCENES,LETS GO PLAY HALO".ON SIDESCROLLERS THE OTHER DAY DESTIN SED HE WAS PLAYING UNCHARTED (WICH IS AN AWSOME GAME)JUST BECAUSE ITS ON THE PS3 JOSE STARTS MONING LIKE A COCK.OH AND BY THE WAY DESTIN I AM A PS3 FANBOY I HAVE MUCH MORE OF A LFE THAN YOU WILL EVER HOPE TO HAVE.

Fail troll is fail.

Fail troll is fail.

Oh yeah, you TOTALLY have a life

Way to prove him wrong, champ.

Do you work at a gaming

Do you work at a gaming website where you can make one bad joke about the PS3 that will make the irrational fanboys come out in droves to type comments in all caps?

Well I do and guess what it's a pretty kick ass life.

pwned

You're living the dream man.

I've been contemplating the PS3 for awhile, but all the console versions, bugs, and lack of titles I'd want to play turns me off.

I have to want 10 games for a system, for me to WANT to buy it. Every game I want on PS3 is also on the 360, and other than Metal Gear and Ratchet...I haven't seen much to be excited about.

wow...

hmm. lemme just say, FANBOY LIKEY TYPE IN CAPS WITH LOTS OF SPELLING ERRORS AND LOTS OF SWEARING. CAPS R TEH FUN!! See how stupid that looks? Do ya?

Wow!

Ok, I know this is over a day old. I will tell you this, I am a Sony and Nintendo Fanboy too, and I find the jokes funny. This site has jokes every place and you cannot take everything so serious at all on here. If they make fun and you get all pissy about it, ignore it.

-He who controls the past, conquers the future. He who contols the future, conquered the past. -Kane, Command and Conquer.

I actually really like my

I actually really like my PS3 now with all the updates they've done and now that they're getting some new exclusives it's a pretty good system. I would wait until after Tokyo Game Show, Pax, and Leipzig just incase a price drop is announced but you can get a 40gb for a pretty decent price.

Free to flame on the main

Free to flame on the main site? Well...no. Guess what happens now? I'll give you a hint: two more and you're outta here for good.

TF2

There will be new enviroments for the new gameplaymap. It may be like in the bakground of this image http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/natascha.htm

All im asking is that you

All im asking is that you stop talking the piss out of the ps3.you guys at screwattack ar nothing but(as nametags puts it)"gramers"The ps3 is a good system and yeah it is quite expensive but if you were a hardcore gamer you wouldent mind the cost of greatness.and by the way, i think its ironic that you have cory being part of screwattack when she dousent even know a thing about games.Its imbarasing when you ask her about games on sidescroller, she dosent know whats shes saying. "errrr.... kotor errrr.. city of heros".

Do you even know what a Gramer is?

Seriously, the only member of the team that's close to a gramer is Jose, and I'd hardly class him as one.

And now, according to you, Corey's not a gamer because... She's not the most comfortable infront of a mic? That's really bad logic, man. I don't know her, but she seems to know what she's talking about. As opposed to you.

As far as the PS3 jokes go, some of them are warranted & it's not like Destin & Craig haven't made fun of the other consoles on the market. If you can't accept them making fun of the PS3 but want the 360, Wii & PC jokes to carry on, maybe this isn't the site for you.
Either all the consoles are okay to be made fun of, or none of them are.

Thanks!

You just saved me a really long reply! I was going to type a longer version of what you said, but subtlty "sp?" is better when talking to a PS3 fanboy.

And they havent cracked on any other system before?

So you're getting pissy just because they crack on your favorite console or whatever the hell it is. They made fun of the Wii and 360 too. A few episodes ago, when Destin was talking about Madworld, he made fun of the Wii. There was also ONE ENTIRE WEEK or so he made fun of the 360. Can you not just take the joke and laugh. Or are you too much in love with your system not too? I like the 360 and Wii and when they make a joke about it, I actually laugh.

BTW, You don't know what a gramer is do you? They defined it before in like episode 2. A PERSON THAT PLAYS ONLY HALO AND MADDEN only. Sure they play halo, but I know they hate Madden.

Corey knows nothing about games?

You sir are one ignorant little fanboy.She has talked about Blizzard games, Street Fighter 2, Mass effect, GTA games and much much more. She made her point on the dreamcast and on all nextgen consoles many times and you come along saying she knows nothing...what a fool. Before typing a cheap and lame comment try to actually listen properly to Sidescrollers next time. Oh!And by the way, you should watch that Nametags episode again because you clearly have no sense of what a "Grammer" his.

if that guy needed one

if he needed one so bad he could pay for it i mean i'd pay anything to help my family seriously.

But...

What if you poor or something that prevented you from buying it? I know I would still go and buy it since I have the money, but if he had to save his family, had no money and no time to get some, robbery was the only way to go.

That TF2 thing was wierd

They never evn mentioned tf2 once in anything on screwattack, and now they have an indepth thing about it here. I'd much rather have them talking about something they know, so then it doesn't sound forced.

LOL @ Madden '09

THIS is why an NFL gaming license monopoly is not a good thing. It's like everything about the series is regressing except for the graphics. Good call, Craig.

I don't have anything else to really say except this: WHERE'S THE FUCKIN' WII LOVE, BRUCIE-BOY?!

A gramer is someone who

A gramer is someone who likes to think thay know about the gaming market but knows fuck all about it.(corey) and when thay talk about games they sound stupid when heard by experienced gamers.By the way ,in not saying i only love the playstation 3 because i have and i love all the systems but the ps is th best.i meane look at e3.you have nintendo completley abandaning there long time fans and microsoft copying nintendo.then look at sony,great games missive and impressive show and not to mention GOD OF WAR 3 and mag.its all in the facts
