Hard News 12/10/08


Today Playstation Home gets a release date, EA hits some financial trouble, and we've got a video for Hump Day.


good job MS

Good job Microsoft, first the Mii's and now the iPhone, great way to make money doing ripoffs

Don't forget Singstar, Buzz and Eyetoy.

It seems with every set of averts on T.V. Here, there's either one of those stupid 360 adverts with people with half heads or an advert for a new peripheral for the 360, which is a rip-off of something else.

i hate apple, ill never own a apple product ever

That is because you suck. I

That is because you suck.

I am as far beyond mutants, as mutants are beyond you!

Great Hard News as always

Great Hard News as always

Again Microsoft?

Oh well. Maybe the price of the iPhone will drop a little (though obviously not right now) from the competition.

It costs $199 with a plan.

It costs $199 with a plan. How much cheaper do you want the most powerful phone in today's market to go?

woo zunephone! awesome....

woo zunephone! awesome....

Dive fail.

Glad to see PS Home coming. Not a Sony fan, but still. I'd like to see something awesome from them. (Other than some of the games.)

Edit:
Cripes, when I was typing this I was 2nd. =)

LOL

Nice hump day vid. lol better than real life! XD

Was that an extra zoom at

Was that an extra zoom at the end? Good episode. My sister's boyfriend has a Zune...it's an ugly creature but he swears it's good. I don't know...

Dude, watching that dude

Dude, watching that dude fall made me cringe.

Another fine episode, sir Destin.

If you consider that a

If you consider that a rip-off, you'd be very surprised what else in the world is 'just a rip-off'.

Yay, Home...I guess.

I think this is well over a year after they originally planned to release it. Oh well, better late then never.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm pretty much expecting Second Life without the porn. Maybe my low expectations will be blown away, we'll see. Too bad it's too late for an Out of the Box episode, that would have been interesting.

Again MS?

Come on...are you shitting me? That thing better not sell well just to spite them for stealing that idea...also, any fools who trade in thie Itunes for something MS cause it may be Xbox related, I say, FU! Also, EA, want to make money? I say, drop the Madden franchise and make more unique games, it's all in this book "Get Rich or get out of my Way: Investing Dogbert Style" by Dogbert. :P
Finally have a Wii and online!

Still looking for a kickass Signature!

LOL

Drop Madden? LOL that's rich... because that's what it makes EA. They'd be foolish to drop it. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean they should stop making them.

Opps

I should have added a sarcastic note on that. XD

Good Hard News as always.

Good Hard News as always. That hump day video was so funny.

And nice haircut Jose.

Simpsons did it!

what would the world be if we didn't build off one anothers ideas? There's plenty of room in the world for competition. I'm sure you feel the same Destin and I know it was all for show, just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Great Hard News as always.

*edit* was that a Portal reference when you talked of home being out of beta and releasing on time... ah... Portal

YAY Zune PHONE (zPhone?)

Or should i say Zune PWN! I've been waiting for that announcement for a long time to justify the purchase of my Zune. zune kicks ipods pasty white ass. Two words: ZUNE PASS!

Microsoft Touch Phone

Hell, I'd buy it if I could choose my network provider. Suck it AT&T!

iphones are for pansies.

Blackberry FTW!

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

microsoft

Is it really ripping off...

When Microsoft owns a part of Apple?

That was part of their financial partnership thing Microsoft did with Apple several years ago.

And again, if you are accusing people of ripping off Apple then you best start putting all those "IPhone" like phones other companies are putting out on that list too.

(the guy i sit next to at work gets like every new type of phone every time they come out so yeah, I seen so far the last 2 months 8 Iphone like phones.)

This

"And again, if you are accusing people of ripping off Apple then you best start putting all those "IPhone" like phones other companies are putting out on that list too."

Yeah really, every carrier has their own version of an "iphone" ; and yet Microsoft SUPPOSEDLY (it's not official) comes out with one and people cry "RIPOFF".

People jump on every

People jump on every opportunity to bash Microsoft.

You the man Destin

Now that I have my Hard News for the day I can go back to playing games. Thanks SA! Plus if you have decided to ditch youtube, good, and thanks again.

Was that Hose's basement?

Was that Hose's basement?

I guess EA learned their lesson.

People don't want original games anymore. They want rehashes of Halo.

No surprise

It's not surprise that Microsoft is ripping off iPhone's design, considering they've been ripping off Apple since they were designing Windows. Really though, has Microsoft been original in anything? Mii's and avatars, the Zune and the iPod, hell Xbox 360 didn't even have HDMI in the beginning soley because Playstation 3 was supposedly not going to have it, that changed of course, now you got Xbox's with HDMI.

Thoughts!

Destin never seemed like an iPhone man to me.

Not for nothing, but Dead Space as an IP is Alien with a lightsaber, and making a bad anime prequel probably didn't help.

What is it about stupid people hurting themselves that is so great?

As always, great Hard News.

Ore wa Seigi. Give that life back to God.

Check out my DevArt and Youtube:

I don't think the "IP" is Dead Space......

Hee hee. I like the way your anime review put it: Resident Evil in space. Then I add to that Resident Evil in space with the story of Alien and a Lightsaber. Um......yeah. Pass, thanks.

Yet I don't think Dead Space is the IP they were talking about. I think it's Mirrors Edge. Bold, Original, Innovative, Beautiful, and Fun. You should try it out Red, after having to hear how "meh" and "throwaway" the story is I would really like to hear your opinion! My opinion is simple (a main reason I don't do reviews.) I think the story really makes me care about the character even if I don't always agree with her (seriously, she needs to lose or at least lighten up on the angst. This is not Mirrors Edgy.) However, when she's not channeling Eddie Vedder, I respect her and I truly care about what happens to her and that's a story's job. Oh. And then once I care, to mess with her life constantly. In that, I think the story of Mirrors Edge excells.

"We can do far more than we think so long as we're willing to think far more than we do."

hey wait???

hey wait was mac. before windows? if so bill sure did made products easier to use., but they stole ideas to make mills$$$

Big money

I didn't know Hard News paid so well. Destin busts out the iPhone like nobodies business.

Jose uses Home

LOL that made me laugh. "Ooh, it's a girl! Oh no, it's a guy! Ewww!" XD

Great

hilarious adn informative news as ever... but the hump day video is kinda old =(

Good.

--Haze-man--
This was a good hard news. haha. Microsoft imitating Apple... what next?

OUCH! Nothing like a Icy Faceplant...

Frankly I'm not surprised MS is trying to develop an iPhone killer...

....now if they were smart, they make it so you could download Xbox Live Arcade games onto it and such...

re: zune games

I have liked what they have done for zune games so far. There is definitely potential to do more XBA games on it.

A portal reference?

Was that a portal reference when Destin said that Home is out of beta and will be released on time?

New Xbox Live Experience + Zune phone...

Now you can have your Xbox live avatar with you everywhere! Unbelieveable! Something like this has never been offered before...wait...haha nevermind just kidding, dumb Microsoft bastards...I wonder if the Zune phone will get the RRoD too...that would suck it you're trying to close a business deal or hot date or somethin...damn.

Are you ready to be disciplined?

zune

i think that have been doing a lot of good with their newer zunes and I now like the zune hardware better then the ipod and most other mp3 players. The only thing that the ipod has over the zune is you can use in in linux.

I am interested to see how they would do a zune-phone/zune-touch.

Yeah a sequel to mirrors edge

Yeah a sequel to the swedish developed game mirrors edge cant wait. And Grin also from sweden has/is doing the new bionic commando games it makes me proud to be a swedish guy

If I remember correctly Bill

If I remember correctly Bill Gate actually has shares in Apple so he's making money regardless.

Nice portal reference. :)
