Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PlayStation 3 Hack
Sony is threatening to sue anybody posting or “distributing” the first full-fledged jailbreak code for the 4-year-old PlayStation 3 gaming console.

What’s more, the company is demanding that a federal judge order Google to surrender the IP addresses and other identifying information of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page. The game maker is also demanding that Twitter provide the identities of a host of hackers who first unveiled a limited version of the hack in December.

Ps3 jailbreak thread posters are next. Fazle will be getting a call for your IPs. How can you support this company??

 

[assclown]

Glad I'm too much of a fanboy to ever support this.

Seriously though, I lost interest in piracy a long time ago. Ruins gaming IMO.

They should embrace it and support open source. It would probably help in hardware sales.

embrace having no software sales by allowing this. that doesnt seem like a good idea for a video game system since no one makes alot of money on hardware.

seriously. but they have right to - people can do this at no cost and not much effort, and pirate everything without recourse.

People spend more money gaming on PC around the world than on consoles.

Doubt that...from a software standpoint. Do you have any sources?

Nah just rough estimates. Nothing is tracked well enough.

Discrete Graphics card sales + Boxed and Online sales of PC games + Gaming peripherals + MMO subscriptions + microtransactions in browser gaming/facebook gaming and other unique revenue streams in the PC space.

Although is you counted the portables as consoles it'd probably kick the PC's ass.

Actually yes.

^^^ that proves nothing. Doesn't show the combination of multi-plat games, and only proves that there are a few PC games that have sold more than a few console games. Also as for the "more money" thing, it doesn't take into account that PC games cost less and are more highly discounted (especially via steam) than console games.

This is a list of video games that have sold or shipped at least one million copies on a single platform (unless otherwise noted).

You were saying?

 

[Ghost of Swayze]

Actually yes.

[/LIST] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games

That quite a biased list you have there


You conveniently left out Nintendo..which alone would destroy your argument and the PS2 and the fact that most of the games are multi-platform between 360 and PS3

You should fax this to the CEO of nintendo an 85 billion dollar company. They need a good laugh

 

[Chitown B]

You were saying?

again, no point. Do you know how many console games are probably just under a million? I can only imagine it's way more than PC games. And the whole point was "spent more" not "bought more"
