Indeed it is, nice sig though :D

Imagine if Kushan's theory was right and he's a disgruntled ex-worker, he built up the trust of the community by leaking info about the slim so he could set this up for EA :laugh: That would be the tech story of the year!

Why thank you. :p

@Audio, Mel is NOT a douche! You are on crackers!

Oh lol. Well I can't say your on drugs on a PG-13 forum. :p

Oh wait...I just did. :laugh:

Sure you can. There are much more 'harsh' drug comments around the forums. I know, as I've posted a few. :p

I don't, however, do drugs (anymore).

OT though, EA are little bitches.

Sixth Axis just posted an article about this. It says that Kotaku (lol) contacted EA and Sony and they said it's all fabrication, which really means absolutely nothing. They also go on to say that Super_Secret himself has admitted it's all complete lies even though his post count still sits as 22. I'd link to the article but it's just offensive to your eyes. :p

Word is still spreading, it seems. Less-than-reputable sites are still reporting this, although rather like chinese whispers the story seems to be changing ever so slightly with each news post:

We have been working the phones today, and trying to run down some rumors about a nixed PS3 firmware update feature that would enable cross-game voice chat being held back by a publisher who does not want its titles to look bad because they don?t support the feature.

According to what our sources are telling us, the company is said to be none other than Electronic Arts, and they have allegedly threatened everything from killing off all PS3 support to the launching of long and protracted legal action in order to stop the firmware update for the PS3 from going live in the next build.

From what we hear, both EA and Sony are suggesting that the entire thing is a total fabrication and nonsense. EA claims that they support cross-game chat on other systems, so there is no reason they would not support it on the PS3.

We have attempted to contact Sony?s new Director of Rumor Confirmation, Kevin Butler, but the operator at the corporate office had no listing by name or by job title in her directory. I guess Butler is so new on the job that they have not been able to get him into the system yet. We will update you when we have more on this, but it does seem at least plausible at the moment.

No mention of N4G, SS or anything like that. Just "their sources" lol

I'm pretty sure that article is a joke. Director of Rumor Confirmation, Kevin Butler is the guy from the new US PS3 adverts. :p

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
