Yeah, there is a bit more of a learning curve with that game. I find it a lot more interesting than the Call of Duty games though. I think it's the inherent feeling of teamwork that MAG delivers; something CoD just doesn't.

Really? I've still felt like I've been on my own, with the exception of once where I was in a vehicle with some other people trying to storm a gate.

That said, I am completely aware that I haven't given it enough of a chance yet. Once the PSN is back up I'll be back to it.

Is GameStop in the UK? No. Is the article about the UK? Yes. Your brother may as well work in McDonald's.

?We?re just ten days into the month and already we have an increase of 200 per cent in PS3s coming into the store compared to all of March."

Do you really think there would be a story if it went from 1 console to 2? Really?

Paint as many pictures as you like, condensing ****. I don't have to prove **** to you.

:rofl: Might as well have worked at McDonald's? That's the silliest thing I've heard on Neowin in a while, so kudos on that. Because it's not like the gaming industry trends in America and the UK aren't pretty analogous for the most part, now is it? Not like they're in the exact same industry, now are they? Not like they're both the same type of store, eh? Not like they both offer trade-in deals, huh? Not like the only significant difference between them is location, right?

If you would stop trying to make a point with asinine logic, I wouldn't be condescending ("condensing" in your words, I suppose).

Yet, I bet you would be the first to moan if "gas" prices doubled...

Read the entire conversation, please. The gas price already operates at a high base number -- the amount of gas bought per day across the world is insanely high, as is the average amount and frequency with which an individual purchases gas.

My preceding posts already addressed your point, so why do I need to make yet another counter argument? All you're trying to do is change the discussion into something it's not by distracting away from the issue of the overall amount of trade-ins. If two sales still aren't a lot, then that disproves your point, does it not? Because no one's arguing that two isn't more than one, but good straw man.

How am I trying to change the discussion when you were the one replying to me with some kind of beyond my point "counter" argument?

My point still remains whether you get it or not, which apparently you don't and I don't yours.

I fully get your point, and no, it's not a counter-point, it's just an attempt to distract from the discussion we've been having. Your "counter-argument's" implication is that because two is more than one, two is a large number by comparison. That's not an argument. I don't see anyone arguing that a larger number of trade-ins has occurred -- that information was quite clearly in the article itself, which is why your argument is a straw man.

You've already admitted as much to the discussion we're having (which is essentially whether or not the amount of trade-ins occuring is enough to amount to more than a hill of beans):

Is it drastic in the sense that it will affect the PS community of over 70 million (or whatever)? Absolutely not lol.

I was thinking of buying red dead redemption today; will i still be able to play it even though the PSN is still down? I wasnt sure whether it would need updates prior to the first play and if so would this still be possible?

Game updates still work since it doesnt go through PSN servers. I was thinking about getting the same game also but I might wait until the price goes down and get Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

There was a rumor that Sony might enable a new feature early, outside the timetable of releases planned for 2011 with the Webkit and ecosystem (NGP & Android) updates coming to the PS3.

Cross game chat and a Chrome browser was mentioned. We all know Chrome isn't coming, it's a GTK webkit. Cross game chat will probably require Collabora's Telepathy installed and running. Webkit & GTK toolkit are probably going to be integrated into the PS3 OS so those coming outside the timetable is unlikely. But if released early it might affect some games thus my questions (below).

The above might support PSN changes, what changes? That's the reason for my questions: New hoops because of new PSN features affecting games? Planned timetables for release of new Sony SDKs and resulting required updates to games now messed up?

Anyone hearing from developers on this issue?

Report: Amazon cloud servers used to hack PSN

To the Cloud

Citing an anonymous source, the report (via Venture Beat) states that the account with Amazon was legitimate, although the hackers used an alias to set up the data center rental agreement.

Once the account with Amazon?s Elastic Compute Cloud service for web-based business was launched, the hacker attacked the PSN servers. Obviously, the account with Amazon has since been shuttered.

Amazon both declined to comment on the source?s claims to Bloomberg, and there?s no word whether or not the legal officials involved will be able to trace the culprit through the service or not.

SCEA?s Patrick Seybold told Bloomberg that since the investigation into the hacking of PSN was still ongoing, it ?will not comment further on this matter.?

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
