Education Minute: Why Sony Never Considered Going Hard Drive-less

Well, I mangled that header nicely. Sorry.
Unlike the Xbox 360, Sony never gave consumers the option to purchase a Playstation 3 without a hard drive. Microsoft touted the drive-less 360s as a cheaper option for families who are less into the hardcore stuff (like the Xbox 360 Arcade Pack), but Sony decided against going that […]

Rise of the Argonauts: Jason is Bloody Ripped

You know what sucks? Having to type shit up after being bit on the hand by a dog. That sucks. The wound’s swelled up nicely and thanks to an appropriately-located red mark, it looks like I have a boob growing on the back of my hand.

Sony Owns a Piece of Microsoft’s Soul, Maybe

We already know that HD-DVD got pounded by Blu-ray in the Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Media Destiny, thus giving the Playstation 3 that much more of an advantage in this wacky next-gen console race.
