I know exactly what you mean about PlayStation HOME.

I was in the plaza area testing out the feature when I saw a guy ask a girl:

“Hey girl, how old r u?”

she replied, “13, how old r u?”

he replied, “31, want to have sex?”

and then starts dancing up against her with his character.

So, now the world of Sony’s HOME has been invaded by the pedophile much like MySpace before it.

HOME is no doubt a disaster waiting to happen.

“Scrabulous is coming back to Facebook.” – Nope, completely misreported by the Edge website.

According to the AP story, part of the agreement is that the Agarwallas make changes to Wordscraper (the game they put out to try to dodge the litigation) to make it even *less* like Scrabble. They’re hardly likely to be allowed to rip off Scrabble directly again.

addicted to Warcraft?..I am addicted to this blog….avid reader since 2007 – first heard about it from i think the Metro/some paper/magazine that mentioned it as an interesting blog.

I do however disagree with some of your thoughts on adult entertainment but alas, intellectual debate is the way forward!.

Keep it up.

bruce max respect for you.You are an insider and veteran of gaming industry.but I disagree with you only on the fact that you consider Microsoft and Xbox360 as the salvation of gaming industry.So I think in this recession AAA multiplatform titles are the only salvation for developers and exclusive titles for sony and microsoft and Nintendo (in fact Nintendo core business is exclusive and cheap titles).And first and the most important thing is: gaming web sites and journalists must help and defend gaming industy for what is now.I don’t understand why there are so many ps3 hating articles over the web. today with high costs to develop games there must be a place for Sony Microsoft and Nintendo.however yes maybe phone and expecially netbooks will be the hottest and fastest growing platforms as you said before.

ChesterP, I am just reporting facts. And you ought to read my blog more deeply. For I have written before that the hottest and fastest growing platforms are phones and netbooks. The latter of which will be bigger than any console.

you’ve forgot to write at the and of the article 9th story: xbox360 is the best console of the world and will sell like hot pancakes forever and Microsoft is the only recession proof.And then wii bubble is next to burst, it’s inevitable and then Sony is already dead psn is broken and exclusive games on ps3 have terrible sales and are epic fail.
