Share the post "Teenager Kills Brother Over PlayStation Argument"

I just read a gruesome news in the BBC website that a teenager in Chile had killed his older brother after an argument over a PlayStation console. Over … a … Playstation … console

While the two were home alone, the younger teenager is said to have flown into a rage after his older brother powered on his PlayStation without first asking his permission. The younger boy allegedly picked up a kitchen knife and plunged it into his brother’s chest. The boys’ adoptive mother was in Belgium. The two are said to have been abandoned by their biological mother and were in care for 10 years before being taken in.

The younger brother even admitted to police about it. Man, wonder how he felt now that he just killed his older brother just for that. Back when people would just use their knuckles, today they use deadly weapons. Ack!

Share the post "PS3 Owner Gets $100 Rebate For Losing Linux"

Got this one from Tom’s Hardware.

A European PS3 owner has claimed a partial refund because of Sony’s decision to axe Linux support.

When Tom’s Hardware reported that Sony would be ditching OtherOS support, killing off the ability to run Linux on your console, a lot of PS3 users suggested that this could not be legal. What about people who purchased the PS3 with this feature in mind? Wouldn’t taking it away mean the console no longer performed as advertised?

Well, that’s what one European user said when he complained to Amazon. PlayStation University reports that NeoGAF forum moderator “iapetus” received over $100 in credit from Amazon for his original purchase of his PlayStation 3. Iapetus filed a complaint with the etailer on the grounds that removing Linux support violates European Union consumer laws. Amended in 2002 to affect all EU member states, the law states that all goods “must be fit for the purpose which the consumer requires them and which was made known to the seller at the time of purchase.”

PlayStation University reports that because Sony made it known at the time of purchase that you would be able to install an ‘Other OS’ the owner was able to raise this issue with Amazon. Amazon’s policy was to offer a partial refund whether the consumer had used that feature or not.

It’s not yet clear if Amazon has awarded other PS3 owners similar rebates, or even if anyone else has tried to get a refund.

Share the post "Best Gameplay Graphics So Far? PS3’s God Of War 3"

Out of all the consoles, I have been impressed with Sony’s Playstation 3’s graphics on all its games. And God of War 3 is the best of them all … so far. Just check out this YouTube Video. Even the gameplay itself looks like a CGI animation. Very very impressive!

This video is not for kids though. Even with just this short battle scene, it already features gory details during the fight. But if you are an adult, click away!
