Check out the video below of Sony’s latest financial urination

Even if you are a Sony PSN fan… some part of you can’t be agreeing to this. “Tester” is a PSN exclusive reality show, coming in the form of 10 unfortunately deluded individuals battling it out for a job at Sony as a games tester, over 8 episodes. That’s right… a games tester. If anyone knows the games industry, then they know that this is like being tested mentally and physically in a game show to win a lifetime of luxury… only to be thrown into a poverty-stricken slum in the far corner of the earth.

I just kept forgetting about Blu-ray

Poor PSN. It’s just low-blow after low-blow with these guys. Poor online performace in all sectors, and now this. I mean it’s understandable, after what went into forcing themselves upon us without consent when Blu-ray came along. (continue reading…)

Stripped and Naked

I woke up today, earlier than usual, feeling good. Usually I brush any particular reason off to be happy in the morning and see what comes my way… but I came into work and was presented with the news that George Hot (GeoHot) had hacked the PS3. You might be thinking… “yeah so what, the PSP has been hacked many-a-time” … but this isn’t an ordinary hack… (continue reading…)

Bye!

Well well well, just what do we have here. This story hasn’t got the most exposure over the last few weeks… but if anyone knows just exactly what went into developing the Cell Broadband Engine, will be shaking their heads right now.

The Cell processor was being dubbed as the next big step in micro-processing technology… the big cheese of the computing world. It was going to be the game changer. The world wide web was filling up with all sorts of mythical, magical uses… it was going to be in your phones, your microwaves, your AM radio…

"Oh hai GT5. Lets be friends"

What to think about Gran Turismo. Granted, it’s a realistic racer… and a good quality one. We ain’t going to knock that. But, looking a little deeper… it clearly gives an insight into just what the hell is going on over at Sony Worldwide Studios. The game has been in the making for around 4 years now… and has cost a whopping $60 Million to make. (continue reading…)

"I've smoked THIS many in the past 5 minutes!"

Well, fuck me.

If this doesn’t paint a picture of how bad things are over at PlayStation – nothing will. Even here at MDF we know that Nintendo, the way things are going, are unbeatable (unless Microsoft REALLY do something drastic to even the score… oh, I don’t know, say buy 51% of Nintendo). We know that no matter what anyone says, about how Nintendo are not in the same category as Microsoft and Sony in an attempt to soften the blow that the underdog became king, they’re in the same game and they’re in it to win it – like the rest of us.

XCM Cross Battle Adapter

If your a PlayStation 3 owner, and don’t have an XBOX 360 or used an XBOX 360 (which makes us wonder why you’re here), then the XCM Cross Battle Adapter is now giving you the chance to experience the luxury, comfort and happiness that the XBOX 360 controller has to offer. It’s hard not to agree that the XBOX 360 has had more thought crafted into it’s comfortable curves – hardcore gamers know that playing intense games for long periods of time isn’t going to give them arthritis in the long run.

For the longest time I have been holding off writing anything about PlayStation Home. I wanted to give it a little time for things to level out before I was to make an statement about what this service is about. Over the past few weeks, it has started to become clear to the Microsoft Defense Force what is to be expected of this service, on the inferior PlayStation Network.
