And I'm sure the song would be convolutedly and heart-breakingly painful. And there would be some clearly discernable commentary on society and politics hidden in the personal tragedy.
I love Thom, and the rest of Radiohead, too, of course.

don't want to hijack this topic, cause i don't have any new info about ps3 wipe, but one step is acheived last day by purchasing a new Samsung lcd ( le32r73bd ) for playing in perfect condition when ps3 come with wipeout :)
i ve changed my old sony ( 14 years old always working perfectly ) hope to enjoy my new tv as long as it :)
Asa - have you played Pure on your big new HDTV yet using your PSP2TV? :)
Thats what I was planning doing at Christmas - on Kai of course ;)
What I want to know is if the PS3 actually exists. So far I've seen lots of hype and one tv ad two days ago that did not mention any actual date of availability. Is that just the usual pre-emptive advertising/promise that won't be delivered on for months or years that Sony often does to try to beat out competitive products that are actually already on sale?
They were planning a worldwide launch...and this is the final result.
Japan: 11/11/06
North America: 16/11/06
Europe and Australasia: Hell/freezes/over
I love being a Brit sometimes...but the reaosns are slowly fading away. I must admit I fell in love with the USA when I went this summer. So its just another nail in the coffin for em to move when i get the chance to :p
Anyway, back on topic...*relurks*
Hopefully we'll see the PS3 in Europe in march 2007....
With the next Wipeout? That would be great :)
Probably not and definately not ;)
I don't want a new WipEout to be released within the next year, really not.
It's the 1st time that a WipEout is no launch title for a new PlayStation console, which means that Studio Liverpool has the time to include all planned finally.
Just an example: as far as I know the classic tracks in pure look like "tron" because SL didn't have the time to completely re-create them with all the environment.
Now SL can take as much time as they want (if there's no Sony boss who thwarts them) and they really should use that time so the next WipEout will be something outstanding; gameplay, graphic and content wise.
this made me laugh :)Quote:

it's meant to tie into central station and playstation online. so if you didn't activate the network gaming thing with your psp or ps2 then you should probably do so to get the name you want in preparation for the ps3
Yeah mate i did it on our last session recorded, i must say this is absolutely playable , not pixellized at all ; it's just a bit weird to change from a tiny wonderful screen ( the one from the psp) to a large big tv screen.Quote:

sweet mate, cheers for the heads up :):)
could this be Wipeout PS3 info? Well, we don`t know, but the idea of recording ingame footage sounds exciting for those online battles we`re hopefully going to have. :)
The link also contains Phil Harrison using the phrase "data cloud". This is going to catch on, and I`m going to use it at every opportunity from now on. :+
Hopefully PS3 WipEout is the unannounced game being mentioned there. :nod
Even if it isn't though, we could well see a homebrew app that does the same thing*.
* - No need to worry about Sony blocking this sort of thing outright - PS3 is officially open-source!
Could anyone give me an idea when we are likely to see the PS3 version?
I must admit it is my most anticipated game. I see that some people have already got a PS3 :):)
I want one for Christmas :)
Next Christmas, you mean? ;)
We likely will not see the PS3 version untill at least 2008. There's still a long time to wait.
Awwww dont say that :)
Hopefully an Online Hi-Def Quantum Redshift will come out on the 360 in the meantime ;)
I read this article in Time Magazine!!
Will still buy the PS3, only when wipEout becomes available!!
Sony's Playstation 3 is Not Worth the Hype
People who have been camping out for days finally get their PS3s today. Sadly, both their time and money has been wasted

Sony released the Playstation 3 in Japan on November 11. That was last Saturday. By Thursday Japanese import units had already made their way halfway around the world to New York City's Chinatown, where they were available for a 100% markup — and they were selling. That's how high the demand is for Sony's new video game machine: people would actually pay double the price to get it one day early. The Playstation 3 goes on sale in the U.S. today, but I wouldn't recommend buying one, not even for the regular price, which is plenty expensive without the import markup. Sure, the Playstation 2 was the bestselling machine from the previous generation, and sure, the Playstation3 is powered by a stupendously powerful chip, the "Cell processor." (I'm sorry, but naming a computer chip is like naming your genitals: you're compensating for something.) Patience, young padawan. The time has not yet come.
Look at what you get. The Playstation 3 is expensive: $500 or $600 bucks, depending on which version you buy, plus $60 for each game. (An Xbox 360 only costs $400 max, and Nintendo's Wii — yep, that name, still funny — is only $250.) For that kind of scratch you want the deluxe treatment, and the PS3 simply doesn't deliver it. It's got some good-looking games, but unless you have a top-notch TV, the difference isn't mind-blowing. (And even if you do have a fancy TV, Sony makes you supply your own HDMI cable. Stingy.) And Sony's launch line-up just isn't that interesting. Almost all the PS3's outstanding games — F.E.A.R., Madden NFL '07, Need for Speed: Carbon, Call of Duty 3 — are available on the Xbox 360, and most (all except F.E.A.R.) are out for the Wii, too. There just isn't the leverage there to make buying a PS3 de rigeur.
The only exclusive Playstation 3 title I'm really excited about is Resistance: Fall of Man, which is a truly fun shoot'em up set in an alternative version of the 1950s. Aliens have invaded earth; your job is to put bullets in them. While doing so you prowl through some gloriously detailed, beautifully gloomy factories and labs and shattered cityscapes. The audio is gorgeous, the weapons copious and diverse, the levels huge and complex. In short, it's my idea of a good time.
But so is Gears of War, the stunning shooter just out for the Xbox 360. Resistance isn't enough to drive sales of a $600 console, or it shouldn't be. Playstation 3 doesn't have a battle-tested, feature-rich online service the way the Xbox does. It doubles as a Blu-Ray DVD player (that's the main reason for the high retail price), but guess what? Nobody cares. And did I mention Playstation 3 controllers don't rumble? Whose genius idea was that? Without rumble, it just ain't a jungle.
Give it time. The price will (probably) come down. Sony's online strategy will (probably) mature. More decent games will come out — the Playstation3 is notoriously difficult to develop for, and game-makers are still figuring out how to get the most out of it. Next holiday season, it just might be worth it. For now it's pretty much moot anyway. Because of the difficulty of manufacturing Playstation 3's, Sony has only been able to put a few hundred thousand units on sale in the U.S., so unless you spent last night camped out in front of a Gamestop, buying a Playstation3 is not an option. Congratulations: you made the right call. And you smell better for it, too.
