Sorry about this but I fell so out of it lately that I have been a terrible poster to the site. It's not that I want to be so lame but I have really no motivation to work much on this. I'm not happy with the layout and I don't know how to fix it, working on it has me feeling like I need hit in the face to feel better.
In an interview Gamepro had with John Kohler, Senior Marketing Manager at SCEA about the future of the PS3 he revealed that they had no plans to integrate Netflix streaming on the PS3. They aren't developing any plans to allow internet streaming media solutions via the console at all.
The most recent Xbox 360 update added Netflix streaming support. Any word on possible Netflix integration on the PS3? Is Sony talking to Netflix?We've concentrated most of our efforts on our download service, both rentals and downloads of movies and TV shows. Our efforts will continue to be there, because our customers want to own the content....I was in a focus group in New York recently, and the topic of Netflix came up with a group of Xbox 360 owners. [Most of] those people weren't aware of the Netflix agreement. Those that knew wanted to know the difference between Netflix streaming on the PC versus the Xbox 360. They discovered that it's obviously the same, and those people wanted to know what the "specialness" of that would be. The moderator mentioned that you could watch [the Netflix streams] in your living room. But many of the participants said, "but I could watch that on my laptop, too."
[In regards to the Netflix streaming on NXE,] there are certainly some positives for the Xbox 360. But there's also some confusion. It goes further into the argument of "owning the content" [versus renting or accessing it].
Now after reading that, just what does Sony's idea of content ownership entail? perhaps the terms and services might clear that up-

Thanks to Dan Trachtenberg for posting this to twitter. The 2nd trailer for Terminator Salvation has been released, and I am very proud to present it to you here.
Note the awesome Termiocycles and the huge harvester at the end. McG has certainly set the bar high but unfortunately Christian Bale is still using his "I'm batman" voice.
Official Plot Synopsis: In the highly anticipated new installment of “The Terminator” film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

Created and written by Bill Willingham in 2002, The multiple Eisner Award winning comic is based in a world where fairy tale characters have been forced out of their homeland by an enemy known only as the Adversary.

McKidd wasn't the first Brit offered the role, James Bond actor Daniel Craig has previously talked about having to turn down the part due to his Bond duties.

On the 19th of November Microsoft released its much anticipated fall update for the Xbox 360. And as is with all change there was both joy and confusion because of it.
The entire look of the system was redone in a way that eireilly reminds you of an Apple design. With the layout changes also came
The way these pros and cons add up I like it, though it certainly isn't without its flaws.
Here's a tip - don't try playing Halo 3 off of the hard drive, just don't.
