Virtual Fighter is awesome too Anuban! Mobile Suit Gundam is right up their alley over there in Japan. Now with the end of GDC and Sony PS3 going away with many honors, there’s a change coming. A sense of balance that will benefit us gamers.
Sony’s “Home 3-D Interactive space (Sony bought Second Life 2 years ago to make “Home”) and game trailers were awesome (including Killzone II. Plus they released The completely remarkable Edge Development Platform for RSX and Cell game optomization. It’s a completely free set of tools meant to power the PS3 Developers into the future.
On top of that they showcased an incredibly Beautiful new game called “Little Big Planet” and here’s a video at YouTube:

All three platforms have some great games and appeal to different users in different ways. This is great for all us gamers. The Last time we didn’t have this and the competition wasnn’t that great. So in the end it’s we gamers who win, if we can just realise that!
Hope things are going well in school for you. You are entering a wide open field people dream of working in! Hope the best for you! No matter who wins this round we gamers are the winners!

Re: tidles
When it makes Sony look bad you want it, now when things are turning in Sony PS3’s favor and makes them look good you don’t want it posted. You are a sad little monkey man, like your daddy Steve “Monkey Man” Balmer!.
What happens at the Euro launch and Sony PS3 sales crush everything else? Or how about at the end of the year with “Home” running beautifully and games like Killzone, MGS4, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, as the list goes on, have the PS3 breaking all records!

tidles: the website isn’t called “America’s Digital Battle” is it?

Monarky: I dont think tidles is against Sony. When PS3 only sold 19.000 units, he wrote almost the exact same crap. But he is sad though, and he writes incrediply stupid comments

I’d rather see some sort of report rather than one once a month.
