Final Fantasy X getting a remake!

It seems that my favorite Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy X is getting a remake! It's going to be an HD remake for the PS3 and the Playstation Vita (the handheld successor to the PSP, which is equal in power to a PS3!).

I can't wait to be able to play the remade version! I really wonder if there will be any updates, or if it will simply be the same things once again. I know that it'll be an HD remake, but if there will be any other meaningful changes - I just don't know.

Playstation 4, arrives 2012?!

It seems that the Playstation 4 may be arriving in 2012!

It seems that the Playstation 3's life may soon be over... With all of the problems that Sony is having, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumor is true. GameSpot says that it was found out through some component makers in Taiwan that said they're beginning work on the next console!

We'll just have to wait and see if it's true or not, but I hope some stuff about it is leaked before the actual release so I can get some specs or some details or something! Also, GameSpot says it's motion control-based, so it may be like a better graphics version of Playstation Move, but combined into the system.

360 update causes discs to not work - PS3s update causes overheating

Microsoft's Xbox 360 recently had some troubles that caused retail discs to not work in some Xbox 360s and Sony's recent update seems to be causing overheating for people's consoles. Sony is, of course, having the worst time of all (because they're having way more troubles, like with their network, the natural disasters, etc...), but it's surprising to see 360 have an error like this at the same time.

I guess just don't update your systems for a while, until they've patched out these strange errors; Microsoft says to contact them if your 360 doesn't read discs after the update.

Eidos Montreal hacked, 350 Resumes Stolen and 25000 emails stolen

It seems that another company has been hacked; recently, PSN was hacked multiple times. Sony's Playstation Network was hacked because of terrible and unpatched security, which allowed for the hackers to steal names, addresses, emails and even credit card information.

Eidos Montreal is a part of Square Enix, a giant publisher based out of Japan; they have been hit hard recently - earthquakes, tsunamis, PSN's hack (affected a lot of companies) and now one of their own network's was hacked.

Square Enix has confirmed that they took it down immediately after, but the hack still allowed the hackers to take 350 resumes (which means they probably also stole every bit of information about these people...) and 25,000 email addresses were also stolen.

Microsoft, Buying Skype for $8.5 billion dollars!

Microsoft has announced that they are going to buy Skype for $8,500,000,000 (Eight-billion-five-hundred-million dollars). This is going to be huge for both of these companies; Skype is one of the biggest online video chat and telephone groups, allowing for free communication on some things.

Kinect and Skype are going to be compatible with each other, soon; Xbox 360 is going to be getting updates to be compatible with Skype. This will allow for a whole new age of communication on Xbox Live; some think it might even be free to make video calls if you have a Gold account on Xbox Live (Gold accounts are paid accounts - you pay a small monthly fee for access to tons of stuff).

Well, we'll see how it all goes... I hope it goes well. After seeing what has happened to Sony, I'm becoming more of a supporter of Xbox Live... I still like the PS3 system, more, but Microsoft's networks are far superior and aren't handled by complete morons like at Sony...

PSN, Top PSN downloads

Here is the list of top PSN downloads... XD

Playstation Netwrok, YOUR INFO STOLEN, It only does IDENTITY THEFT

PSN has been hacked and everyone who has an account on the Playstation Network has had their information stolen. You might want to check to see if your identity was stolen by doing a credit check - mostly if you had your credit cards stored on PSN. (if you ever used it on PSN, that is)

Now, the PS3 is being devalued and becoming a running joke for everyone on the net; who would want to own something made by a company that stores passwords, credit card information and personal addresses in plain text? They didn't even encrypt it at all! It was just sitting in some computer somewhere, waiting to be stolen!

Nintendo, Confirms Next-gen Console Playable at E3 2011

Nintendo has confirmed that their next-gen console will be playable at E3 2011. They have stated that the system will be available by early 2012. Nintendo's profits have fell sharply, mostly because of declining sales of the Nintendo Wii.

Microsoft's Kinect and Playstation Move are two of the biggest factors hurting Nintendo; now, Nintendo has created a new system that will truly be revolutionary, called the Nintendo Stream - according to some sources. It will have an HD 1080p, six-inch screen on four different controllers streamed from the console. This is like processing four different games at the same time!

The Nintendo Stream is sounding pretty cool, I think! I know I'll be getting one :D

Uncharted 3, FaceBook integrated into the game

Uncharted 3 is coming November 1st, 2011. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is the second sequel to Uncharted, a game that came out a few years ago for the PS3. Both of the Uncharted games thus far have been released to a great critical reception, so I expect no less from this. I haven't played either of the first two games, but I plan to buy them soon and review them.

It was just announced that FaceBook will be integrated into the game; they say that those who log into the Playstation Network will be able to share videos and screenshots of their game and chat with their FaceBook friends, all while playing Uncharted 3.

I look forward to playing Uncharted 3, and the first two once I get them in a few days. I'm ordering them on Amazon.com, right now! :D

Sony has sold 50,000,000 PS3 - 8,000,000 Move

Sony has announced that they've sold 50,000,000 Playstation 3s and 8,000,000 Playstation Moves. Microsoft had already reached the same goal with the Xbox 360 months ago and with the Kinect, as well. The Playstation Network has 75,000,000 accounts registered!

Microsofts Xbox 360 had made the goal of 50,000,000 units sold all the way back in January; this is probably because of the humongous interest in the Microsoft Kinect, which has been used for way more than just another controller for the 360. The Kinect is a sensor that doesn't require you to hold any controller at all.
