* Lakeside Cabin - 6 Frames Max
* Chamber Apartment - 12 Frames Max

Sounds Great...Yes, you have to pay for it. If you want it...supposedly $2.99. Should be available today.

Looking forward to the bravia and music box coming soon. Got to beat the xbox guys.

-The fear from SONY is abuse of these features. So, please use good judgement.

Star Wars The Old Republic is MMO Desired

During EA conference, BioWare unleashed Star Wars The Old Republic. It looked sweet with the Sith Lords and bounty hunters slaying Jedi left and right. Looked Sweet. Wish they can bring this MMO to the PS3. See http://www.swtor.com/

Microsoft E3 has a Weaker Showing Than Expected


The conference today dashed all hopes of a new peripheral or portable game console. They came up with Natal which is the controller is basically you using a camera. This really already has been done at a fail. Have they come up with software to make it truely useful? They claim, yes, but from what I see is basicly an evitable epic fail again. Microsoft did the same thing as last year by grabbing another playststion game franchise...the Metal Gear series. Further proving that Sony is better. The cool thing they are going to offer free for gold members is LAST.fm(hopefully, free music to enjoy). HD movies instanly sounds good at 1080p(good improvement)...but at $5.99(I personally think they should make it lower to be more accepted). A super cool thing is that we will be able to share our movies and music with friends in our own party system. A basic version of Facebook is their attempt to be a somewhat answer to HOME. Trying make a social network...at least it is a step in the right direction. The only games they are offering is Halo ODST, Forza 3, and Alan Wake(not til 2010). My opinion is that competition makes everyone better.

So, we will see what SONY and Nintendo offers tomorrow.

My opinion is Microsoft is ok but not great with more improvements and games. Plus, no hand held again(I was hoping for an HD Zune gaming device, but nada). Natal is a question mark. The avatars are still out til lunch...bummer. Microsoft Studios needs more games to keep the console up to speed in my opinion. relying on third parties is a recipe for trouble ahead.

UFC 2009 Review From Gametrailers

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/49430.html

A couple of things I would of liked to see is a spectator mode to see the top fighters fight it out. And for friends to be able to watch two guys go at it as a serious challenge. It is just set up as a one on one. Maybe in an update. The review says it all.
