The Official Console Wars Thread

[courtdog]

I don't get it, but Chewy as has been well documented has a thing for me
But I've told that fakkit over and over I'd never give up my freedom to cater to his feminine characteristics.
I'm dropping knowledge, and he says I'm making a Flame thread
The problem anything YOU/ME have an opinion on, they'll deem a flame thread.
For instance. If you like say.. Killzone?
Then say you make a thread proving that Killzone's graphics haven't been touched on any other console. Could prove that as fact.

WOULDN'T THAT BE NEWS WORTHY TO SOME OF YOU?

Well according to Chewy, you'd be flaming because you have an opinion on that.
Thats bullshyt.
So, I'm reposting a thread I made (again) because it doesn't violate any of the rules set forth. Not a single one of them. I'll repeat what Manti posted...

There is no need to have multiple threads on the exact same topic. It is not necessary to create a new thread just to share your personal opinion on an already established topic.

Thats cool, now show me and everybody else where there is a similar thread to what you erased? In fact, the entire "console war thread" you created you even say in the first post is gonna be a place you put my threads in
So your already guilty of being a Flashlight fakkit
I didn't break any rules, your just being an overzealous fakkit as usual
I guess we'll have to take this little beef to the highest court in the land Because I'm here for the PEOPLE. I'm not here to silence the people
I speak for the majority when I say, Manti... fukk outta hurr

Now what I'm about to post cannot be debunked. You can't go to neogaf and hope you can find an article to save you. There is nothing you can do but read and learn, or not read and burn
Lets read this to understand the real truth about why PSN could never be on par with XBL unless they actually started charging for it

This won’t come as a shock to anyone, but remember that shockingly successful PS3 root key hack? Turns out GameFront’s Phil Owen was right: Pandora’s Box is open, and it looks like it contained nothing but dikks. Who have invaded PSN and filled it full of cheapo cheats that have rendered Call of Duty’s various multiplayers functionally unplayable.

Joystiq reports that legit players are absolutely fuming over this, and for good reason. Unfair advantages abound, legit players are finding their stats deleted and getting their asses unfairly kicked, and generally, the only people enjoying themselves are the jerks lording it over everyone else. So it’s basically like High School. Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling weighed in Over at their official forums, acknowledging the problem, but unfortunately, also advising the CoD community that they are effectively screwed for the foreseeable future:

Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they’re played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker’s attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples.

(Cockemeat here, so this affects the popular games? Who doesn't like popular games here!!!)

If you are concerned about playing with players who are hacking, I encourage you to play exclusively with friends by utilizing the party or private match options in Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4 to avoid such players as much as possible until this issue is resolved by Sony.

Sorry guys, but it gets worse. If you’ve already been shafted by the nefarious douchbaggery of hacking asshats, it’s a warm cup of SOL.

At this time, we do not have the ability to restore or adjust individual stats.

They insist that they’re working on a solution to this but, as they’re admittedly limited by the fact that the problem is in the PS3′s firmware, it looks like it’s the Sony cavalry or none at all. The good news for Call of Duty fans is that Black Ops multiplayer has its own security system that isn’t dependent on Sony. The bad news for everyone else is that it’s only a matter of time before you are all f’d to the highest degree possible. Red Dead Redemption fans might want to watch their backs.

Read it, take it in. A hater soon shall dig into this article to try to discredit it instead of actually reading what its saying. The date is very significant too
Because this was the reality on PSN BEFORE THE KEYS WERE OFFCIALLY OUT IN THE WILD.
In fact, almost 2yrs before that finally happened.

PSN been fukked up for a loooooooong time, never got fixed. They even stole 77million user accounts info. THEN LOST THE KEYS AFTER THAT HAPPENED and 3cepts alike didn't even blink
Like if all your info isn't currently compromised because of the keys in the wild?
This is insane, but hey. Lets talk about why Netflix isn't free
Netflix isn't free because the same hacker could infiltrate XBL via an exploit if those things were free. Xbox could of just said that, kept it moving
Instead, they keep adding stuff to XBL. And XBL is really turning out to be a great place to be. I be there more than I watch TV now, and I'm not alone
And best of all, I can play online without having to worry if the aimbot I'm playing against has my Credit Card info

Lets discuss this like Adults. If what I am saying here is false, please prove it so we all can be more educated on this issue. Don't give me a free copy of Plants vs Zombies and tell me to shut up...

I don't play call of duty so?

 

[courtdog]

Now all I'm looking for is for somebody to prove it wrong.
We don't need 20threads on this, just this one.
We don't need a flamethrower either, just intelligent conversation to come to a conclusion?
If that is too much to ask for, whats the purpose of having a message board for

@Bud Bundy, what games do you play on ps3. I'll show you how it affects you too!!!

mostly 3rd person sandbox games (assassins creed, GTA, Skyrim etc...) I don't really play multiplayer games.

 

[courtdog]

It would be appreciated if you didn't come here to say that.
You can start a thread talking about how XBL can/needs to improve itself and I'd be there to reply to you like an adult

I know thats too much to ask from the likes of a "pro ps3" poster. I just thought that maybe one day you guys would turn a corner?
You know massa is getting upset now

 

[mozichrome]

I'm a sometimes Black Ops online player
I mostly play sports games.....never play them online

other than that black ops online, i dont see how this affects me

Well then for the most part the only thing you'd have to really worry about is making sure you don't have your credit card info tied to your PSN account or the email you associate with your PSN account. Very important because 77 million PSN accounts were compromised

Reports: 77 Million PlayStation Network Accounts Compromised | PCWorld

Now whats alarming is after that happened, the "keys" as they call it was released into the wild. What that means is, there is no such thing as fixing an exploit on PSN anymore (Tru fukkin Story) because...

They insist that they’re working on a solution to this but, as they’re admittedly limited by the fact that the problem is in the PS3′s firmware, it looks like it’s the Sony cavalry or none at all.

And what happened after that profound statement by a developer?
PlayStation 3: The Final Hack? • Blogs • Eurogamer.net
What this means is they can't stop things like...

Pandora’s Box is open, and it looks like it contained nothing but dikks. Who have invaded PSN and filled it full of cheapo cheats
AND Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they’re played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker’s attention, due to its high player counts and popularity

And any game that later becomes "popular" will attract the same type of cheaters.

Now if you wanna play online with either GTA4 (and soon GTA5) or Assassins Creed? like Bud asked about?
Well, expect this to happen DAY ONE GTA5 PS3


Because like I been saying, they can no longer stop it. If anyone is not sure of what I'm saying, just name the game and i'll show you what is going on...

 

[Doctor Wily]

i dont really play fps games so & my credit card info was never on the psn network


just saying man.

@Cockmeat Sandwich

junk email and I use PSN cards.

What exactly do you want OP? You say to prove you wrong. In what regard? Whether there are COD cheats? Whether there are system-wide cheats? I haven't played COD in a long time but the last time I played on PS3 was when cheats had just begun and it was really annoying. I haven't experience in any other online game I've played for PS3 which really mostly only consists of fighters these days. And soon, Anarchy Reigns as soon as I get to fire that up.

I'm sure that GTA link I just posted proves the point, they can do the same while playing Blackops or any other game on the platform
You wouldn't realize it, and if you did. You'd just chalk it up to lag like you normally do
But its probably not lag

Now I'll show you a vid in one second. But first I want to point out that since PSN is free, the worst they could do is block your psn-gamertag from getting on
Then all you'd have to do is log in under another name and continue the fukkery until you get reported again, and the long process that is PSN happens again. Basically they can't stop you. ON XBL, since you have a paid for gamertag, they ban you its over. Or unless you'd rather pay another $35+ just to cheat on a game? See how its less likely? Just saying, not waving any pom pom's here. I hope I didn't offend anyone with that comment

You can go to Blackopsii.com to see exactly how they handle this...

Modding / Hacking / Pirated Content

Running an illegal or a modified version of the game is subject to penalty.
Results in a permanent ban. Xbox 360 (Xbox LIVE) and PlayStation 3 (PSN) users are reported to their console manufacturer. PC users will be reported to the Steam enforcement team.

Unsupported Hardware And Applications

Utilizing unsupported hardware (modded Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers, lag switches, etc.) or applications (hacks, IP flooders, etc.), that interact with the game, are subject to penalty.
Minor offences result in a temporary ban with the users stats & emblems reset. The user will also have their leaderboard entries deleted.
Repeated or extreme offenses will result in a permanent ban. In some cases Xbox LIVE bans might be possible.

Basically they saying its up to each platform to police this. One platform gave its keys to the wild

^^^ Now that hack was released to use on all systems (xbox/ps3/pc) ^^^

Its already been fixed on xbox. I can't speak for PC. It CAN'T BE FIXED on ps3
Why? Because of the exploits/keys situation.

Is this a big deal to anybody now? Any game, please let me know. I'm here all day
