                                        Tuesday, 26 May 2009. Before starting this topic, 'Games as Art', I though it would be a straight forward process and that games were art and that some were more arty than others. But I was wrong, because the definition of 'Art' is so controversial it is difficult to say what art really is. I believe that it is personal for everyone and that there are better pieces of art than others, measured by popularity perhaps? And with more time. With more time, I would like to have expanded on 'Fan art' and to exp...

                                        Monday, 11 January 2010. History of Sony Playstation. According to the Sony press release from March 2009 Sony has a revenue of nearly 11 Billion dollars and assets in excess of 50 Billion dollars. Sony's notable products and developments include, in 1994, the Playstion. Other products include the PS2 and Playstation 3, which now features the Playstation Store, an online service that can be downloaded from. In my next blog I will look at the Playstation Network (PSN).

                                        Wednesday, 11 November 2009. I have looked at a notorious scandal in 2005 that I have found to be quite disturbing, the company is now SONY. SONY then created a program that could be used that would remove the 'rootkit' but this was not the case, as it only, showed previously hidden files. Russionvich challenged this again and SONY recalled all software relating to the scam. Despite this I have found this Blog entry that I found at http:/ sonyplaystationteam5.blogspot.com/.

                                        http://philsgamesforgood.blogspot.com/2010/01/conclusion.html
                                        Wednesday, 13 January 2010. I have been looking at Sony and Playstation for several months and have found it interesting. The tactics used and methods have been surprising and a little disappointing but it is clear it is common within many companies. Large companies often doge and use underhand tactics to get any edge on the competition. 'Yellow light of death' illustrates this. The buzz word is 'social' and it is argued that Microsoft have been ahead but Playstation are catching up slowly. Over the next...

                                        Saturday, 7 November 2009. Yello Light of Death'. The Yellow light of Death. When the Playstation 3 was released in the UK it had a retail price of £425, which is a very large amount of money. Epically for something, that as little as 2 years later could need repairing. The problem, coined, 'The Yellow Light of Death' (YLD) is a 'non specific hardware error' and the cost to repair such a problem is around £145! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

                                        Tuesday, 12 January 2010. Sonys Playstation Network (PSN) is an online service created by Sony Computer Entertainment and allows access to downloadable content. This content includes older games, 'classics', updates for games, instruction manuals, instant messaging service, Trophies for in game achievements, web surfing, 'Life with Playstation', and among others 'Playstation Home'. I have found this piece by Michael Prince, where he talks about the 5 things the PSN needs to address in order to stay ahead...

                                        Monday, 26 October 2009. Release and predicted problems. Confusion before the Release. Prior to the PS3's release it was exhibited in 2005 at E3, although the version was not functional it did show some of its capabilities and also gave the audience a chance to see the hardware for themselves. By 2006 E3, this model of the PS3 had changed somewhat, to save cost, and also 2 versions were announced the 20Gb and the 60Gb. At the. Sony's PS3 was released in in. Playstation has also gambled greatly with the B...

                                        Friday, 17 April 2009. To discover what makes art, I have looked up the correct definition of Art. Which is, according to 'Dictionary.com' many things:. The quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. The class of objects subject to aesthetic criteria; works of art collectively, as paintings, sculptures, or drawings: a museum of art; an art collection.
