PSN servers tonite got new TOS..... also connection is super-slow.. take ages friendlist to load

surprisingly it popped up new TOS .... anyway streamyx is making prob in my area

in the light of the event of PSN's going offline, I couldn't help to notice Portal 2's feature, a built in Steam in the console's already existing online platform, PSN. this feature is absent with Xbox 360's version of the game. I suspect PSN  is having a major problem with this integration but since Sony is desperate for some Valve lovin'.. (not easy to get Gabe himself to talk about the game on Sony's stage) Sony needs to desperately make this work for Valve. Another guess is this is just a beta or some sort, of integrating Steam on PSN, not just for Portal 2, but for everything, somthing like an additional service if you may, ala HULU or Netflick....

my 0.02

a beta u said.. they can make money out of it bro..
the idea of cross platforming like portal is damn cool.. but..
ni musti ada udang disebalik batoo ni.. 
soon only to PSN+ users..

@zal
naise sos!
my troll mission phailed..

thanks buddy, that certainly holds some ground over my Steam theory

However I pity those DCUO gamers over this downtime. According to PSN toc, Sony is not liable to anything on events like this, so those who thinks Sony will give somthing free to compensate the downtime please stop hoping.

Hey there bros,I have some questions on the PS3's hardware capability,would be awesome if you guys could answer it,thanks!
First,is PS3 capable of playing DVD? Examples here are the ones that are bought from Speedy(you know,original ones),and the ones that are bought from the 'pasar malam'(ahem ahem). Which would fare better? With logic thinking,would probably say the Speedy ones.

Second,will the lens of the PS3 reader deteriorate faster if used to play DVDs?
Thanks guys!

actually the pirated dvd on sale on most ah beng's shop hv much lower res la...they usually burn less in video quality to go for the much faster burning speed for mass producing. ori dvd hv a significant much more pic quality that when u upscale it u can get a nice pseudo HD where as on the much lower quality pirated disc u get a vcd like quality when u try to upscale it.

unless of course if u mean a 1:1 copy of the original on the pirated disc then that is of course the same la.
