Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Feb 08, 2011 5:00am PSTAccording to TVLine.com, Super Bowl XLV was the highest rated event in the sport's history. Based on ratings data the big game tackled 111 million viewers, besting last year's game by 4.5 million sports fans.
The numbers are certainly deserved since XLV was one of the more exciting championship games I've seen in a very long time--in any sport. The outcome wasn't what I expected but it was entertaining from top to bottom.
Actually, there was a terrible bit in the middle where my television started flickering and the sound started to break apart. No matter how hard I hit my television it just wouldn't right itself and, in some spots, started to get so bad I thought my TV was going to break. But then the Black Eyed Peas got off the stage and everything was cool again.

Anti-piracy efforts from MS and Sony will bring on the next generation of console hardware before developers are looking for updated hardware. Sony is essentially screwed at this point, and what really sucks is I doubt their next system will be backwards compatible. How can they let you play potentially compromised games on their next system without potentially compromising that system as well?
I dunno, its a bummer when stuff like this affects the consumer. I understand the point GeoHotz (or whatever his fucking name is) was trying to make about the Install Other OS option on the PS3, but he sorta ruined it for everyone else when he hacked the console and we'll all pay the price with some sort of serial number, locked number of activations, etc BS with the rest of their games for PS3 and whatever comes next.

As for my opinion on fail0verflow, I'm happy that they have done this purely from a hacking experience. Breaking a hardware encryption system like this is awesome research work and made for a great presentation. Plus I love homebrew/independent type games though I am quite certain most of them will never touch the PS3 because of how badly designed the architecture is. There's just no reason to touch the PS3 if you're Indy.
It would have been best if you posted this at the header instead of dropping a NOW DISCUSS at the end of your post. That's what I was looking for. What did you want discussed? Now I know and I have gotten to reply.
