PS3 movies are for USA only

Rant Poor Brits wait for crumbs from US table yet again
Wednesday, 16 July 2008, 17:48

WE USED TO RUN THE WORLD once upon a time, you know. Now we have to drag along on Uncle Sam's coat tails waiting to be let into all of the exclusive little clubs the membership list of which is controlled by the most powerful nation on Earth.

We were so excited when we heard that we'd be able to download loads of second-rate movies to our games consoles that we immediately rushed off and booted up old Darth Vader's Toaster.

Imagine the thrill of anticipation as we downloaded the system update. And then installed the system update. And then rebooted.

And imagine our disappointment when we discovered that we hadn't been invited to the PS3 Video On Demand party. We wouldn't mind so much but Sony is a Japanese company. Why are they letting that lot in but not us?

And it's not just the indignity of being left out in the cold. They won't even tell us when we will be allowed in.

Don't they know who we are? ยต

You Brits Will Always Get Seconds!

HA! LOL! Yes, the crumbs! We'll be sure to save you all some "BIG CRUMBS" this time. 

We Americans love you Brittys and will fight along side of you any day! However, you guys will just have to wait and lick our plates when it comes to eating! LOL

The American Dude!

firmware update bug :O(


nawwwwwww its ok peeps, theres been a bug reported in the final ps3DROID firmware update thats been ported from Apple's iDROID application :O)

funny thing is RC3 worked fine on the WiiDROID system, its technical, its something to do with anomolies in the 'take your eyes out' protocol (TYEOP), its the multipliers that pump the 'rip off rate' (ROR) thats unstable. 

Apple reckon they want it to be right before going gold with the final firmware updates for the ps3DROIDS and xbo360DROIDS as it wouldnt be fair to rip off some DROIDS more than others, they dont want to be accused of discrimination by the lesser ripped off DROIDS, sounds sensible to me :O)

I Feel Your Pain

Shorely there must be some bleebs in a barrister somewhere honking it, and I couldn't lend you a DIME's initiative as to how that worked; but I suspects: Not Too Good. Prolly now in arrested developement. 
We, as a subspecies, habit a working girl to kill about this notion: "For British Eyes Only" (No, reality). 
I no specifically a Eecumenical or Eurosceptical being just a dot life Anglophile; yet I truly lament the Blighty of programming which is all too handily exported henceward the old-world hinterland, yet neve seas the light of dey on my 10000 BC teaming shores. Go dither?! Now they tell that if you drop a bikki on the floor, if you recover in 5 seconds, then theres no hop on from germs. We're only separated expresly by straight talk. Where's the notion that all drama and sitcom must come repackaged in a Tamper-evident condom? Larry knows his package will outlast mine! Why can't you get your bits and bobs from Larry the cable guy? Larry knows! I should get pissed I should! Apparently Auntie won't speak to Uncle Sam, unless there's an holy mediator to do Immaculate Conception! I should not really click Submit Comment now, but I done copywrit.
