So…..I can pay $2 for this……or I can just stream it from GT using my PS3 browser…for free.

Hmm. That’s a tough one. Let me think about that.

@Katie Reid
I think you guys are going about this wrong, there is no incentive to buy these episodes when they can be legally had for free.
We already have QORE which is a much better product and essentially Sony centric, Sony could even be shooting themselves in the foot when GTTV starts showing off titles exclusive to the other platforms.
People should all know as well that Geoff Keighley;s bias is rampant and he constantly pushes the boundaries of “respectable” journalism for ratings.

I guess that the PlayStation Video Store version of the show doesn’t have ads at the start, and in between some of its chapters…That’s probably the reason that Sony charge to watch it.
If it’s in SD only on there, though, then that does seem like a bad deal, and, not even the “paying for convenience” argument holds up very well, in that case.

I’ve been watching GTTV for a while now, because they give exclusives almost every episode, it’s all in HD, and the show smartly doesn’t try to cram in lots of little items into one ep, but it has one feature title for which the coverage is nicely fleshed out, and you can see lots about it, and then there’s bonus new trailers and maybe a gaming community item, too. It’s definitely good value!

On inFamous, though:
I really like the visual style in the game, and cutscenes. The former brings to mind a Marvel comic brought to life! Plausibly dark.

The trailer with the girl abstractly describing Cole, as if he were a mysterious revered (or reviled) legendary figure in this broken city, really worked well. Hopefully the game will do a good, seamless job of illustrating ho citizens feel about Cole.

The first boss shown, Sasha, I’m a little unsure about the boss battle they offered a glimpse at, but the character looks like she will have an interesting part to play towards enriching the narrative of the game.
Just exploring the areas looks like incredibly good fun, with Cole’s exaggerated, enhanced movements and climbing prowess, making travel seem like it will be enjoyable, rather than a chore.

First time I watched this show. It will be the last time know matter what is on it. It’s format is terrible. I think I saw the host in the men’s bathroom of LAX paying for a BJ.

Sicko, know wonder why it’s on at 1AM.

Yeah, this is so mind boggling! Why on earth pay for something that’s 1. free on their website, 2. free on tv, 3. and free watching online on your tv through the ps3 browser?
