Comment Dealing with this mess... (Score 5, Interesting) 473

We had to deal with this mess today, running around to PCs and flat-out shutting them off. One user that I came across clicked on the link because he "verified that it was from someone in the office." His Outlook outbox had over 34,000 emails ready to send. Quite a mess and we're still cleaning it up. I thought we had learned our lesson with the "I Love You" virus. What's worse is that the spam filter, IPS, Windows firewall, antivirus, and web proxy all failed to stop the attack.

But what are they providing exactly? Hosting the game servers I can see. Costumes for your character? Yawn. Maps? They've only release one new map (Riverside Rush) that I can remember. BFH isn't like WoW. Your character doesn't participate in an epic war that spans multiple gaming sessions. Your character participates in round based capture the flag games.

The solution is simple: don't buy a PSP Go. There really aren't any technical reasons to buy a Go. The screen is smaller, it's harder to hold on to, the buttons are closer together, it has a mechanical slide that can fail, and it's more expensive. Not to mention that you can download and play games from PSN on a standard PSP.

I think you really hit the nail on the head here. There is a pretty big market for reselling used games. With the PSP Go, not only are you restricted from reselling your used games but you are also locked into purchasing them from Sony's download service.

Ars Technica published an excellent review on the PSP Go and why you should just stick with the standard PSP 3000.
