Comment Re:Time to buy a Playstation 3? (Score 1) 78

Sony releases games, or remakes of games with better graphics and extended crap, for the PSP only. Why would I want a PSP if I have a PlayStation 2 or 3, just to play only one or two games that would have worked just as well on the console? Final Fantasy XIII is the only game on the PlayStation 3 I think would be worth playing, but I think hardly anyone would shell out $430 just for that.

The PlayStation 2 was by far the most popular console of the previous generation. When switch to another brand when buying a console from the current generation, like an Xbox 360 or a Wii, you get access to Xbox and Gamecube games because of backward compatibility, so it's like the game libraries are twice as large. This makes the PlayStation 3 library look even more minuscule by comparison.

Rather than get a PlayStation 3 to play FFXIII and whatever else is out there, I would just wait until 2019 when the PlayStation 4 or whatever they call it has been out for a few years and its price has dropped.

Submission + - Spookfish uses mirrors for eyes (bbc.co.uk)

Kligat writes: The brownsnout spookfish in the Pacific is the first known vertebrate to use mirrors to focus light into its eyes. Despite being a species known for 120 years, this was not known until a live specimen was caught between New Zealand and Samoa last year. The fish lives over 1,000 meters below the ocean's surface, so the light focused by the mirrors' perfectly curved surfaces provides a major advantage over other fish.

I didn't see a category for biology or general science, so I submitted this to "upgrades" because the fish has better hardware? Sorry.
