PS3 Fanboy Banner

A site that a frequent religiously, PS3 Fanboy is a great site for PS3 news not easily found elsewhere. Their site however, is well... Ugly as **** Compared to other fanboy sites within the same network, like say the xbox 360 fanboy's site, it looks like crap. I made a banner for them, not officially (although I will e-mail them my idea, maybe I can inspire them to get their act together).

Here is my banner idea.

What do you think?

My Metal Gear Solid 4 Box Art

Earlier today I posted what I dumbly thought was a Legit Box design for Metal Gear Solid 4. This was before I noticed some things that blatently pointed it out as a fake, which I feel dumb for missing. Here is that post.

Well I decided to open photoshop and give it a shot myself. Here is my rendition:

Metal Gear Solid 4 box art

Came upon this doing a Google search for "MGS4 pics" for one of my online profiles.

Metal Gear Solid 4 Box Art

Haven't seen it anywhere else. I like it, could be better (although I'm sure this isn't the final one, if its real at all.

Here is where I found it.

What do you think?

*Edits*, I just realized the "Dark Master Design's" under the Title. Still, pretty good looking box art.

I Fell Asleep Watching MLS

Ronoldinho jar jar

...I'm not kidding. Sad.

I love Football, so much I prefer the word Football over Soccer, and I live in the US. I live it; it's in my heart and my soul. Yet I fell asleep watching the Columbus Crew play FC Dallas. Why? I've seen Women's College Football games more intense and exciting than this mockery of the game. Granted, some MLS games are fun to watch, barely.

All of our Football stars went overseas. Clint Dempsey went to Fulham in the English Premier League and Freddy Adu went to Benifica. MLS needs to be more competitive when it comes to fronting the cash to keep our stars. Don't let Josey Altidore slip away, please!!! We no doubt have enough sponsors coming aboard, thanks to Beckham, which I won't get started on that whole debacle. We don't need Rooney, Henry or Ronoldinho (a.k.a. Jar Jar Binks) in our league. We need home grown talent! We need more youth camps, more urban football programs, and better established youth leagues. A.Y.S.O. is a joke; a fascist youth association ran by evil "soccer moms", where teams are stacked beyond belief!

Another thing, the pitches in which MLS is played on, are the worst example of a field. Granted, their getting better, but slowly. The Red Bulls are getting their own stadium, and I hear it's going to be beautiful! MLS can be so much better; someone needs to make it so. That someone needs to go to Europe & South America (or anywhere BUT the US), and do some research on why Football is the sport of the World. After a year or two abroad researching, they need to come back and implement what they learned into the MLS. Our leagues don't need to be like any other league, keep it American, but start developing the drive and the passion for the sport.

I want to see Arsenal come play any MLS club, show how football should be played!

System War: Best Bang for your Buck

I keep getting into arguments with my friends on the Xbox 360 vs the PS3, this crap's never going to end lol. Good fun I guess. The latest argument was what was best for your money... I did minor research, here it is.

PS3 - 60GB model. - $499.99

Xbox 360 - Elite model - $449.99

Price difference: $50 to the Xbox 360

Main difference between the two is a Hi-definition capable drive. The PS3 has a Blu-Ray drive, the Xbox 360 has... nothing. So lets fix that.

PS3 - 60GB model - $499.99

Xbox 360 - Elite model + HD-DVD Drive - $629.98

Price difference: $140.99 to the PS3

Another difference between these two Next-Generation concoles is integrated Wifi. So lets add that on as well.

PS3 - 60GB model - $499.99

Xbox 360 - Elite model + HD-DVD Drive + Wireless Network Adapter - $729.97

Price difference - $229.98 to the PS3

Another difference is the internal hard-drive. The Xbox Elite has the PS3 beat on all fronts here, it comes with a 120GB HDD to the PS3s 60GB. BUT! This can be fixed by the PS3s easy HDD replacement process. So lets add a Western Digital 120GB drive.

PS3 - 60GB model + WD 120GB drive - $569.98

Xbox 360 Elite model + HD-DVD Drive + Wireless Network Adapter - $729.97

Price difference - $159.99 to the PS3

I could go into the whole online thing as well, adding on the price of Xbox live for a whole year, which would total $49.99, but with the Elite model, you get Xbox Live Silver service FREE, plus 30 days of Gold Service FREE. I'm honestly not sure what that would total in the end. But the PS3's online service is FREE, it may suck compared to the Xbox 360's, but its free, which might be why it sucks lol. The Xbox 360 spanks the PS3 when you compare games out, and the community.

For the Price to make the Xbox 360 level with the PS3 might sway people to get a PS3, in the end its all up to personal taste. A lot of people don't think about what you get with the PS3, like I've said before, its too early to tell, the PS3 is still considered new, so time will tell. In the end, its the gamers that benefit from this!
