Even more on Super Street Fighter 4: - Okay, Ken didn't get completely screwed after all. His Shoryuken is much better than before, and nothing beats the poking range of his jumping roundhouse kick (for guys without uppercuts/anti-airs). - M.Bison is my new favorite character, and I've picked him as my main now. I love all the options he has and how there's more variety to playing him than the usual shotos. - Ryu and Sagat seem to feel like the same characters but with far less damaging attacks. Then again, the whole cast's damage was decreased, so matches last very long now. - Online is probably 75% good, 25% bad. The 25% being that you will still get those matches that lag horribly, regardless of region select. But yeah, the netcode is still better than vanilla SF4. - What happened to all that storyline stuff they set up in vanilla SF4? It's as if they never happened. Too bad Capcom doesn't want to take too many risks with the storylines for their main charact...

More rumors about the PS3 Slim that was in the Youtube video: http://www.examiner.com/x-12218-Providence-Video-Game-Examiner~y2009m7d12-PS3-Slim-video-and-new-image - The store supposedly had 2 PS3 Slim units. - The PS3 Slim units were NOT packed in boxes (they were sold 'as is', as shown in the video) - The PS3 Slim came with Playstation 3 accessories (cables) and 1 Dualshock 3 controller. - The store claimed they tested it with Unreal Tournament 3 - It has a 120 GB hard drive. - Both units have already been sold....rumors placed the price between PHP 12,000 ($250) to PHP 20,000+ (US$417) - We have some idea where this store is; yes, it is in Greenhills, San Juan.

According to this post from Kotaku (and this video from Youtube), the PS3 slim was spotted in the Philippines. http://kotaku.com/5317605/yes-i-know-about-the-damn-ps3-slim-video-[update ] The video: What do I think? I don't know if it's fake. I do find it sad that Kotaku takes every opportunity to portray our country as piracy heaven. I'd like to say that there are gamers here in the Philippines who do buy original products and original console games. The piracy issue is a real problem here, but there are gamers (like myself) who think that, if the hardware makers sold their products officially here, then maybe piracy could be discouraged. This is because having official presence here in the country would give gamers incentives to support buying original games and hardware. For example, if Xbox Live had a region for the Philippines, then people would have an incentive to actually support the original product(s) instead of buy the pirated versions of games. This is because t...
