Sony Says: "Welcome To The PlayStation Nation"
PS3 SlimSo the NPD numbers are in for September and thanks to that long-awaited price cut for the PlayStation 3 and the introduction of the newer, slimmer model, Sony's machine led the pack.
And with the likes of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and the PSP Go freshly releasing in October, Sony wants to drive the point home that there has never been a better time to be a member of "PlayStation Nation." We saw it in a press release e-mail and Jack Tretton repeated that release for everyone at the PlayStation Blog, and he makes a strong case for the brand he handles. The PS3 sold nearly a half-million units last month, he further mentions the impending 250GB PS3 Slim (set to release on November 3), and in addition to the aforementioned Naughty Dog gem, he reminds us that more is on the way in the forms of Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, God of War III, MAG, ModNation Racers and - we'll add another one - Gran Turismo 5. The PSP go allowed "top retail partners" to experience a 300% lift in overall PSP hardware sales, and the PlayStation Network has been on fire lately; the month included the single largest number of downloads ever for a one-week period. And let's not forget about the God of War Collection, which is now slated to ship on November 17 and will bring with it a playable demo of GoWIII (the one that wowed the crowd at E3 this year).
Yes, it's tough to deny that Sony has the edge going into this holiday season and if you're not yet a PS3 or PSP owner, now is definitely the time to take the plunge.

first off the games have both already been previously released and they both have proved there worth!
Second yes they have been revamped as you will, and are going to be even better than in original form thanks to hd, but agian why should they (GOW 1,2) be competing with MW2?
if it did get delayed, which i dont know, o-well, and if its only by a week an even bigger o-well! gives me a chance to play MW2 a lil' before setting it aside to play thorugh GOW 1, and 2 again, then trying out that fantistic looking demo for GOW 3!

Makes for much easier reading of long comments. Check out some of my previous comments, all separated paragraphs, and even though they are long, they are still readable.
Just a tip for next time.

now thats impressive, no one uses that any more.
because its IMPOSSIBLE! to debug.
writing some of the programs i do, being only 20 or so lines long is impossible to debug using assembly, these guys are doing whole games.
holy sh*t ive got a new founded respect for you guys.
i seriously can not believe they did that.
i knew ND were dedicated in making all there games perfect but wow, just wow thats completley going to the extreme.
goes to show how skillful there programmers are.
1 mistake, 1 syntax error would take months to fix.
only if more developers were that committed to there games, im 100% sure NO developer would do that today.
better get that resume ready.

havent used assebmbly before, i really want to but TAFE no longer teaches it, no one does.
hell TAFE dont teach C or C++ any more, if you enroll for a programming class they put you in C# or java.
there your 2 choices, which is kinda pointless because C# is part C++ part java
