I didnt have that problem... But then again I never put credit card info on my PS3, so I didn't matter to me either way. I've had both x-box and ps... PS is by far better.

Uh, if you used your PS3 at all from late April through... well, through quite a while, you definitely experienced it. The online was down, and even if you didn't enter your CC info your account info (username, email address, and password) were likely taken. It was a pretty big deal, actually. Either way, the PS3's problem with online is simply a relatively small userbase.

Either way, I don't like consoles. Only reason I got PS3 was for the bluray player and a couple exclusives.

It's not even that my PC is leagues better at gaming than the PS3, it's that everytime I turn the damn PS3 on I have to sit through some update or another. It's especially aggrevating when all I want to do is use the Netflix

How much of that memory did you get before RAM prices plummeted this year?

Online was down for a LONG time and inside the NHL 2k12 game the HUT games would not allow you to accumlate pucks.

I agree, but that was a team wide issue.. and something Andy should have handled.

Making Juan coordinator was a mistake.. I can agree with that.. but having a revolving door for d-coordinators is a bigger one..

Non-sense... i'm sure the janitor is great at reading offenses and can put a decent defense on the field...

At least i hope so, cause i think he just interviewed for the job!

I find the goaltending in the newest NHL game to be a complete joke...

Why is it when i pass the puck from one side of the ice to the other... the goalie does a split before the puck even makes it to the other player?

I laugh everytime i score cause their goalie did that... i just skate right in and score.

They threw several combinations at the Isles top line last night, none of which worked.

But generally, I agree with you. The Flyers don't have a center they can rely on to routinely keep other team's top players in check.

Paging Mike Richards.

Couturier sure seems like he could eventually fill that role, and despite the fact that he's 19, he may be the best we have for that role right now. He's got the size, and if he fills out a little he should be plenty big enough. And he's already shown he has the hockey IQ for it. He would need to get off of the 4th line though before he could used as a defensive shut down match-up.

Still loving what I see from Brayden Schenn.

He's made a bunch of rookie mistakes, but he's come so close on so many scoring opportunities. He's going to be a beauty.

- bradleyc4


He and Couturier (and of course Grioux) are shaping up to be a really nice 1-2-3 center combo for (hopefully) a long, long time in orange and black.
