"Game Updates"

One thing sony should start thinking about is the ability to have games that can be updated using the Internet. With the introduction of the hard disk updates could be downloaded of the net then stored on the hard disk( or memory cards). Then when you load the game it checks( just like loading a saved game from a memory card) if there are updates to load. just imagine new tracks to play. Extra levles, more characters, fixed bugs. It would be the start of "complete" games. You could download new characters for WWF games, extra weapons/levels/ enemies for games like metal gear solid.

This is just an idea but hopefully it will become reality. Let me know what you think.

Nope, becaus eit is a back door for allowing games companies to start patching console games!!! I will never agree to such a filthy business, and the WWF should be banned there, hah!!

What do you mean by patching console games??? And where should the WWf be banned??

In this country for a start

yeah true,producers tend to be that tiny bit lazier with pc games because any bugs or problems found can be updated later.but on the other hand it'll kick butt downloading new patches for games and 40gigs worth oh WOW.

Patches are special add ons that are used to fix bugs on PC games.

And as far as I know Aliboy, when the internet is available for PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, it will be possible to download extra levels and cheats. I am not sure about fixing bugs though.

The WWF should be banned because kids your age should spend all the money you do on merchandising on charities which prevent kids your age dying from starvation in Africa, Bonus has spoken!!

Sod that, we've enough problems with our own kids/youth - sort them out first!

I think game makers are slacker with PC games because they can just patch it but some of the bugs are just blatantly obvious its just irritating.

Like Black and White, for example!!
