Bid on Items From Playstation “Greatness” Commercial
Playstation had a big hit with their “Greatness” commercial but it didn’t happen overnight. Many hours were spent custom building just about everything you see on screen. So it would be kind of waste to just store it all away right?
Well apparently Sony was thinking the same thing when they created the site Bid For Greatness which will allow players to bid on items from the commercial. All of these items are unique hand-made and well crafted items that took hours to make, so naturally they will be expensive right? Wrong, what makes this even better is that you will be bidding on each item using trophies that your earn on Playstation. This makes perfect sense to me, the more you game, the more you get. Even if your not a Playstation fan you can still appreciate the loot, besides I’m sure we will see them popping up on eBay.
Deus Ex: The Fall Doesn’t Like Jailbreaking
Square Enix has apparently decided that jailbroken phones are a no-go. According to a Reddit post, Deus Ex: The Fall doesn’t allow players with jailbroken phones to fire their weapon. It’s likely that the developers are trying to prevent software piracy, which usually happens on jailbroken devices. The biggest issue here is likely going to be with those players who do not use pirated software and have other reasons for jailbreaking their phones.
Given Apple’s willingness lately to open up iOS a bit more to developers, we can only hope that jailbreaking becomes less necessary for some users. I’ll be keeping tabs on this block to see if people actually find a work-around, otherwise you’ll have to have a fresh, un-jailbroken version of iOS installed to play this game.
