moving on up... to the east side...
O.k.... I didn't really think that this was a big deal, but I guess it was pretty cool.
For 2008, I'm betting that either Metal Gear Solid 4 or GTA4 will be game of the year.
Congrats guys, way to go!
Tute your own horn. :P
It was just a matter of time, PSU actually cares about the members and interacts with them! For instance, Theme of the Week, Member Spotlight, etc. Keep that up, and don't let your celebrity status get to your heads.
w00t. Go Us!
nicee nicee koo to see that up in the air
psn id J08hawks
Hmm, I would have thought they would contact you about something like that. I've been seeing it on the CoD4 commercial for a few weeks.
some day PSU will be bigger that gamespot mark my words
Aol Gamedaily? MSNBC.com? Gamespot? Anyone notice somethin about that. GAMESPOT's the only big one of those three. Now if Playstation Universe was in a commercial with the likes of Game Informer, than things would be different. And was it really neccesary to go to all this trouble just to show that your name was in a commercial for about 2 seconds? And it says '' You know you've made it big '' . This whole editorial is just horribly written. And Im not talking about the grammar, I'm talking about the contents; it just sounds so juvenile. And Im a big fan of psu don't get me wrong, but I just really don't like this article.
awesome
why the fudge is MSNBC on a game comercial? they cant tell COD4 apart from tetris!
And to think that the site was that well known... If someone would have told me this when I first found this place almost 3 years ago, I would have laughed.
Like the first guy said, "Movin on up... to the east side..."
Awesome! I have minor gripes with PSU here and there but I LOVE the site regardless. Like it was said before, you guys really show that you care for your members. This is the first site I go to everyday when I get online. Keep up the awesome work guys!
Thanks for the positive comments everyone. We put in all this hard work for YOU, the reader.
This is a great website. You guys have all the playstation news and rumors all in one place. Keep up the good work
way to GO for all of us here...congratz US!!!
Well done PSU, you guys Rock!!!
hey congrats
Congratulations PSU.
congrats psu, don't listen to all the haters, it's hard to make a website, let alone get that sort of recognition.
Woop woop :D
Good Job PSU. Just don't sell out to advertisers now that you've had a taste of the "big time" like Gamespot did. This is a quote from the movie Almost Famous about reviewing music (in your case, video games)....
"You have to make your reputation on being HONEST....and UNMERCIFUL."
--Lester Bangs
Hehe nice!
It would be nice if metacritic took the site serious enough to post its dark sector review. I agree with the psu review and it would be the highest on the site..
Congrats!!! You deserve it! Through hard work and dedication we all get some prestige along the road. I´m happy that I´m part of this community and that this community made its name in a AAA title like this. Dont be bothered by people o try and cover the glow of this with remarks like ´´Its not a big deal`` and stuff like that. People either like it or not, its their choice!!! But the name PLAYSTATION UNIVERSE is there! Like or not! Be cool.
Well said DaveW!!! this is awesome. congrats psu. good to see some recognition for all the years put in
Congratz PSU! You are moving up! Lets not forget poor ol us now! LOL :-b
woot thats awesome lol
at least this shows that were not the only ones that know that PSU exists, frankly this is the only site I go on to get my daily PS3 info!
Me as well. Thanks PSU.com !!
I've been keeping tabs on this site since before it became PSU and I've always loved it. Granted, I only signed up after its transition to PSU but thats a different story altogether. Regardless, I'm glad to see a site I respect and admire gain recognition, even if it is for like, 2 secs. Congrats to you guys!
wooo he!! yeh
Yeah, congratulations guys.
Although to some it may not seem that big a deal, when it all comes down to it, it probably is coz it shows that PSU is being recognised (and rightly so) so you should be very proud guys and im very thankful that this site exists.
Saw this earlier but didn't have time to post.
Although it's not terribly long ago i registered and started posting, i've been moderately checking up on the site regarding various playstation news since way before it became PSU. I remember when you had all of those mock shots of the ps3 (or rather how people imagined it would look like)
All in all.. Congratulations.. It takes hard work to get this far.. now that you have reached this level, by continuing the hard work, i'm sure the site will become more mainstream and widely accepted (for instance by metacritic) Afterall.. this shows that developers have already started to :)
the PSU awsome show.... great job!
That's awesome. They could have picked any website for that commercial, and they picked PSU. I mean, it wasn't even an XBOX fansite. That's great! I like DaveW's response to the member up there. It's more thought out and well typed than a lot of articles on this website. You should be their all-time poster. (or at least aditor if you aren't already)
It should've said *.com* and get you more peoples, but other then that... CONGRATS!
congrats psu!!
go us!! lol
psn id: gingo.... NICE, congratz psu, keep up the good work
Cool for you guys. I like the fact that this site may not be the first for news but it always gets here.
Anyhow, good stuff and keep it up.
@gingo
Wow you'te usually one of the first ten commenters
Anyway congrats PSU for all your hard work and hope to see you in a few more commercials.
Congrats on the major promo :)
Great job you guys!!! I have been around since PS3 Land, and signed up before your site was even finished, I'm still coming to this site first thing in the morning for my PS3 news. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Congratulations! Well deserved, even if it was only for about two seconds.
Congrats! PSU are now accepted as a major gaming site;)
I'd like to congratualte everyone at PSU, the site actually has good news, and focuses on the formats i play on, instead of other sites (*cough* IGN) who seem to focus on other platforms. Valid news stories, consideration of members + good reviews(not getting paid to give a good one)
all this adds up to a awesome website!
thanks
Right on!! Keep up the good work!
well done psu staff(u hators suck it)
yayy lets go PSU
we were mentioned before MSNBC! YEAH!
Very nice, I'm glad to see that the sites getting credit, its the only video game site I go to other the Gametrailers, definatly the best place for PS info, thanks for a great site guys I can only hope it gets bigger.
Woot for PSU
Well done PSU team, and thank you also for giving us recognition in the community!
What's next? Where will the next level take us?? :)
Keep it up...and up.
Sweet, PSU is up to par with the other gaming sites. Gamespy is owned by IGN, so gamespot isnt the only big site listed in the commercial.
lol you guys are really tuting your own horn a little bit. Seriously congrats guys but you were up there for a second maybe...
one step closer to world domination
Congratulations!!!! Your site rocks!!!
Congratulations guys. Long time in the making. Before this site went online I followed PS3Portal and PS3World and when they combined to make one site I knew it would be epic. Then it came online and it was and I've been coming here since (although I only became a member a month ago (I've got dial-up)) for all my PS2/3 info. And now finally some respect from the dev world for the most dedicated Playstation infomation providers.
Good job guys.
I for one think this is a big deal despite what people like Perezstation have to say. It's great to see that PSU is being recognized even if it is only for " Two Seconds" Great job, guys! I wish you all the best and hope one day soon PSU is seen on the same level as sites like IGN and Gamespot.
