$150 for a refurbished 360? why would anyone PAY $150 to put themselves in the RROD loop? at least if you buy a new one you have a CHANCE of getting a good 360, this is not a "deal"

wow, i usually put up with/ignore pp's stupid rants but

those remarks were pretty offensive towards gay people, and anyone who isnt a homophobe.

disagree, -bubbles, AND reported.

that was probably the most blatantly biased "articles" that ive read on n4g in the past two weeks. this should not have been approved.

regardless of what the article says, its still a ms rep, and there are no number to support what he is saying, so every can and probably will assume that hes just spewing ms pr garbage.

honestly, to say that 360 is dominating in europe is a pretty outrageous claim, i think we can all agree. is 360 is dominating in the us, AND in europe, how do you explain the ps3 closing the install base gap? are they selling to africa in secret? rediculous.

its sad that you assume that the writer of this article is a ps3 fanboy, because, what if he isnt? why do you assume that EVERY single negative article is written by a ps3 fanboy? equally as stupid is when ps3 fanboys claim that ms pays off all its reviewers.

but the point is, look at the site. its not just some blog that someone made up to try and slander the 360 name. its a legitimate xbox360 site, with a legitimate xbox team, who so happens to be posting problems they see o...

i mean, it may not be INCREDIBLY reliable information, but hiphopgamer and thebitbag guys have supposedly "confirmed" that splintercell is going multiplat, and although they are no ign, they DO have more contacts in the industry than the average gamer so id say that its definitely plausible, if not probable.

im a sony fan, but i hate fanboys

that being said, im still pulling for sony, but realistically, i dont think that it will win this gen, either. we are in the...7th gen of consoles i believe? correct me if im wrong. but say we are, id say that xbox is the console of now, the current gen, by the public perception. the problem is that sony was trying to be too ambitious. they were shooting for generation 7.5, and hoping that everyone would catch on, making them look like gener...

ok fanboyism aside, that sucks for the xbox community. i just find it funny that a lotta xbox fanboys on this side are trying to say that the sony fanboys are spinning this, when the source is an xbox site. just something i found amusing.

i agree killzone should be the hands down most anticipated game for 09, but this article didnt really list them in order of which they were excited about, to be fair. however, i think they should have made a bigger deal about killzone, its THE game that everyone cant stop talking about.

kudos to sony for making a contest with a decent dlc prize.

18.5m is pennies compared to what it cost ms to replace rrod'd xboxs.

that being said, all the fanboy trolls need to shut the hell up, its really getting irritating.

i get where your coming from

but my guess would be that these media giants dont want to "copy" each other, or at least get caught copying. plus i think sony was banking on people using the blutooth headsets that they already had for their phones for their ps3s, but grossly overestimated how many people actually have blutooth headsets.

anyways, i suspect sony is looking for home to help serve as a hub of pre-game congregation, sort of like how in mmorpgs ...

totally agreed. weird how you get disagrees, but no one comments on it.

didnt ign say that it was impossible to let the movie buffer? so if you have a slower connection, it just downgrades the video quality until it is able to stream without having to let it buffer for 45 mins? just a thought. not sure how hd streaming is going to work without it allow you to let the video buffer for a while.

thor your missing the point

i said this in the open zone to palin, but here it goes again...

home, at least from what i understand, does not try and emulate the goals of facebook, myspace, or secondlife. you are right, in that these social networking mediums have the draw in that they try and connect like minded people. facebook and myspace try to keep real life friends connected, and secondlife tries to connect people in a alternate universe. n4g tries to connect...

i think palin is missing the whole point

the point is not to try and emulate 2nd life, or other social networks. they probably do a better socially networking in real life situations, ie facebook or myspace. or they may be able to immerse you in a completely different universe, ie second life.

but home does not, in my opinion, aim to emulate those objectives. the importance, and idea behind home, is to socially network people who are playing video games, just like...

fallout...

i cant make up my mind about this game. ive also put about 30 hours into it, and do like the story, depth and scope of this game. its fun, no doubt.

but a part of me is saddened when comparing this game to the first two. they really have simplified the game mechanics, doing away with armor class, different types of armor piercing ammo, dodging, aimed shots with melee weapons, as well as simplifying the perk and skill systems. i miss a lot of these from...

geow NOT goty, you should change the heading of EVERY SINGLE post of yours, pp

6349d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

price cut, maybe?

i dont really know but thats what people before me have said. if so i suppose this makes sense. plus, last remnant is coming out soon.

6349d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

lol why does pp title every one of his posts

"GEOW2 AAA XBOX EXCLUSIVE GOTY"

or something like that, when it has zero relevance to the article. personally, i dont think geow has even the slightest shot at goty, but im sure many xbox fans would disagree.

anyways, stop trying to sneak in gears advertisements into your posts, pp, and stay on topic. im sure microsoft isnt paying you anything, so you can spare the rest of us sane people the grief ...
