Comparing the two is retarded. Not even close to the same game type and it will be far less repetitive w/ far fewer glitches. Unlike some companies these guys don't put out half assed games.
After the 360 gets to the 25-35 Million consoles sold range. If the 360 can keep the pace they have set kudos to them, but their last console saturated the market at that point as the PS2 sold over 4 times as many. A simple reason that gets overlooked (besides how cheap it became) was that it was a game machine AND had a built in DVD player. It was great for the bedroom and many friends of mine got one once it was cheap just to have both options in their room. The PS3 can do the same w/ t...
It was the same feeling I got when I first played MGS and RE2 on PS1. When I was playing I kept saying 'wow' and I felt 'if this is where games are going, I'm in'. Best overall game I played this year. Wish there were more action games in production. I'm sick of FPS's.
And what have you done w/ your achievements that you have had for 2 years? Achievements are dumb if there is no reason to get them and a score is not a good enough reason. I actually hate Live for achievements. I think it's dumb and anyone that knows my Live ID can go in and see exactly what games I've played and what I've done in each game. Did they ever think I don't want anyone to look at that? I really don't like being called a 'noob' because my achievement score is low. Hopefully t...
That we even see Halo 4 in the next 2 years. I'd say that's slim to none. The devs have said that they are not working on it and don't even have a story for it yet.
RE2 would be even better
I just click on download, it asks if you're sure and gives the cost, then it DL's and I get charged on my card. Works seamlessly for me.
Avg lifespan of the RROD 360's was about 50 weeks. So if no one is bringing in a RROD 360 in Aug-Sept, 'then' I'll be confident that it is corrected.
How long was Gears? How about Halo? Bioshock? Also, you've obviously never played Uncharted all the way through as it took me 10-12 hrs the first time. Then you compare game times to Mass Effect, a fu(king RPG! Why don't you compare that to Folklore which has better graphics and longer gameplay.
90% multiplats are better on 360? LOL. Take EA out of the picture then how many are better? COD4, nope. AC, nope. Maybe Oblivion? Oh yeah, better on the PS3. Can you actuall...
And like I said in an earlier post, the 360 has a major hurdle in the 25-35 million mark. They have never sold that many consoles before, and the last one saturated the market at that point. I will be extremely impressed if they can keep everything going past that point, but selling it as a 'games only' machine it is going to be hard to crack into the home media market like the PS3 or the casual mom & pop market like the Wii. Don't think for a minute that having a built in DVD player i...
I've never replaced a DVD and I'm not about to replace my DVD collection w/ older Hi Def movies not even filmed digitally. However, new movies that would look better in Hi Def (300, Apocolypto, Bourne...) I will get it in that format. There's no reason to replace my DVD collection ever as my BR player also nicely upconverts my already steller DVD collection.
Your arguments are completely invalid.
This is where you are wrong. Every PS3 sold is a blu ray player sold and every blu ray player sold means that blu will be the format of choice for HD content. If blu is the format of choice now, once BR lenses drop in price the factories will already be in place to get the consumers their new players when they upgrade. Also, every PS3 sold is actually a loss to Sony as they are still being sold under cost.
When 2-3 years from now the summer blockbuster doesn't even come out on DVD? Don't think it will happen? Well that's what they said about DVD when it first entered the market 'Why get it for $30 on DVD when I can get it for $10 on VHS and it doesn't look 'that' much better'.
IMO If studios are going to fully support optical discs and HD technology they will eventually phase out DVD's.
And M$ lost money on every console it sold for its first year as well, not to mention the $1 Billion extra thrown into the warranty. The most expensive part of the PS3 is the blu ray lens. As the price of that drops (and it will dramatically w/ all the companies working on that tech) we will see more and more price drops for the PS3. The same thing happened when the PS2 was introduced w/ an expensive (at the time) DVD lens.
I honestly hope that the 360 sales don't stagnate o...
But I think this needs to be said.
PS1 won that console war because it brought console games on to an optical disc w/ a built in CD player.
PS2 won the console war because it brought console games on to DVD w/ a built in DVD player (Xbox did as well, but it was after the fact and the player was an add on).
The PS3 is bringing console games to blu-ray w/ a built in blu-ray player.
All three were expensive machines at first and were cr...
It's not why I bought my PS3. I bought it to install linux, play blu rays, and play games (resistance & NG on launch day, not to mention the 10 or so games I have now) in HD on my then new 32" LCD. That alone was worth the price.
I also didn't know about this stupid 'diamond' program either. I've been on Live for over 3 years now and haven't received a single coupon book. Did anyone even get these?
DD has a spot and that spot is rentals. On Demand has shown this. However, I don't think it will replace owning physical discs. My parents, who are in their 40's, will never get a DD service because they want to watch it wherever, borrow it to whomever, and can borrow it from whomever. If a DD service has the ability to do this w/out the threat of piracy then it has a chance to take off. Not to mention the fact that most people don't want to wait all that time to DL one HD movie. His id...
ever gone out and said 'oh yeah, those internet rumors, totally true. Thanks everyone for getting that out before we wanted to. It really saved us the time of a press conference.'
Wait... they haven't. Imagine that.
Won't hurt the attach rate either. What's left for 360 enthusiasts to knock on?
Wait I see it now 'The attach rate doesn't matter because they give 2 games away w/ the system'
