The article is a joke. I love the people in here that are so quick to try to point out flaws just because it's xbox related without reading. makes you look pretty dumb
I was playing online last nigth on Reach and most of my games were great and fair. Then I got stuck with the same couple of people that were obviously cheating/hacking/modded, non stop headshots and there was no way it was possible without cheating. Can be very frustrating, however most of my night was fair and fun.
BTW PSN has just as many if not more issues with cheating and hacking so get over yourselves in every 360 article.
I've been on Live since it released on the original Xbox and never really had any issues with sound quality.
Microsoft's primary announcement was the Live functionality of Windows mobile 7. I'm very excited for this! Gamescom is not usually where MS makes any big presentations. TGS is coming and that I think is where we'll see some announcements.
all hurt that their PS3 has nothing to offer that's cool and fun like this so they have to troll in all the Xbox articles...pathetic
How close were you planning on sitting in front of your tv for anything??? Move, Wii, Kinect you all need a little room. Man the amount of PS3 fanboys in every 360 article...I guess there's nothing exciting happening on the PS3 side. How pathetic...
Wow Sony really drawing at strings to make their stuff compare....very funny stuff. Did they forget the Kinect will work with a controller as well?? haha, buttons..rechargable batteries(not needed)...hilarious. nice try Sony with your Wii HD. Just stick to some of the cool games you have coming out. Instead of thinking people are just dumb.
So this so called article/discussion had no discussion points at all. Just a Sony fanboy ranting but thinks it's ok because he had to preface it by saying this is a discussion piece? Please...I want to buy a PS3 as soon as I can, but guess what it's not for the crap online service, or because I think it has a better value...no it's becasue there are 2-3 games I'd like to try. Everything else I would still play on my 360...
yeah Sony shows us games that don't come out for years...
hmmm....
Let cheaters and hacks go to another network, all I want to do is play games fairly and have a good time.
This is an article? The 12/31/09 episode has always been there. And they have updated the schedule each week since the Beta started. It only keeps a week's worth of shows on the schedule at a time.
**edit - I guess it says that they might not have updated it...apparently this author has not looked at the schedule before now.
If they know how to compress data appropriately there should be no problems....Has anyone played Fallout??? (Main game has roughly 110 hours of gameplay if you do everything.)
They said that Microsoft was absolutely right in what they wanted them to do. At the time Microsoft asked them they were upset, but in hindsite it was the right thing.
Here's my take on this. Microsoft will probably release a new system sooner than most might think. However there will be a caveat to that...instead of thinking backward compatible they are thinking forward compatibility. They have already announced that any new systems in the future will be forward compatible, meaning you will be able to play new games on the original 360 and the new system. I think this is a smart move, it allows Microsoft to make a more robust system with new features a...
On Major Nelson's podcast Capcom leaked that Lost Planet 2 will be out this holiday season on the 360....
The problem with Guitar Hero has been that your downloads don't work with any of the other games. Rock Band downloads work with both and the songs on the original disc are playable in Rock Band 2 as well making for a huge set list that you can have. There are a ton of songs that I liked on Guitar Hero games but I can't play them in the newer versions of the game and basically am wasting my money on the DLC for them.
For a free service PSN is great! The argument comes in when there's articles like this that is trying to attack a paid service that provides better features. If the argument is why PSN is better and the argument is that it's free...it doesn't stand as successful. Keep playing your free service, it's great that you can. Just don't make an argument based on one side and not really comparing apples to apples. Until you've used it you will never know what the big deal is.
While it would be nice to have more than one online account (for my wife, son, etc), I understand why they can't do it. XBL has feedback programs and fair play services. If there is a need to block a profile they can do that, but they bock machines if they multiple complaints they find to be credible, as well as cheating, etc. It would be a nightmare trying to filter through the complaints if someone decided to create 10 online profiles to see which are matching the console then the person...
Did this guy actually read the review or just pull out random lines?? Many of these lines were prefaced with other information or clarified after. The one about buying a real guitar...the paragraph actually starts with "A full-stringed guitar is in the works but won't be available at launch." He's talking about waiting for that guitar..
