@LOGICWINS Clearly people want to play online. You have to pay a full premium service for just one feature that you want. If Online Gaming went free in Xbox Live tomorrow but it was still Gold for all the other features and 100 people's memberships were running out tomorrow, how many people do you think would go Gold again? 80 of those people, 20? How about ZERO. I have alot of friends who memberships of Gold have either expired or are just about to and they aren't paying for it anymo...
Options that everybody requires. (Of course for all us intelligent people here I don't mean that they really do need it. I'm talking about the donkey masses that THINK they need this stuff like the idiots that think their controller and console network connection HAS to be wireless and thus, throw down 90 quid for a wireless adapter because the asshole retail staff tells them they NEED this)
HIGHLY likely. Will it have over priced accessories and subscriptions that practically everybody needs to add another 150 quid to the price tag?
100% guaranteed.
@joab777 Lol and yet every body I know who loves their Xbox has a PS3 too for the exclusives and a Netflix and bluray player. Anybody who loves the PS3 first has no need for an Xbox 360. You got that completely the wrong way around.
"that sadly doesn't live up to it's full potential"
Like GTA IV? Not getting GTA V on current or next gen consoles after the crushing disappointment that was GTA IV.
Lol you beat me to it.
Although I think the Nintendo Direct this week proved that the Wii U is doomed when everything showed off was for the 3DS.
In case you didn't know, this is the THIRD year that the Wii U is going to be at E3. So yes they had better show off some damn games.
The next COD is being revealed the first week in May so unless the Next Xbox is unveiled at that time, then no, no it isn't. The trailer will debut 3 weeks later
She was the slutty chick in a National Lampoon movie and did her awesome sexy, Drawn Together, Princess Clara voice (although she isn't slutty at all) :)
Yeah Sony are going to be in serious trouble when Microsoft pretend they are all for Indies again and then fuck everybody over only after 3 years.
Well after all that Stranger's Wrath fucking around, JAW have every right to say that about Microsoft.
So the PC owners are always bragging about the games on the platform and yet here is a game exclusive for PC that doesn't come close to the graphics of Battlefield 3 or the Crysis series. Glad rigs that are apparently more powerful then the Next Gen consoles are being put to such great use.
Halo 3 was and still is the most over hyped game in the history of games. And yet to this day still has higher reviews than Reach, the better game. It was just that awesome. This was back in the day when I discovered, and then completely avoided, the Xbot infested website Kotaku. There were articles about Halo 3 every 10 minutes 3 months before launch.
Just like the way there was/is no difference in 2006 or today in the 360 and PS3.
@SITH Plus COMES with Automatic Updates dumbass. Learn the facts first.
With the recently announced Free2Play game Ridge Racer Driftopia coming to PC and PS3 this raises yet another question.
Why is this not on Xbox Live? Is it because of the awesome 2GB limit on Xbox Live content (which was 300mbs in 2008, by comparison Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty launched on PS3 in 2008 at over 3.5GBs in size) or is it because it ISN'T free to play if you have to pay for...
Wow just wow. I can't believe there are idiots who still actually believe that Kinect is a good thing. Newsflash, developers were forced to use Kinect. Mass Effect 3 had to have its game cover ruined with that horrible purple "Better with Kinect" Banner. At least you admit that Microsoft damned Kinect, they even wouldn't put that purple banner on the cover their 2 biggest last games for the 360, Halo 4 and Gears of War Judgment because they were terrified that they would sca...
Is the bigger issue about the online always thing not the fact that games are also rumored to be installed completely to the Next Xbox thus requiring some kind of extra fee if you were to give the same game to a friend?
This could be very easily rectified if they just make it that it requires one of the discs of the game in the console at all times. The always online thing is a tiny extra arse fucking when compared to having to pay for the basic online fee subscription anyway like wit...
Lol nope. From working in a retail store, that happens to be in a town of a majority of Playstation owners, I can say without a doubt that every single one of these articles over the years are absolute bullshit.
We have the kind of customers who always came back over the littlest of things because they know that I know how to sort them out, be it a PS3 freezing or whatever. And nobody's PS3 ever had a problem after just installing a FW. Its completely absurd and fabricated shit.
At least they didn't completely revamp it 4 times in the last 5 years. Remember that blinding white themed Kinect Dashboard in Nov 2010? What a disaster.
Or since the 2010 Kinect "Reveal" I still don't want to live on this planet anymore when anything related to Microsoft E3 Press Conferences is involved. I will wait until it is over and get the remnants of the news from Eurogamer lol.
Lol if a Dragon Quest game isn't aking off in Japan on it, it is DOOMED. For people saying when they start releasing 1st party games it will do well, they LAUNCHED it with a 2D Mario. I don't know how much more they could have catered to the casual and hardcore fans and it still failed. It is DOOMED.
@DK Its funny you say that because when Microsoft go live with their conference first at E3 2013, I won't be watching since the first and last Microsoft conference I saw was the E3 2010 one (terrible actors with one game shown at it Gears 3). I will just read the funny notes by Eurogamer.
And yet when Sony take there turn, there will be websites that will not be able to handle the bandwidth when their conference takes place (again just like their 2010 conference). Why? Be...
But basic online pay will still be free.
