Re: the 360 comment
You're right, my mistake. I completely missed that. He got me. ;)
I hadn't read the article by that point b/c I was shocked by the lack of anti-Sony comments.
Damn (all) fanboys.
Another fine contribution.
Well, at least you're consistent.
If the review said "8.9" instead of 7.5 you'd be singing a different zune,er,tune.
"Japs" is an definitively offensive term. You mention "Poles" as a Polish comparison, which is innactuare. It would be "Polack", which is clearly frowned upon. "Aussies", "Canucks" and "Yanks" are not generally considered disparaging.
Educate yourself a bit before you blindly jump to the defense of ignorance.
BTW, "Jap" isn't an abbreviation, it's an insult. "Jap." is an abbrev...
What, 4 posts now and no 360 fanboy has said "PS3" yet? What's come over this place?
I love how today's news reports kept saying the BC didn't work with "over 8000 Playstation games."
No one expected 100% compatibility, even the slim PS2 doesn't play all games.
I'm sure most key games will be fixed with updates. Until then 97% compatibility is still close enough for the majority of people.
I'd re-think that "XBox-SNes" comparison if I were you. Or do you think the PS3 is THAT far beyond the original XBOX?
I don't think this gen is THAT far ahead, but the implication of your example is chucklesome.
So you can accept the presence of an *alien*, but not the absence of left-handed aliens?
Priorities, man! ;)
You know, some people would question your (and other 360 fanboys') constant references to the "Japanese" people as "Japs".
Just a thought.
If they still have it listed on their site somewhere, it might just be out of date. There's been no official communication on the status of the 360 version by either company (that I can find) since the information in September on From's site.
I don't think those framerate issues are anything to worry about. Minor quibbles about minor games.
I'm more concerned about the texture problems in GeOW though. From HardOCP's justifiably-glowing review, there's this snippit:

"There were a few issues with Gears Of War that I am surprised have not been mentioned before. Aside from the minor stuff like getting stuck (literally) somewhere you weren’t supposed to be or an A.I. teammate not openi...
Shut your nonsense hole. You're just making things up to justify your own deliriously skewed viewpoint.
8.3 is bad? You're an utter fool.
I'm stunned. I was expecting a 6-7ish at best for this game.
No kidding - I assumed you were at least in Europe if not Asia, but that still doesn't improve the stench of your claim.
Copy and paste all you want, but you're still talking about upscaling. That does not change the fact that currently there are no 1080p games for the 360. They might show up eventually, but not for the forseeable future. Again, that's 1080p native.
9.1 on IGN, but that story has been squashed on this site apparently, as I can't find it listed anywhere. Weird.

Yeah, you received a PS3 from Japan and played 3 hours, and then came here and posted?
You're full of something, and it rhymes with *ssh*le.
Is there any particular reason this news isn't listed on the main site? It's apparently no longer "pending", so what's up? I don't see it in the past few pages.
I hope it's just an oversight and that we shouldn't be reading anything into the fact that it's not directly available.
Yeah, I was "worried" about an 8-ish score too (but on GameSpot). Glad to see the game made it into the 9s -- Now let's see what GameSpot has to say.
Please post again only after your return to the real world, and when have experienced a multicultural environment of adults who have something beyond a high-school level of maturity.
