there is absolutly now way the xbl will cost $100 bucks this generation or the next. the only way i see a $100 subcription fee is for an ultimate membership where you can play any XBLA game you want and get special premium features above gold membership but a standard gold membership will always be there being cheaper. i can see the price getting hiked to $60 but no anything above that

i don't know when MS decided to charge for online back with the original xbox no one made a big fuss about it and now most console gamers think thats the stand even though no one charges for online. not all console gamers are push over games with a primarily hardcore fan base (socom, metal gear, ect) would be and are very vocal it really the casuals dominated titles that you see this sort of thing

i guess this industry just found out never mess with PC nerds. i wish console gamers showed this much dedication

i really wish they created the story co op wise. 80% of the game you play with a buddy so i think it would be awesome if they created it to be a co op campaign

how is half a million in one month bad? considering the rest of the world combined would more than likely put PS3 over 1 million

please don't call me an idiot it's disrespectful and stanlee is right the 50 million that MS paid is going to be paid back either way. what would happen is that MS would get a bigger cut of the revenue of each GTA DLC sold until they got 50 million dollars and then ms would recive it's regular cut if the DLC didn't didn't earn 50 million dollars in profit R* would have to pay back MS so there was no way for MS not to get back their money plus interest.

also a lot of people think ...

man do i hate HHG i use to think he was harmless but me makes outlandish claim without any evidence. first of all MS did not pay 50 million dollars for exclusive they basically gave out a loan/advance in exchange for makeing it exclusive. MS will get every single penny back. Also unlike HHG i have some proof

most likely not true considering how hard IW hasn't been advertising the 11 10 09 date if anything it's probably a delay for japanese or Australian version

great article but will be lost on the regular public. i think most hardcore gamers like us would agree games are already art but the public doesn't....yet. it's only a matter time. when they think of videogames they think of halos, GTA's and mario's which are all great but aren't art. as gaming grows and as games like shadow of the colossus and okami get through to the public the perception that video games are just "toys" will change

wow people need to understand that the the arm of one company isn't the same as the other. look as sony computer entertainment it's american, european, and japanese division really don't have anything to do with each other other than the fact that they're all a part of sony. each owns different game developers and publishes different games. bioware is based out of Montreal and austin so the fact the this is russia means absolutely nothing. if this was EA america or something you guys might be...

wow how the hell is this crap approved seriously. these aren't even good retailer? first a "major" australian retailer and now EA russia? who the hell even knew an EA russia existed. if it was amazon or best buy or something but this crap is from obscure places that have no credibility. until EA and bioware come out saying it's for PS3 it ain't gonna happen

why the hell to people post these? seriously 99.999% of the time it's just some listing error when someone accidental put it for PS3.

umm could that mean there could be more users complaining about the hadeware too? It says the 360 is in more searches but a lot of those searches could be "my 360 broke" or "my 360 got the RROD". i'm not saying it's true but just the statement 360 is in more internet searches is vague and has no real weight

i think it's unfair to compare KZ2 and uncharted 2 on any sales level considering how different the landscape was for KZ2. Take this into account uncharted 2 already has an established predecesor (drake's fortune) and is launching hot off the fresh PS3 slim and price drop. KZ2 launched as esentially a new IP as the first one really didn't create a big fan base and launched when the PS3 was 399 and in the post holiday/economic slump period. Killzone 2 has a lot going against it so it isn't fa...

lol when i first saw the title i thought it was going to be an articles saying GT over rated it or something but this is ridiculous uncharted 2 got a great score from GT and is in line with all the other scores so i don't see any bias what so ever

you need voice acting to make a good character and before people start saying gordon freeman think about it for a miniute what makes the half life story great is the secondary characters like gmam, alyx, ect. freeman is an empty character and really has no weight on the story what so ever. the half life story is still great but imo i could have been a hell of a lot better if they added voice acting

just wondering if this applies to buy multiple of one game cause i know my friend is also getting uncharted 2 along with me so we i could buy 2 copies of uncharted 2 get demon's souls and then he pays me back for uncharted 2
