Achivements are adicting. Sony should have implement some sort of achivement system into their games long time ago... I don't see myself playing too many games without achivements... of course if a game is on another platform and not on the xbox 360 like Zelda for my DS... duhh I will play it.. .but boy I wish there it was some achivements.
Achivements also give people a sense of direction... and encorage people to play the game multiple times. Call it crap if you want... but a game wi...
ouch... news like this make sony fanboys really angry... and they have reasons to... as time go by and Sony continue to bleed exclusives... it's becoming aparent that the xbox 360 is the console to own.
Now that I think about it, it was a good thing that Sony added blu-ray to the PS3... without blu-ray the console would be dead already. Sony knows this.. which is why they are marketting the PS3 as a blu-ray player.. even bundling it with movies (Spiderman)...
Obviously the game...
Why should Microsoft appeal? It's not like they will lose money? Do you think that the gov will give that money to the people? Nope... They will keep it to themselves... while Microsoft get to increase the price of their products to compenstate for it.
For the most parts these anti-trust law sues imply removing software from windows OS... example... not ship windows with Media player... which is why Microsoft released so many versions of vista.. that way.. they can just release it the ...
ohh geee.. thanks Sony.. now consoles and game sites will be reviewing movies too?
I'm around... a little upset that Sony fanboy have taken over this site and organize together to shut people that tell them the truth... hoping that they can dig a hole on the grown that will make the PS3 problem go away by sticking their head into that hole...
I'm not going to comments as much... It's not worth it. Let Sony fanboys abuse the bubble system if it makes them feel better... against real gamers... I'm still standing... and this article is proof of it. facts and true do not...
I can be wrong... but the list you gave is listing the companies based on their revenues and not their profits... This list should not be use to measure the success of a company.
General Motors (5 on list!)
Revenues: 207,349.0 bil
Profits: -1,978.0 bil
Microsoft (139 on list):
Revenues: 44,282.0 bil
Profits: 12,599.0 bil
Sony (69 on list)
Revenues: $70,924.8 bil
Profits: 1,080.1 bil
What do you ...
Kind of funny... even before the xbox 360 was released... people (specially Sony fanboys) were predicting that the xbox 360 would not have a chance nor that they would Domininate ANY REGION... Interesting enough... it seems as if now people are already accepting that the Playstation is not the king of all regions as the PS2 once was, "Look outside of North America"... That right there is a success for Microsoft. starting with 0 installbase only one generation ago (5 years) against t...
@drewdrakes - don't bother with this Sony fanboys.. they can't see past a console... bubbles for you for being smarter then they are!
To them... they only see the xbox 360 as just a console... they are not capable of thinking about the benefit and revenues the xbox 360 can bring when people buy media center to stream video to their xbox 360... or IPTV... or live TV... or xbox live movie market place... or Zune... and all other projects we don't know about... now that microsoft ...
To sony fanboys Ram or any other component is more important on a game machine than the Cell + Blu-ray... do you know why? Because Sony said so....
eventually... 5 years from now games recomended requirements will be:
CPU: Cell
Drive: Blu-ray
GPU: Standard 16MB
Ram: 32MB
HAHAHA! Seriously... Sony fanboys are just too funny.
The main reason why I don't experience lots of lag like some of you is because I make sure my online gaming is optimal.
1) No wireless router for my consoles or gaming PC... Use wireless only for laptops and other non optimal connection critical devices.
2) Make sure NAT and ports are configure properly.
3) I purchased an Xbox live cerfied router which are tested and designed with xbox live in mind.
You are obviously blind and a completely ignorant when it comes to business... I'm not sure if it's worth speind 2 minutes replaying to your trolling..
Ever heard the word "I...
Funny... how Sony fanboys point at all these non-existant issues ont he xbox 360 version... like.. lag? what the hell are you talking about.. I play Halo 3, COD 3, COD 4 Beta, Gears, .... and 90% of the games I don't experience any lag.
ohh yeah... and about RROD... I'm not affected by it... So.. even if I had an PS3 there is no way on hell.. I would buy the PS3 version... for the simple fact that It does not have achivements..
I'm a very competitive person (can't you te...
@goodganja44 - You are confusing a fan with a fanboy... him.. having a picture of master chief indicates he is a fan... you having a hate anti-xbox 360 ... that makes you a fanboy... which goal is only to troll the xbox 360... why should any body listen to what you have to say... when just by looking at your avatar we can tell you are just a hater.
At least he is promoting what he likes.. but you... you are promoting what you hate.
Funny... how you Sony fanboys want to turn this into a caotic thing for the xbox 360. Do you guys think that the numbers of Halo 3 copies include pirated copies? LOL.. poor microsft and bungie... they just made 10 times what they invested making the game.
"Piracy is what cause the death of the Dreamcast because the attach rates were not as high as it needed to be. At this rate Micro$hit will be announcing a cancelling of not just xbox, but video games in general."

It's funny how Sony fanboys bring how the PS2 is still selling and therefore than the hardware is good for todays gaming... if you are right then the following is right...
The wii hardware is enough and there is no need for consoles like the PS3 and the xbox 360...
And the PS3 is not needed because the PS2 is selling more and can do ok with it's current hardware...
Also, the DS hardware is more then enough to bring any game that the PSP can..
"I love all the idiots suggesting that 2 discs would work in a game such as this. Especially that one-sided ignorant comment by Bloodmask..." dude... before you start calling people idiots... try understanding what you write... you obviously do not understand how a game excute on a game machine (PC, handheld, console, etc)...
No scenario or scene can be biggers than the available amount of memory available... why do you think even PC game which in most of the cases co...
you beat me to it! your freaken mind reader! bubbles for you!
Sony fanboys will never admit it... The PS3 None-Unified Memory Architecture and the fact that the system actually only has access to 196MB of RAM is proven to be a problem for developers... specially those developers that have to port games from the xbox 360 to the PS3.

"The PS3 is Highly Adaptable:" my @$$... and this has nothing to do with the xbox 360... you have to be stupid to think that with how fast hardware is evolving... what's the norm in computer as far as memory today 2GB? CPU? GPU horsepower? 7-8 years from now... 512MB of ram will will laughable... some people think that just because the PS3 has a blu-ray player.. that makes it future proof... do you have any Idea how much bandwidth we are going to have? and how big hard drive will be...
Too many places to watch Heros now in days... I have netflix which let you watch it at anytime... I'm recording it on HD using DVR...
It's possible... never say never... that the PS3 will eventually catchup to the xbox 360 installbase... but let's not forget that the xbox 360 is selling too...
The current installbase lead of the xbox 360 over the PS3(europe only) is 2,056,958
That means if we assume that means that it would take 57 Weeks for the PS3 to catchup by selling nearly 2:1 against the xbox 360.
Of course the asumption is that Microsoft will not drop the price of the xbox 36...
