fanboy i've come across here with the word "Green" in your name... maybe you're all one and the same person... who knows, one things for sure, you're surely smoking some!
But the enthusiasts start the ball rolling, and they are rolling the Blu-Ray ball...
Its not PS3 or Xbox 360 thats going to rule next year, its going to be the little old Wii, and with no games. It baffles me how people go mad over it, but they do regardless of the fact that there are only really 4 games worth owning on the system. It breaks all the rules!! I want one just for Mario Galaxy BTW! (Whether I actually ever buy one I don't know) :)
Its nice to see Nintendo on top, Im not always for their games/machines (I kinda grew out of them at the SNES period an...
The only games that look better on Xbox 360 are SOME multi plat ones, and of them 90% are EA games, EA Sports in particular.... run by Moore, ex Xbox 360 boss, ex sega boss (when Dreamcast went under to PS2)... make any links there? Clue, this guy has it in for Sony BIG TIME.
As far as Exclusive game comparisons go, PS3 is already taking over in the GFX dept. Uncharted has literally taken my breath away at points. I've even had my dear wife (Who usually says "Looks just th...
The Xbox 360 CAN auto install whilst playing a game, and it does it all without any intervention. Once the info comes up of the download being complete the game or demo is instantly ready to play (It will inform whilst your playing a game too, so you can easily quit out and play the download if you wish). Its a feature (amongst some others) that I miss on the PS3. I agree with most of this article, but its not things that are VASTLY important (maybe only in game XMB for now). But its those sm...
And as far as "Europe" is concerned with HD-DVD, it should read "UK" because thats the only part of "Europe" left that gives a small sh!t about HD-DVD and thats fading FAST. Its DEAD over mainland Europe, there are virtually no movies in shops and no players no adverts on tv or anything. Everything is Blu here. The only place left where HD-DVD has a chance is USA, and looking at the way Toshiba's dumping efforts have played out (Blu-Ray STILL selling 2:1 in disc ...
Why are people saying "Buy another console" as a remedy to this sh!t?
So by your reconing, when your Xbox 360 RRoD's, you should buy a new one? When the Drive fails, buy a new one? If its too noisy, buy a new one?
What happens when you buy that new one and it STILL has a noisy drive and after a few months STILL RRoD's? Buy ANOTHER one? or what?
When will you Xbox 360 fans stand up to Microsoft and MAKE them do something about all these...
And Toshiba know that. Thats why they have all but given up in the rest of the world and are selling $99 machines in USA. The only part of Europe left that still has a smitten of HD-DVD support is UK and thats dying fast. Japan is verging on Blu-Ray only. Right here in Denmark you don't see HD-DVD anywhere, I've yet to see a dedicated player in a shop.
Some people here call Blu-Ray "Blu-Ray HD-DVD" so any mention of "HD-DVD" is Blu-Ray anyway. I was in Fona...
but the body of the article says it includes Xbox 360 add on. So basically its contradicting itself. Put that against however many million Blu-Ray players (Including PS3, seeing as this article includes Xbox 360 addon).
And Death, the 2:1 ratio is still 2:1 no matter if there are 5 million Blu ray players to 1 million HD-DVD. Blu-Ray is out selling HD-DVD and has been constantly all year. Now put it into a bit more perspective, That 2:1 is in USA alone. Add to this Europes 5:1 ...
You made a really fine comment there, but do you really think its justified that you have to keep sending back your broken console? Thats like telling Microsoft its ok to sell defective consoles. Any other hardware manufacturer by now would have HAD to recall the product. But Microsoft are simply slapping a 3 year warranty plaster over the whole mess and recyling around the same old broken units until people like your good self buckle and buy a completely new system! My brother in law has doe...
We cant access the "Special" PSP content on the PS3 store... is the PSP Store (on the PC) a seperate entity? If so thats rather annoying. I would like to be able to see all content for PS3 and PSP on my PS3. Its handy if im at work for checking the store on the pc, but a bit daft if I have to fire up the pc at home just to access PSP specific stuff like Beats and the UMD games releases such as Wipeout Pure if im already on my PS3. Seems a bit strange.
And the content is English, but if there are any movie clips SOME have Dansk text. Im English anyway (Just married a Dane and live here) so I have my machine set to English i've not tried setting to Danish yet, but maybe that makes thw whole system (And Store) display everything in Dansk. Anyway, the content is always the same as is reported here.
PS3 is the best family wise. I have a family and they love it. Wii is better for a NON GAMER family, in our family it would loose, Why? because i'm a hard core gamer, Wii only has 1 maybe 2 games total that im interested in. My wife is a non gamer, she doesn't even want to TOUCH a controller with even ONE button.. she likes Eyetoy games and Singstar. My son is 2½ years old, he just waggles the joypad around and can sometimes press a button. He likes alot of the PSN games I have, especial...
They all look quite even. ALL systems have a good selection of games now. Its a good christmas for gamers :)
PSP for just over 2 years now, and its the most used Gadget i've ever owned. Admittedley its used more for the media functions generally. I game on it alot, but listen to music and watch movies alot more. I have a long commute to and from work so its an ideal "Jack of all trades" for me. The games appeal more to me than the DS ones ive seen, and the added bonus of being able to do media stuff on my PSP makes it ideal. It's usually quite an eye cathcer when I suddenly pull it from my...
I agree with you on Edge, I've been reading it since issue 1 and have found I usually agree very much with half of their scores and disagree VERY much with the other half. And BTW, didn't they give Tempest 2k on the Jag a 9/10? I seem to remember them going ape over it, the only Jag game they REALLY liked (Cybermorph a close second with 8/10). I loved T2K too, I played it so much back in Summer 1994 that I carried on in my sleep ;) I was most pissed at the Alien V's Predator score they gave f...
I thought Harmonix had stated recently that their Rockband Guitars are standard controllers and work with the PS3 Bluetooth tech? And go onto state that the problems with GHIII guitars and rockband are because Redoctane/Activision chose to use the non proprietary dongle (THEY stated issues with the PS3 Bluetooth, not Harmonix AFAIK).
http://ps3.ign.com/articles...
3 periperals out the box
2 wired (2 USB ports needed)
1 wireless (0 USB ports needed)
Total USB ports needed for out of the box Rockband = 2
Even if you buy an extra guitar there are no problems as that will be wireless too so what exactly is the issue here?
Do the math.
is all the Xbox 360 fans/fanboys knowing the EXACT procedure for sending a broken Xbox 360 back ;)
Even if this article is fake or the guy is dumb, it still doesn't cover the fact that MS have openly admitted to the problem. What i'd like to hear is MS say they have FIXED it for sure. Then we can lay the RRoD monotony I hope. Its odd though, that they haven't said anything yet, and bad too because they continue to sell the machines and people buying are STILL none the wiser as ...
Around 2 years ago that Toshiba WANTED to quit, but those rumours also suggested that Microsoft were bullying/Bribing Toshiba into keeping with HD-DVD, so they did. Only rumours, like.. no hard facts so take me with a pinch of salt ;)
