donation? this is more like advertising, and public relations... "PS3s, PS2s and PSPs as well as two HDTVs" who manufacture this devices? how much it cost Sony to give these away? Don't they give gamestop and other retails store the very samething for them to display them?
Let's me guess... what do you think kids are going to want when they get out of the hospital?
I call donation when a company gives $$$ and let these institutions put the money where needed. Y...
lol.... don't Sony own more game studios than microsoft does? anyone sudgesting that Microsoft has a monopoly in the game industry is an idiot... if anything microsoft own less and less (bungie anyone)... I hate people's double standard in this site... though Sony owns like 70% more studio than Microsoft in the game industry... they accusing microsoft of monopoly but completely ignore Sony when it comes to this.
Right about now many xbox 360 haters that were hoping and betting that the xbox 360 was not going to have any game in 2008 are getting nervous right about now. It's funny that some people think that a company with so much money is not able to invenst money into developing or funding new games for the xbox 360 specially when they know that they can make the money back ten fold...
If microsoft want to change the odds they will a) Drop the price of all consoles, b) introduce a new SKU tha...
"CNN: Blu-Ray the "likely winner"... uhhh.. you think? Why is it that the mainstream are a) Way off(mass effect) or b) late (this). No wonder the internet is replacing newspapers and tv news.
Politics... When was the last time politicians promised something, win election and delivered? The only reason why some politicians are talking video games is because it helps them to do nothing... you see.. you blame video games to all the problems in the world.. and they can continue profitting from weapons sells while they provide solutions to non-existing problems... it also remove attention from where the real problem are... problems like proper health care to those nut heads that need h...
I didn't mean "public domain" in the sense that no royalties can be collected by Sony.... but in the sense that Sony cannot lock or stop microsoft or anyone from releasing a blu-ray player... it's against the law.. they also can't over charger microsoft just because...
Microsoft was going to pay royalties to Toshiba anyways... Microsoft main interest was the adoption of their encoding technology... which even blu-ray addopted... microsoft makes money on the hardware (addon).....
lol... for nothing... waste of time... because business is business... microsoft picked HD DVD because they though it served them best... worst comes to worst ... uhhh.. they bring a blu-ray player... done deal... hey if Sony supported VHS after BetaMax went belly up... why wouldn't microsoft do the same.. specially since Toshiba own HD DVD not microsoft.
Once blu-ray wins it becomes public domain... not even Sony can stop microsoft from releasing a blu-ray player.... it's agai...
DJ... quit already... it's already known as fact that there were/are shortages.. plenty of sources indicate that... why don't you start with those provided by SeNiLe911.... your agenda to show that there are lots of xbox 360 in store collecting dust is not working....
hehe... you are just mad because you said that the xbox 360 can't achive more than 16 players... this game is just a demo... it's not even in a production environment and servers... you want me to remind you about similar situations? well... how about warhawk when it was first released that people couldn't even join a game for hours... mmmm.. not enough? how about COD4 on the PS3 because they didn't have enough servers? well... how come you gave those games a chance and they were released but...
You mean it will sell more units? Fine I give you that... but if wha they mean is that the wii will "Displace" is not the right word... the wii will never kill or destroy the xbox 360 or the PS3... the world would be a sad place for gamers if the wii was the only console... no COD4, no Gears, No Mass Effect, no Metal Gear, no Final Fantasy, no Bioshock... we would all be playing Mario and wii fit... No thanks... just because non-hd tvs sell more and cheaper than HD TV it does not me...
Here is the funny thing about that... one of the games you are refering to is LO (4 discs)... I'm currently on the 1 disc and I already played over 25 hours... and yet I've not been asked for the 2nd disc... and since I currently own many games... I probably switched the game like 8 time since I started playing the game... do you see why I don't care about multi disc? because I still have to switch the disc to play other games... now if you tell me that every PS3 game comes in 1 disc and I do...
Let't hope this is only capcom being lazy and that developers don't start doing this.. because if it does, it will be interesting how this can become a problem to Sony. Currently games on the PS3 are relatively small and Sony games are not being published in 50GB or 200GB blu-ray discs... if games continue to grow (which by the way, the main reason why blu-ray was added to the PS3). If now that the games are so small in comparison what will the install be like when games like Metal Gear are r...
I rather microsoft say "HDMI is not needed" and then give to us... than for them to say what Sony says, "Game BC is needed" and then remove it.
funny... I was asking myself the same question... so, I guess this explains it. One can tell that this site is no longer reliable to get gamer's input about the games... we have a bunch of xbox 360 haters... they're currently double the number of real gamers in this site.. you can tell by the dissagree that some people get.
The other thing that is sad is that many people reviewed this game only based on the 1st 2 bosses we are very hard.. some people never beat those beforing s...
"The problem with sticking with unreliable hardware is you keep buying games and then its not the console thats so valuable but your library." I know exactly what you mean... I remember owning 2 PS1 and 3 PS2... you guys remember the drive problem with the PS1s? had to put it upside down? and the PS2... eventually Sony fixed it... and people forgot all about it... the only thing worst than RROD is that at least microsoft is convering the cost of reparing... Sony did not... you only ...
It should be obvious that the fact that the PS3 beat the xbox 360 in Jan was simply because of shortables.. it's only logical... Remember this is not due to DMC.. since that came didn't come out last month... was game could posibly help the PS3 sell more units than the xbox 360? You can also tell by the software sells.. you can't see any improvement in terms of game sells for the PS3 and xbox 360 games are constant.... you can also see this by looking at the December numbers... where the xbox...
Well... there is one way to find out... many game stores are reporting that there are xbox 360 shortages... I went to my local Gamestop and they do not have have elites or premiums... but then again it can be just my local store...
Regardless of this I believe that the PS3 is gaining momentum... and this is only due to microsoft own success... though they were able to they decided to see how the xbox 360 performs against the PS3 when the elite is more expensive the the PS3 $399...
Why is it that all super fighters have memory lost, girl friend got killed and practically have 2 or 3 movies from Ken or Ryu?
Hey, at least this guys powers do not include throwing Pizza and other things... developers can get creative that way when they can't think of what kind of new character to make.
Keyboard and mouse support for consoles? Why? do you know that RTS on consoles need to be dumb down in terms of graphics compared to the PC versions simply because of RAM, memory differences between the PC and the consoles? Take Supreme commander for example, they had to dumb down the textures and remove some very large maps... they also added some console only goodies so people are not disapointed.
If you are so against using the console controllers, though as proven by alread...
@mistertwoturbo - hehe.. it's not... addon will be used only for movies. 98% of all games come in 1 disc... also, I played Lost Odyssey for over 18 hours and yet on the first disc... I probably change the game like 10 times to play other games.. so why would I have a problem to do it one more time for LO?
Don't you know what the word "NEED" means? it means required... and I don't need Blu-ray to play this game... ohh yeah and so you know... Lost Oddesey would require ...
