useless effing reviewers that only state the obvious. I KNOW the price, I KNOW it doesn't have a UMD drive. The first I'm not worried about, the second I'm happy about. CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING USEFUL? Anyone could have written this review just by compiling all the news they read online.
I gave up on that site a LONG time ago when I couldn't stand them fueling the console war anymore. That site is the embodiment of flame bait.
Everyone should just stop visiting that site and let it die already.
It has begun.
Uh, yeah, the RRoD is still a HUGE problem, and you still have to pay for Live, so PS3 fanboys can still use both those arguments against the 360.
1. Both versions will maximize hardware potential.
2. Both versions will be identical.
How the eff are they going to maximize both hardware if they're going to be identical?
I don't give a sh!t what bricks and mortar stores like. If I'm buying a game that has no physical production costs, there's no way I should be paying the same price as someone who gets the convenience of having the physical copy.
MS isn't dropping the 720 minimum to make non-HD games for the casual masses, that's not what the article said at all. They're doing it to allow devs to decide for themselves between 720 at 2xAA or a lesser definition at higher anti-aliassing.
It's a trade-off to respond to screens outputting at a rescaled 768 resolution. If the TVs are going to screw up the definition, then MS decided to allow devs to focus on AA instead.
Three of my friends have 360s.
Of those three, three got the RRoD.
To me, that's 100% of my sample.
Given a long enough timeline, the RRoD rate is epidemic. The only reason the "Jasper" 360s show less signs of RRoD is because they're new and it hasn't been long enough for them to all break down.
Well I, for one, didn't know that the PS3 slim was in the top spot for the last 2 weeks. Thanks for letting me know!
I have a little bit of reading for you:
http://au.games.ign.com/art...
Read that, and tell me IGN aren't ignorant fanboys. The article is overflowing with uninformed statements IGN is trying to pass as facts (the Wii runs distant second to the 360 in profits, for one) and at every turn the author tries to hype up the 360 and downplay the other consoles--bash them, even.
If you...
I think every post above mine is well thought out... too well--for IGN.
You're all forgetting IGN are HUGE 360 fanboys. I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if they ranked the 360 above the PS3 and other consoles you've all named. They'll say it's because of the "superior online experience", of course, and play it off like that's enough to justify it. They'll make no mention of the RRoD, or the slim library of first-party/exclusive titles.
IGN.
Has the author played anything not on a Nintendo console in his life? (Other than Guitar Queero...) And "hard" is not synonymous with "frustrating".
The most frustrating game I've ever played is GTA IV, for sure. It's like Rockstar tried to do everything within their power to make you hate the game. They crafted this magnificent city, then turned it against you. Anecdote:
I'm tired of doing missions, so I swing by my safehouse first then decide I ...
Japan's always had awesome PSP colors, while North America has has almost only piano black for the PSP's entire life cycle. There's the silver one now, and there have been some limited runs of blue and red in bundles, but those aren't very available.
I'd love some color, but I'm just saying I'm not assuming anything when it comes to Sony releasing sweet colors to NA.
Where do YouTube's costs come from?
I mean, all of its content is user uploaded, so they don't pay a penny there. How the hell could YouTube lose almost 500 million $? Where does this spending come from?
The only things I could think of are servers and staff...
Can someone explain?
I think some people are forgetting how consuming works:
1. Company creates product and markets it.
2. Consumers purchase said product, or not.
As consumers, WE aren't the ones who are supposed to be grateful. The devs are grateful to us for buying their game, not the other way around. This is business, companies make games for us to buy them, not because they want us to love them and be grateful to them (ESPECIALLY in CRAPCOM's case). They made the DLC for us t...
Na nana nana na! :p
With a 160GB 7200rpm HDD! :)
But it doesn't have wi-fi... :(
Here's a little story: I'm always on the internet reading about video game news, and in the middle of fanboy wars, and I probably know more about video games than I should. Which is why, when I walked into a video game store with my friend some time ago, I thought I knew a little more than he did.
He owns a 360, I do not. I know practically everything there is to know about the 360, he does not.
I recommended Gears 2 to him, because that's the game every 360 owner on...
Like Cloud-ready Bravia TVs? I like the way you think! PC gaming, on your TV, right out of the box (+kb & mouse, of course, and inevitable activation and monthly fee, but you get my point!).
I've had my laptop for almost two years now, and it runs just as smoothly as the day I got it. (Smoother, actually, because I had to spend a couple days deleting all the crap software that was preinstalled and tweaking the settings to my preferences.)
I have Vista, and I love it. There, I said it, I mean it.
are the only thin holding me back from buying a PSP Go. I keep saying it, until Sony makes the digital versions of games cheaper than the physical copies, then I'm not getting one.
