At first it was huge. Then it got lame.
Playing the Wii at my friends house just make me want to run home and play Guitar Hero 2 on my 360.
As a wet-nurse.
Good luck with that.
What an @ss-biter!
Here's my one line response to that well-thought out end of argument:
"Rich boys opinions don't count!"
MS, if you want to hand your competitors the crown just continue screwing your loyal customer base.
Micro-Transactions my @ss!
From my readings on all the forums I'd gotten the impression it was nothing more than a kick-@ss disc player, and that in itself should warrant a high-dollar purchase. I hardly hear anyone sounding off about how extraordinary the games are. "OMG, it's blu-ray! Yaaaaah."
But why buy a 32inch HD? Dude, save up. It just won't cut it, as far as impressing friends and family. Every time you go somewhere where there's a bigger set you end up kicking yourself, and when you do get home your tv will look even smaller.
If do go that route stick with component and save $90 on an HDMI cable. Your sets size wont warrant the expense.
Sorry dude. I just dont want you to amke a purchase you'll later regret.
I have bought a 52 in...
Uh, ya you'd be the only one.
Do I want these packs yup. Will I buy them? No!
Drop the freakin price already.
Looking after your customer base shouldn't entail screwing them for as much as you can.
Not.
At least not enough to make me commit to a format.
These numbers translate into into 1 every 30 Canadians own a blue ray movie. Hardly commanding numbers.
"Return of the Blue Angels"
Love flying games, first game bought for my 360....let down big-time. Fun is not defined by my trying to shoot down a big red reticule.
Micro-Transactions my @ss! Since when is 4-10 dollars a micro-transaction! Oh and the worst Guitar Hero 2. That debacle made me want to weep.
Cause this game is gonna smoke!
But because one of the two sides, and the requisite consumers, will be losing out...spending cash on something that will turn out to be our generations betamax.
Money's hard to come by, and I don't like to see anyone burned.
It's possible that even both sides will lose out.
For me and my house, I am not so driven by the need to be the best and brightest, to forgo my big collection of DVD's.
The remedy to my anachronistic philosophy....
Amen to that
Apparently the researchers haven't played too much online COD3, or GOW because I seem to run in to the mentally disturbed quite regularly.
And from time to time..even on this forum
You, probably more than anyone else, as an avid gamer, must know what these micro-transactions add up to. It gets bloody exorbitant.
Now we have a great game that I dropped $160 on (2 guitars, Canadian funds), one guitar doesn't work, and the DLC is old news and over-priced.
$6.25 aint' cheap.
To justify this pricing scheme only limits your cred when you weigh in on other issues.
PS. I do typically enjoy your rants and tirades versus...
I own two guitars, same model #. One works, the other doesn't.
A patch does not make sense in light of this. If all that is required is a software patch why is there so much success reported by people who crack their guitars and recalibrate the whammy control.
Activison is just doing damage control and buying time on this one
If I was filling up this 120 GB with porn sure I'll pay full market value, but for heaven's sake I will be using it download additional chargeable content, like tv shows and arcade games.
Cut us a break, and drop the price, and while I'm asking for the nigh unto impossible, reduce the arcade games pricing!
Which is probably why it is so much fun.
But here's my take...this article did not say the PS3 was a POS, which would have warranted the majority of ardent responses above.
It said, here are some mis-steps the Sony company could have done better with. The author is right. You can love the machine and not love the marketing. The lead-up to the release of the PS3was a debacle -almost all the major press agree.
I agree with every point he made -exce...
