where are you getting xbox's failure rate @ 30%
its not even close to that. its @ 17%
dont get me wrong bash the 3fixme as much as you like but at least do it with the correct facts.
as to this error, i dont understand why it isn't just possible to roll back the firmware if it is a firmware download issue? confused but to be honest i dont actually care, touch wood it'll never happen to me. (@ less than a 3% failure rate for ps3 its also unlikely too)
"In the last two months, a very worrying trend has surfaced.
On the web, a huge and an increasing number of PS3 owners start to report the death of their favourite console. The causes, seem directly linked to Blue-ray drives that suddenly refuse to read discs.
The begin of this alarming phenomenon starts last November when the Belgian retailer “Games Mania” stated that the 40% of PS3 sold have been returned due to hardware problems primarily related to the system being unab...
X360 will sell more yeah, but by 2:1? i think thats bs personally.
18 million x360 sales worldwide
nearly 12 million ps3 sales worldwide.
that means 3:2 sales respectively,
you talk about attach rates like they mean something, point is this, perorders are @ 11:6 yes but any number of factors could ultimately change those numbers. its like an election, sony users might simply be more willing to go out and buy from shops on they day. 360 users...
voice acting isn't that bad? i could quite happily sit through all the FF's since they introduced it back in ff10. the only guy that i have found annoying to date was wakka, but after a while it became endearing.
personally the worse voice acting i came across was in Enchanted Arms. now theres a RPG that you would want to sit through with subs. the voice acting was terrible! and the script was appaling.
cant wait for this game though, its pretty much my whole rea...
lol the same line twice? could you be any more generic?
i love your comedy though, i find people like you hysterical, unfortunately i grew out of it on my third birthday and came to the realisation that arguments have a tendency to be more persuasive if you include some content that doesn't rival that age old classic comeback of "ur mum."
do you have anything worthwhile to add? or is your animus so inadequate you have to revert to that inner retard?
that kleenex for you to bash one out over the console you love so much?
it not only cracks me up that this article was written in the first place. but that there are actually xbox fans here justifying and agreeing with this author?
i mean come on gents, you cant honestly read that and think
a) the guy makes some good vaild points
B) its a fair and unbiased argument
@ M4H Mactik... nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see a 3FIXME fanboy sprouting comments like yours. "you look like a pedo" does your camp ...
just reading through article again and rechargeability is apparently worse than changing batteries. that has what to do with GTA4? definately returning my ps3 to the store now. i've been had: what with the extra wattage my ps3 will cost me, and my controllers inability to aim.
you're saying to me i shouldn't buy gta4 on ps3 coz the ps3 uses more power than an xbox? you really are? this is a joke right?
Oh and now the xbox controller produces greater accuracy? really? REALLY? what greater than a splitfish combo controller, or a mouse and keyboard on pc? am sure this mythical greater accuracy on 3FIXME you speak of will come in handy as u race cars around VC and drop molotovs out the window.
but truely i'm sold, i'm packing up my ps3 and...
LOL i want to be the first in the open zone to tell the 3FIXME newbie to sod off back from whence he came. gt5p is a big boys game, if u want a platform to spread propoganda, go do it in a "I'm in love with microsoft coz halo and gears are the all time most amazingist of games ever created in the universe." thread
failing that... take a page out of m'softs book and develop the human version of RROD.
usually am a fan of ign but a little shocked at overall rating.
i was expecting an 8.5 at least and the graphics running at full 1080p and 60 fps alone is more deserving than a 9.0 for graphics.
still overall its not a bad review, basically says its a good game with questionable lasting appeal / gameplay holes in some areas. bearing in mind theres a set amount of tracks and limited cars in prologue, you can see where they are coming from. as to gameplay, i'm a li...
i agree with the author, media does make a mountain out of this, but does anyone really care that a few politicians use this to get popular.
for the soccor mums: the divorce rate is up in america? has to be games, couldn't possibly be any other reason for marrital breakdown you're right. i could (and have) write a whole thesis on why the divorce rate is up and games wouldn't feature at all in it.
"You buying all those sixty dollar games is the reason we are ...
@ GLad to be a gamer
less than honest? please... i play on a wireless broadband connection (i.e through the Wifi) and i get no probs with COD4. UT3 i'll grant you suffers from frame rate issues online when theres a lot of action going on around (WHICH IS WHY I SAID IN MY PREVIOUS POST: "SMOOTH FRAME RATE FOR THE MOST PART") you but not lag in the sense of "shooting @ ghosts". Resistance also plays fine online as does the Orange box.
I cant co...
blu ray is pushing ps3 sale at the mo so it really isn't a surpirse that sony is making the most of their blu-ray compatibility. updating to the latest features is good dont get me wrong, but there are far more important things to be working on.
XMB as pointed out is one of them. online experience for PS3 is good dont get me wrong - NO LAG and smooth frame rate for the most part, but communication and a lack of in game chat means that sony keeps getting knocked around the court...
thats hilarious.
i have to point out this is an old article, the discussion boards first post was march last year, so you guys have been for the most part duped into defending a newly released ps3.
be interesting to go back to this guy and find out what he thinks of the ps3 and its marketing scheme since - and if indeed he intends to play any upcoming exclusives on it (or if he has been already)
that would be a true indication of whether the guy ca...
it actually makes me laugh when games do cross platform comparisons like this. especially when it leads to the inevitable comments like "well on the 360, its got better textures and antilaising".
please... the games are basically identical!!
if you've bought it on ps3 and are running about shooting the sh*t out of terrorists, do you think they are really gonna stop and say "i'm sorry, i just cant continue playing this game knowing that the contrast...
his comments pretty much say it all.
i used to care who comes out on top between the consoles because i wanted to be sure i had purchased wisely. The bottom line is that regardless of what happens now, i have a console that does it all. microsoft might have done a few things better, but i very rarely look back. ultimately a £300 bit of kit is being used for the vast majority of my home entertainment - DVD, Music, Bluray, Gaming, and surfing. Getting past the fact that the ...
i am actually shocked.
whats with the defensive bandwagon today? all these strikes at sony actually makes it look like you guys have something to worry about (you do, but at least take the wind out the sails).
digital downloads will probably end up being the future, just as mp3 has slaughtered CD. will that happen in the next 12-18 months? hell no. assuming DD really kicks off in the near future, its going to be taking the market away from DVD if anyone (although...
no bad apples on either side?
have you been reading a lot of comments posted.
i honestly think that some ppl say the stuff they say to aggrevate and bait. anything to do with ps3 / xbox360 whether its hardware / software / or an interview with one camp seems to turn into a flame war on here.
my xbox is better because...
my ps3 is better because...
in the grand scheme of things who gives a t*ss, seriously?
brilliantly written a...
cool i think
new psn store...
dunno what was wrong with the old one myself but okay! interested to know if anyone does actually know whats wrong with the current store?
