No on but Xbox fanboys give a damn about 1Up anymore. The site's only purpose anymore is:
1) Hype anything Halo related 24/7/365
2) Hand out 9 or 10/10 scores to 360 games
3) Trash PS3 and Wii games
4) Get Xbox fanboys working at 1Up hired away to Microsoft or one of its first party developers by doing 1-3
The Xbots at 1Up are probably already brainstorming on how they are going to trash Killzone 2 when it comes out this year.

"Had Blu Ray lost the next gen battle then ps3 would have easily lost the battle. "
All it would have done is made BluRay drive and media/replication costs somewhat higher due to no one but Sony manufacturing and producing BluRay drives and discs.
At worst it would have just been bad press like Microsoft is getting for HD-DVD dying even though it really has no direct effect on the console and games.
Xbox fanboys do, of course.
The 'bogus/rigged mediocre game that no one cares about' screenshot comparison is all they have left...
And here we go again...
Another inane fanboy writing his inevitable 'Golly! I'm totally shocked the PS3 is do so well after all that stupid 'PS3 is teh doomed' crap last year' article.
A year from now this clown will be writing an equally inane 'Wow! Who would have thought the PS3 would be dominating in sales across all three regions!' articles.
Sony has sold almost 130 million PS2s since 2000. Sony brought virtually all of their existing 105 milli...
"And I finally beat it. Guess which one?"
No one cares.
Just like no one cares about a game that is gimped to run on the Xbox 360's smaller than last gen 7gig DVD discs, no standard harddrive, and wimpy graphics hardware.
When DMC was released on the PS2 years ago it looked and played like a real next gen game because it wasn't gimped to run on the Dreamcast.
Capcom's once great reputation is ruined until they can demonstra...
"Blu-ray still hasn't shown that it is absolutely necessary."
LOL, what little tard.
So pathetic.
LJWooly you miserable little fück, when DMC came out for the PS2 years ago it didn't look like a fücking Dreamcast game because Capcom wasn't stupid enough to downgrade the game to make a little bit of extra cash.
People like you are an embarrassment to gamers on all platforms.
The Xbox 360 has ruined one of the great franchises from last gen.
Yes, congrats, Capcom. You gimped one of last gen's classic franchises just to make a bit of extra cash off the 360 and its smaller than last gen DVD storage, no standard harddrive and wimpy graphics hardware.
60 bucks for a gimped down to 360 level game.
Sorry, you lose Capcom.
And now console gamers get to sit through the tedious and asinine second act of every "PS3 is teh doomed!" article from last year with an equally asinine 'PS3 resurgence' article.
Sony has two and only two real things they are competing against this gen:
1) HDTV adoption rates - unlike previous gens you really need a 1080p set to get the full PS3 experience
2) Manufacturing cost reductions - the reports of the dramatic cost reductions for...
The little punk who write for Wired is a pathetic Wii fanboy. Nothing but another worthless bit of flamebait from the little shît.
Flame? Don't think so.
Laugh at the vgchartz fanboy fantasyland numbers once again. Vgchartz just got bïtchslapped with real numbers for France today and were finally forced to fix their as usual massively inflated 360 numbers and undercounted PS3 numbers - although they in a final bit of 360 fanboy defiance refuse to use the actual number for France are are still inflating the 360 numbers a bit.
Ever since the PS3 started outselling the 360 in worldwide sal...
Killzone 2??? LOL!
Get this Xbox fanboy garbage out of here. Stop crying over how Gorilla Games absolutely nailed their real time/gameplay footage that all the Xbox fans were trying to claim wouldn't be possible until the PS4.
If there is one game/engine that epitomizes 'bullshot' this generation it is Epic's Unreal Engine 3 with Gears of War and Unreal Tournament and almost every other UE3 engine game.
Sony has about 20 internal development studios, Nintendo has around 8, and Microsoft has about 3 or 4.
The PS2 had the largest and most diverse lineup ever for a console - most PS2 owners I know still have a multi-year backlog of PS2 titles still to play or finish. And Sony has vastly expanded their internal first party development since the PS2 days. So for those 125 million PS2 owners out there the PS3 gives them all those same franchises they bought their consoles for plus a...
The Downfall of HD-DVD

The article states 50 billion for the acquisition. The last time the Yahoo rumors circulated I believe it was 80 billion. Whatever the actual figure and regardless if the acquisition actually happens this time it is a huge chunk of money.
And this is just to try to compete with Google in the booming add market. Microsoft is also trying to compete in the corporate search market and the app rental market. All these markets potentially require similar large acquisitions. Regardles...
And that is why this game is going to get hammered in 'reviews' from the usual Xbot sites like EGM/1Up.
MGS4 is going to getting lots of 8/10s and maybe even some 7s:
"Didn't live up to the hype"
etc...
Konami really should float a false MGS4 on 360 quote just before reviewers get the game so it can get honest reviews and not Xbot sour grapes and tantrums over the game not coming to their platform.
Banjo-Kazooie, it was a game from Rare on the N64 released in 1998.

"Warner Home Entertainment President Kevin Tsujihara says the studio took no pay-offs to exclusively back Blu-ray.
In a post-announcement conference call, Tsujihara flatly denied rumors that studio had accepted anywhere from 250M to $500M in exchange for dropping its HD DVD format support.
According to the exec, Warner's sole motivation in ...
"Here's another rumor: FOX and WB were going to go HD exclusive this year and it was going to be announced this year at CES. FOX backed out at the 11th hour, and warner in turn followed. This format war came down to the wire."
That is nothing but a Net messageboard fairytale.
"there's nothing but pure, unbiased opinion."
LOL!
1UP, the site that actually was so pathetically desperate to hype Halo 3 and trash Killzone 2 they actually invented an 'Best AI Award' out of the blue and shockingly! gave the top prize to Halo 3 and Killzone 2 was shockingly! put at the bottom of the list even though:
1) Killzone 2 was still a year away from shipping
2) The only demos of Killzone 2 were nothing more than ...
