Kodu is serious fun. I purchased it last night, and spent the afternoon with my young (5) nephew making "his" game.
It had him very very excited.
I'm interested to see where MSR goes with this. It would be *very* good if XNA Programmers could build new methods, objects and actions and release them. Or, if Art Assets could be imported.
With a better back-end, this could be a real LBP killer. The core-mechanics are more flexible, now al...
The heat issues were resolved almost 2 years ago. They simply Are. Not. An. Issue.
But, beyond that, I find it truely silly the PS3 owner arguing "HEY! xbox 360 costs as much!1!"
Ok. Assume that is "True" (it's ridiculous, but nevermind). Imagine for a second that this idea was "True".
BOTTOM LINE: SO. WHAT?
So, it's "True" -- but NO ONE IS BUYING the PS3 *anyway*. WHAT IS THE POINT?
WiiHD in 2011.
PS4 (more ram, better GPU) to follow 2011.
Xbox 360.
Every generation lasts roughly the same number of years, Sony (nor MS) can ignore WiiHD if it ships in 2011.
I'd wager Sony would be most eager to end this gen and start the next. Perhaps they'll ship motion with the PS4 stanard in 2011.
Fable is a terrific series, one of the freshest new WRPG series in decades.
Fable III will probably continue their tradition of excellence, I've been blown away by the wonder, nuance and just sheer quality of Fable thusfar, I'll buy Fable III on day-one without a doubt.
The ps3 is selling poorly, and games are also selling poorly.
7 months of year over year sales declines. Solidly in last place, and exclusive titles selling terribly.
You need a does of reality.
A "slim model" better include a serious price cut. Anything else will be a waste of time.
Frankly, it's clear it's too late anyway.
PS4 == More Ram + Better GPU in 2011. Believe it.
I concur. The retail channel is going to rebel against Go (ie: help make it fail) unless Sony comes up with a sweet deal on PrePaid Go-Store cards.
Otherwise, perhaps sony can start selling PSP Go direct to consumers? That would be interesting frankly...
The people voting you down are overlooking the economic reality of the industry.
BEWARE friends.
Just note, this ebay auction appears in *no way* associated with buy.com.
However, you do see that the lister intentionally is trying to conflate his "ebay Buy store" with Buy.com (the brand/website/company you're all familiar with).
Just beware, people who intenionally confuse brands like this are usually up-to-no-good.
Caveat emptor as always.
I'd simply stick with the more reputable vendors...
Fable 2 should have Dog as an Avatar Award.
Oh yes, a Familiar in the Fantasy RPG sense. Very very cool. I'll take a griffon thank-you :)
I predict MS builds a "3D space" for Parties to show-off and toy with these Awards.
Can we all agree that this idiot website should be banned?
The guy is barely literate, I can barely understand what he's writing! He lacks critical thinking skills.
This isnt a *DEAL* in any sense.
If you trade in old titles, you can get *ANY* new game for "free".
Can we **PLEASE** ban this moron?

Apple iphone OS is the new Windows Mobile if this were 2002.

No. They dont need to add a bigger HD. They need to allow for Network attached storage that can be mounted to your Xbox 360.
This could be added with a Service from W7 and/or Windows Home Server.
Id vastly prefer this to a bigger HD on my Xbox 360. Why else? Because I'd like my Downloads to be available to *all* the Xbox 360s in the house. Ie; I dont want to download my content onto every Xbox 360, i want it served to each Xbox 360.
A more feature rich-Messenger client that;
Allows In-game PC-Xbox 360 Video-Calls.
Allows In-game PC-Xbox 360 Voice-calls.
(ie: the holy-grail "living room videophone" built up from LIVE Messenger and totally ubiquitous (who doesnt have Messenger? Want to make Video Calls from your Living Room to your aunt-with-a-PC-in-Florida? Get an Xbox 360)).
They'll also build out Primetime. I really think people are missing the implications of Pri...

PSN has a much worse problem with a-holes than XBL.
With XBL, i can rate (reputation) a player, I can avoid him, I can play only in certain zones and i can instantly MUTE players.
With PSN, their is no way to *AVOID* the arseholes.
The notion that XBL is populated with screaming children is bunk, I've used PSN and each time was blow-away with the screaming children there.
You must be talking about how Prototype and infamous ripped-off Crackdown right?

"quality control on XNA"
What the frack are you blathering about?
Xbox LIVE Community Games (Indy Games) has *NO* control at-all. Quality control. Language control. Length control. No control *AT ALL*.
That is the point.
Xbox LIVE Community Games is the democratization of Console Video Game publishing. The first effort to open Console Gaming to Indy-Developers.

This article is written like a 12-year-old's first fanboy FUD attemp.
Crackdown is one of the cult-hits and fan-favorites of the generation, it is hailed as a under-rated classic.
Dont believe me? Try and buy a used copy at EBGames (etc). Crackdown is normally in very short supply, and always at a price premium.
Why? Because gamers know it's a fcuking AAA title. And this article's writer is worried about this:
I'm interested to see where MSR goes with this. It would be *very* good if XNA Programmers could build new methods, objects and actions and release them. Or, if Art Assets could be imported.
With a better back-end, this could be a real LBP killer. The core-mechanics are more flexible, now all that is necessary is to increase the ability to import more content (mostly art).
