What a nightmare.
That is why storing your MEDIA on a set-top console is DUMB. Settop consoles should be the front-end player and connected to your media-server.
PS3 as a media-solution is all about the DRM fail. Sheesh.
I'd like an RPG - Heck, I'd *LOVE* a Halo Platformer.
A Halo platformer would cause fanboy-zealot-heads to explode.
YAY! I'll be ponying-up the 800pts for some old-school 3D shooter action.
No one in the world -- except sony fans here on N4G -- would be suprised by this.
Microsoft is a terrific competitor. If they move into a market, they do so to win.
You shouldnt be suprised by this at all.
Ha. Looks like someone missed the CD / MP3 lesson.
Digital Download is the *current* movie distribution method.
Have these people never heard of Bittorrent? Its not about sales -- its about getting the current downloads to be *for pay* downloads.
That is the purpose of Bluray, to replace DVD with a format with more DRM.
Hardware changes fixed the heat issues about 1.5 years ago - you need new FUD; this crap is getting OOOOOLLLLLDDDDD.
"start paying companies to give them some exclusives. Microsoft is doing and it "
What the heck do you know? Really. Just stop with the fiction.
Who says MS is "paying for exclusives" while Sony is not? Developers and Publishers want to do Xbox 360 games BECAUSE THEY SELL VERY WELL.
MS has the core gamer EXCEPTIONALLY engaged. No doubt about it. Gamers have Xbox 360 -- that is where the sales ($$$) are at.

Japanese **gamers** cannot ignore the industry leader.
This is a very telling event. Outsold PS3 by 300% -- Sony is loosing face.
"All of the key scenes, the things anyone is going to take a screenshot of are going to look exactly the same on both platforms," Carmack explains. "They'll get the high quality compression. But if you go into some areas in the wasteland, like behind a fence where nobody will typically go and explore, this is where the 360 version may look a little blurry compared to the PS3."
John Carmack
As Carmack said, the textures off behind some fence where NO ONE GOES will have slightly less detailed textures.
That is the difference. And, it ends up not being an engineering decision, but a license one related to printing discs. Big F-ing deal.
You sony zealots are *really* reaching arent you? Getting a little desperate eh?
I suppose you're going to say Fallout 3 sucks because of the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC?
I fully expect Zune music sales -- especially Zune Pass be on Xbox 360 very shortly.
Yes. It is about opinion, what you like vs. what I like.
But we are talking about the industry here. On the whole, the INDUSTRY - via game review scores - isnt about "opinion". Each review is an "opinion", but taken together, they become a concensus, and the only reasonable thing to quantify a subjective discussion.
And, at Metacritic, you can AMPLY see that the Xbox 360 has a better library of games (go see my earlier post in this discussi...
@mr bun 3.1
"quality vs quanity"
And, yet, their is METACRITIC right there for you to understand, that the QUALITY titles are no the Xbox 360.
Pick the top three exclusives.
Here are all the PS3 exclusives with Metacritic scores "Above 80". 16 titles (after 22 months, being 0.72 per month "above 80 exclusives). Also, there are 55 "above 80" (excluisve + multi) -- being 2.5 "above 80 exclusi...
@jamie foxx
"PSN..."
You're joking right? Xbox Originals and Xbox LIVE Arcade are vastly superior libraries to PSN titles.
*PLEASE* stop being ridiculous. Goto Metacritic, look at the meta-review scores -- now, pick out the top PSN titles and then pick out the top Xbox LIVE Arcade titles.
You'll find that the Xbox LIVE Arcade titles have superior reviews.
There is no other objective measure that can justify...
Peter Moore is an Executive at Electronic Arts. He is not a "fanboy".
Did you miss all the updates to Xbox LIVE that allow you to manage your LIVE identity and messages etc on the web? You can access this via your browser -- ANYWHERE.
Did you think Xbox LIVE Anywhere means you can play Halo 3 on your Windows Mobile Phone?
After all these years, you still believe this "playstation is a supercomputer" lie?
Sad. Just sad. You're a advertiser/marketer's wet dream -- totally gullible.
Moore is an executive with EA -- a partner of Sony. Are you really so emotionally invested in your "PS is a supercomputer" fiction that you're flatly ignoring reality?
Sad. Just sad.
He's 100% correct.
This is Sony's marketing method; over-promise (4D! Emotion Engine! Supercomputer!1!) and then deliver a mundane machine.
They do this *every* generation. Its not a suprise to anyone who has even the most modest critical thinking skills.
It's time to take your fanboy hats off and face reality; the PS3 has been an *epic* demonstration of Sony's behaviour.
Their is no point in trying to pretend otherwise, its 100% ob...
From the E3 press events, regarding the Xbox 360 Exclusive GTAIV DLC:
•When MS says exclusive, they mean that no other system can have DLC content for GTAIV
•It will be bigger than a lot of people think. GTA3 Vice City and San Andreas were basically expansions of GTA3. Think of the DLC that way. We are talking major expansion for GTAIV
•No price has been discussed yet. It’s up to Rockstar on whether or not they will charge for it
•If successful, DLC ...
I wish people would read your comment again.
This is where the rubber-meets the road about movies in the present. The CONVENIENCE of Digital Download trumps the 'extras' and the "hd-ness" of Bluray, every time.
I dont goto blockbuster because I can torrent movies. Not because I care about $2 for rental, but because I dont want to *drive* there (and back) to pickup/drop off a plastic disc. It is a WASTE of resources and my time.
