The gamestop version is actually a 'special edition', it has special packaging (slipcover with front fold out, 360 interior art looks blurry for whatever reason), exclusive in game challenges, the Assassin suit (which halves the time for your Dead Eye to regenerate) and it also includes the soundtrack. I took a good look at work today, I'm getting it for the ps3, but, the 360 gamestop version also has those things I listed as well. If doesn't cost anything as well, it's ...
"Not sure how this went down everywhere but at the midnight launch event our local Gamestop split the store down the middle...360 owners on one side and PS3 owners on the other to get two lines going so at midnight they could just fire through the preorders...there were over 200 people there and about 25 peeps were in the 360 line"
Okay so let's see my store had a bunch of people show up for our midnight launch. Our numbers were PS3- 196 copies versus 360 - 48 copies, ...
Maybe it's just a lead up to bringing the series multiplatform by roping in some new customers, but, I think that it would make more sense to just keep it on the PS3.
They spent millions to build a new engine with awesome HD graphics and runs off the cell and is perfect with bluray. Why in the hell would anyone think it's a good idea to waste that patented engine and money? It makes no sense at all. 360 fans keep on saying that MGS is just one long movie anyways everytime I ju...
No one had Wii's in stock. In fact according to the Nintendo rep I spoke to, this Christmas was there biggest ever and they just ran out of stock, apparently all their north american warehouses were/are empty. I'd have to agree because we haven't had more than 12 units in my store since January.
It's only a temporary sale. It'll end on the 19th.
"Just at our store we are at 54 reservations on the PS3 and 8 on the 360. Its pretty clear that the PS3 version will outsell the 360 version. The people with choice will get it on the PS3, lets just be happy that some people without such a luxury will be able to enjoy this great game on either the PS3, or the 360."
Yeah well my store has 180 pre-ordered on the PS3 and only 44 on the 360 and the only reason the 360 version will get some extra sales is because my store is...
Does anyone actually believe that the 360 version will outsell the PS3 version?
My midnight launch at the store I work at has PS3 at a ratio of 5:1. It's only one store I know, but, if it's any indication like our COD MW2 launch was for our sales, I don't think it's going to be even close PS3 sales will destroy the 360 ones.
It'll be something around $150 U.S. for the 250 Gb hd, it's listed in my computer at work for $160 Canadian I think. They're already listed at EB's/Gamestops everywhere, I work there so I should know.
"Best racing sim ever.
So many great reviews for this game. Ign even went as far as saying that it would be hard for the competition to beat this game. Forza 3 articles always attract the ps3 fanboys like fly's on shyt. Must be insecurity. Turn 10 delivered the goods as promised. "
Yeah too bad they didn't deliver in sales. Oh wait and it has no competition right now just like 360's first year sales.
"Number 1 in the UK in it's release week, the game will be in the top 5 when the NPD for October is released and cracked the top 10 in Japan in it's release week in that territory. How is that not a sales success? Can a fanboy like Troll_Police please explain."
But if it doesn't outsell Drakes 2 then it's a failure, because according to 350 fan's Uncharted 2 sales weren't that great so vice versa should be true I guess. According to 360 fans though, none of those sales...
"I'll turn that around and ask: if the PS3 is more powerful, shouldn't it be showing it with better-looking multi-platform games?"
Batman AA and a bunch of EA games are looking pretty good and 3rd party games will get better as they come to know how to properly code for the PS3. There are more and more games that look the same or better on the PS3. Just look at Batman or some of the recent 3rd party games. I hear about the nitpicking about little things, but, that's ...
I don't know I'm hearing a lot of 360 fans claiming that the 360 is just as powerful, but, when it's all said and done talk is cheap, where's your solid proof? The 360 not only had a year head start, it's easier to code for and already has the 'best' multiplatform games, so how come pretty much none of the 1st party stuff from MS match even the best looking 3rd party games then? Isn't that a little contradictory? Shouldn't the 1st party stuff be blowing away 3rd party games?
...
"That may look great for their sales figures, but it's a skewed view - and I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation. (Although to be honest I am happy enough with my PC, PS3 and Wii, so I'd have to think hard before spending money on another 360) "
Exactly, I work at a game store and I get customers come in regularly saying they'll just buy an arcade with the better chipset and keep their hard drives to recover their gamer score/account. It'll take awhile, but, ...
"Right.
How many price drops, SKU changes,failed Virtual worlds, firmwares and certain Xbox killer First Party games did Sony throw out this gen and had NO effect against its competitors keeping its strong brand in 3rd place for 3years??"
The 360 which had a 10 million 1 year head start? I'll ask you this then, with any of the price drops the 360 had that pushed their sales ahead. Have they ever sold 1 million units in 3 WEEKS?
You can use w...
"So no extra controller or unique design oh well, maybe there will be with the GT5 bundle. Seems strange to bundle a sequel with a new console without the first game."
Halo 3, GTA IV, RE5, MW2 250gig, MGS4 bundles. Oh yeah sequels which will sell lot's of units doesn't make sense at all they're just crazy.
It'll move units that's the only factor that actually matters. Why give MW1 or uncharted 1 with the console? That's a terrible idea, just make them ...
"Wow after the total disrespect jaffe show for his fans and the his customers I lost all respect for this guy. I think I just buy God of war 3 use of ebay so he cant have a dime of my money then I'll resell it "
He's not even involved with God of War 3 so why would you be punishing him?
"Now that's showing off in terms of the gaming industry, and unlike Japan, they either aren't creatively stagnant, or they've yet to reach i"
It can be hit or miss I think. I've seen some really bad Korean movies/tv shows that just blatantly rip off hollywood/japanese/hong kong movies. Same can be said for games/manwha's as well there are some blatant rip offs as well. Don't get me wrong there is some good stuff there sometimes, but, there's a lot of crap to get to t...
"You guys still believe this kind of stuff? I think it could be done fine, the only game I couldn't see done on 360 that is on PS3 is Heavy Rain, everything else seems manageable by 360.
What's next? Final Fantasy XIII can only be done on PS3? Pfft..... oh wait..."
Well SE hasn't done anything notable this gen so far, so what are you basing your comment on? A couple of trailers? The game isn't even out yet and your saying it's going to be amazing? Whe...
"SE only cares about money $$$. If the hardware sells they only put it on that system. They will never make a exclusive game for the PS3. Except Final Fantasy Versus only on PS3 in Japan. But still SE only cares bout how much software they can sell. So I don't think they will even make a exclusive title for PS3 anytime soon."
Well according to Wada, versus is WORLDWIDE exclusive, not just Japan. 13 is Japan exclusive. 14 may show up on 360.
They have all the content I listed in my post. Your good to go *thumbs up* >_<
