There is tremendous demand now, but that's certainly not for the 360 itself, it's for Kinect. The 360 has had a $199 price point for ages now, and their users are generally unaware of feature set and value (buying units without a hard-drive for example).

MS has always had the cheapest HD console. It remains to be seen where the market will go when they are all (Wii included, though it could always be the cheapest) relatively on par.

and make it synch with the server (but faster would be nice than the speed at which it does currently). Sealing up the kit seemed to work for the PSP Go too, you can only exploit it now from a few games and I still don't think that it runs any custom firmware yet.

That Omega-style trolling; not so blatant that you can get flagged for it.

Now you just seem desperate and sloppy. Time for you to make a new account, I guess.

That's the whole angle with Move: it's an optional control scheme enhancement. As it stands now (but I'm sure that will change) Kinect is for Kinect enabled software only. Heavy Rain and Resident Evil 5 are "Move compatible". That's a reality.

There are Move only titles, as well as Move compatible titles, all are part of the same portfolio. Resident Evil 5 and Heavy Rain do count, much as you might not want them too.

Someday ce...

One of my favorite games this year. They just need to tighten up the controls a bit more for the sequel, everything else was perfect.

If anyone can pull off a decent Cthulu mythos, it's him.

Oh, and the Dragonlace and old SSI D&D computer games. Friggn' awesome stuff. Like a lot of games, I thought that my fascination with the series stemmed from nostalgia. Go back and play them again and they wouldn't hold up so well. Not true. I'm on the second of the Dragonlance PC saga and the titles are brilliant. The only area in which a lot of these games are dated is graphics.

Story and sytems are top-notch. Developers could learn a thing or two abo...

It's Xenophobia, yes.

However, how do you think Americans' would feel if a Punjabi or Hindu took over Ford? Or a Chinese-American stepped up to run Chrysler?

Look a the massive shit-storm and PR nightmare that went down when people suspected that Obama was a Muslim.

I'm multi-ethnic and consider myself pretty open minded and liberal (gay brother, don't racially identify myself), but I'm still aware that people have their ...

It can't be both, as GT5 has already (or will very shortly - this depends on whether people chose to believe VGC and numbers that all three manufacturers have disputed at some point) out paced Forza 3 in terms of sales. Forza 3 was released over a year ago and around 8-9% of the 360 userbase bought the game and that's with excessive bundling and the usual price-drops over time (it's currently listed for $17.99 on Amazon). Around the same percent of the PS3 userbase bought GT5 in ...

I haven't even noticed that there's a lull in releases till January either. Too much content.

Edit: Some of the pre-order downloads are buggy. I'm just going to wait till they release the beta on PSN - assumedly tomorrow and I expect it will be operational then :)

Oh, and what model of PS3 are you using? I used to have that 99% issue with betas until I swapped to a Slim. My phat did not like betas, apparently.

Just think that it's cool that the option is even there for a proprietary piece of tech made almost five years ago.

Ken K. was a freakn' visionary.

GB LAN port. If you read the article it explains this and details real-time occurrences (Gran Turismo 5 running in super-HD on networked PS3s).

PS3 has some incredible foresight and design, when you think about it. Even if they don't use this tech (though they probably will in some way), it's amazing that they 'could'.

Perhaps you're not aware but people can have one different than your own. Perhaps you'd like to explain, from your perspective how the game is "shit".

I gave several reasons why it's enjoyable (forgot to mention that the PS3 version has Japanese audio and subtitles too) and even the Western media gave it average to good scores across the board. Game has well over 100 hours of play, nice visuals, lots of exploration and secrets, new game +, extra dungeo...

It's a super fun game. The story isn't as bad as people would lead you to believe. The combat system is the real meat of the game as well as the sense of exploration.

After the endless tunnel that was FFXIII it's nice to have such an open world game (no Oblivion, but really expansive environments).

It's not a total waste of a tank of gas. 2011 is going to be killer on the wallet if all these games actually make their target dates.

At least you could mod the PC ones so that they didn't look like green old men.

Edit: Pretty sure that's Max Von Sydow in the trailer too. Epic stuff.

They want to separate it from the Entertainment and Services division so that it can actually post decent profits. It's the other services in the division that are dragging it down. Sorry if that wasn't clear but I did say "entertainment division".

Game looks incredible - refreshing amidst the sea of FPSes. I do hope that the gameplay holds up, but from what I've seen it looks brilliant too.

That's not what the article is about at all. I've done the reading for you and here it is:

The article commends MS' success with Kinect, but seeing as how small a portion of MS' overall profit Kinect and the 360 division are, it will have a minimal impact on the overall share value.

Analysts have been saying this for a while. This is where the whole segment off (not "close down") the Xbox and Entertainment division idea comes fro...
