Hydroflex brought up MS going with HD-DVD. My point is, MS is primarily concerned with quality, affordable gaming, and digital downloads. Obviously they weren't going to support Sony...their biggest rival...at the beginning of a "format war". The fact that MS didn't even want to wait for HD-DVD, rather than go ahead and launch with DVD-9, absolves them of ANY criticism in this format war. They were a silent partner, for the most part, with Toshiba. They offered an add-on playe...
Just stop making stupid posts. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Stupid Sony. What is the point of having 50GB-200GB Blu-ray...crammed down the consumer's throat...when 95% of your games don't even utilize more than DVD-9, and 360 version's quality is still better?
Not sure where you got your info, but Too Human IS INDEED published by MS, and the entire trilogy will be exclusive to the 360.
Edit: LOL...and of course, some moronic fanboys click "disagree", just like they do for every single post.
I noticed you insisted on abbreviating Oblivion, while typing out everything else. Is there a reason for this, or just a strange quirk of yours. Oddly enough, most people refer to Bethesda Softworks as simply "Beth". I'm not busting balls, mind you....just curious. :/
Anyone who actually thought they'd get rich off of a lame class action lawsuit, is a moron. If you want to grab the BIG BUCK$, you'd better purchase some REAL "hot coffee", if you know what I mean. Though, I doubt McD's would fall for that again. :o
My wife and I spent over 300 hours with Oblivion ALONE. Fallout 3 and GTA4 combined, figure to provide no LESS than that. Fable 2 will be good for another 50, at least. ;)
PERIOD
Oh, and also, MORON. :o
...and a major hire for MS. Kudo is a f#ckin' genius, and one of the most dynamic personalities in gaming.
Who the hell cares what this 2-bit hack thinks?? TP:FOL is garbageware...should've been a launch title for the Phantom console. :o
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
The premium bundle, with 2 games, is $349, in most places, and the Arcade is $279, w/5 games.
...it's pure sh1t. This guy is a complete jackass.
Why the F@CK would ANYONE care what this guy has to say about the PS3, or ANY console development, for that matter? Have you SEEN TP:FOL ??? It's GARBAGE, people... early PS2/XBOX quality, AT BEST. I'm not surprised that this moron thinks only 2% of the PS3 has been tapped, because that's likely about all of the power of the PS3 and 360 they even used to run this crapfest.
What you, and apparently the "analysts" fail to understand, is that the HALO effect began waaaaay before the holiday season, in a completely different financial 1/4. With preorders in the millions, and a street date of Sept. 25th, the holidays didn't figure to be that much more of a boost to the 360, where HALO was concerned. COD4 was likely a bigger seller for the 360 this X-MAS than HALO 3.
That wasn't a LIVE account you signed up for, retard...it's only an MSN account, which is FREE. MS has over 10 million PAID GOLD SUBSCRIBERS to LIVE, and every single one is used for gaming...not to post in a freakin' forum.
Now stop spewing your ignorant garbage, and go play LAIR. :o
"Oh noooo....the 360 is failing!!!"
It's a full month after the holidays....EVERY manufacturer sees that much of a drop-off, if not MUCH MORE.
...so either way, MS platforms account for over 2/3 of their sales. ;)
When Activision/IW look at all the black in their books (that means profits, for the uneducated)...they think of MS Windows/360. ;)
Are they really trying to guess the # of consoles sold, based on the %age of people signing up for their FREE SERVICE??
If the service is FREE, then I would hope a much larger # of people would sign up. LIVE is a PAID service, and about 75% of 360 owners are GOLD SUBSCRIBERS.
I'm calling BS on this one. Either that, or Sony's PSN is MUCH more lame than fanboy's would have us believe. Hell, if less than have of PS3 owners are even bothering to register for this...
The cutscenes are o.k. (though last-gen Onimusha games still own all other cutscenes), but the gameplay graphics are no better than Lost Planet. Hell, most of the time, the freakin' camera was so far from the action, you couldn't see sh1t anyway...let alone much detail.
In a year or 2, MS will announce their 360 successor, which will trump the PS3 in every way. ;)
Edit: Travelguy, I've been telling people that all along. Some people don't seem to understand, that when you design a GAMING CONSOLE for GAMES FIRST, you aren't bound to ANY specific format. MS is just sitting back, watching all the new media technologies being developed...ASIDE from Blu-Ray and HD-DVD...and will make the best decision that suits the gamers. Win or lose, Sony was O...
