I TB harddrive is unnecessary if optical disks will be utilized because 250gb to 320gb should suffice. Digital Distribution is a long way off- may be next-next gen. Most people do not have blazing fast internet. Lots of people have dial-up, 768k internet. Digital Distribution will become a reality when 5 to 25 mbps internet become dirt cheap like 30 USD a month.
The GPU causes the RROD, not the CPU. The GPU is made by ATI which is owned by Intel.
Microsoft is not goint to use an Intel Quad Core CPU. They can't afford it. Last Gen they used a pentium 3 and they never made a profit.
Face it, the Cell has the best bang for the buck. You might not like it but that is the best option.
Microsoft could develop a new CPU and they would have to pay millions in R&D and developers will complain about how its so compli...
You can't port a 360 game to the Ps3 and expect it to look good.
First of all, the 360's cpu is three core general purpose cpu which means it will run on any code no matter how crappy.
The PS3 runs on specialized code. It won't run very well on general purpose code.
PS3 to 360 ports however are better because 360 will still run specialized code for the PS3 with minor alterations because it uses a general purpose cpu.
Here's an analogy to clarify th...
The writer of this article is highly uninformed and is spinning numbers to garner support. Even Microsoft could not utter this with a straight face.No game on the 360 could EVER boast that number because of the 360's UNIFIED SHADER structure.
That number is achievable ONLY if all the 48 shaders on the 360 take on the role of vertex shaders. Which means there wouldn't be any pixel shaders available to render the pixels and/or colors on screen. If the 360 renders 500 million polyg...
At any given cycle, the shaders in the 360's GPU are either vertex or pixel shaders. That polygon count is only achievable by assuming that ALL the shaders are assuming the roles of vertex shaders. The only way the 360 could pull this off is by not using any pixel shaders which means to colors which means no picture on screen.
Pixel shading is more prevalent in gaming than vertex shading that's why graphics cards have more pixel shaders than vertex shaders. So in a sense, the 36...
Majority of Xbox 360 owners enjoy paying $50 for an online service that should be FREE and they are also watching ads on it. Just like they are paying $100 extra for Wireless adapter that should be free or at least cheaper.
You guys need a lesson in economics.
If company is ripping you off and you condone it, they will continue doing it.
Why would you choose to pay extra, if you can have it for free?
All you to do is complain to MS and if enough ...
The more competition, the better.
Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, and Warhawk are excellent games I can personally vouch for. I've been playing Warhawk since December and I'm loving. I enjoyed R&C and Uncharted as well. I will be purchasing heavenly sword and Resistance after the price cut and I will likely also be purchasing MGS4, Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 later this year.
All these games provide a variety of AAA games and they are all exclusives. Anyone who denies these games are bad is not a true g...
You said "MGS4 imo was sony's biggest game in 2008". 2008 is just barely past the half mark. How do you know resistance 2 won't outsell MGS4? I'm not saying it will but it is a possibility. Two years ago, people didn't think the Wii would be outselling the two most powerful game consoles ever deviced by mankind combined.
You cannot predict the future but you can make educated guesses but your statement was far from educated it was wrong.
The whole game isn't that much on the 360. DVD9 offers less than 8.5gbs of space for developers.
Congratulations, You have officially completed the stages of grief.
GiantEnemyCrab's grieving process listed below
Denial- Microsoft is the best.
Anger- Sony and Ps3 sucks
Bargaining-Can I trade in my 360 for a PS3?
Depression-RROD
Acceptance- I'm a AFI®-Another Fvcking Idiot
Your therapy at XAMP® must be very effective.

Boohoo.. Go cry somewhere else fishhead..

@ Juuken; have you finally gotten you 360?
If so, how do you like it?
On topic
Sony is going to own the show. Prior to purchasing my Ps3, I had a very difficult choice to make: Ps3 or 360. 360 WAS the better choice a year ago but I wanted something that would be the better choice in the long run for ME (someone else might feel different and that's okay because both are excellent mac...
sold around 90,000 copies and it is considered an excellent game. There are many good games that aren't popular due to bad marketing or a lack of a marketing budget.
How can you justify RROD? Even Microsoft knows it is a bad time and won't justify their mistake. You take fanboyism to a level that no one can relate to; not even people on Microsoft's payroll will say such a thing.
Your ignorance truly is very sad. why would you repair the cell? There is nothing wrong with it. It's a little tough to program for but guess what, it's new technology. As time goes on, developing for the cell will be a little easier just like the emotion chip.
is a sad disease indeed. Be a gamer not a hater. You hate so much, you sh*t out a diarrhea haterade on a daily basis.
This guy has justed suffered severe hemorrhage in his visual field due to his severe fanboyism. Someone needs to administer a massive dose of MGS4, Uncharted, Heavenly sword, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction and Warhawk before the paramedics take him to SCEA headquarters for further treatment.

and the demo is very good, I am buying this game.
I think the demo is going to be over 2gb because 1 level is already 2gb. I don't think Sony will let this game flop. I'm sure they'll spend more money and delay it some more if they have to because every 360 fanboy is waiting for another Lair and Haze.
Epic could still make much more of an improvement with the game but if people like you show complacency at this point in development, why would they bother optimizing the game because they know people would easily fork over $60 bucks on any game regardless of quality.
The first Gears was absolutely stunning for its time and you should demand from Epic a game of a relative caliber.
You need to see a neurologist and ophthalmologist because it seems you have suffere...
If this was a PS3 game, everyone here would start bashing it.
They re-using the same location and most of the same assets. They just made slight changes.
Epic needs to stop being lazy and you guys need to stop indulging them.
Criticize when appropriate and praise when appropriate. Remember you're paying $60 for this game, make sure you're getting your money's worth.
Demand more from Epic.
It's your satisfaction with unoptimized games that ...
Take your sweet time. No need to rush out new consoles just keep on releasing new games and I'll be fine.
I'm not ready to invest hundreds to thousands of dollars on consoles and their respective games until 2013, 2014 even 2015.
Who's with me?
