"And why has this not already been done? The only solution I can see is one unified console made by many companies."
3DO says hi.
quit spamming the boards. what you're doing is more annoying than fanboys.
they're contending that they should be able to sell PCs with the Mac operating system on it. That by purchasing and installing OSX onto the machines, they are doing nothing wrong, and by sueing them, Apple is breaching copywrite and fair use laws.
personally, I hope they win. Apple should be supporting this movement and trying to push their OS as much as possible. I would love to see an honest to goodness challenger to M$'s dominance in that market.
True, Apple ma...

That was mean of me, I should try to be nice...... :0/
i thought his analogy was spot on.
but how about this instead
it's like buying a car (360) and you can only drive it over 30 if you put premium gas in it (Live). Sure you could still drive it with unleaded, but your not getting everything out of your car.
is that better for you?
I almost kinda sorta agree with that, but I believe you're hearing it more from 3 types of people:
1. Owners of both consoles, that are having a harder and harder time justifying paying for live
2. Potential owners of a 360 that want to play on Live, but can't justify spending money on it (this includes wii and PS3 only owners)
3. PS3 owners that want to gripe, lol
Personally, I fall into category 2. I own both a wii and PS3, and I'd love the chance to p...
What are you, a M$ rep? it's either that or a somebody that loves corporate kool-aid. seriously, you're gonna go with the PR tactic of "per day"? I have to push that kind of BS at my sales job, and it's not fun, and more times than not, something comes down from corporate like that and nothing good happens. either the customer is pissed, or the employees get pissed.
PR BS like that takes away from people's understanding of what they are paying, and getting. Guess wh...
I agree that few games are worth that price point.
I actually think we might see a move to a "floating price" type of market for games.
Games with big potential, big hype, would probably be at the price.
ex. Killzons, Halos, GTAs
Other more modest games would be lower.
I agree with Lightning and Cajun,
I completed R1 with my brother in Co-op, and have had many many parties were we break out the game just to play a death match. Good times.
The removal of those features was definetely a step backward.
In fact, the move towards more online multiplayer instead of co-op split screen play is a step back for the industry in general, imo.
.
if you remember, Halo 3 stuff started popping up everywhere about a month before the game release, including Burger King (i believe)
There were mountain dew commercials, and many others.....
THAT is how you build hype.
what you miss is that the titles were not exclusive before, and, though REPORTED exclusive initially, they were never ACTUALLY exclusive.
It's like me going out to dinner saying, i think i'm going to have steak, then I order surf & turf. It's not final till the contracts are written out and signed, no matter what the press release reads.
What you are explaining as "exclusives" they lost, is just fanboy hype and speculation.
If we can include L.A....
i heard the bird was the word
is that true?
i don't understand the outcry about it. it doesn't sound like anything to me, and even if it did, how is that offensive? I'd understand if it said "declare jihad".
The news media needs to focus on something more productive, like, oh, our economy, and how a company we bailed out wants to buy another jet, and a president at one of the companies spent a million to redecorate his office. (thankfully he was fired, and is going to reimburse the money)
they should start it at the beginning of the month. in fact the superbowl would be a perfect time to debut your new ad campaign
wow, you missed the point... and unfortunately you can't respond again.
how sad
never did i call you a fanboy or claim your bias (you're apparently paranoid)
what I was actually saying is that you need to realize that game development comes and goes all the time. it's not unusual for games to be cancelled.
If you're argument was that the PS3 caused these companies to fail because of their agreement with Sony, then you obviously have no idea how...
Do some research before you post nonsense.
Factor 5 was NOT a Sony studio and neither is Free Radical.
How about cancelled 360 games?
WarDevil (exclusive to PS3 now)
Marvel Universe Online
Alhambra (XBLA title)
Your argument is faulty as titles get shifted and cancelled all the time.
Timesplitters was not exclusive to the PS3, with the series also being released on the Xbox and Gamecube.

actually dchalfont, i just got a shipping quote from fedex (for fun) and I was quoted $480.58
maybe I did something wrong, or maybe there's cheaper, but it just gives you an idea

hitthegspot,
so, according to you, you "just" got a PS3, but you got a 60gb model? really? something doesn't smell right.
Anywhoo, back on topic.......
the PS3 hasn't reached the pricepoint for the casual market, so it's no suprise that they aren't buying it yet. When the price drops another 150-200, then I'd be worried if casuals don't flock to it. Right now, it's to soon to panic. Besides, casual gamers flock to whatever is cheap and now, which ...
