You would think they would have learned from the Vista debacle but NOOOOO... Stupid is as stupid does and MS seems to be following the same recipe for FAIL. Apple has it right with OS X just like Linux has it right as well. They deserve to crumble due to this stupidity. Just make ONE Windows 7 like they did with Windows 2000 Professional and make the same 3 tiers of Windows server, Standard, Enterprise and SBS. That has been a winning combo for a long time maybe if they took a look back at...
The patents for cross game chat, player invites and custom sound tracks will not hold water in court. Simply put as long as the programming used, IE: Source code, is not the same the feature can be implemented. MS has been too complacent with their patent library, especially knowing that the majority of them are so vague they will not stand the test in court. This is why MS postured their patent portfolio at Linux and the open source community and were laughed at. Same goes for Sony or an...
Advertising Vaio, Bravia and PS3 to the MILLIONS of people who will pass through Yankee stadium this year. GENIUS.
"LOL darksider your the exact type of fanboy im talking about.
"Do you then care to explain how Halo 3 sold as many copies as it has?"
Take a wild guess why it has. Maybe because the multiplayer is one of the best online experiences you can have this gen and that the prequels were amazing games that paved the way for FPS's on consoles. Halo3 multiplayer is an amazing experience."
And I am the fanboy? Pot meet kettle. kthxbye
I don't know which game looks worse? Splatterhouse or this tanker.
"...KZ will be an afterthought in the REAL gaming community. When it comes down to it OF2 will most likely be the defining FPS this gen."
Do you then care to explain how Halo 3 sold as many copies as it has? Either the REAL gaming community is BLIND or you are talking out of your ass. My opinion is the latter.
Imagine if you will...
Q1 2009 Killzone 2
Q2 2009 Infamous and Heavy Rain
Q3 2009 MAG, WKC and New R&C
Q4 2009 God of War III and Uncharted 2
Q1 2010 GT5
Now imagine you not leaving your house for most of if not all of 2009 and early 2010! ;)
IBM is currently trading near, at or slightly above $90 USD/share. Where the hell is that tanking? Not to mention that Sony is up over $20 USD/share and have been holding a $1+ gain all day. Whereas MS has yet to gain more than 30 cents on the day after their layoff and earnings announcement.
Simply put. $50 mil for DLC (2 expansions) and there are what 7 mil sold for the 360? If (I said IF) 20% of the folks out there buy the DLC at $20 that would be a gross revenue of 28 Million USD of which 30% goes to MS. Which in turn would result in MS making $8.4 Million USD. So either Rockstar will be forking over a huge chunk to MS or better hope that the second installment of DLC sells like mad. Unfortunately due to the time to market for the first the second would likely receive les...
Yes the Euro versions were software BC but still had one of the two hardware components inside. The software BC units US 80 gig and Euro still had the GS in it but the EE was removed and emulated through software. The current 40/80/160 gig models have neither.
You forgot about Uncharted, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword!
It's worth the pickup. You can get it for around $13 USD used at a gamestop and it really is a pretty good game.
I commented in another article about this game. Granted while not the BEST FPS out there it didn't deserve the complete bashing it received. I went out and purchased it a couple months back and played through the SP and played some MP. The SP campaign wasn't all too bad althought the story was, meh at best. Controls were pretty tight and responsive and the graphics, while not stellar, were decent. The MP isn't too bad either, pretty fast paced and no lag to speak of. Unfortunately this ...
Spec Ops FTW!!!!
I have been using *nix (Linux, Unix, BSD) for nearly 18 years now and will never go to a MS operating system. With the recent friendly distros like Ubuntu, Mint, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva and OpenSuSE it has become even easier for users to switch to, learn and use Linux. As for application compatibility I have found that Linux has more than enough native applications that equal or rival those in the Windows world. As for games, Wine, CrossOver and Cedega do an EXCELLENT job of allowing you to ru...
Interesting you use GM as an example. They lose more every month than Sony has lost throughout 2008.
I would love to see this aggressive marketing campaign happen. A TV and print ad blitz along with some good product placement in movies handled by Sony studios. Better yet PS3 ads as a trailer or ad prior the movie. Just makes common sense.
That Sir Stringer does an Apple and helps commoditize the PS3 and future Playstation product lines and supply them with excellent services and software. That would be a BEAUTIFUL thing.
Could you imagine an iPod like response to the PSP2? >shudders<
OR
Tight Macintosh like integration with the PS3/4/5, etc... and Sony's Camcorders, Cameras, Cell Phones and TVs.
Again, here's hoping.
OK click on the little link I provided up top. The GAMING division has shown some of the lowest losses of ALL divisions Sony has. Granted there will be some restructuring but by no means will they kill off one of the most profitable product lines they make.
too bad. But OMG what's with the freakin' headgear!? Maybe just MAYBE there will be a large enough outcry for the artists to change the rocketeer meets speed racer meets ninja look to something a little less ridiculous? Other than that I can say it looks pretty neat.
